Happy Mornings! :)

Theres nothing better than just wakeing up on your own

and having the sun beaming in through the window

kicking off your covers and instead of icey air biteing at you legs

feeling the sun beams warm up your skin

and best of all just lieing there listening to the birds sing and play

whatching the light shine off the turle water onto your roof

doing its own little dance up there

 its a whole little private performance there 

 just for you .

I love these mornings! They set you up for just the best day ever. Nothing can ever go wrong with a morning like this to start off your day. And the day held true to this. After waking up to this magical performance i got up and got ready for church. I had a good hair day, my make up accoperated with me and for once in my life (my parents can attest) i only tried on one outfit and actualy kept it on. As church was amazing classes and talks all included. We came home and prepared dinner for my best buddy at school and his mom. Which went amazing!!!! Elena (the mom) is jsut about the funniest person ever!! You will luagh your head off and hold a smile the whole time you are around her! and as for Marco (my buddy) the best way to describe him is as a firecracker and sweet sugar all in one. You never know whats coming but hes just like a big lovable teddy bear at the same time. I really enjoyed having them both over for dinner and hope to do it again.

The day before I woreked at the Guacomle Bowl (which i highly suggest everyone to go to next year) it was AMAZING!!!!!!! and tons of fun. I made a new friend there and really enjoyed helping out! My job was to stamp peoples hand give them a bag of chips and a pamphlet as well as answer any questions they had. I had alot of fun and everybody was soo nice. Also a nice benefit was that there was actualy ALOT of cute guys there and working my specific job I got to see every single one come in. Towards the end I helped set up for the cook off and smash boxes in the kitchen to recycle. I loved helping out I just wish I knew about it sooner and that I could do it next year which i wont beable to do becuase ill be in college. But theres new adventures for me at college and anyone who can go to this, I HIGHLY suggest you do!
 :)
Just remember happy mornings set you up for a perfact day and there dosnt have to be a magical performance there to have one, but it sure is a treat when it does happen.

FREE TRUCK ANYONE?

Now i understand that basically 99% of society would describe there life as busy, well i fall under that 99%. My basic everyday schedule goes from 5:30 to 10. So i will use the common phrase " i was just out of it as my excuse."
So i got home from practice a few days ago just headover heels becuase i have OFFICIALY started the coolest most awsome sport known to mankind as *drum role please* HURDLES!!!! So i rushed into the house took a shower and started my homework. As i sat on the computer working my dad walks in the door.
mom: Hey Fred i need you to do.....
dad: (completley ignores my mom and walks staright to me)
me: (frantically makinga list in my head of what he could be upset about and coming up with nothing too bad)
mom: whats wrong??
dad: your coming with me my dear
me: ok
(we both walk out the door and mom is very confused)
he then walks me to my truck and points at the door 
dad: are you trying to give the truck away??
there in the door dangled bright pink flowered/ sparkly princess full set of keys in the door...... ooops!!! 
i personally claim the im out of it excuse ethier way i almost gave our truck away which woul have been very bad and as my dad said later on i didnt just leave the key in the door but i left a very big flag on it with all the pink and sparkles...
oops!!  

My Bucket List

Everyone thinks I'm too young to have a bucket list but i figured you could never be too young to have one since isn't the point of a bucket list to accomplish things before you die? and i figure that's probably easier to do the younger you are! Now i haven't actually ever written my bucket list its always just sorta been in my head and as i see things i just add to my list. From now on ill just add things to this post as they come up and as for now ill just put down all i can remember :) Now some and maybe most are probably not very realistic and others just weird or dumb, but hey its my list!

Cute moments

Since Ive been home theirs been three cute moments :)

First is that dad had set the table all very pretty and nice (there was even candles involved) for mom and i when we got home, it was very nice and sweet. On our place were cute homemade valentines day cards. There was a cute picture on the front and inside and a even sweeter and cuter poem in it. Fro those of you who don't know my dad is an amazing poet I'm not lieing or over exaggerating!! i do not know how a mathematician is equally blessed with the gift of words but he was double blessed with that. I absolutely loved the poem and plan on keeping it forever.

The second sweet moment is Ben gave me a recess valentine when i walked in the door! thank you Ben!

and Thirdly is i love my cat Sheba!!! We have a routine we do every night. Where we are litterly each others little cuddle buddys everynight. She follows me as i get ready for bed and as crawl into my sheets she comes up by my head and just curls into me and sleeps with me untill im asleep. While i was gone i really missed my cuddle buddy it actualy got to the point of me cuddling with my blankets!!! And from what i hear from Dad apperantly she missed me to haha. But anyways last night we did our little routine except this time she crawled under my arm and gave me the sweetest cutest little kiss on the cheek. it was almost as if it was her way of saying i missed you. She then layed her head down and fell asleep curled up in my arms <3 i love that cat! and will miss her soo much when i  leave!

