News...

Well to all you who read my blog I want to inform you of the upcoming events in my life... I started the fall semester and it is going rather good. I'm taking an intro to sociology, beginning ballet, New testament, writing 150, and 1st year Danish. The other big news is that I'm engaged and am planning on getting married to the man of my dreams on November 25 in the mount timpanogos temple. I am marrying Jonathan Hardy, and he's pretty incredible. I'll let that sink in for a little before I go into much more detail ;)

Dear World

Dear World,

When you tear me down,

He picks me up.

When you tell me I’m not good enough,

He tells me I can do anything.

When you look at me and shrug,

He looks at me and smiles.

When you tell me I’m ugly

He tells me I’m beautiful.

When you tell me no one cares,

He’s always there to lend a hand.

When you turn your back on me,

He’s always by my side.

When you tell me I’m lost and alone,

He’s there to guide me and be with me.

When you say “nothing lasts for forever,”

He promises to love me always.

When you speak of nothing but hate

He shows me love.

World, you are nothing compared to him…

He is my everything

Wilber

Man I miss my puppy, My sister jsut got a new puppy and it makes me really miss my Wilber... One day, one day I will be with him again!

Hands

Soft and tender while trying to heal the broken skin, yet hard and firm when I broke a rule. your hands, warm and kind healed my broken hearts by a simple squeeze of the hand and a pat on the back. As time when on your hands aged with you. Now frail forms they still glisten with their fulfilled past. Hours of service and years of love worn into them. Your hands have moved mountains of guilt and aided in the crossing rivers of sorrow. They may rest now with you but their impact is forever in the lives they touched.

Life

So I started school at BYU and it's insane! It's so much fun though. I am meeting Lots of new people and I love living on my own it's great. Next week is going to be both fun and scary hard... Tuesday I have an assignment due, HARD part, Thursday the men in my ward is putting on a Sisters appreciation night and I'm excited to go,FUN part, and Friday I have a philosophy paper due and I still am not sure on a topic but I'll come up with one and it'll be good. I love my philosophy class only because of the people in there... I'll let you read into that what you will... my other classes are good but hard at the same time. My Family Processing class kinda sucks because I have to analyze my own family and I really don't want to. The think I don't like the most about being here is not getting to see my dog, I really miss him! I also started work a while ago and I am loving it, my bosses birthday was yesterday so I made her her favorite pie and took it to her at work Thursday because one of the girls were going to be gone. She loved it!

Graduation

I am officially done with high school! I graduated May 23, 2011 it was kinda lame, you know the typical graduation but, It's done and I'm done with school, well high school now I have college I GET to go to HA well I'm going weather I like it or not... I move into my new apartment probably Thursday. Right now I am in Enoch City visiting my sister Sarah and her family. Wednesday I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out and I was put under to get it done and I had a really strange dream of chasing colors. At one point during the extraction I woke up I remember opening my eyes and looking at the doctor and his assistant then I remember I just had to get back to chasing my colors haha. The actual taking out of my wisdom teeth wasn't too bad it's the after affect that sucks. I have been somewhat loopy since Wednesday and I have been EXTREMELY exhausted! both physically and mentally. haha but oh well I'll get better soon... I hope =)...

Update

Well it's a relief to know I have somewhere to live. However it's not a relief when I don't know how I'm going to pay for it. I can not apply for financial aid at BYU and I'm not sure why they keep telling me they don't have all my info but I'm not sure what else they want. I really don't know what to do with my dog. My mom now has decided that she can take him because it is so hard for HER to think about having to give him up. She thinks it's hard for her. Imagine how it's been for me. But I don't know if he should stay here. Or if he should go live with the guy in Billings. At least up there he will have other dogs to interact with and he will be a part of their lives, interacting with him and everything where as here he would basically be just a lawn ornament. The only interaction he gets is when someone goes outside. I don't want that for him for forever. I just don't know I want the best for him but... It's so hard. Suggestions are wonderful... It's hard to believe graduation is in two weeks. It's coming so quickly! Right after graduation I get my wisdom teeth pulled then it's off to college... IT'S about time! I cant' wait to be able to move out on my own and be able to make my own decisions. I know it's going to be a lot different than it is now but... That's what I'm hoping for =)
