Totally Random

Random Thoughts and Updates on ME:
1. It's time for me to get some contacts or maybe even glasses since contacts didn't work for me the first time. I sit really close to the front in my classes and I'm squinting to see the board. I also get a lot of headaches and I've decided it's my eye sight. Also I can't see a thing while I'm driving in the dark.... you should have seen me trying to find a friend's house the other night. Wow....
2. Stomach is starting to feel better. I don't seem to get the sharp pains quite as much. I want to say it's because I'm eating better but I'm not so sure. I mean, I am eating better just not as good as I should, yet. It could also be that I'm exercising more (although I get bad pains when I run but I'm not letting that stop me.)
3. School is starting to get overwhelming. I have tons of projects for one class and the due dates are all coming up pretty fast. For example, I have to do a demonstration after spring break. I haven't decided quite yet what I want to demonstrate.... it can be anything. Most people will probably demonstrate how to make some kind of food but since that's not really my specialty I have not a clue what to do! It can be an art project, a skill such as how to shoot a basketball or how to ballroom dance. Hmmm... any ideas? It would help a lot. Also, for the same class I have to do a graduation plan. I have to write down a schedule for each semester until I graduate! I just started! Oh boy... And I have to do job shadowing (interview or job shadow 3 different people in a career I want to go into) and a resoure file with five topics that have to do with my major (again, I just started! I don't have anything to put into file.)
4. And my final thought for the day.... Life has its ups and downs and sometimes we feel like there's no one there but I have come to realize that I'm never alone. The past few weeks I have come to rely on prayer, the scriptures and LDS music more than ever. These things make me happy and they give me comfort. I always feel the spirit so strongly when I surround myself with things of the gospel. Life is good. I have the gospel, I have a wonderful family, I'm getting an education, I have a job (even though I hate it) in this economy, and I do have friends who care. I am blessed in so many ways and because of that I am happy. :)

4th Folder 4th Picture...

Here are the rules:

4. Tag 4 people to do the same

5. No cheating (cropping, editing, etc)

I think I've posted this before but this picture describes probably one of my favorite nights ever! This night was an absolute blast!!! Basically, there was a big party earlier for Jonny's going away (which was also sad) so after everyone left us four Jonny, some kid I don't know, Bubba and me stayed up till 4:00 am laying on these mattresses in their garage. We talked, laughed, snuggled, and obviously ate cheesecake. I also remember being tortured by Bubba and Jonny, one of many times I had been, trying to give me a wet willy and trying to stick their fingers in my nose. Gross, I know but oh the good times and how I miss them!

I tag: Amy, Liz, Natalie, and Devri.

Help

How do you put a picture in the title/header with your name on your blog? I'm not very good at that kind of stuff so please help. Thanks!

Ideas, anyone? Please share.

For one of my classes, I have to do what's called a motivator and present it to the class. For those of you who don't know, my major is Family Life and Human Development emphasis in Family Services. This class is basically a introduction to Family and Consumer Sciences. The motivator is basically some kind of activity that introduces a topic or a lesson; I think this assignment is more beneficial for those who want to teach but oh well I guess I could use the ideas in case I need them someday. I have to share the motivator with this class for not more than 5 min, the motivator has to do something with Family Life and Human development so it can be anything that relates to early childhood development, nutrition, interior design, family services, etc. I need some ideas because I honestly have no idea what to do for this. So if any of you (especially those who might be in this field) have any ideas at all please share. Thanks!

Wow... what a week.

Hey all! Just updating in case any of you read this. I've started school and almost love it. I say almost because I enjoy going to my classes (they're so interesting) but I hate the homework and tests. I guess there's no way out of it. So my schedule has just been crazy busy with school and work. I'm only working part time but I work till ten almost every night and I am still hating my job. But oh well.... This week has been more crazy than usual. I drove to Aurora three times this week; the first and second times for doctor's appointments. For awhile I had been having problems with my car so the second time I went back to Aurora my mom made me leave my car home so my dad could try and figure out what's wrong with it. I borrowed my grandma's old oldsmobile (gotta love it) and by saturday thanks to my awesome dad my car was ok to drive. So saturday (yesterday) after a long day we made a short trip to Aurora. Yesterday my sister Amy drove down to go skiing at Brianhead and me and Natalie joined her. My first time ever and I loved it, even though I am feeling it today. We took lessons and I struggled at first but soon I was doing good. I hope to go more often since Brianhead is so close and I heard night skiing is cheaper. Well that's all for now. Hope you enjoy my fabulous stories.

Wow... it's been awhile. I guess I could go off with all the excuses as to why I haven't blogged but
I'll pass for now. Here's just an update on me and my life. Life's going good. I start school tomorrow and I'm both excited and nervous; more excited though. I went part time at my job and it's ok I guess. Well, ok I hate it but it's life and it's a job. So I'm still looking for a job so if anyone has any ideas or know anyone here in Cedar City, talk to me! Also, the bonus part about going to school is I can finally go to the doctor for my stomach. It's only gotten worse and I want it fixed! Anyways, that's pretty much it that's new with my life; well at least all that I want to share. So, maybe I'll get some pictures up some time and maybe tell a story later or something. We'll see how busy I get with school and work. Wish me luck!

I went to the Carrie Underwood concert in SLC!

Ever since she made the top 12 on American Idol, she has been my favorite. I voted for her then and has been a huge fan ever since. So when Emily called me and asked if I wanted to go to a Carrie Underwood concert there was absolutely NO hesitation. I didn't care if I had to miss work. Seeing her in concert has been on my bucket list since American Idol and the dream finally came true!!! Last Wednesday, about 2:00 I made the drive to Salt Lake for the special event and I must say she was amazing! You think she sounds amazing on t.v. or the radio but you should hear her live. The minute she took the stage I was so happy and Emily and I had to stand and dance and sing at the top of our lungs because we were so excited! I was hoarse by the end of the night but very happy. :)