As for today... it was quite entertainging. Other than the fact i was very giddy to be back home at school (wierd i know but i love school!!!) I was told off  about being Mormen( a first for me) , got to view some entertaining drama going on at school ( not involved in thank goodness) , and the best of all i got to reunite with my amazing great old track friends :) ive missed track soooo much it is my favortie sport above all others and wil miss it dearly when i go to college. I know theres a high chance i wont make the track team at UVU but if i did, that would literally be a dream come true.

Home Sweet Home

Well hello! I have never been good at keeping a journal so my new goal is to hopefully keep this blog up to date even if it is just a little bit a day. I think i have about a dozen of half filled journals, but ever since girls camp a couple years ago i have been pretty constant at keeping one. But hey better late then never right? I may also  warn you that my grammar and spelling is atrocious but i promise to do my best.

Well to kick off this blog i guess i will give you a long story short of my VER BUSY not much fun but very productive good week. I had presidants week off from school so mom and i went up to Utah to look at my options for school. We seriously were up at 7am gone by 7:30 and home by 8 at night if not later. My college options were BYU, U of U, UVU. Utah Valley was my top choice and by friday the school i was going to go to. No doubts about it! But then i met with the lady from Utah State who threw a wrench in my plans. ( dont get  me wrong she was just the cutest sweetest most helpfull lady ever, i actualy loved her)

Growing up i had always known that i wanted to do one of  two things which is either be an Elementary School teacher or a Special Ed teacher. Later on after many great opportunity's of working with kids with disability's  i know that this is my calling God gave me. I was sent to earth to work with these amazing daughters and sons of God. My plan was to attend Utah Valley University and after my first two years enter a distance program Utah State offered where i could stay at Utah Valley and get my degree in special ed. This would have been perfect since my Sophomore Year Alex would be back from his mission and attending University of Utah and most likely Alycia nad Trevor would be at BYU. But as it turns out the distance program is only for Mild to Moderate ( for those who don't know that would be learning stratergies level kids who are high functioning) i want to work with kids that are severe (low functioning) . But that program is only offered at the school in Logan.

I now have a choice that ive got to make which is very hard, here are my options:

Option One: Attend the Utah Valley for two years then transfer over to Utah State.
Option two: Attend Utah Valley for one year then transfer to Utah State
Option Three: Go straight to Utah State

Once i got home i made a pros and cons list of each school.

UVU
pros: 2
-Nearby my siblings
-great school
-oppurtunity to run Track (the track coach talked to me when i was there (:  )
- smaller
- good provider for my needs
cons: 1
-would have to transfer after two years meaning i would have to leave friends made there 

USU
 Pros: 1
- Wouldnt have to transfer meaning not having to leave my friends
-somewhat close to my siblings
- provides my program ( actualy top 15 int he nation and best in all of Utah for there special ed program)
- college town
-heard to be pretty

Cons: 2
- hour and 10mins from siblings
- no track oppurtunity

Though this is a very hard decision to make i have a strong testimony in Prayer and i know what ever option i choose will work out some way for me. Plus i am very excited to be nearby my siblings when i go and look forward to it alot. I am also just SO HAPPY to be home i missed it alot. I hadnt seen my dad for two weeks and missed him alot. But this trip DEFINATLY made me be very gratefull for the mom i had. She had first sacraficed the amazing oppurtunity to go see Germany with my dad and was above and beyond oragnized and had everything planned and ready for the trip. She had set up all the appointments needed for the whole week had every file there in her hand copys made and all that they would ever need and had done her research for all so knew what to ask and what to get done beforer i believe they even knew. But hey that is my super hero mommy!!! i will definatly miss her when i go to college.

While we where there we stayed with the Sanchezes. I LOVE THAT FAMILY!!! i use to baby sit their five little girls and it is just CRAZY! to see how beautifull and grown up theyve become. Brianna was the sweetest amd stayed up late with me lots to play and talk and Molly mayed the best dinenr and breakfasts ever and and sweet Laurel gave up her room for us. The on the way back we decided to split up the trip and stop for the night in St. George where we stayed with Sister Havertz who bent over backwards to make sure we were happy and our needs where taken careof. She was so sweet and so cute and jsut hilarious and fun to be with. Tahnk you to all those that help everything get to togethar and done what needed to be done. I am just so happy to finanly be home and actualy very excited to go to school tomorrow. Track tryouts are as well starting tomorrow wooohooo!!! GO HURDLES!!!!
