Glee!

Glee is my new favorite TV show. My friend Kenzie got me into the show by making me watching the season finale. She let me borrow the first part of the season. Needless to say I got hooked. Luckily my other friend had the last part of the season and put them on my iPod. I am in love with the show so far. I am still finishing them but I love them. My favorite characters are Will, Rachel, Finn, and Emma. I just love the songs and the plot. Yes I am an official Glee Fan. Is anyone else a glee fan. I think we should have glee nights! Ok yes I am a dork. Lately I feel like I can really relate to Emma's character. She is not very confident and very unsure of herself. I feel alot like her, especially lately.

As of 3 days ago my plans in life changed. My plan was go to the U take the classes that will help me become a good child life specialist, get a internship (preferable at primary childrens), take the certifying exam, and get a job as Child Life specialist. I felt good about this plan. I finally felt like I knew what I was doing with my life. It felt good when people asked what I wanted to do with my life.
So I went to an orientation for my class and the teacher told me I was not allowed in the class because I didn't have the prerequisites for the class. The prerequisites are classes like understanding child and child development. I told the professor that i was more than qualified and experienced in that area. She didn't believe me. so needless to say I won't be going to the U. I will just get an internship out of state without the classes. Stupid People at the U. Anyway life is good and I feel like the lord is leading and guiding my life.

So what am I am going to do with my sudden free time. I am going to study about child life and use my friends material from the class. I am also going to enjoy other good books. I am also going to get a full time job and save up to live out of state while I intern.
Thats my plan, Wish me Luck!

Summer Is Almost Over :(

Today is August 9th, what? where did the time go? I am honestly sad that summer is almost over. I don't like the idea of it getting cold. I love the warmth and sunshine. I got depressed the other day thinking about winter. I had to force myself to think about the good things about winter. Here is what I came up with. In the winter I can cuddle up with a blanket and Ben. Right now it is too hot to cuddle. I can get hot chocolate. I can wear hoodies and sweatpants. The best part about this winter though is that Sam will be coming home. I seriously can't wait until she comes home. She is a great missionary but I miss my best friend.

I have done some fun things the past few weekends. Over the 24th weekend I went with Ben's family to Cosey resevoir need Pine View. We chilled in the sun, swam and had lunch. It was fun to get to know Ben's Mom and Step dad a little more. The next weekend I tubed the Weber River with Ben's family again. This time we were with his Dad and Step Mom. Tubing a river is something I have never done. I was kinda nervous at first but it was really fun. I did however fall off my tube a couple of times.

I finallly got accepted into the U to the take the class I need to hopefully become a child life specialist. My first day of class I think is the 25th. I am kind of scared. The U is so big and different from Weber. I think I will like it though. I have missed the social part of school. I am excited to meet new friends. I am also very excited for the class. I think I will really enjoy it. Tomorrow I plan to go up to U and figure out where everything is.

At work with my kids I have been trying to keep them busy. I bought this really awesome air dry clay. All the kids have had alot of fun with it. Its fun to see what each of them come up with. I will have post pictures later.

Well thats about all for now!

Summertime!

I love summertime. Being out in the sun is my favorite. I love going outside with out a jacket. living life in flip flops and even barefeet. I love love love summer. I love that there is so much more to do in the summer. The sun makes me happy.
I shall update you since my last post. I graduated on April 23. Graduation was so much fun. President Monson came and spoke. The spirit there was amazing. I am not techincally graduated. Right now I am working on one more class and I will have my degree.
I finally figured out what I am doing with my life. I want to become a child life specialist. I have to take a couple of classes at the U. I am working on getting accepted and other stuff that involves going to a new school. I am really excited that I have my life somewhat figured out.
Most of my time is spent nannying. I am once again nannying 3 families. I love all my kids. I have been watching two of the families for almost 3 years now and the other family on and off for two years. I have loved watching them grow up.
My other time has been spending time with Ben. I love spending time with him. We have still beeng going biking, geo caching, and other outdoor things. The other day we woke up at 4 am to see the lunar eclipse. We also got to see the sunrise. We have done a few double dates with our friends Tanya and Jace. We also have doubled with Brady a coulple of times. I love Ben. I have never loved someone like I love him. I am so happy with him. I am glad we are dating. Tomorrow we will have been dating 3 months. Well that is pretty much what I have been up to.

Meet Benjamin!

This is Benjamin. He is pretty awesome. We have been dating about a month now. I really enjoy spending time with him. We do lots of fun things together. We have gone geocaching, walking, biking, rollerblading. A few weeks ago we went to the Owl City concert. The concert was so fun. Ben made it even better. A couple of days ago we took the train down to salt lake at had a picnic at Temple Square. We had pb&j, apple sauce and fruit snacks. Then we went to the Joseph Smith movie. These are just some of things we have done. It was alot of fun. We seriously have so much fun. I hope this goes somewhere, because I really like him.

Mr. Bojangles!

