2 Weeks. 14 Days. 336 hours. 20,160 minutes. 2 Weeks.

Two weeks ago I was praying to survive each minute. A week ago I was praying to survive each hour. Today I started praying to make it through the day. A day at a time, right? Two weeks ago I lost my job, and broke up with my boyfriend. I know the whole heartbreak thing is very "teenager" of me, but it hurt and It's taken some getting used to. Two weeks ago if you asked me what I was going to do I would have replied with an outburst of sobbing and my nose running. Today, if you asked me the same question I would actually be able to give you an answer. So you might be wondering how I am two weeks later from whole ordeal. I am doing OKAY. I am going to be just FINE. I don't question this, I know this. I've learned to take baby steps. The first thing great that has happened to me was a J-O-B. You heard me! I am the luckiest girl in the world to only have been unemployed for two weeks. What a blessing. This has given me something to look forward to and that's a step in the right direction. Am I a dramatic person? I can be. These weeks have been hard, but I'm surviving. God is so great, I am so blessed, and I know that I have a very bright future ahead (:

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

Exhaustion

It's been almost a year since I blogged and honestly I haven't felt the need to write as much since I was in high school. I look back at how consistent I was in my blogging and I really like the person I used to be. I tell people all the time that the prime of my life was when I was in high school.  My life now consists of being exhausted 100% of the time. Even though it's summer, I still find myself teaching summer school, collaborating with my new team, and then being a full-time graduate student at night. I should probably mention that my classroom is a disaster and those plans I had for the perfect pirate classroom are slowly fading as the hours go on. You hear people all the time talking about how their life isn't going according to plan and I am among those people. I never imagined that I would be 25 years old, going into my 5th year teaching, a graduate student at BYU, single, and as exhausted as I am. I hope you know that I don't use the word exhausted li

Facing Up

Facing up to things in life are sometimes the hardest. Facing up to being rude, to being sad, to being angry, gets harder each time. The older I get, the worse I get at facing up. I run way far away from everything and anything, and that, is a major flaw of mine. Today I stayed home from school, and took a day for myself. This day consisted of sleeping in, cleaning, and laughing my butt of while watching Friends. I went to church tonight, pretty much in my pajamas, and no makeup. We played human Battleship, and I loved every minute of it. On the way home Dylan and I laughed at the fact that manure and perfume do not mix well together(some people had fertilized their fields and it smelled way bad so we tried to cover up the smell with perfume). I feel bad for myself sometimes, but then I am reminded that things could be much worse. My aunt had a link to a blog on her blog, and I opened it, read it, and now I read it everyday. This strong and courageous woman named Stephanie and her husb
