Life as we know it...crazy!

Holy cow! This is what happens when life gets busy, there is no left over time to blog! Well these past few weeks have been very interesting, but at the same time, very exciting! So if you don't mind, I am going to let it all spill out... With a new semester beginning, I feel like I always have my nose in a book. For every class that I signed up for, requires pages upon pages of reading each night, not that I don't like reading but seriously, it gets so boring sometimes. Three weeks in and I am already learning so much, wow! I will be grateful for any breaks that come up though... Fridays=no class=a little relaxation.  For the past little bit, I have been contemplating my major, if I should transfer to do another program, or stay at the U. Well the first day of the semester I had a meeting with my counselor about my options and declaring my major. Not only did this help me decide, but it totally made it more difficult for me to make the final decision. This is when the temple...

I have been thinking about this question a lot lately. Sometimes I feel like I could be luckier, but then what fun would that be. I would like to give a couple of examples Example 1: I wish I could meet a guy that is good to me, handsome, wonderful, a returned missionary, a sense of humor, you know the list of qualities all of us girls have! I see my sisters, and many many girls from my graduating class, who are happily married, engaged, or even dating... and sometimes I get super jealous that I can't have someone like they do. I miss being spoiled with love or having some one to turn to when things are tough. It's hard to be happy because atone time I did have that... I have had to push myself to not be sad. I have to laugh now because I am now the single one, when not quite a year ago, I was practically engaged. I now get to say I am lucky to have the courage to move on and date others-to hopefully find THE ONE, to spoil me with love. I am lucky now because I get to experie...

Happy New Year! I hope Everyone had a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR! This year I celebrated it with my family, as usual. We had lots of fun and hours of laughter with each other. The happiness filled the air and was contagious, I would never replace these nights for anything! I love my family and they truly are my life! Here is to a New Year and new opportunities. So my resolutions.... are- -Be even more happy -Get a toned body -Look for a job opportunity within my career -Save money for a fun trip -Go to the temple every Friday -Get a stronger testimony -Exceed in school -Create more fun memories -Grow closer to my family -Have more friends -Live life to its fullest, because life is an adventure!! Well I could go one but these are some of my main ones. I can't wait for this year, because so many things are going to happen, so many wonderful things! I can't help but smile at the things that have happened, and will happen. 2011 was a tough year for my family and many hard ...

Merry Christmas Everyone!! This year for Christmas the best gift that I received was having all of my family be together in one house! Wow, now that has been a while, but I totally loved it! I could not be happier, and by far it beats the presents that could have under the tree! My family is so funny when we get together. My ditsy twin sister was so excited to show me her footsie pajamas that when she came prancing down the stairs, she slipped and ran into our kitchen wall, the corner of it and dented it, ha I am so surprised that she didn't break her knee, but the poor wall ha! I hope that we can remember the true meaning of Christmas. Presents are wonderful, but that is not what Christmas is about. It's about remembering the birth of Christ and all the sacrifices that he made for us during his life. I love this season, and I love how close everyone becomes at this time! The miracles are countless and and magnificent, it's amazing to see how everyone sacri...

So... 11 years ago I was in a terrible bike accident, and today... I was finally able to get the smile of my dreams. Through much pain and swelling and patience, I am where I am today! I could not be happier, and frankly I have never stopped smiling. Gap or not, I can't stop this smile from appearing, try smiling all day long its a great face work-out! There is one thing I still need to do, I need to match the color of the canine teeth to the rest of my teeth, but that will only take bleaching. This has been quite the journey, but in the long run, so so worth it! I keep looking at them, because they are different, and even tough for the last six months I have had no gap, these are the real ones and they look beautiful. My dentist did a great job and he and his team helped me stay calm through the whole thing. So parents, and even those who aren't parents, always remember to put helmets on you and your children! So now my new motto is, SMILE BIG NO MATTER WHAT! This will help bu...

I feel like November never happened! Ha time is going by way too fast these days. So my word of advice is, never, ever take anything for granted, life is way too short, never live with a day of regret, because you never know when it will be taken away from you. I do know that this last month I have grown up so much and for that I am grateful!!  I also came to the realization that I am happy so happy, even though the things that have happened to me, have been full of tears and sadness, I can't help but smile. I always have to think... "there is always someone in a worse position"... I was having a conversation with one of my Aunts, whom I love dearly and am so grateful for her in my life about being happy. She told me something that hit me, which inspired me to write this blog. As I mentioned, I have had to do a lot of growing up the past few weeks, and doing some things with a smile can be difficult. She said, "You radiate happiness!" Not that I am trying to put...

Happy Thanksgiving friends! Wow time has sure flown by, I want to apologize for it taking so long for me to blog... my life literally has been crazy these past few weeks. Now I am not asking for a pity party, or your sympathy, because all of the incidents that have happened to me have helped me me more grateful for the things that I have instead of the things that I yearn after. Well buckle up, I am going to take you on my adventure the past couple of weeks. This time of year is when everyone should be gathering together and celebrating with family. Well my family has been doing so, but not like one would want. In the past two months or so , my family has had two surgeries, an emergency room visit, two cars break down to where we ended up getting a new car, and a sister get married,a sister get engaged, and a sister have an ovarian cyst burst. At first we all kept asking, when will we ever get a break from this hectic way of life. Well it never will get any easier,...