My family got a kitty about two weeks ago. His name is Mr. Bojangles. We call him Bo, bobo, bojo, ktity, or baby(ha ha). Yes we are weird. He is so much fun and very playful. He likes to run up and down the stairs. The first day he fell down the stairs. It was so sad. He also likes to hurdle the our kitchen bar stools. He chases his tail, tin foil balls and other things like feet. He is so much apart of our family already. Cheesey I know. We have never had a real pet til now. The other day we went upstairs to say prayers. He was left on the mail level. Bo started crying and we called his name and he came upstairs with us for prayer. What a silly cat we have? He is just a loveable cat. I love him

Well other than a new kitty I am just trying to finish up school. I walk in less than 3 weeks. I have so much to do and so little time. I am kind of freaking out. Then right after graduation I will start my last class and then get my official degree. I am scared because I don't know what I am going to do with my life. I know with the lords help I will figure it out because I know that getting a I just plan on nannying for the summer and look for jobs. I also want to go camping. I havent been since I was a young women. I never had the best experience going. I decided I should try it again. I have friends that want to go and they love camping so it should fun. I want to spend alot of time in the sun and at the pool too. That would be so fun. Well thats all for now.

Reasons I love being single!

Lately it seems like alot of people have been asking me why I am still single, not dating anyone or not married. I am frankly getting sick of it. It is actually making me kinda sensitive to where I freak out. For example my grandma told me I need to get out more and be more social. You are looking at a social butterfly. Sure I could do more. I do something every weekend unless I am working. Even then I try and make an effort to be social. I go to alot of institute activities, I go to institute class, I go to a lot of my single's wards activities, I go to other peoples ward activities, and I go to school functions. I am not sure what else I can do to be more social. I guess at these activities I could try and meet more people. Today my aunt and other Grandma asked me why I didnt have a boyfriend. I kinda freaked out. I can't just wave my magic wand and get a boyfriend. It just doesnt work like that. I go on dates. I take up any offer when someone tries to set me up. It seems like when I do go on dates either the is really into me and me not so much or the other way around. Another thing I find is that I really like alot of qualities about the guy but for some reason we are just not clicking. Last weekend I went on a date with someone really great. He is really nice, good looking, fun, works hard etc. We just didnt seem to really click. I think we could make it work if we tried. We don't have alot in common other than being in the same class. Any way sorry to go off. This has just been on my mind and it was bothering me. I have been thinking alot of reasons why I love being single. I think living in the moment in the moment and enjoying is very important. I think I forget to do that alot and get caught in not enjoying the moment. I am single right now and by golly I am going to enjoy it. I am going to list some reasons why I love being single. (You married folk dont get offended. One day I will write the reasons why I love being married). Also dont think I am being selfish. I am just simply enjoying this time in my life
1. I get my full size bed all to myself. I can sprawl out and move around any way I like
2. I can listen to whatever music I want to without having to worry about the other person getting annoyed
3. I can spend my money how I want to
4. I can buy clothes and other things when I want and without discussion. (Maybe I have discussions with that little voice in my head telling me I dont really need that new shirt)
5. My schedule revolves around me
6. I can organize my room how I like it
7. I can go and hang out with my friends when I want
8. I can watch endless hours of chick flicks
9. I can watch whatever I want on tv
10. I can go on lots of dates
11. I can hang out with my guy friends
12. I can go to the gym when I want

thats all i can think of for now. I am sure I will be adding to the list. I love being single and mingle. One day I will be grateful I am married and will enjoy that fully. But why be miserable until that day. I love life.

Update on life, school, new ward, etc.

I haven't blogged since October. Its time for an update. It seems like life is so busy right now. Life is good though. I am trying to remember what happened since October.

Halloween was alot of fun. The day before Halloween Jessica and I dressed up as roller blade derby girls. We went to the institute Halloween dance. We were going to go in the institute with our roller blades on but we got scared. We should have though. It would have been awesome. On Halloween I went to a party. It was alot of fun. Met some new people and I dressed up as my normal cowgirl costume.

Novemeber was really busy, mostly because of school. My classes kicked my butt. I had communication Law. It was interesting and I learned alot but it sure kicked my butt. Then I had intercultural communication. Believe it or not that one kicked my butt. My other two classes werent hard it was just hard to keep up with them when I was focussing on law and intercultural. Needless to say I made it through the semester and passed my classes. I really thought I wasn't go to pass. I almost gave up on my finals.

In October I starting going to University ward at the U. I really like this ward. The ward is huge. All the people are very friendly and nice. While I miss things about my old ward I love love love my new ward. This ward is very organized and unified. I really love my bishopbric and have met alot of awesome people. I car pool with some girls from my old ward. It has helped to have friends to go with. Its helpes with making new friends. Everytime I got to church or an activity I am more and more impressed with the ward. Its worth the distance I travel.

December was busy as well. I sure enjoyed the break though. After finals I had to get ready for christmas. Christmas was great. I loved spending time with my family. News years eve was fun too. I did alot of fun things during the break. I went on a couple of dates during the break. His name is Steven.

I started back to school this week. I love my classes. This is my last full semester before I graduate. I am going to walk in the spring but officially get my diploma in the summer. I love my classes so far. I have 16 credit hours and 7 classes. Its going to be intense. I don't think I my classes will be hard but they will keep me busy. I have stress mangement, emotional wellness, listening theory, organizational communication, senior seminar, and two computer classes. On top of that I have to finsh stuff for my internship.

I think thats a pretty good update on life.
