BLAH! (revised)

Life has challenges... but I can get through them if I only remember who I am and why I'm here.

The life we live

As humans we make many mistakes, some worse than others. But as someone who makes those stupid mistakes I'm glad that if I'm worthy things can change. There has never been a better experience than when I was standing outside of the Nauvoo Temple. I was so happy just to be there, and the fact that i was worthy to go in made it even better. I'm proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I know the things I have to do to stay happy, and nothing is going to compromise that. I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father, and He loves me; as a member of the church I can learn from my mistakes and be forgiven... to have the Atonement in my life is a true blessing.

(That was kinda serious... so now to a lighter subject.)
By now many of my friends may know that I've started dating!!! My life is finally starting to seem right. Things are changing and I couldn't be more happy. His name is Zack, and although he isn't a member of the church he respects my standards. I guess you could say we are in an "open relationship" we have both agreed to date other people as well as each other. I'm looking forward to meeting many new and interesting people and going on many a group date. :)

Life

So I can honestly say that life hasn't been that bad the past week or so... School is still stupid, but my friends are awesome! I'm glad that I can count on them for anything. My friend Allison has been going through some stuff... and I really wish I could help her, but I just don't know how. I've been talking to this guy for a couple weeks, and I'm really starting to like him, I hope things go ok, but I don't want to just date him, I just want to date around right now and see how things go. Maybe things will happen. I did some scrap booking today! I was having so much fun! I don't remember when I lost myself in something other than music like that. I'm still playing the cello, and it's going pretty well, I just wish I could do a little better, my goal is to be playing in symphony by next year... maybe. My sister, Elijah and I are going to be singing in church soon, I'm really scared... the last time I did that I was shaking five minutes later. Maybe things will go better this time though because I'll be singing with other people.

RaNdOmNeSs

Sooo... efy was awesome!!! Really want to go back next year if i can get enough money saved up. Trek was cool too! i really loved the woman's walk. I am now on syc!! I can't wait for a year full of fun things! I got my young womens medallion this sunday.... really liked how i had my full family there.... NOT... i'm actually kinda sad that my dad didn't go. Sophomore year is eh... just started.... it's sad.

Soccer

Ok, so school has been out for a couple weeks... (i think lol... can't remember and i'm too lazy to count) and most of the time i've just been watching soccer with my sister. She was pretty interested to find out that her favorite player wasn't playing for spain. Jacob is now on his mission along with my cousin Edgar. Maybe I'll get to write both of them...it is fun getting mail. Also went to so fun places....Baseball, kings island, and so on... lol. I went in and got things done for my retainer... CAN'T WAIT!!! I get these stupid braces off the week after young women's camp... so now i'm going to have a jade retainer...(it was that or turquoise.) I've had some trouble with friends over the past few months... but hopefully that is all over. Back to being happy and perky! lol... (maybe not as perky)

Summer

Ok, so it is finally summer! I can't wait for things to get rolling. I don't have anything planned for the rest of may, but maybe something will come up. June: Kings Island for Jeri's Bday/Jacob leaves for utah, Summer school online (whoever thought of that is awesome!), Camp! (Eclipse comes out the week i'm gone...). July: End of camp, EFY with Janet!, Finish making skirts, Youth conference! August: back to school... sophomore year... w00t... not. At least that means the start of seminary... am i crazy for wanting to go? lol... so ya... my summer is packed full; but it is all worth it. Maybe next year I'll get to go out to utah.

Tennessee Week...

ok... so this week i've been at my grandparents house in Jamestown, TN. There have been new dresses, temple trip to Nashville, raking... and DRIVING!!! so i didn't crash the car... didn't hurt anyone... and had a lot of educational fun. Now if i could only get my parents to take me out... hmmmmm... lol. Today and to-morrow we are watching conference... inbetween today is an easter egg hunt (i decorated the eggs) and to-morrow i get to drive home to Indiana with my uncle. Can't wait to be home, don't want to go back to school...had homework over break... have i done any of it? NOPE!! lol.. well maybe a little. Hung out with my cousin Brina yesterday... stayed up for a while... lots of fun! lol... my grandparents are going to have 10 grandchilden down here this week... hope they have lots of fun... no snake bites!!! ok? lol... Can't wait for school to be over so we can start this summer... 143
