Things That Have Come

Why hello. Last week I finally took the big walk, and GRADUATED! It was so awesome because it rained the whole entire time, and all the graduates were out on the feild. I had a lot of support there watching me, and it was prolly one of the best nights of my life.

So, recently I moved apartments. I am now living with Katie Sparks in Mesa, and she is most definatly one of my favorite people these days. I love living with her, because she is so caring, and funny, and cute. But most importantly she loves to clean, just like me. So I am not worried about messes this summer at all really. I am way excited for the adventures we will have living together this summer. We have already started a "quote ball" so that we can put all the funny things any one we incounter this summers says. Then later we can look at the ball and reminice. So far we have 3 quotes and we just started last night haha. Now for 2 of the quotes katie wasn't really around, but this ball involves Madi, and Matt, and our new roomate Kirsten too.

Quote #1. "Follow the thin and narrow path" -Madi 5/24

Quote #2. "I just can't get over how much your oven mits look like your cookies" -Madi's Pop 5/23

Quote #3. "Have a Goodnight tomorrow!" -Katie 5/24

Now these may not seem too funny to you guys, but the people who know will know. And those 3 quotes made me and the people involved laugh really hard. Ahhhh good times.

Ha ha in my new apartment we have this neighboor who has tons of glass mermainds ridding dolphins, and unicorns, and regular dolphins all sitting in their front windows. I laugh everytime I pass them. But one day Madison told me she had found a glass fish at her dads house. We had the idea to place the fish on their porch with a not that read "Add this to your collection." I placed it in front of their door, and too scared to knock in fear of them catching me, I simply ran away. For days it had dissapeard into their house, and I wondered if they were offended, or if they indeed liked the present. It didn't show up in their window seal like I had hoped. But last night as I was heading up to my apartment, kind of glum, I looked to their window, and right in the CENTER of all of the glass fictional characters sit our FISH!!! It made my night, I got so excited and ran up the rest of the stairs to tell Katie, Matt, and Kirsten. Then I quickly dialed Madi to tell her! Then I snuck down there and took a pic.

Haha I truely love how something as small as finding a glass fish that you secretly gave a neighboor in the middle of their window seal, or creating a quote ball with your friends can make a not so good night okay. I love my friends, and they support the each give me. But most of all I love doing crazy random things with them. It will most definatly be a good summer :D

JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

I am so ready to be out of Mountain View High School! I have stressed and stressed about this day and it has finally come! H core studying and H core homework for the past week or so, and then I am out. yay, this is my graduation annoncement that I have put off for a while because of the uncertainty of me graduating, but I found the most wonderful person in the world to create a work of art, both my taste and a little dash of Mountain View Color. I am so lucky to have such great connections, and I love her forever for making them, because my attempt was a good fight, but couldn't process more than one! If you don't get one in the mail, sorry they are limited, because my memory sucks and I forget alot of important people and important things. But you are welcome to come one and all, it will be intresting. Love you all. And congrats to all those graduating as well!

Graduation and Things to Come

This month I am graduating! Yay me!I am going to finally be free from the bars of Mountain View High School. I have felt like they have locked me up in there long enough and I am ready to spread my wings and fly far far away from there, and never look back. It was a rough journey, and I barely made it, but I had a good group of close friends who believed in me and helpled me achieve it, and I am eternally grateful for them. There is nothing that I am sad about leaving, but there are a lot of things that I am scared to be heading toward. I like to call them........
THE THINGS TO COME

• I am officially going to be elligable to close at In-N-Out now because in Arizona the law is not 18, but graduated from high school I guess?! That is one thing that scares me a little, even though half of me is kind of secretly stoked, because I have witnessed people close before and for some strange reason cleaning at 2 in the morning seems fun to me.
• I am going to be old enough to start renting my own apartment if I choose to, and I think you have to have credit to rent one, but how does one come about earning credit?! I don't know?! How am I going to be grown up if I don't even know how to get credit?!
• My bestfriend is moving quite a far distance away from me, and I don't know what I am going to do by myself. She is the one I can tell anything too without feeling judged. She is the one who strengthens my testimony the very most, just through her example of how she lives her life everday, and how caring she is to others.
• College, um....money?! Grades?! Minor?! Major?! Skills?! Interest?! I don't really have any of those right now, and though I truely love and appriciate those who are trying to get me to go right away, I am just not sure if it is my time. I cant make decisions and that is one of the biggest you can make in your life ( in my opinion ).
• Car, haha my car (which I absolutely love to bits and pieces) is sadly falling into bits and pieces. As soon as I get it fixed another problem seems to show up, and I don't know how I will continue to be able to handle the stress of this problem without my best friend here to laugh about it. I don't know what to expect from it this summer.
• I am planing hopefully on taking some institute classes as well. I am extremely impatient about taking institute, because although I love seminary, I know that institute is filled with people who choose to be there, and want to learn more about the gospel and fill their lifes with the spirit, and this summer I want to surround myself with those kinds of people, because without my main source of spirituality around me all the time, I have a feeling I am going to need all the support I can get.

