Weekend Full of Surprises.

Well, it's me again.
What a weekend I had.
Let's start with Thursday.

Thursday I was invited to go to dinner up in Park City by a dear family I know from back home. They are the sweetest people. We ate at Chimayo and it was super Yummy. Here is a picture of me with Faith and Andrew.

Friday was pretty normal. I babysat Lexi in the morning and then got my hair done after. I did the blonde ombre. I was shocked at first but now I love it. 



Saturday is where things get good. Here was my plan for the day. Wake up, go to the testing center and take my math test, go babysit the Wakley girls, come home, do homework. Pretty basic, right? Life had a different plan. This might be too much info, but once a month I get awful cramps (please put two and two together on this one). It just so happened that Saturday morning mother nature decided to visit and give me the worst cramps I have EVER had. They were to the point where I felt like I was going to faint because of all the pain. I decided to try and hike up to campus anyways. I made it about a block and had to sit on the pavement to keep myself from fainting. After much thought (sitting on the pavement) I decided there was no way I could physically make it up to campus. I turned around and barely made it in my apartment before falling on the floor. Exciting, huh? I was hurting so bad I took a bath in the tub (NEVER have I EVER done that because it is so nasty, that's how desperate I was). So while in the bathtub I text my neighbor, Rachel. I told her to find me some boys who could give me a blessing. After I got dressed I had them come over and they gave me the most wonderful priesthood blessing. I instantly felt calmer and could feel my pain slowly going away. I said a prayer of thanks to Heavenly Father for allowing me to feel better. I was so grateful for those boys who early on a Saturday were kind enough to come to my aid. So next on my list was babysitting. I drive all the way there in my sweat pants, hair up, and flip flops expecting to dye easter eggs with the girls. I get there, open the door and hear, "SURPRISE!" My amazing aunts and cousins had thrown me a surprise birthday party. I felt so loved, and so grateful that I was feeling better! We had yummy food and I got to spend quality time with the girls in my family. How lucky/grateful/thankful/loved am I! 


Sunday was Easter. I went to church and then to my grandmas that evening for dinner with everyone. I love Easter. It's my favorite holiday. It's the one day where a more-than-average-amount of people celebrate Jesus Christ. What an amazing day. I am so grateful that He is Risen and that I live today because of him and  his atonement.



I missed being home. Here is a picture of my parents after church Sunday.
Overall I had a good weekend. I am so lucky and I am so blessed.

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...

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...

Be strong and of a good courage

Today as I was referred to as a teacher by an underclassmen I realized how fast my life is flying by. It's like one day I was learning to tie my shoes and then all the sudden I'm almost a legal adult. I admit, I have not been the happiest camper lately, and honestly I have no good reason why. I found myself getting lost in the negative when I should have just looked around and seen the beauty in the world around me. I know I was put on this earth for a purpose. God knows what he's doing. I may not know how to solve a pre -calculus problem, I may not be good at any sport, I may not have the greatest eyes or the best body, but I am content with the way I am. I have a true heart and a sincere love for all the people I meet. I can make you laugh, even if I'm not feeling great. I can sing the "If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay. Quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown away. No one likes a frowny face, change it for a smile. Make the world a bet...
