Fall Break

I can hardly believe that I only have about 6 weeks of school left! And then I'm done!!!!!! For now ;)
This semester so far has been crazy! I don't know when I've been busier! The time flies by so quickly! On Harvest day (October 31st- and I don't know why I do it on this day, I just always do) I always take a step back and realize that another whole year has past! So much as happened! I feel completely different!
Then I think about how in a year from now I have absolutely NO idea what I will be doing! Or where my family will be for that matter! So far we haven't had anyone come and look at the house - which I am very grateful for. Moving just doesn't feel right- yet! All though I do feel that something in my family's life needs to, or is going to change, besides my leaving. Life is crazy but good! I am finding that what is most difficult is to take note of and appreciate every single moment! But, doing that brings so much happiness! Don't forget to keep smiling!

3 of them

I took a picture of 3 things on my wall that are 3 of the (many) goals I have in my life. Nauvoo Performance Mission, BYU and being on the International Folk Dance Ensemble! I am very excited to see where life goes from here!

 

Summer is gone... Again

I definitely have not done well at writing! Or at putting pictures on here! But I promise this semester that I will be better! This Summer was crazy and it has gone by the quickest than any other Summer I remember. The last month and a half before school I ended up getting a second job, which was an answer to prayer, but I admit that it was hard on me working 13 hour days 6 days a week!!!  It was a good experience though. Then Garrett, my mom and I went to BYU education week, that was wonderful as always! And now it's back to teaching and doing my own school. It's been good but tiring. It's amazing how much homework is assigned the first two weeks of school!
I LOVE teaching musical theater! It has been so enjoyable for me to combine the three things I love, dance, singing and acting! I am SO blessed! I think the theme for me this last year and this coming year has been Gratitude! I have so much to be thankful to my Heavenly Father for! I hope everyone is doing well! Always remember to keep smiling!

This is a quick post but I wanted to catch up on a few things. I got a job at Snow College painting the dorms! It has been good, even fun, but I'm really sore! Who knew that's what painting would do to you!
Trying to finish everything up for our dance/musical theater recital on the 19th! So excited!
I got all my grades back and got all A's (two were A-, but I'm not complaining). I'm not sure how that happened because I was really struggling in two of my classes especially, but it just reminds me that the Lord has a plan for my life, probably different from my own plan, and that I just need to trust and follow him! That brings me so much peace and happiness!
It's my parent's anniversary today so they went up north! Therefore dearest Emma is wanting me to finish this so we can go to McDonalds for dinner. Not the healthiest choice but it's become a tradition that whenever my Mom and Dad go somewhere for their anniversary we go to McDonalds. Someday maybe we'll think of a better tradition ;o)
Well, things are good though I very, very tired! It's been good to stay busy!
Hope everyone is doing great! Remember to always have a smile and a prayer! What a great time to be alive and serving the Lord!

Finished with Finals!!!!!

Well just finished all my finals! I'm just grateful that they're done and I don't really want to know what my grades are ;o)
It has been a good semester! Filled with stress but a lot of fun. This is a very bitter sweet feeling! Won't miss the homework but will REALLY miss my classes and all of my friends that are graduating!
I probably won't get to write much during the Summer, not that I wrote a lot during this last semester. ;)
I applied for a Summer job at Snow College but haven't heard back yet. We'll see what the next few months bring, but I am excited for next semester!
Hope everyone has a fantastic Summer! Keep Smiling!!!!
Love McKall

Hello again

It's been awhile. Well, thinks are going good, but I am anxious for school to be over. Actually I'm anxious for homework to be over. I'm enjoying my classes and I'll be sad when they're over. I have a lot of great friends I am going to miss seeing.
Time has gone by so fast this semester!!! Today it's really warm and I LOVE IT!!!
General Conference was wonderful! I decided that I am in missionary mode because I mentioned to my mom about all the wonderful talks about missionary work and she said "I don't remember there being a lot of talks about missionary work." I guess you hear what you are thinking a lot about. I can't wait for a mission! If the Lord has other plans for me than serving a full time mission, I will be happy with that but I want to go on a mission very badly!!!! I do know how I am going to be able to wait a year!
I hope everyone is having a terrific April! Things are great here in lil'ol Manti! ;o)
Remember to keep smiling!!!

Hooray for Spring Break!

Howdy everyone! Well I just have two more classes to go (tomorrow) before my spring 'break' officially starts! I am very grateful for the week long break!!! I need some time to re-focus myself!
My birthday went terrific and I couldn't ask for better family and friends! My favorite present was from my parents. It was a beautiful white temple dress that I had mentioned to my mother when I saw it that it was a dress that I would like when I go through the temple. Now it is something to always remind me of my goal and what I want to do most! I am anxiously preparing for that day and can hardly wait!!!
Though spring break will be a break from school I'll still have dance and teaching. But those are the funner things anyway! I am LOVING Musical Theater and am so thankful that I felt that the Lord was okay with me doing it again!
Well, better go. Hope everyone is having a wonderful March 1st! I have a lot to do this month but I'm excited, mostly ;o) Ta Ta for now!
