Hmm...

Well I am stuck at the library with no math book, no french book, no music to choreograph and no piano to practice for almost a whole hour! Hmm.. Your probably wondering how this miracle happened right. ;o) Well, I had a 'wonderful' math test (that I feel actually went alright, but we'll see) and so my mother took home everything but my pencil, calculator, photo I.D. and my allowed note card. I ended up being done with my test quite a bit earlier than anticipated and my dad isn't leaving till 5 (pm) so I've been here since 4:20 (pm) looking at majors and minors at BYU and other things. I feel a little stressed that I'm not home doing the long list of things that REALLY need to be done, but on the other hand it's kinda nice to be able to relax for a little while because there is no way I can do the things I'm supposed to right now. Ever had that feeling of being torn, because you know there's things to be doing but glad for the excuse not to be doing it. Hmm, seems completely opposite. ;o)
Things seem to be going well right now. Even though I am so behind on pretty much everything, except math, and that has never happened before in my entire life (ask my mom)!
This last weekend we had Stake Conference and Elder Zwick of the Seventy came and gave a fireside at the institute! It all was wonderful and very much what I needed! I'm going to work on some little things in my life that I think will make some very big changes! It's amazing how the Lord works that way "It is by small and simple things that great things are brought to pass."
It's something that I am learning one step at a time I guess, even though the steps are tiny.
I hope everyone is doing great! And to close I'll quote from a great teacher:
"Have a great day, and whatever else you do don't forget the gospel is true!"
P.S. I bet you know who that is.

I LOVE my family!!!

My family is the best! When I'm discouraged, and I am sure not the most splendid to be around, instead of getting annoyed with me they find ways to make me feel better!
I'm also so grateful to them for helping me by picking up the slack of the things I am supposed to do at home, but somehow don't get done because I'm gone so much.
My family is one of the most important things in my life! Only coming after Jesus Christ, my Heavenly Father and the gospel. Without these three things I wouldn't have my eternal family.
I am blessed so much! I hope everyone has a wonderful day today!!!

;o)

Ever been so overwhelmed that you feel like you are going to be squished? It's funny how you can have a really good day, but then the next day you feel like you can't handle life anymore! I can't tell you how much I enjoy those kind of days! Not really.
I have no idea what I am going to do for my girls in my dance classes today, not that that's new.
Oh well! One of my favorite lines from Pride and Prejudice is "Well, what do we live for, but to make sport for our neighbors and laugh at them in our turn." So true! Have a wonderful cheery day!!

Back to life

Well, we're back to school and everything else again. It hasn't been too bad, but I really wish the break had been longer! My schedule has been slightly less rushed but I am still always tired! ;o) Not sure that will ever change though ;o)
I've been able to be with my family a little bit more than last semester I think, but it would be nice if I had even more time at home.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic week! Always remember to SMILE!!!

Come what may and love it!

Well, 2011 has arrived! It's hard to believe how fast time flies!!! I hope this new year is filled with happiness. I am reminded of the talk Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin gave in General Conference a few years ago. 'Find joy in the journey, and come what may and love it.' What better New Years resolutions could we have?! I am so grateful for everything I have learned in 2010. So much has happened and changed. Things will never be the same for anyone again. We can't go back and really, even if we could we wouldn't want to because we know we couldn't truly be happy. If there is anything I know that I should try harder to do, it's to find joy in my own personal journey and adventure now. Life really is an adventure! Most of the time when we hear the word adventure we think of excitement, so why should life be any different. Life is as good and as happy as you make it. "Come what may and love it!" I don't think it could be said any better! Happy New Year everyone. The Lord has great things in store for every single one of us, and it is only up to us whether we will except them or not. He can mold us to become amazing tools in His hands when we choose to allow it.
May this year be the best year so far! Love you!
