One Happy Girl :)

Can I just tell everyone how HAPPY I am!!!!!!! Man life is just so good to me right now!!! I don't remember the last time I was this happy. I have an optimistic nature, but lately I just feel like dancing and rejoicing all the time! Everything seems to be going great and I've just had this new confidence come over me. I finally feel like I fit in somewhere and the college life is finally going my way. Just thought I'd share that with everyone :) Hope everyone is enjoying there summer as much as I am mine! :)

Confession Time

So lately I've felt like I've ate a ton of humble pie. haha there's just been things I've had to admit to myself and have had to own up to. It's been good for me and has helped me realized a lot. I guess I'm starting to grow up.... I am almost 20 afterall :)

Anywho... one thing I realized this week is that hanging out with people from high school can be pretty fun! Never thought I'd say that. Not that I don't have friends still from high school, but last year I was just all for meeting new people and hanging out with people not from the valley. I just had this weird phase I guess :) I wanted something new! I hung out with a bunch a people from high school the other day and it was a blast! Not that I really hung out with any of them really in high school, but you just have this connection/bond from going to the same school and can look back on a lot of memories. It is so much more fun hanging out with them outside of the high school setting! People are getting back from their missions and I'm really excited for all the new change!

The other thing I decided is I'm actually excited to go back to my home ward's single ward and not the one up at the university. That's something I never thought I'd say either! It's hard driving 20 minutes to church to go out to Hyrum, but I think there will be a lot of cool people in it to make it fun and enjoyable!

Life is just funny lately because I had some people ask me the other day who I hang out with usually and I had no response. I have certain different groups I usually hang out with in rotation, but I really don't have friends I hang out with every time I get the chance. I like hanging out with lots of different people and meeting new friends. That is something that has definitely changed since I was in high school. I had a hard time adjusting to change. I guess that's something college has taught me. Now I can't plan anything longer than a month in advance because plans are always changing. It's kind of annoying but I can be a pretty spur-of-the-moment person. I guess it's nice that I'm flexible or life would be even more challenging than it already is!

Well it's funny how random life can be, but that's what's makes it interesting. I'm so excited for summer and all the adventures that will come with it! :)

Move, Move, Movin' On

WOW...!!!! Even though I didn't have finals this week like everyone else in Logan, this week has been so crazy busy! And it's only Wednesday....

So I moved out today from my apartment. That was sad because I've had a good semester with some fun roommates, but once again CHANGE IS INEVITABLE and it's time to move on. Instead of moving back home I had a slight change of plans suddenly. I moved into my aunt's apartment while she is in Hawaii to house-sit for her. I'm very excited to live by myself for a bit! I think it will be a great experience for me. I'll probably be there for a month and then I will move again back home. Don't worry that will have been 3 different moves in 5 MONTHS! I hate moving! Packing... unpacking... there is nothing fun about it! No wonder I have never moved until I started college ;) I guess it's preparing me for real life ;)

I have now been a hostess at Cafe Sabor for 1 YEAR now!! It's crazy. I have really fun people I work with and it's been able to work really well with my school. I wish I could serve, but I find it a blessing just to have a job. It is starting to get stressful though because all of the other hostesses are quitting besides me so it's a whole new system we have to figure out with all the newbies (yay me...) I'm trying hard to be a good trainer so I hope things go smoothly. All of the new girls seem to be pretty nice.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about what I'm gonna do after I graduate next spring and to be honest it's freaked me right out... I've had some serious anxiety about not knowing what will happen. I've calmed down a bit because I realize the Lord knows and is aware of my capabilities. He knows the desires of my heart and wants what's best for me. I don't know if I'm supposed to work, continue my schooling, get married, go on a mission, or even a few of those options. I've just learned lately it's not worth worrying about tomorrow because you miss out on today. Life is to be enjoyed and not dreaded. I'm so grateful that the Lord is there to help me in times of uncertainty. I swear I cannot plan my life more than a month in advance because things are constantly changing. I've always known what I've wanted to do with my life, but the Lord has gotten me to where I am in the way I was not expecting it to happen. I have definitely been blessed for it and it has helped prove to me things I thought weren't possible. Life can be very scary and grueling at times, but looking at life has a whole has so much more meaning to it. You see how trials and challenges shape you and strive for that person the Lord wants you to be. I feel like God is helping me to be more independent and has implanted that desire within me. He has helped me see things more through His eyes. I am so grateful for this gospel and His grace. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ, I am becoming a woman whom I hope is worthy of those eternal blessings and promises. I cannot wait till I am able to step through those temple doors and to sit in the Celestial Room. How great will be my joy!

Well.... until next time. Peace and Love :)
