A Year for Change (2014 Resolutions)

So guess what! It is that time of year again. The time where everyone makes resolutions and then keeps them for a month. I have actually never made real resolutions before. So I decided to start a list on Sunday and I kind of went out of control. I ended up with 22 goals, which I thought was perfect since I am turning 22 this year!

Here is to a great year!

  2. Re-Read the entire Book of Mormon
  3. Re-Read the whole Harry Potter series
  4. Give away 3 Book of Mormons
  5. Do baptisms in the temple at least once a month
  6. Visit all the temples in Utah Valley and Salt Lake Counties
  7. Re-Memorize the 12 Articles of Faith
  8. Write at least one blog post a month
  9. Save an extra $2000 to go on a big trip in 2015
  10. Finish my last semester with all A's
  11. Attend every Tuesday Devotional during Winter semester (or watch them online during practicum)
  12. Go a whole month without eating chocolate
  13. Meet or have some contact with 100% of my freshmen students during Winter Semester
  14. Read one conference talk every week
  15. Sew a skirt
  16. Learn everyone's names in the ward (each semester)
  17. Consciously serve someone everyday
  18. Contact Grandma and Grandpa at least once a week (Skype, email, phone call)

Quick Housing Update

So I got an email yesterday saying that I will get to choose my housing on April 1st. Really, that is pretty good. Housing opens for others on March 28th...and I have heard as far away as April 13th.

Life as we know it...

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 ...
