MATTIE IS HOME!

My friend Matt is home and I am so happy! :] Here is a picture of us at his homecoming.. he's a stud huh!? 

Christmas/Just an update!!

My life is SO crazy! I don't ever have time to get on here and blog! I got to go home this weekend and it was so nice! I love going home :] it's so great! I brought all of my Christmas stuff back to Logan and we decorated our tree tonight! It is so pretty I just love it!! It's a bit early I know, but we aren't going to be around for much of December, so we decided to do it earlier this year so we could enjoy the pretty tree for longer in Logan! I'm getting closer to being done with this semester of school, which is definitely so nice because this semester has stressed me out WAYYY too much! i'm hoping that next semester is a little better!! It should be since I don't have a math class finally! :]

This is me and my friend Colton :]

This is our tree :] So PRETTY!

Grateful # 4 & 5

So one day i'm gonna get good at this whole blogging thing and write on it every day! So here are my things I am grateful for!

#4--- A job. I just LOVE my job.. it can get stressful at times, but I love it! Who wouldn't love working with cute little 1st and 2nd graders every day? They just have this way with people, they can make anyones bad day better. They make me want to be a teacher :] they're so fun! I'm also thankful that I am able to have such a good job, so that I can eat, and take care of myself! I pretty much just love my job!!

#5--- Somewhere to live. I absolutely love where I live. It's such a convenient place to live. It's right by campus, and across the street from my church, so everything is really close. I will definitely be happy about that when it starts snowing.. BURR!! Less time in the cold = BEST! I have great roommates too..  we are all so different, but we compliment each other in certain ways. It's just so awesome to be able to live in Logan, and not have to stress about paying the rent. There are people in the world that have nowhere to sleep or to get out of the cold.. i'm just so thankful for the fact that I have been so blessed! 

Thankful for # 2&3

So i'm already slacking on this haha! Life tends to get in the way sometimes! it's not good! 

SO thing that I am thankful for #2: Family. What would I do without my family? They are seriously the most amazing people :] they love me unconditionally and are always there when I need it the most. My parents win the best parents ever award :] my mom has always been so loving and caring and is always there if I need to talk to someone. My dad is the best dad anyone could ever have :] he is my most favorite man on this earth! He always calls up to check on me and will always send money if I need it, and gives me blessings everytime I ask! Shye, my step mom, is a great person! She is so in tune with the spirit and what is the right thing to do, and she sends me fun packages for the holidays :] Aubri, well she is the funniest girl i've ever met! She is so loving, and such a beautiful girl. I know if I need anything she won't judge me, she always sees the best in me no matter what. Jelly is such a cuddler! I may appear to not want her touching me, but it's always good to come home and have her attack me and give me huge hugs! What would I do without that girl!? Ashlynn has such a passion for life and for the things that are right. She doesn't even get tempted to do the bad things, she's always trying to be the good person! Little Carly, oh how I love her. She is SOOO talkative and always has something to talk to me about, and always makes me feel needed!! I could go off about all of these people in my family, because it doesn't stop there, but I won't! I have the best family out there! :]

Thing i'm thankful for # 3: Education. I do tend to complain about school sometimes, but I am really thankful that I can go to school where I want, and learn about things that I am really passionate about :]  it's just so awesome to learn. It can be stressful of course, but I still love it! 

What I am thankful for!

So my lovely step mom came up with the greatest idea for this month! She is going to try to write something she is thankful for every day of November, and I am gonna do it too! I think it will help me to see the good things that are in my life amidst all of the stress!! :]

So for today, I am grateful for good music! There is nothing better than listening to music to calm yourself down and to feel the spirit. I am grateful that I have a calling that deals with good music and that I get to help bring the spirit into sacrament meeting. I am grateful that I have been blessed with the ability to sing :] I just love music!
