Well, a lot has happened since the last time I blogged! I am going to keep it short though...James. I went to visit James in Montana. We had a great time. We were getting really close. James continued to say that we were going to get married in Winter etc etc. I got home from Montana on a Sunday night. The following day (Monday) James and I talked he said that he thought it would be better for both of us if we didn't do the long distance thing. I agreed, but I was actually very upset. Here is the thing about me though, I don't let my heart stay broken. I pick up all the pieces and move on. That night (Monday) I went to the gym on campus and saw a really REALLY cute guy from my ward and he was totally checking me out. I went to the gym Tuesday, that same boy...checking me out...and he came over and talked to me for a bit. Wednesday, I went to the gym, the boy in my ward (Ryan) was checking me out again (haha) then he came and laid on the mats next to me while I was doing ab exercises. We got talking and he ended up inviting me over to his apartment. He was very cool, easy going, OH and he put his arm around me (woosh, fast mover haha). Thursday, we went star gazing and that was SO neat. I saw at least 10 shooting stars. Friday, we watched a movie and he said that we were dating. I went from being heart broken to having the hottest boy in Rexburg (for now haha).
That Friday I picked my mom up from the airport and we drove to Las Vegas. It was SO nice to be home. There is a feeling that I get around my family that I haven't been able to feel since I had seen them. It may have been gas (haha), but I think it was just safety and unconditional love. I had really missed them. That whole week was amazing.
The night that my mom and I got into town, we went and picked up our copies of Breaking Dawn. OH MY GOSH! AMAZING! I am literally obsessed. I have major problems. I was crying during parts of the book, laughing, giggling, screaming. Ok, you get the point. The characters have really become like my best friends. AAA - I am such a wierdy! But, Bella is my age and I feel like I can understand her and holy cow...HOLY COW! I am in love with Edward. The series ended so perfectly and I am so glad that Stephenie Meyer wrote those books. The story is absolutely incredible!
Back to the real world...actually Twilight exists - in my heart HAHA...we went to the beach and went camping with my grandparents and aunt (what an adventure). In a nut shell there was sun, sleeping in the back of a car in a Wal-Mart parking lot, getting kicked out of a Wal-Mart parking lot, crying Koreans, 100 degree sleeping conditions, sleeping underneath an underpass, sun, FOOD FOOD FOOD, and then we came home haha. It was amazing! That week went by so fast. I got to visit my two best friends, Daniela and Nikki. That was so fun! They are awesome! But, I really wish I would've had more time with my family. I love that family of mine! They are so great!
I'm back in Rexburg now. I'm working for the grounds crew at BYU-I! It has been very hard on me. I am a city girl not a landscaper haha. I have been struggling a lot lately. I feel like I have goals and places to be going in life, but I am at a stand still. I can't go to school in the fall because I'm "off-track" which means I am not getting any closer to a degree. I can work, but I am having a really hard time finding a good job. I can date, but I have lost the desire to date...totally not like me...but for some reason I just don't think it's very important to me right now. I want to get an education and prepare myself for marriage, but I don't want to be on the prowl all the time (haha). Oh, that reminds me, things didn't work out with that guy Ryan in my ward - oh well!
I am going to continue to live righteously and try to follow the path that Heavenly Father would have me walk, but I think I am hitting some bumps in my road. Trials are meant to make us stronger and bring us closer to our Savior so as I am facing this time in my life and I going to strive to be worthy of His help.
I love you all! I miss you! Thanks for all you have done and are doing for me!
