A New Year

Yeah yeah...I know no one reads this blog, but I still should be doing a better job at keeping a blog than what I am doing. So here is to a new year!

I have made it through my first semester of college. Oh what a CRAZY semester it has been! So here is a basic overview of my first semester at BYU:

1.I got pretty good grades-All A's, with one A- and one B+. I consider that good- hopefully I can keep it up this second semester as I am taking American Heritage. American Heritage is know to most Freshman as the worst class in the world. People are happy when they get over 50% on the tests. Sound like fun? Yep-that is what I am entering into.

2. I have made the most amazing friends. I am not going to deny that there has been some major drama between some people, but I still have met some of the best people I have ever met. I have been loving almost every second of my first semester because of these people. We have had some fun times having hot chocolate, tim-tam slams, and going out for toasted PB&J (which sounds really gross, but it REALLY GOOD!) It has not been about the big things, but the little things that we have done together that have made our friendships what they are.

3. I got to meet David Archuleta. If you know me, you know that I LOVE David Archuleta! It was so fun going to his signing with some of my friends. We had to stand in line for hours, but it was completely worth it! I got to talk to my idol for about 0.5 seconds, but it was worth it. He is going on a mission now, so this may be the last time that I would get to get my CDs signed and such. I am glad htat I was able to be so close to him and fulfill one of my greatest wishes. :)

4. I have joined Divine Comedy. Divine Comedy is a comedy group on BYU's campus. I have become the new assistant stage manger. I have only worked one show week so far, but it was so fun! I am nervous and excited, but I already have met some amazing people because of it!

I have made it. I survived my first semester of college! If you would have asked me the first week of the semester if I would make it, I don't know what answer I would have given you. To be completely honest, I was so homesick. In fact, I marked 3 weeks on my calendar. If I was not happy by week 3, I planned to get on a plane and go home. I stayed-so that tells you something! :) It has been a crazy semester. Sometimes I wonder how I made it through. As I am entering into my second semester, I realize that it is time to make some resolutions. One of my resolutions is to write on this blog more often. I don't exactly know when or how often, but it will be more often.

Anyway-this post is already too long. As I leave you, I promise I will be back soon. Here is to a new semester!

Answered Prayers

To those of you who heard my testimony today, I apologize that I am repeating myself. This is an experience I just needed to write down for myself. Let's rewind to Monday night. I hadn't been feeling all that great. I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before. I just was ready to go to bed. I told myself that I would come home from FHE and go to sleep. I was in my pajamas by 8:30- crazy for a college student, right? One of my friends dropped in for a visit. After she left, I had one of those moments where I just felt completely alone. I went to my room and prayed when a few simple words came to my mind. "Heavenly Father, Are you really there? And do you hear and answer every child's prayer?" These two lines from the children's primary song were stuck in my mind. In the moment, it is easy to doubt that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. How can He really hear every single prayer around the world? How can He answer every single one? It just

Becoming Myself: A Year in the Making

I have never really had the opportunity to be myself. I have always felt the need to hide who I really am because of those around me. The first time I remember doing this was in third grade. My third grade teacher was strict. This is much more than just the normal "mean teacher"- she would threaten to hang us by our toenails in the corner if we did not behave. Before third grade, I was very outgoing, but I lost that because of fear. It just went deeper and deeper as the years went on. My freshman year of college, I told myself that I was going to start new. I tried to be myself, but it was really hard. Then with roommate issues, I turned back into my shell. I hid who I was. The next year, I moved in with the"friends" that I had made Freshman year. 4 girls who I thought I could trust through everything. Things happened and by the time winter semester came, my two best friends moved out to go on missions and the other two girls who I had known since Freshman year

Our Story (Part 2)

Our Story:  Starting Our Relationship Part 2 of 2 Kindred Dead Show (1 month into dating) Our story was a little different than most, but I love it that way. I left off where we were just friends. When I say that we were just friends, I completely mean it. I didn't have feelings for him, he didn't have feelings for me. We both had moved on to other people. Life continued to move forward. As I said before, Gariet helped me through one of my hardest times with depression. He helped me when I just needed a friend. I needed him more as a friend than anything else. Meeting Gariet's Family We both went home for winter break. Gariet knew that I was worried about this because of everything that I was going through at that time. He stood by me, even though he forgot his phone in Utah. He would send me Facebook messages, iMessages, and called me on Skype. I started to realize that I still had feelings for this crazy boy. I kept denying it. I couldn't like
