People......

So right now I am sitting in my room listening to music, and really just thinking about life. I don't know how many people actually read this, but I am just writing to write. I was just thinking about how people come into your life, and then all of a sudden they are gone. You can't quite figure out if you miss them, or if you are glad they are gone. Life takes you for twists and turns that you never expect. This is for all those people that have come and gone in my life. Everyone who has come and gone has made an impact on my life, and has made me who I am today in some way. I feel like I have so much growing to do still, and that I learn something new everyday. I believe that everything really does happen for a reason. I am grateful for every person I have met that have made me realize that I can continue to learn and become better. This is for those friendships that you never thought you would lose. There is one that you will never lose though and that is the Savior. He is my hero, friend, and older brother. I know where I am going, and my path is clear when I follow his example. If only we were all perfect like him, then maybe we could all get along no matter what our differences. Thank you to those people that have always been there for me no matter what..:) I am eternally grateful to those friends and family members who have always been near at all times. Life is precious, and don't waste a minute of it. Life is to be enjoyed so that makes me grateful that people either come into my life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime!!!

Lifes Happenings

So the summer has been flying by, and sometimes I wonder how time goes by so fast. This summer has been a great adventure. I have been gone every weekend for the past 2 weekends. I went to Lake Powell, and now I am in Idaho enjoying the adventure. It has been a lot of fun here. I came here with my boyfriend Jake to visit his family. They are getting ready for his family reunion so things have been pretty busy for them around here. I have allergies like crazy and I wish they would go away. It is so pretty where they live. It feels like I am on a mini farm. Jake is great and I am so glad to have met him. We will see where life goes from here. I am enjoying working as an RN at Provo Rehab and Nursing. It feels so good to be done with school for now. I am debating on the whole masters degree thing, and I should probably do it sooner then later. Life brings us wonderous things when we least expect it. Thats all for now...Just thought I should update my blog on the happenings of life! Life is good:) and I am blessed with so many things in my life.

Catching the Bouquet...gift or a curse

I caught the bouquet at my friend Amanda's wedding reception last night. I have caught two other bouquets at other wedding receptions also. When I caught one of the bouquets the pins from it stabbed my finger and it started bleeding like crazy. If you can't say that shows bad luck. ha ha ha...I thought it was kind of funny anyways. Everyone says the classic "Oh your the next one to get married," but that is false. My conclusion is that every time you catch the bouquet at a wedding it adds another couple of years to when you will actually get married. So my new goal is to catch as many bouquets as I can because they are not only very pretty, but I would like to increase the years of my single life...Anyways life is good...I have an interview for an RN position this Friday. I really hope to get it...Wish me luck:)

Life

"Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days when I was six and my biggest problem was what kind of dress to put on my Barbie's or whether or not I had enough Lego's to build a fort."

DREAMS COME TRUE!!

So these are some of the pics that Jacqui took of me for her photography class! I thought the pic's turned out great! She is an amazing photographer:) I look angry but trust me I am really not...

So anyways LIFE IS GOOD!!
I am graduating in two weeks with my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing! I can't believe that it is finally coming! I am really scared to see where life's next adventure is going to take me..
but I have faith that all will turn out how it is supposed to..
I am moving on to the next chapter of my life, and I AM NERVOUS!!!!
I have to pass this exam after school called the N-CLEX. After I pass it the 1ST time
I will be an official RN!
College is almost over....oh my HECK!
Then I just have to find a place that will hire me. I really want to work in a hospital, but I have this feeling that my first job will be in a nursing home...I just need a job, because I need the experience and money! I will work for whomever wants to hire me. I just need to quit stressing about this whole job situation. So everyone wish me luck in passing the N-CLEX then finding a job. I am just gonna keep life positive.

So I am so excited because in two weeks I will be living with 2 of my best friends in Provo. We are going to have so much fun! I am so excited. Me and friend Kira have been talking about being roommies since we were in middle school. Our dream of being roommies is really coming true. DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
I am just surprised that me and my best bud's are still all not married, and that this dream can come true of living together. Thank heavens that I am just anti-boy, and that Danielle and Kira went on missions so they didn't have a chance of getting married. ha ha ha....So girls keep holding out for me, because you can't get married yet. We need to have lots of adventures together:)
But that's all I have to say about that...I will be a college graduate very soon....Life is too short...live it UP!

