Rainy Nights and a life of [insert word here]

*Random thought of the day: "Being Happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look upon the imperfections." This is my quote for the week, that I'm going to try and remember. I need to remember it because its truly the only way I can carry on through my life, no matter how tough things might get sometimes. The End.* In the words of my roommate Katie, "OH Life...." Basically that can sum it all up believe it or not. I have been annoyingly busy. So much that I finally really stressed out for the first time this semester. I know-good thing I waited til mid semester right? Well, I just had a little breakdown this weekend, due to everything piling up, having the emotions of a girl, and totally losing control of my prioritization skills. Happens right? Of course right! But hey, I got a little help from a wonderful Priesthood blessing tonight, and I'm thinkin I'm gonna be ok:) My classes are just crazy as usual. I love the things I'm learning though, and really trying hard to do well and focus. And work. Ah good ol' Kmart....I continue to work part time there-often consisting of closing one night and opening the very next. And mostly weekends, but I still get much of my weekends free to play. I mean uh...do homework...and clean and do laundry....BA! Yeah right. Only sometimes! Well anyway, lets get to the gist of some of the "fun" stuff i've been involving myself in...Yes. I'm wearing flip flops and my winter jacket. I can't stay away from the flip flops!!!!!!!!! Its an addiction.... What you see before your eyes above, is probably not what you think it is.....yeah. We had a shaving cream fight for Family home evening. We rule.These are from a date me and Laine went on...with two boys...not each other:) We went to a creepy haunted straw maze. ah....good times...though scary! Guitars unplugged-show at BYUI of different bands...some good, some bad-good times though with my friend Anthony!Well besides having a grand ol time at BYUI......I carry on doing nothing else and trying to make it alive through this semester! Have a GREAT week everyone! TTFN!

Reasoning with my Life in General...

*Random Thought of the Day: "If you work hard, you'll be happy. If you don't, you'll go to Hell."- Brigham Young. Well said Brigham! A little to the extreme, but point made. The End."

Well all you people who just love reading my blog. Update you say? Here it is!
I've been having the time of my life at BYUI! Ok, so i'm in over my head with my crazy schedule, but I'm hangin in.....my classes are crazy. I'm writing a paper one day, taking a test the next, and practicing one hour, and studying the next. It's nuts...oh and of course working 2-3 days a wk for a least a few hours a shift. But, I have managed to keep a social life, involving my sport of raquetball and keeping up with my awesome tv shows! Ah... I don't know how I do it all.
Here's some of my latest adventures......
First of all, I got to hold and see my very first Idaho Potato...big ones too!
Yeah. I know right? They tasted delish! Now, you can all call me potato girl.

Other adventures.....got to go to conference last weekend which was excellent! I really truly love Salt Lake City...minus the getting lost part, which, always seems to happen....but hey-it was fun hanging out with my cousins-Sheree and Brent and of course Aunt Kathi and Uncle Ray and the rest of their fam!Girls night during priesthood session.....um....I wont even explain....:)

I also loved being on Temple Square! Its truly one of my favorite places to be!
Something really exciting that happened Saturday Night.....while in the Joseph Smith building hanging out with my friend Reed, we were on the top floor and were getting ready to go back down the elevator when someone very special came walking down the hallway......
I'm serious. Neil A. Anderson, from the quorum of the 12 apostles was in the JS Building. He was with his son and a couple of other people and Reed and I recognized him right away. We shook his hand, introduced ourselves, and then rode the elevator down with him, having a short conversation. SO awesome! I recently made a bucket list, and on that list was "meet and have a conversation with an Apostle." SCORE! It made my whole weekend! And its something I wont forget!
It was a really fun weekend and we got to go to the Saturday Afternoon Session live. I also ran to some old friends from EA around temple square! It was awesome! Good times.....
Well, nothing too much else is happening. I'm loving it here and doing my best! Hope you all are great! TTFN!
