The Summer Project

After a couple turbulent weeks, it seems as if things are starting to fall into place and I'm beginning to realize how incredibly blessed I am. The Summer Project, the community service organization my best friend and I are starting, is finally starting to come together. We got authorization, liability coverage and sponsorship from the Washington city recreation center, and we get to advertise at the high school tomorrow in an assembly. Things are beginning to roll and I'm so excited!All we need now are volunteers and we can begin to do the good we wish to accomplish. Thanks to all of you for your support and we hope to continue to do awesome things! If you're interested in helping us out, email us at thesummerproject@live.com or visit our website at www.pineview.org/service for more information.

Freshman Year Finale

Hi readers! I'm so sorry I haven't posted in ages. Hopefully i'll have more time because SCHOOL IS FINALLY OVER!!! I cant believe it! I've completed my freshman year of college already. :) I'm so glad the drama and stress are over for a while and I can come home and start something new and great. I'll post tomorrow and tell you more about that. Until then, I'll be unpacking my crazy room. talk to you soon!

Update: I'm Still Kicking! ;) ....And plan to for quite some time!

Hello my dear friends. I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written. These past few weeks have been horrendously busy and stressful. I was lost of in a sea of stress, emotions, drama, medical terms and math problems; each crashing wave bearing down, tossing me deeper and deeper into the drink. Thankfully, my weary head broke the surface multiple times amidst the torrent, allowing for insight, redirection and motivation to keep furiously swimming toward my end goal. I'm so grateful to be surrounded and supported by many people who love me, care for me and want to help me down this difficult and rewarding road called life. Most importantly, words cannot describe the gratitude I have for my Savior; for His patience, incomprehensible love, and tender mercies He shows me everyday. Even though I've experienced turbulence lately, life is truly wonderful. I'm breathing for the first time in weeks, Spring Break is next week, Clark got his mission call last Wednesday and Ken will hopefully receive his within the week, hopes for a dream are starting to really seem like a possibility, I get to see my amazing girls soon and I get to go buy food today! :D Life is difficult, challenging, rewarding, exciting, and totally worth it. I'm so glad to be apart of this magnificent learning experience and start a new effort each day (or adventure) to become better. I hope that all is going well in your lives and that you will be blessed for your goodness in all that you strive to do. Thank you again for all that you do for me.

I love you all. xoxo

Half Birthday

Today is my half birthday...a day after my mom's. In six months from today I'll reach the ripe old age of 19. Its so hard to believe. AHH! Anyways, It is also Abraham Lincoln's Birthday....What a good soul. *nods* i love that man. Its been snowing like crazy today....either softly falling or huge blizzard waves. I love it! anyway...just ramblings, but it IS an update. I'm sorry for wasting two seconds of your life. haha. Have a great day! oh! and a very merry unbirthday to you!

WOOT!!! I passed!!!

After an exhausting week and three exams, I finally get to relax for a bit. haha. I managed to pass my bio exam with a high B+ (88%) and I got an A- on the anatomy exam of the century. Actually, only five people out of 75 got above a ninety percent in the exam, and I was one of them. I couldn't believe it!! I'm relieved, if only for a week or so. I hope that all of you are doing well. Talk to you soon! xoxo

I need one of these.

Hi. I should be studying, but I'm finding excuses not to at the moment. ha. I realized I havent posted for a while, so I figure I should. If you havent guessed, school is crazy at the moment. My stress-o-meter is freaking out, especially whenever my anatomy class is mentioned. I have a major exam next week that i'm FREAKING out about...it's epic...and I have to pass it. I also have a biology exam, a psychology test, not to mention a ton of math assingments. But, that's college, right? *sigh* So, I just wanted you all to know that I am probably not going to post for about a week or so. Its not because I died or I hate the human race, I promise. If you would like to talk or get a hold of me, my email works really well :D. I hope you are all doing well. Have a good week. xoxo