My realizations

So I have had some realizations over the past couple of months.....

One is that many times things happen in our life and we don't realize why tell later, so we just have to put trust in the Lord and keep moving forward...

You will have people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime...I truely believe this because there are people that have come into my life that I never thought would leave it, but then I realize that they came into my life for a reason because I learned a valuable lesson. Sometimes people come into your life for a season because you needed them at that moment in time, and they made your life easier or they helped you get through a hard time. Then there are the people that come into your life for a lifetime, and that will stay with you through the thick and thin, and the people that will forgive you no matter what..I think these are the people that are sent to you to be your angels here on earth.

These people in my life are my FAMILY!

My Friends!

Another realization I had is that many times I sit there and I think about the bad things that have happened to me, but I fail to see the blessings that come along with the bad things that happen to me. For example yesterday I was traveling from Cedar to my parents house in Cedar Hills. Well I was traveling in an awful snowstorm and it was so scary!

While I was going through Nephi, and this trailor swerved in front of me, so instead of hitting the trailor I swerved to the side and went off the road into the median!

I thought I was for sure going to go into oncoming traffic but my car stopped.

I sat there terrified, but felt so lucky I didn't hit any other cars. My car did ended up getting stuck so I had to get pulled out by a tow truck which wasn't free! It cost me $60 dollars.

I also had this cop come up to me right after if happened, and he said I had been traveling too fast in this weather, because he was watching me. He didn't even ask if I was okay! He instead just gave me a ticket for improper lane travel! I was pissed! I didn't even travel into another lane!

It was either hit the trailor in front of me or swerve off the road.

I also remember having the prompting to get off at the first exit in Nephi, but I ignored it and thought instead I should probably try to hurry and get home before the weather gets worse! If only I would have listened I probably would have never been in this mess!

Here I was so scared and sitting there in my car. I almost felt like if I got back on the road I was going to die. I wanted to stop and not even attempt to make it home. I think that is how it is many times in life! We just want to give up when we are so close to accomplishing a goal or if life just gets to hard. But we can't! I want to make it home one day again to my Heavenly Father and I can't give up on that!

I like to think of my savior and all the hard things that he has gone through for me! He never once gave up and neither will I! Alot worse things could have happened to me when I went off the road, but they didn't and I am OK! It was scary but instead of gripeing about the money I lost from the tow and the ticket I should realize that I still have my life, and that I didn't get harmed, and my car is ok. Life is good, and I am going to live it to the fullest! I am thankful for the gospel even though at times I take it for granted! I am glad that I know where I come from, and where I am going!

I am going to lift my head a little taller, and realize that I can do this! We can all do this adventure we call life together:)

THROW IT IN A BAG!! This is a birthday shout out for Kirita and her 23rd year!

Kira you are gorgeous and don't you ever forget it! I know this birthday shoutout is a little bit late but I didn't have access to the internet on your birthday. I just want you to know how amazing and talented you are. You have such a kind and loving personality that no one can resist. Your laugh is contagious and makes everyone else want to laugh. You are always there for me whenever I need you. Thank you for all the hard times that you have helped me through. Thank you for being one of the very best friends! I am so glad to have met you when we were in middle school. Thank you for your example to all of us in the way we should live our lives, and how we can truly follow the gospel. There is a light in your eyes that draws people in. Whenever I need a good laugh here Kira comes to make me laugh harder then I thought I could. Her smile is amazing and she is one of the prettiest girls I know. She is really my sister from another mister! She has a talent for being creative, and I would hire her to decorate my house when I have one some day. She is a strong leader. If you ever need a friend go to Kira, because she never turns anyone down! Kirita these are some of the things that I love about you, even though there is so much more. I am blessed to have you as a friend. Thank you for your strength. I love you so much.....so lets celebrate this year and make it the best. Miss you!
