Mission????

A lot of my friends are starting their mission papers or have their calls. I'm excited for them, but I feel a little left out. I am starting to think about a mission, but I am right in the middle of the nursing program and to be honest I'm scared of going on one:) There is a part of me that wants to go, and another part that really doesn't think I could do it....and I don't want to go in the middle of school. Is that bad? Is it selfish? I need some advice people!

School, life, update...

So I know that it has been forever since I last blogged, but not a lot of exciting things have happened lately. I started back to school and Nursing is going well. It's not exactly what I expected but I think it will get more challenging in the coming months. I have recently taken my moms role while she and my step dad have been out of town for their anniversary. Let me just say that I'm glad I don't have children yet lol! My mom comes home in two days and it will be nice to get back to normal. Friend wise I'm feeling a bit lonely lately. Not because I don't have great friends, I do! It's just for about two months now I have felt something missing and finally figured out what it is-a best friend! To go and do everything with. Now some may think I mean a boyfriend, which would be nice, but I'm not picky I would be happy with a really good friend guy or girl that would spend time with me whenever I was bored or lonely:) So anyone looking for a best friend just give me a call! Well I know that does not sound all that exciting but that's my life right now. I'll keep you updated:)

Wisconsin Take 2:)

So I just got back from my wonderful vacation to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where I visited my cousin Jen!  We had a lot of fun and I was actually able to relax and enjoy myself:) Here are a few pictures of the fun we had.  We went to a thing called Summer Fest where there are a lot of different bands playing and fun people to watch and of course great food:) One night that we were there I splurged and bought tickets to Kenney Chesney!  He was awesome and of course there were a ton of cute cowboys there:) We had BBQ's and hung out with Jen's group of friends.  It was a nice break from life back home:)

Nursing School...direction in life yay!!

Wow it has been a while and yes a lot of crazy things have happened in my life, but the most recent happy and exciting thing is....I got into the Nursing Program at UVU!!!  I am so glad!  I finally feel like things are coming together and pointing me in the right direction in life:)  I also just finished my physiology class on Wednesday and that felt so relieving!  Now it's like I don't know what to do with myself and all this free time:)  Don't worry I will fill it up fast lol!  I am leaving on a little get away as a present to myself for all of my hard work these last two years:)  I never do this for myself so I am excited!  I am flying out to spend some time with my cousin Jenny in Wisconsin on Tuesday!! I am excited!  I will take lots of pics and post them when I get back:)  I am just feeling so blessed right now!

So something kind of strange and unexpectant has happened to me over the last few days. I have come to realize that I don't mind being alone anymore. I mean yes, I love to go and do things with my family and friends sometimes....but I actually have grown to like "me" time:) yay! I never thought I would be ok with myself but I think it is coming slowly but surely!

It's been too long!

Hey everyone! Ok so I know it has been forever since I last posed anything. Sorry about that, my world has literally been turned upside down in ways I never imagined, but I'm hanging in there. So I have done some pretty fun traveling in the last few months and wanted to post some pictures on here. The first trip I took back in March over Spring Break to visit my cousin Jenny in Wisconsin! It was so much fun I love her and we had the best time together! We went fun places like the art and science museum, The Gig where her friend had a going away 80's party ( I loved getting all dressed up for that:) and then of course we had to try the famous fried cheese curds of Milwaukee! They were really good! Then I was super lucky about a month after returning from that trip my family got the chance to go to Maui, Hawaii! It was beautiful! I wish I could post all of the pictures I took but that would be like 200!! My aunt and uncle we so nice and let us go with them to there time share there and it was a much needed break from life! Somedays I still wish I was there:) We had so much fun in the sun! My cousins loved the sand, especially Olivia ( I love the picture of her playing). We also went snorkeling and I wished I had had an underwater camera the fish were so neat! Someday I want to go back there! So school is out now and it's a little weird being in between semesters but it's nice to have the free time. I have relearned how to crochet from my grandma and am currently working on a baby shawl that hopefully will be finished by the time I have my first! Good thing that is going to be awhile:) Oh and I almost forgot! I cut and colored my hair and I love it! I am going to keep it this dark for a while! Well I will keep you posted and more up to date on my crazy life:)

My 20th Birthday Party!

Hey so I finally have some fun pictures to post from my birthday party. It was actually a celebration of my brother kale's birthday too. He turned ten and I turned twenty! And yes I feel old! So we went down to Fairview where my aunt has a farm and up the mountain to a huge hill where we went skiing and sledding. It was a blast! Everyone made fun of me for how slow and cautious I was while skiing, but I think I am getting the hang of it:) Here are some of the pics...
