Catching Up

Okay, so it has been about a hundred years since I have blogged...So here is catching up time!
I work at the temple every Saturday night now. It's the most amazing thing ever. I really really do love it. The temple is truly the most wonderful place on the earth. It's the true happiest place on earth, not disney, they just tell you that so you spend more money when you go to their theme park. But really, the temple is just wonderful.
School is going well, it's getting a little boring, I mean I could care less about all of the things we are learning in astronomy, who really cares how erasthosthense discovered that the sun has solisticies...like really, who cares? And then on top of that it's a warm, dark classroom, and we have to recline back in our chairs to look at the ceiling which is where the lectures slides are. So I have a hard time with that. And ethics, well needless to say, I took that class already, and my professor was evil, and actually never even gave me a grade...long story, but suffice it to say I am a touch bitter about it. So before even starting the class I didn't like it. It's a different teacher this time, but he is boring, and class is boring. But I know I need to go. Human Resources is a good class, but I really have been struggling with actually attending my classes this semester. Partially because they are boring, and partially because I would so much rather be spending my time with a certain cute boy I know...
Speaking of cute boys, let me tell you about James. He is great :) He came over to my apartment to visit Megan at the first of January, we were having a "bitter against boys" night, and James came over and visited with us. I thought he was cute, so I told Megan and she gave him number and told him to call me. The next day he texted me, and we never stopped talking after that. All day everyday we are texting, and when we are not at work or school we are together. We really have been spending all of our time together, and I absolutly love it! He is such a wonderful person, all the way through. I love him :) Anyways, I know how much fun it is to read sappy blogs about the wonderful guys in other peoples lives, but I just feel everyone needs to know how super awesome James is. He really is just so great! He is so sweet and considerate, smart, and kind, and he is so intelligent, yet still goofy :) he is wonderful!
Megan works with me now, and it's pretty exciting really. I was so glad I could help her find a job, I tried several times, and it never worked, so I am really glad that this time it did. she is good at it too, all the guys love her, I can tell. And that makes me happy. Although I now have to hire an assistant for me...I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean I know it's cool because I am 21 and have my own office and soon an assistant, but it's still kind of strange to me that I would be someone's boss. I'm just not sure I feel old enough to do that...but it's good I guess.
Anyways, I have to go get changed and ready to go to the temple, but that's the basic update of my life right now. I live a great life, with wonderful friends and the most amazing set of people. I am one of the most blessed people ever, and I love my life!

Long time no see

So it has been a while since I have blogged, mostly because my computer crashed just after the last one. I set it down and then when I got back, it was gone. Almost all of the information was lost and it took a month to have it rebuilt! but it's back, and I am so glad. I did really well last semester. I got two A's a B and a D...... Biology is basically sucky. But that's okay, I am totaly fine with it. This semester is going really well so far, I love it. Although one of my professors is in china...... anyways.
Mike is in Korea! I found the pies he wanted and make him some stationary for christmas, I was pretty excited for it. And now he is officially in korea! and i am so excited for him. Poor Eric, after his last car wreck he was a little bitter, and then a few days ago, he took me down to a store in springville because I wanted to go, and he got rearended again! Sad story. I felt so bad for him. Alex is a dumbie head. End of story. Mom has facebook! it is so cool! I spent new years at Linda's, I love her. Christmas was so great with my family. Josh was even there, kind of a miracle. It was so great! well ,I have about a hundred things to do, so have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

So, of course today is thanksgiving, and I must say, no matter how cliche it really is, I am so thankful for all that I have! I have so much, and there are always more blessings coming to me.
I mean I have the best roommates ever! We all have so much fun all of the time, it makes life just so much better all the time. I have the coolest best friend in the world! And the best family ever, I know everyone thinks they have the coolest family ever, well I hate to break it to you, but mine really is cooler than yours ;) And of course now I have an amazing boyfriend whom I truly enjoy spending time with. I just am always given so many wonderful and great things.
I got another letter from mike, and I just love seeing the korean he is learning! It's so cool, all gibberish to me, but cool never the less! anyways, this will be short because I don't feel like typing, but just know that I am so grateful for all that I have. And you should be too.

Mini Vaca!

