Almost There!

ok I have been so busy lately, Im sad but not suprised that its been so long since I have updated! but so school is almost done, I cant believe it!  I have already done a whole year of college!  Its crazy, sometimes I still feel like the same person than I was when I graduated, but then I realize that I have grown so much this last year.  Our house is almost done so we will be moving soon, and I have moved to a University singles ward and it is great fun.  I have been making so many new friends, but I still hang out with my high school ones...at least until they all leave me for BYU and missions (missions I can live with, but why BYU?!?!).

But the other night I went on a date with my friend Josh and we had so much fun. Here are a couple pictures of us being totally goofy:

By the way, we went bowling...ha!  well im out for now! forgive me if my layout keeps changing, Im not satified with it right now so Im going to keep playing with it.  If you have any suggestions and ideas let me know!

Ugggg

Wow I am getting pretty terrible at updating! I get on and am all, wow its been a whole month already? hahaha...so basically life is same old, but differnt at the same time.  I know, Im crazy.  School, as usual, is hard and has been driving me up the wall for the past couple weeks so Im so incredibly happy that it is Spring Break right now.  One of the only downsides to this is that now i get incredibly bored cuz for the past like 2 days i have had nothing to do....well besides the little odds and ends.  For real, I went through my phone book at least 3 times today looking for someone to play with me but what do I come up with? Nothing, as in zilch, zip and nada.  But okay...I think I got all of rant out.  I donno if you feel better, but I do. :)

So really there isnt that much new around here, though I did host another mac and cheese party with a better turn out this time!  It was so much fun, my new friends from my ward are awesome!

So bascially all is well here in Ol' Mesa, the house is going good, Mom and Dad are going strong, and me and Jeff are just trying to make our ways through life. :) Oh happy days.

Update-ness

wow, im sorry people.  Life has been so crazy lately i havent even had time to breathe.  Honestly.  Its like bascially, my profs are all "lets all have tests, quizes and reports!" so naturally I have been suffering from severe bouts of stress in the forms of psyc outs, hair twirling, and  super fast talking.  But im doing better now. Ive been taking on the attitude of what happens, happens as long as i try my best.

Its kinda funny really though, because I feel calm at the same time.  Over this past year I have been growing so much, 'specially spiritually, and I feel like I have been prepared for this trial.  I have leaned on the Lord SO much, and am loving every bit of it.  Really, try this some time: as i drive to school I've been listing to LDS books and talks that I wouldnt normally take the time to read and its been helping me see the big picture.  Its like turning your car into a personal inspiration center! its awesome!

okay...off my hi now...:) well, honestly thats all thats been going on.  School, Hw, church, sleep...etc.  But hey, its life...ya know?

This was  my mac and cheese party with my friend Jeff...

We made FOUR differnt kinds and they were so good!

Life

So, once again I havent written in awhile.  This blog is supposed to be of my musings, but obviously my muse has gone on vacation, or maybe she hiding from me because school has started yet again.

Dont get me wrong, I love learning and meeting people etc, but I hate the stress.  I mean I know that life is going to be full of plenty of opportutunites to stress out, but I feel that with school it is one continuous round and that there is bascially nothing you can do about it. *sigh* wow I am really going off today....

Okay we are going to leave that subject now. I've moved to one of the University singles wards, not becasue I wanna get married, but jsut cuz I wanna meet more people.  Its hard to get to know people when the only times you see them is inbetween classes once a week (if that). So its been fun and hard to be out going at times, but I think I have been succeeding.

Oh yeah! I totally finished my quilt and it looks awesome! :) I am so proud of myself.  But still, I wanna thank my mom for helping me in every aspect of it, Emily for helping pick the colors out, and my aunt for giving me great tips! :D 

(oh yeah, I had an amazing "tea" party with my friends the other day...)

New Year?

Wow! I can't believe that I havent posted at all this new year!  Its crazy!  Basically though, I havent been doing much.  Just hanging out with my friends and trying to finish my quilt that has been taking FOREVER! :) But when it is done, which it almost is, it is going to be awesome!

(Me and Amy "hideing out")

(Just working on tieing the quilt)

"Sew" basically thats pretty much my life up until now.  School starts on Tuesday...oh joy....actually though I am happy that I will have a schedule in my life, but I dont like the stress.

OOOO! Yesterday I got to sing in the choir for Elder Bednar who came and had an AWESOME 'Q and A' fireside with the YSA of the East Valley.  Needless to say, I am always goin to cherish and remember that night and what I learned. :)

Boys

So here is a poem I've been trying forever to find.  Basically its awesome so just read on:

A heart is not a plaything, a heart is not a toy,

But if you want it broken, just give it to a boy.

Boys, they like to play with things to see what makes them run,

But when it comes to kissing, they do it just for fun.

Boys never give their hearts away; they play us girls for fools,

They wait until we give our hearts and then they play it cool.

You'll wonder where he is at night; you'll wonder if he's true.

One moment you'll be happy; one moment you'll be blue.

If you get a chance to see him, your heart begins to dance.

Your life revolves around him-there's nothing like romance.

And then it starts to happen: you worry day and night.

You see, my friend, you're losing him, it never turns out right.

Boys are great, though immature; the price you pay is high.

he may seem sweet and gorgeous, but remember, he's a guy.

Don't fall in love with just a boy; that takes a lot of nerve.

You see, my friend, you need a man to get what you deserve.

So when you think that you're in love, be careful if you can,

Before you give your heart away, make sure that he's a man.

Christmas

okay, okay, so its been like forever since I last posted but alot has been going on.  Andrew, Amanda and Lily have been here and have been so much fun (though 'specially Lily(sorry Amandrew!))

I have had a wonderful Christmas, though we had quiet a scare with our dog Abby.  Though the jury is still out, she has contracted at what seems like a tumor that is likey going to kill her soon.  Its kinda hard to talk about cuz its not like she is my baby or anything, its just that we've had her forever, and its going to be hard to let her go.

So my christmas has been great.  I gave and got much, and have been able to see lots of friends and family.  What more could I ask for?
