Update

Hey everyone coast to coast,

     Here is a little update on what I am up to these days. This semester has been pretty great so far. I have found that walking to school is getting me there just as fast, if not faster than if I were driving. It snowed today about 4 inches and I am really loving walking because I know that there are a bunch of new crazy drivers on the road that don't have experience in the snow.
    Tonight I have a volleyball game at 6:15 pm and then at 8:15pm I have a soccer game... in 4 inches of snow? Nope, They clear it off the fields for us. It will be a first for me to play a real game with when it snowed a couple of inches. I am really regretting that I didn't buy more long sleeved athletic clothing before I came to school. I guess I will have to run that much further.


  This last weekend I was able to go to Utah for a small reunion for my HELP International team. It was so great to see everyone there and there were only a few people who couldn't make it because of distance. The people who couldn't make it in the morning came to our Friend Shelly's house later that night.

Again, it was so great to see everyone and catch up on what they have been up to. They will definitely be friends for life. It was really interesting to see them in "real life" lol I don't know if what we were doing would be considered "real" and what we are doing now is considered, "fake"? I don't know. It was just good to see everyone. 

 

Why I need cartoons, in moderation.

Some people watch reality television and then develop nasty opinions of people based on the way the show is edited. Some people play video games 12 hours straight and don't have social skills. Some people watch nothing but political shows and are never fun to be around when they hear trigger words like, "president", "Obama" "Romney" and "election". Then there is me. Instead of choosing to spend my time wallowing in the latest Lohan story, I sit down at 5:30pm before I work at 7 and get my imagination (that was sucked away by 3 hours of International Economics homework earlier in the day) rehydrated by a little bit of pure nonsensical cartoonage. Adventure time and regular show are about all I care to watch these days, unless the classic Spongebob's are on. If I say something clever, witty, creative or interesting I give partial credit to my exposure to these shows. all in moderation of course. The end.

Change

Mormon Missionary Age Change with Hitler's Reaction

I think that this change will be a great one and that it is definitely inspired. Although I am not looking forward to the embellishment, rumors, "faith promoting" rumors, and assumptions that can't be backed up by what was actually revealed last conference.  Take what you hear with a grain of salt and make sure that you don't continue the chain of fantastical stories. BYUI is buzzing with excitement! Many many girls are getting ready to go but I have to agree with Hitler on this one. You can't just go on a whim. haha

After priesthood I got together with my old roommates and we had a blast at red robin and playing some card games at Lexi and Devan's Apartment. Lexi is the girl with the card on her head and Devan is the cool guy behind her. I haven't laughed soooo had in a long long time. Great group of friends. 

Hitlers Reaction to missionary age change

AMAZING WEEKEND!!!

Brian and Hillary's wedding was so great. I got there just in time. Mom and Dad came too which surprised me and I know that Brian really appreciated them being there. The Draper temple was amazing and the newly weds looked beaming with joy all day. It's like a chapter of my life has now closed haha a mile stone has been reached with those two finally getting hitched. Mom and Dad took me to Provo and we met up with Sarah, Matt, and Tenny. We had a great dinner and after that they dropped me off to go play with my friends from Thailand.

I was laughing the whole time when mom asked me who I was going to the concert that night with. "Who are you going with?" me: "oh just a few of the girls I lived with in Thailand..." Mom:" I don't like the way that sounds..." hahaha They are all very beautiful and it was a blast catching up with them and just talking about and remembering Thailand. We went through old pictures and I think we all got a little home sick for our little town of Thaton Thailand.

The next day I spent time with my roommates and we watched Spiderwick chronicles, which, if you havent seen it yet, is one of the most intense PG movies out there. No joke. I dont have pictures of the weekend off of my phone yet so that will have to be a later day. After we left Utah we stopped in Weston Idaho to pick up our other roommate. It was a beautiful place and I was happy to get to see another part of Idaho that I had never been to before. I want to put a pin in all the places in Idaho that I have visited to put the pieces together in my mind.

I'll sign off with a poem I wrote about my room at home. If any of you have ever been in there at night, you will probably understand it a little better than those who haven't.

Stars on my ceiling

There are stars on my ceiling that glow in the dark

One constellation to shine while I’m sleeping

Each little glint, a green glowing spark

All my wishes they are quietly keeping.

There’s a picture on my wall of soldiers running fast

To possibly face their last hour

Their commander and chief at the front, not the last

Inspires me to find my inner power

There’s a guitar on my floor that quietly sings

Soothing my soul as it hums

As it’s soft lullaby floats off of its strings

my fears and sorrows overcomes

My room is my grove where I met with God

His love for me soft and appealing

And I could be under any star at home or abroad

But tonight, I’m home under my ceiling.
