Three Days

Have you ever had one of those weeks that by Monday night you are wishing the week were over and done with, but next thing you know its only Wednesday, and it’s as if 3 weeks have gone by?? That is what it feels like right now for me. . . . . . .so many decisions to be made, so many people to help, and so little time to take it all in. I seriously wish with all my heart that no one would be hurting, money wasn't a constant issue, nothing unexpected never happened, and relationships were less complicated. That is not the case but every time you learn something new and are a stronger person through it all. Though while it’s happening, you can't realize the changes or impact you are having on someone.

Something very profound that stuck out to me while I was listening to a friend's homecoming in his talk he said "When life gives you lemons make lemonade, we have all heard that saying before but think about this, we all are given lemons but it is our choice what we make out of them, we can either let them rot, or we can choose to make them into something better and more than just lemons." I was just paraphrasing it and maybe its not even close to what he said but it has helped me survive this week. I just have to say that I am thankful for all those around me, for listening, giving me a hug or just asking simply how I am.

Changes and Experiences

Well here I go starting the blog. . . . . . .Lately I have had so much on my mind and these next 2 1/2 months are going to bring on a whirlwind of changes for me.
In 19 days my "lil" brother Kayden goes into the MTC for his mission to Argentina, he is one of my best friends!! We haven't ever been separated longer than 2 months!! I am only slightly traumatized by the fact that he will be gone in less than 3 weeks!!! Overall I am excited for him I know he'll be an excellent missionary! =) Also on the whole mission thing, nearly all my guy friends will be home within the next few weeks! I am so excited but also weirded out because it seems like just yesterday they were all leaving!! It brings back lots of memories from high school and my first year of college but that's for another post.

In roughly 40 days, I'll be moving in with my aunt and uncle temporarily between contracts at parkway and my new place at the Branbury. . . . I will be living with my aunt and uncle for about 3 weeks. They have all boys which is no big deal for me since I was basically raised with all brothers anyway, I have 3 younger ones. After that then I will move into the Branbury with Kristen and Monica, two of my best friends that I have met since I moved to Orem/Provo area. And then my 3rd roommate is Kristen's cousin Tally and I am excited to get to know her. I am beyond happy to be able to finally pick my roommates, it’s a new thing for me I usually just go for the random draw and hope it works out. . . . . . . . .but am beyond happy that I already know 2 out of my 3 roommates for in the fall!!

In about 63 days I am starting massage therapy school!!! I can't believe after 2+ years in college I am finally going to be done and in something completely different than I started out doing, though they are similar. . . . . . I started out in nursing and will graduate in May 2009 in massage therapy!! I can not even express how excited I am to finally be done with school and that there is an end in sight!! I know its going to be tough but I can do it!! So all you all better let me practice on you so I can be the best massage therapist ever!! Hopefully I don't have to twist too many arms ;)

I also had one of the most amazing experiences of my life last night, though I will not go into very much detail I will say this much I know that my Heavenly Father loves all of us so much, that the holy ghost is a key, and that the Church is true!!! I know it!!Well that is it for now, and now I am just going to wait and see what happens with everything that is going on in my life!!
