One more semester down, one more to go!

So I just finished my last final of the semester. Weird feeling considering it isn't even finals week until Monday. But I wanted to take a second and clarify what is going on with me... You know how I thought I was graduating in April? Yeah, that's obviously not happening. It would have been too crazy and stressful to get all of my classes I needed to graduate done this semester, so I decided to extend one semester. It has honestly been the best decision for me at this point. Extending has allowed me to do way better in my classes this semester than if I was cramming everything in, and it is allowing me to take one more trip with PRSSA to Philadelphia in the fall. I would not have that chance if I was graduating in a week. It has proved very beneficial to my health and stress levels to take things a little easier and I am very grateful to those who have supported me and helped me along my way to get to where I am today. I couldn't have done it without you! Thank y...

Making Decisions and Setting Goals

You know, it's really hard to make decisions. Especially when you are choosing between lots of good things. Maybe that's why it's so hard for me to make decisions is because I am choosing between LOTS of GOOD things. All I know right now is that I have a lot of good things behind me and more good things ahead of me. I also realized that a lot of is because of hard work. I have many decisions that I am making in my life right now, but also many goals I am setting. I like to make lots of goals toward things, but often get brought down by the bar I set for myself. Thus, I have decided to set some new goals and work little by little to achieve them. I will share a few to help hold myself accountable: Lose 20 pounds by the July 31, 2013.  Eat healthier and on a more consistent schedule. Drink more water. Read at least one chapter in the Book of Mormon everyday. Attend the temple at least every other week. Are these pretty good ones to start with? I hope so. I ha...

Faith, Hope, and the Atonement

Happy Easter! I know this post will end up saying April 1 on it, but I wanted to express my gratitude and love before I went to sleep after this wonderful Easter Sunday. My testimony has been strengthened today. I Know that the Lord is mindful of us, even with the smallest things. Here's my reason today: My care has been overheating for some reason. Two weeks ago I realized it was going above the "H" on the temperature gauge and got worried. I took it in to Jiffy Lube and got the coolant fluids flushed. That helped for about a week, which meant up until last (Saturday) night. I started freaking out because I was going out to Tooele to visit my family for Easter but was worried my car would get really damaged if I did. Trevor and I decided to pray for help and peace. We felt like we would be okay, so we headed out this morning. We said another prayer before we left. My car did great. It stayed about normal to slightly above normal the whole trip there. We had a great da...
