Remember Me?


Remember in December when I said that I was going to blog more? Yeah...I lied.
There is only a week more of classes and then a week of finals and then I am DONE with my freshman year! It has passed by so quickly that sometimes it is hard for me to believe that it is really done!

Let me catch you up on all that has happened this semester:

-I got a room to myself: At first I was a little saddened by this, but it has been so great having a whole room to myself. The best parts are having an extra bed that has become my study/netflix watching place, getting to set the thermostat to freezing cold (much to my friend's dismay), and having the fridge on the extra desk so that I don't have to lean down to get my water out of the fridge. While sometimes I wish I still had a roommate, I have been loving having the place to myself.

-It hasn't snowed...much: It really has not snowed that much this winter. All the Utah people have been telling me how this is such a mild winter. In some aspects, I wish that it would have snowed more but I am thankful that I didn't die from the cold/snow being from Arizona. It is crazy how I have adapted to the cold and think that 40 degrees is just a little chilly. 50 degrees is PERFECT. I am going to die this summer going back to a common 120 degrees Arizona.

-I have gotten through two more show weeks: I am in the midst of a Divine Comedy show week with our show on Friday and Saturday. I have been loving being part of this wonderful group and getting to know them. Three of our cast members and one of our crew is leaving after this show. I am going to miss them, but I am grateful for the opportunity that I have had to work with them.

- I signed an apartment contract: I am going to be living with my four best friends next year and I am so excited! I am excited to have couches, a bathtub, and a kitchen!! We are all just counting down the days until fall when we can move in. Hopefully everything will go well between us and we won't have too much drama. I don't think we will because I love my friends! :)

- I got into the El Ed Major: I am officially accepted into my major and I am starting into the program in the fall! I am so excited to be taking classes that really apply to my future. Luckily I have gotten to know some girls in the major, so I will know at least one person in all of my classes. 4 out of my 5 classes are in the McKay Building (Education building). YAY! :)

- I got a job! : In the fall I am going to be working as a Peer Mentor. I am so excited for this wonderful opportunity!! My peer mentor last semester helped me alot just with adjusting to life and feeling welcome and loved at BYU. I can't wait to be that for someone else...and get PAID for it! Exciting!

So this post has become a lot longer than I intended it to be...but now you are all caught up as to what has been happening in my life! :)

Come what may and love it! <3

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