So I went to Park City this weekend with my family. It was alot of fun, I really enjoyed myself. We got alot of shopping done, and went to this amazing steak house and then went shopping again, and then we came home :) It was really good to get to see my cousins and uncle again, they are all growing up. All be it not so much the way I would have thought, but they are. Sometimes it is so weird for me to see how differently they were raised. I mean we came from the same family, my mom and their dad are siblings, but it is just completely different. I got the cutest cream colored coat, for only $25! Shirts for .99 cents jeans for $10, it was amazing! I also got this really pretty blue sweater, I love it! it's a good color for sure!
We went to wendy's on our way out of town, and for some reason I just decided that a chicken sandwhich sounded good, and normally I don't like them. But oh my heavens!! I loved it! Spicy chicken sandwhich, if you've never had one, you need to! They are my new favorite thing. thriving ivory and chicken sandwhiches, who could ask for more?
Tor got a chance to really see my family in their element and she had a great time, I love being able to show my family to someone I care about, and for them to actually get to see it. It was just great!
I got another letter from Mike, and it made me cry this time. I love reading letters from missionaries! They are so uplifting and so spiritual, it makes me so happy! But what he said was something I had been struggling with, and wondering about alot. and he answered me before I even had a chance to ask him. That is the hand of God in our lives right there. I have seen it so much lately, it such obvious ways! I feel so blessed to be able to see so many great and wonderful things happening in my life. I really can't even tell you how happy i am to have the gospel, I don't know how I would function without it, because it really is just who I am. it such an amazing thing we have, this church, and I am so glad I have the chance to know about it!

It's like going shopping!

So it's been a while since I have written anything on here, so i shall update it!
I am having the best time with my apartment! We have the best assortment of roommates any one could ask for. They are all so amazing.
Whitney is amazing, she is so spiritually strong and loving, and the most fun ever! She is the most popular ;)
Megan is so intelligent, she is just wonderful and fun to be around.
Torie is of course my best friend, and who could ask for a better one really?
And of course Lindsey, our honorary roommate! We all love her so, and she is so amazingly talented at everything she does!
We have so much fun together, this shall be a time in my life that I know i will always look back on and smile,and some day when I am told and gray, I will be telling about the time we all went to bombay house and watched dr horrible, and my children will always think I am crazy :)
I got a blessing the other night from Brother Godfrey in my bishopric, and it was so amazing! It was just what I needed, and it really helped me alot. It seems that whenever things get hard for me I am always given that little boost that will help me to keep going, even when I don't think I can anymore.
We went to bombay house the other night for snooty foods, it was alot of fun, and really yummy, we had fun. We then went and saw mama mia, which was two hours of my life that I shall never get back unfortunatly. But the next night we watched Dr Horrible, the funniest movie ever! I loved it, really, watch it for sure! "The world is a mess, and I just need to rule it"
All in all, life is good, trials are around all the time, and somedays it's worse than others, but it is never too much. It gets hard, but it's all so much more than worth it in the end. I may not understand many things, nor could I explain most things, but why and what may not be the most important questions in your life. "There will be times in your life when you want to be sad, it is at those times when you can either fall or keep going on with what you have been told and what you know that will decide the rest of your life and your eternity" Who are you and what do you want out of life, maybe think about :)

Conundrum

Isn't that an interesting word? I like it. I remember the first time I ever heard it I was a freshmen in high school and my algebra teacher told us he had daily conundrums for us, and of course because we were all about 14 we had no idea what he was talking about. Anyways, that's enough of that pointless less than funny story ;)
I got new glasses yesterday, which is pretty exciting really. Because now I can actually see. They are a much stronger prescription so my eyes are having a hard time adjusting, but they are still nice. I can't help but wonder if this is how well everyone sees all the time.... it's really quite cool. Everything looks so much better. I mean I could always see before, but now it is all so much sharper and better!
We went to a corn maze this week, myself, Eric, Tor, Mike and Justin. It was a lot of fun. We were going to go to the haunted one, but it wasn't open yet, so we just went to the regular one. Actually there were two. And it was officially alot of fun :) We wondered in the corn and rode on slides made out of construction materials and played around on little go kart type things, I had a good time.
Mike is leaving on Wednesday. It is so close already I can't even believe it! Off to korea for two years! what a wonderful and cool adventure he will have! Korea is lucky to have him! We went and ate at a Korean restaurant, and it wasn't too bad, not my favorite by any means, but edible never the less. Tor is a bit sad, which is to be expected, but she is excited for him as well. And so am I! I can't wait to get a letter from him in Korean!!! Not that I would ever be able to read it, but still!
I went to the mall the other day with Eric, and we spent almost 6 hours there, doing absolutly nothing! It is definatly a record for me. I couldn't believe it. It was fun, but completely insane at the same time. I haven't spent that much time in the mall since I was like 12!
It's almost my birthday!! I will be 21 on the 1st. I am kind of really excited, although I doubt if i will actually have a party.... probably just cake and ice cream with my family, and of course Tor and Eric, mike will be gone already. But i am really not so in to planning parties for myself. For one, not quite sure who to invite, i know lots of people, but I am okay with only a few people to play and hang around with.
Anyhow, life is still good :) we had a party in our apartment the other night, lots of fun!
That's all folks!
