"Unification & inspiration through servant leadership"

As delicious chocolate chip cookies are cooling down a bit I thought I'd take a moment to share my thoughts of the day! It can be divided into positives & negatives(like most days).
Negatives:
1. I despise blow drying my hair. I know it may not look as if I have a ton of hair but in all honesty I do. It takes at least 20 minutes which adds up when you do it most days.
2. Cold feet(literally) are no fun. There is very few things I hate and having cold feet ranks pretty high on such a small list.
Positives:
1. I am sooo excited about the direction SGA is headed. We finally are seeming to get things together and I am thrilled. I am learning to love the members more and more each time we accomplish something amazing. Today we had a meeting(very, very long meeting) & got through a lot of things. We developed a mission/vision statement for Student Government which is, "Unification and Inspiration through servant Leadership." All of our projects will now be centered around unity, inspiring others, service, and leadership.
2. There are some pretty tasty looking cookies staring at me so I will be wrapping this up promptly. This is a positive because I LOVE warm chocolate chip cookies. (:

Dearest Utah

My dear sweet Utah, What an amazing three weeks you've given me. You always will be my home away from home and I will always be grateful for my summers spent with you. Utah, you teach me a lot every single time I'm with you, and this year you've given me much to be thankful for. You have taught me that family is never that far away. You have taught me that life in itself gives great challenges, but those challenges make me stronger. You have taught me that one of my most favorite things is seeing my grandparents hold hands while walking together. You have taught me that the mountains are the most beautiful place in the world. You have taught me that the stars are so much brighter when you are actually looking for them. You have taught me how much I am blessed to have such amazing friends back home. You have taught me that it's okay not to look your best every day. You have taught me that Law & Order: SVU is a slight addiction shared by my cousins and myself. You ha...

102 Days.

Well Folks, it's been exactly 102 days since my car left home and headed out west. Each day that I'm away from home I discover more about myself, my relationships, and my Heavenly Father. It's hard to place a time or a date to your life changing especially when it happens over a period of time and through many hard lessons. Now more than ever I realize the importance of relying on my Heavenly Father in all times, in all things, and in all places. I have such a testimony of the love my Savior gives me. He is my constant companion and he is my everything. At times things can get dark and things can get lonely. During these moments of trial we too often forget our divine worth. We were all sent here with a unique and special plan. We were destined for greatness and we were destined to allow ourselves to achieve that divine potential. I have learned to never give up on my Savior, because when I don't give up on him I don't give up on myself. These past 102 days have...

What I want my future kids to know when they are in their early 20's.

If you've been reading my blog since the beginning you'll already know that I blog for my future posterity. If you haven't been reading since the beginning you now know that is why I blog. I've been doing a lot of soul-searching lately and I decided there are some things I really want my kids to know about my life during the early 20's. People say High School is the hardest time of your life. Those people are idiots because the hardest years of my life have been the early 20's. Here are the few things I know for certain and things I really take to heart about this time in my life. 1. Finish college. Knowing I now have a diploma and a bachelors degree brings comfort and security. I can't control many things in my life but getting my degree and being done is something I can and did control. Knowing I accomplished something hard and admirable has been incredible. FINISH COLLEGE. 2. It's okay to not be married yet. Sometimes I feel a little left behind...
