A Thing Called Love

So since I haven't written on here for over a year now I decided it is time for a change, starting off with this joyous season of love that is only a few days away.  I actually love valentines day's not because of the obvious reasons ether. I think it is the funnest thing ever to show love for those who are in my life and who have given so much. Some awesome people who have became a huge part of my life in the past year. It was hard saying goodbye to many friends in logan after finishing up the semester there at utah state. I have really missed them and exciting life events happening with them there but it has been a good move back to orem for me. I have been able to spend more time with my family and get ready for my classes in the fall back at uvu. I was able to find some really great jobs and start over again here in a new apartment with roommates I have never met and it has been great to get to know them and have fun hanging out with them so far. We all have changed quite a bit in the last few months since we have been here and it is fun to get involved in the ward with new and wonderful people. Here are a few of the fun pictures I have taken I hope you enjoy and I'll keep you updated soon again.

Lifes great adventures

This Semester of School has brought to me so many life lessons and experiences and It continues to go on:) I Just completed all my mid term projects and it feels great to have done so and bring up my grades a bit along with it. I am super excited to finish out this semester and onto new classes next semester. I am in a really good place in my life right now and I look forward to continue with my goals and desires for this school year. I have been working hard and helping serve around me. Although I wish to continue with more volunteer with others around me in my life, as well as becoming more intune with the spirit to continue with my bucket list of getting out of debt with student loans and going more towards my major and responsibilities with classes. I'm so so close and I can almost taste it. I am excited for new challenges and new adventures as well. So stay tuned as I do more blogging with more pictures to come all right.

Hey Y'all I know I haven't been up to date so well with the blogging scene if there is anybody who actually reads it anywho. This new semester up at utah state has been a crazy one for me. a few reasons why is because of my job I have been working for chrysalis again up here and loved it to pieces but something I didn't enjoy again were grave shifts:) You can imagine how hard it is to work a grave shift while in school and not adjusted to a completely new environment it can be a challenge. So I was able to talk to my bishop and he recommended that I check out the job program at deseret industries and I did and I am now working for them while working on job skills to find other jobs for the future to better suit my needs at this time in my life. It has been a challenge the last couple of weeks to do both jobs but I have made it through and I will have a more conducive schedule now to be able to focus on my schooling and have more opportunities to meet new friends here. I need that more than ever right now as I am finding out more about myself and coming to know what I can do in my life. Its been fun to see the challenges, big or small I was and am more able to not get as sidetracked on things that are hard and i'm able to work around the obstacles this move has brought to me and in turn I am able to make the steps to changing them in time and with the lord with me everyday. I know I couldn't do it without him and I am so grateful for the wonderful people I have been able to meet and figure out my life. It's been a stretch in my life for sure but I am so grateful for the lord in my life and the blessings it has brought me to learn and grow in this time of my life. I know i'm most likely boring you now I just have been thinking how much I wanted to write down my thoughts and how truly blessed I am to have that right as well as the right to say what I need to and love you all and the blessings that come from you all in my life. Thank You For Being such wonderful people in my life:)

Thoughts

So i officially moved out to Logan, ehhh its been really good:) I have only been there for a few weeks and then I am back home for a few day's before I go to California for my nephew's blessing :)  (More to come on that one later on but Some Thoughts on my head as of late are these: For One I am so so blessed in my life, Why you may ask? Well I know with out a doubt that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is true and how amazing it is to feel that truth everyday of my life. If I continue with goals and my Desire to know my  Brother Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven to lead and guide me to new and  unimaginable Happiness that I couldn't find on my own. It is threw really pondering and coming up with new Idea's that I know where from god and not myself because it end's up to be a huge tender mercy in my life :) I have thought about what tender mercy's are to me and to sum it up in my own words. Its when something in your life that you feel might be Coincident's but are led by the Spirit of Christ and you can recognize that threw the  choices you make or have made that it was no coincident that you were led to that answer in your life. It is quite the process in my opinion but I feel so blessed to recognize that it happens in my life and its only that way threw Jesus Christ in my life. Something else I am incredibly Grateful for in my life is my Family. Each one of them is so different and was brought into my life to help me continue to learn and grow to become a better Child of God :) Witch brings me to another reason why I am so so blessed and that is I know I am A Child of God. I will admit I think I took that for granted for a very long time and I still need to remember that when things go wrong or I feel a little more insecure then I would like to admit but knowing this in my life helps me change those feelings a lot quicker then if I still was mopping and complaining all the time and help's me to understand that I do truly have a purpose here. I love that I have the  chance to be goofy and crazy sometime and feel so loved by my friends. I love that there are so many people to get to know all the time and when you really take the time to get to know them then you grow as well. I love the feeling of always being able to learn and teach in our lives and looking at each situation that we have in our lives and being able to see that maybe our perception of that experience isn't what was intended at all and then figuring out how we can use that to help us grow as the person that we would like to become and someday you might just change someone else's perception for there growth. I love when even you think you messed up that you can always learn from that and it may just be what someone else needed to get back up on there feet. I love Music, I love People, I love my Trials ( Yes you herd me right), I love Food, I love to Cook, I love other's who Cook, I love New Adventures, I love Learning, I love Teaching, I love Change, I love Planning, I love Organization, I love TV, I love all Modern Technology. Most of all I love my Savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and all that it is here on the earth today. Life Is a good thing isn't it :)

Life: Such a Blessing

This summer has been a great one for me so far and been filled with love and wonderful memories and more to come. I am about to move up to Logan with one of my favorite people in this world I first met her in the mtc when she was in my district where all of us would be going to Alabama. I however had some health problems arise and so to help my companion switch it up a bit and get to go learn while I was re cooperating we rotated companions and so Sis. Spendlove stepped in for a while and we really got to know each other and became friends. That continued threw out the mission. When I told her I would be coming to Utah State this fall we Talked about becoming roommates and now that has became a reality. I am so thankful for her and the example she has given to me in my life. I am excited to share this experience with her and more pictures will be coming but for now I will post some we took in the mtc I hope you enjoy. 

My Heart of Dixie

 At the Beginning of June My mom and I had the wonderful privilege of going back to my mission for a few weeks. It was simply amazing and so much fun to have my mom experience some of the things that I was able to do in my mission and other things I wasn't able to do there but could now. I never thought that I would watch not just one but two movies in the theaters where I served my mission and both where wonderful movies and so happy we could go to them. More then that though my mom got to meet some of the people that had a huge part in helping us teach while I was there along with others that we taught and catch up with them. I love this place and hope to go back again soon I love y'all so much and you will forever have a piece of my heart with you and there in Alabama. I miss it but here are some pictures of our adventures so I hope you enjoy.
