Sweet Summer is FINALLY here!

I am an official graduate of Columbia High School, class of 2011. As weird as this sounds, trust me it feels much weirder. I will no longer endure 5 minutes to get to class, worrying about what I'm going to make myself for lunch each day, and the unnecessary yelling in the hallways. Summer is finally here and I am reminded daily of why it is one of my favorite things in the world. There is nothing like laying out in the sun(thinking I'll get more tan when everyone knows that won't happen), and sleeping in. There have been a lot of "favorites" so far this summer so here are just a few:
1. iPhone 4. You and yoiur simple beauty have become one of my favorite objects. "Betty" is amazing and I wonder why I ever loved my Droid so much. I'm an addict to my phone.
2. This next one isn't so happy, but still hilarious now. Have you ever seen 7 people break a staircase? I have. I was one of the 7. It's a long story, but if you want to know just look at the pictures on Facebook or ask me. (:
3. My two best friends chasing their dreams. Katherine went to Guatemala for a week and found her relationship with God increase. Francis went to Hawaii and learned that she missed me more than she thought ;) She is moving into her dorm Wednesday and I will be there to support and love her during the whole process. She amazes me with her strength and her wonderful advice. I am a very lucky girl to have such amazing friends.
4. Day at Girls Camp. Hannah Jo and I went to camp for a day and we realized just how much we LOVED our years at camp. It was fun talking with the leaders and remembering past camp memories.

Summer is just hardly here, and I can already tell it will be one of my most memorable. Utah, Shelby is coming in July!

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...
