Embarking My Life

A lot can happen in a year. Boy have I found that out! This past year, 2010-2011, has been one of my favorite years of my life surprisingly. 19 was a good year for me. Here's a quick look at my 19th year: *I was a counselor for 8 weeks of girls at Oakcrest Girls' Camp* *I broke my first bone-my fifth metatarsal in my right foot* *I moved to Snow Lodge Apartments for my second year at Snow* *I went to Homecoming with a date for the first time* *I had the best roommates ever :) * *I went to Lagoon's Frightmares for the first time* *I had two Thanksgivings and Christmases*  *I graduated from Snow College with my Associate of Science* *I moved to Orem* These are just a few highlights from this past year. There are so many more that I could go on forever with, but these are the biggest ones. My other thought for the week ( you were waiting for it weren't you?) is that you never know the difference you can make in someone's life. Sometimes it takes a lot f...

I'm always thinking, I've decided, about lots of different things. I think each week, I'll probably end up having at least two main topics I've thought about that week, if not more. The first and most recent is the fact that the most exciting things I've done so far I can't show you because I don't have my camera! I accidentally left it at Terreye's house after being there for the weekend. I knew I didn't have it because I didn't remember where I would've packed it. I got back to Orem hoping somehow it would be there, but it was found a few days later at Terreye's. I thought, "Well, I'll be okay. Nothing too exciting will happen." Boy was I wrong! It all started Saturday, well not that I would've taken a picture of this, but the adventures started with me getting hired at Pinnacle Security as an AC agent (short for Account Creation). Yes! I have a job!!!!! I am very excited about this. And from my first day of traini...

If you didn't get the gist of why I am writing this blog, it's largely because it gives me a chance to write out what I've been thinking about. Especially lately. I've been struggling in my mind with questions and confusion, but am somehow at peace with everything. Mostly. First off...I really miss my mom. I miss my house. I miss having everything I have ever known be there for me. I miss having my dad close and frankly I kind of miss being a kid. But, we all have to grow up and move out and go to college, which I'm great with. Don't get me wrong. I love college life, but I just wish some things were different. Or a lot of things. Something else I'm really going to miss this summer is being back up at Oakcrest . Last summer was the Greatest Summer of my LIFE, so far. And when I reapplied and went to the interview, I felt so sure that I was going to get it. I started making lists of things I wanted to try with my girls this year, and then the Saturday t...

Well, hello there! Yes, I am joining the growing amount of bloggers on the web. I was going to wait until I was engaged or something, but who knows when that will be. But I've just been thinking a lot about the changes going on in my life and felt like I should do this. Here are my reasons: It will be fun to learn how to do this, especially if I end up doing something like this in a career, so might as well do it for fun and practice. With my camp name being Ink, I think I need to write more, since it is something that I enjoy doing. I've just been so busy with school that I haven't really written anything for myself, and it's about time I did! Another plug for my other post and why I called my new blog "Writing my Unwritten Chapters", recently I have really felt and heard from others that our lives are consisted of chapters. What is in the future is unwritten and so on here I hope to write about what is coming up in my life and help those who want to st...

We get a lot of our inspiration for things from songs. I feel like the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield is one of many theme songs for my life. Here are the lyrics: "I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way Staring at the blank page before you ...
