Learning Lessons and Having a Blast

"I know I'm somebody, cause God don't make no junk."

~Unknown

I love this quote and it helps me to remember that I am me and no one can change who I am.

I was recently reminded that I am special in my own way and that no one can change who I am because I am me. I no that I'm not perfect but no one is but we all must remember that we are just right or "perfect" for one person. We might be the perfect friend for someone or yes even the perfect sibling.

It doesn't matter what someone has done in the past it only matters that what ever a person did in the past that they learned a lesson from it and have grown to be a better person. I know that I have learned from my past mistakes, I am who I am today because of my past and if it wasn't for my past who knows where I would be or if I would be what I am now.

I must say that I have a great and amazing friend who has helped me to realize that I am special in my own ways and I hope that this friend knows that they are special too.

Take time to listen to people and people will take time to listen to you.

Thank you to the friend who has done this for me.

Now on to more of what I've done lately...

Spring Break was fun this past week I got to hang out with my cousins Lizy, Kylee, and Corbin on Easter and it was so much fun.

Corbin I have decided has a great new friend because he has met Sam and is always talking about Sam and asking me when he will see Sam again. 

Over break I went to a full day of work and was exhausted after working all day Tuesday but it was well worth my time.

I hung out with my friend Sam a few times during the week and we had a blast and I laughed a lot this week with him. It was lots of fun to hang out with him and be around him he made me smile and laugh constantly I loved it:)

I played lots of card games during break and I cleaned my house and went on walks almost everyday

I also did something I never thought I would do

I drank clay (4 times) it was well lets just say it was interesting its really not that bad to drink if you mix if with fruit juice:)

Its supposed to help keep you healthy or something like that and helps wounds to heal faster.

More of what I did:

I watched movies

I played games

 I hung out with Sam 

I went on walks

I took a couple pictures

 I chased Corbin around my grandmas yard and then Sam would free him

 I attempted to do a rip stick and fell

 I jumped on the tramp a lot

 I stayed up late nearly every night

I hiked a mountain

In all it was a super fun break

All in all we had lots of fun and we laughed a lot through out the night.

We were a little hyper:)

Random Thoughts

Well for those who don't know... I got an answer from Matt awhile ago and he said yes that he would like to go to the dance with me. Next the dance is this Saturday and I can't wait because it should be fun!

Also what do you do when you love someone so much and you see them hurting and you feel like you need to do more to show them that you care about them? I hope that in the situation I'm in that I have shown that love and caring to this person in my life enough that he knows I care about him and would do anything for him. Now all I can do is pray for this person that he will start to feel better soon and wont have to hurt any longer. 

Side note:

I went to the Provo Temple this morning and it was an amazing experience that I got to have with Todd Raffensparger and Eric Shute. I felt at peace there and like everything was going to be okay and all would work out in my life and my future. 

The new semester is great so far and I'm enjoying digital photo class

I love choir as usual

I am in Love

I have been busy with tons of homework

I got to have the best sleepover ever with Whitney:)

Family Life is alright

Samantha got asked out to sweethearts dance and I helped in the process of asking her

I got a 90% on my Chemistry Test!

I think that about covers all thats been happening in my life lately.

so yes this was a random post but I thought I should update you all.

Footprints InThe Sand

Footprints In the Sand

One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."
...Mary Stevenson

Always know the Lord loves each and everyone of us and he helps us through our trials even when we feel alone, He is there and carries us through our trials in life.

Update on Preference

For those who don't already know Kennen already has a date for Preference and so now I have asked Matt Owens and I am still waiting for an answer from him on if he would like to go with me or not. I will say I have my dress already and its beautiful I can't wait for the dance.

Getting Caught

Preference is the next dance and I decided to ask Kennen Brooks.

I asked him by giving him doughnuts that I made while putting my name in the middle of one of the doughnuts.

 Well I went and doorbell ditched them at his door and a little kid caught me and told Kennen exactly where I was hiding! I was lucky and Kennen didn't come out and confront me. Now I'm just hoping for a yes otherwise I do the whole process of asking someone out to the dance again.

Just a hint to everyone when you ask someone out on a date, never do it when the person your asking has company over at their house like I did.

I was embarassed and learned my lesson of don't ask if they have company over.