I am so excited to be able to move on and get to meet all my new challenges this summer. I am hoping that I will be able to make tons of new friends and become closer to older ones. I am also hoping to spend as much time with extended family and grow as much as I can spiritually so that I will be prepared for the newest and seems to be hardest trial coming up faster and faster everytime I think of it. I know that the spirit and God won't leave me alone which is my biggest fear, and this summer I need to become best friends with my Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost, this way I am assured I can never be alone and that I can handle it.

My climb

Okay, so its been quite a while since my very first post, but my life has been prrrreetty hectic. I have been having a really hard time, but i have realized the one thing that can always get me through it is FAITH. i know that sounds way cheesy but this week i found my new theme song. Its by Miley Cyrus and its called The Climb. It explains my life and how i feel all the time, and i am so glad to have heard it, i have prolly listened to it like 25 times today!! The lyrics go..... "There is always going to be another mountian, Im always going to want to make it move, Always going to be an uphill battle, sometimes your gonna have to lose, aint about how fast im gonna get there, it aint about whats on the other side, ITS THE CLIMB! KEEP THE FAITH!!!

Anyways, since i have last written alot has happened. My life continues to be challenging. More than anything i wanted to run away and drive to a different state! But i am scared i will get lost, haha i have started to do it like three times and have only got like 45 min. into it and turn around! My valentines day or aka single awareness day was soooo fun! i worked during the day that was lame, but then that night i went over to my the Hofflings house, and ordered pizza and laughed the whole night! i played mario kart on the wii and that was freakin awesome :) love that game, but its so hard to steer!! then we you-tubed it up till pretty late!! haha I was supossed to give a talk at church on sunday but the schedule got changed and so that didn't really happen! it was a relief but next week i still have to do it. haha

Today, i slept my life away and finally got up to get to work! i got to leave early and then i went over to my friend stephanies house, and this morning she told me that she had a bug problem in her apartment but that she has never seen one in her room so not to worry, but i was sitting on the floor after work and i looked at her bed and there was a bug crawling all over it!!! haha i was so freaked out, but was laughing hysterically because it was crawling into her backpack and she was screaming at me to get it out, but i was laughing so hard and have already moved so far away that i couldn't do anything about it!! haha we were both screaming and freaking out trying to find it in her backpack and it took like ten min. to finally find it and get it out! haha she was so freaked i love it!!

I don't have a lot of exciting things happening, but tomorrow will be an eventfull day, i have a lot planned! Me and my besties steph and abby are having a night/day on the town! YAY! we are going to get either a massage or a pedi, then we are going to go shopping, then we are going to ride a machanical bull! yay! we will see if its that eventfull but i am way excited. i havn't been so excited in weeks:)

I am also grateful for friends! i have the besties in the world! STEPH< MADI< ABBY< MATT< JEN< KATIE! yay for friends! they are the reason i am able to continue making My CLIMB! and i know that i will MAKE it to the other side~!

I HATE TOMATOES!!

For the past week I have been staying with my friend Madison from work. It has been pretty fun! I have gotten a lot of excercise in, I have been able to ride her bike to and from work a couple times and she likes to run! I also have gotten a lot of cleaning done. Sometimes she works in the morning and I don't work till night, so I will clean her apartment. It's the least I could do for her letting me stay with her. She is very spiritual and I am very lucky to have landed in her lap. One night we stayed up reading the scrips till TWO THIRTY in the morning. I don't know what it is about her but she makes me want to read the scriptures, and when I go to church with her I want to listen to the lessons. I don't think I have felt the spirit in my life as much as I have in this past week. She does almost everything right and really never bothers me. She is like an older sister and I love her and am so blessed to have her in my life right now.......Although, she does have her flaws haha..........I HATE TOMATOES more than any other food on the planet, I hate the SMELL, the TEXTURE, the TASTE, the OVERALL IDEA of tomatoes creeps me out and makes me want to throw up. So....Madi decides to get a whole freakin bowl of baby tomatoes and eat it like its a bowl of cereal! I could smell the odor soooo strong and I was about to throw up. Tomatoes are not cereal and I don't think anyone should be eating them like cereal. She was cracking up that I was about to blow chunks while still continuing to tell me about the taste in her mouth and how it wouldn't go away, and it made it twenty times worse for me. I also hate it when people eat the normal sized ones like they are apples or candy, which I am sure is something that Madi probley does!!! Tomatoes are just one of those things I don't think I could ever like, even if I trained myself I don't think I would ever be able to bring a Tomatoe close to my face without up-chucking!! I am sorry to those who like them, but I would rather eat a scorpion that any kind of Tomatoe!!!
