Life is Good!!

Well I got my wish I was able to go on at road trip and have a vacation!! I went to Calgary Alberta, Canada! I left Wednesday night with my friend Jen, and three others. We made a short stop in Idaho Falls and got to look at the Temple and grabbed something to eat. It was really awesome to get to see the Idaho Falls Temple at night! Driving through Montana at night was pretty neat; the stars were so beautiful that it made me want to cry! As we were driving through Montana we see this white light on the mountain, so my friend Kar and I were wondering what it was; and in the back seat Jen kept on saying that it was Mary, but we thought that she was talking about something else, so finally I asked Jen, "Jen what is that big bright light on the mountain," and she says "It's Mary," and then it finally dawns on us that it's a statue of the the Virgin Mary on the mountain; and we just start cracking up laughing, it was so funny!! Then we got into Alberta around 5am and it was freezing cold!! Then we got into Calgary, and we got fed breakfast at one of Jen's friends house, which was really nice! Then I went with Jen and we visited some of her family which was a lot of fun! Jen and I got fed dinner at her brother's house and then they taught me how to play poker, we only played for fun though! I won a few hands! Jen and myself had fun with her nieces and nephews at her brothers house, jumping on the trampoline, I have forgotten how much fun a trampoline is.

Then the next day we went to the Calgary Olympic Park where they have the ski jumps and the bobsled track, and that was neat; they also had a Hall of Fame and a Museum. Then I went with Jen and her mom and we watched Angels and Demons; and then we went out to dinner along with Jen's dad to Montana's; the food was to die for! It was so yummy, we so need a Montana's in the valley!! Then I with Jen to a friends house and we played a game and that was a lot of fun. So Saturday we went to Banff National Park and it was so beautiful!! First though we stopped at Cougar Creek and we went on a hike and we also got to play in the water which was fun, I did get a sun burn. Then we finally got to Banff and had dinner; the down town area looks like Jackson Hole. Then we finally got to see some sites. We saw the Bow Falls and the Banff Springs Hotel, and Lake Moraine and Lake Louise both of the lakes were still frozen but still very pretty, at least I thought both lakes were still very beautiful! Then we went back to Calgary to go to bed.

Sunday woke up and went to Jen's student ward that she was in before she moved to Utah. Jen and I went to a fireside. After the fireside we went over to one of her friends place and played catch phrase and what's yours like, so it was a fun night, and over all a good Sunday! Then Monday we went to the Calgary Zoo and that was really cool, and a lot of fun, we didn't have time to see all of it. Then we were going to leave that Monday night, but my friend Jen got sick so we didn't leave until Tuesday morning. So the drive back down was cool; and I am happy that I got to see some of the Montana mountains in the day light. Montana is just beautiful!!!

I happy that I got to go to Alberta, and I met some really amazing people while I was up there! I would really love to go back again this year if I could. But with school in the fall I don't think I will be able to go again until next year, which makes me a little sad; I would really like to go up there again and see the Calgary stampede that I keep hearing about! Also I would really like to see all the people that I got to know, again! Ok so I know that this says I posted on Thursday, but it should really say Sunday May 31, 2009!

Still Standing After Change!!

Friday I went to work came home I didn't feel like going to the gym, so I just stayed home and watched movies on the TV. Saturday I slept in really late then I got up did some errands and then I went shopping I found some stuff that I really like though I need to take back a pair of jeans and get a different pair. So Saturday was an alright day I just wish I had other plans with friends but alas I didn't, so then I went home and got some stuff ready for Sunday. Then I tried to go to sleep but I couldn't shut my mind off so I only got like 5 hours of sleep last night.

Today I got up got ready for church I was a little late for church, but not to late church was good though I am really going to miss one of my friends that left today for Florida for an internship, I love that girl like a sister, it is going to hard not having her here anymore! The mingle was good Then I went to guess who's coming to dinner and that was good. Then I went out with my two new friends in my ward to another friends house. That was fun, their were some hot boys there!

Well I would really love to go out of town this week or at least get out of the city, but it all depends on if I can get work off especially on Friday! Well I will just go into work tomorrow and see. So I like two of my guy friends one doesn't seem to be into me as much as I am in to him, and I don't know about the other one yet I haven't really flirted with him yet so I will probably know soon that is if I get the courage to flirt with him!

Well one of my friends is still causing a few problems in my life and I don't like it. Even though it's not as bad as it was before. So thank goodness things are getting a little better. It makes me hurt though that this friend doesn't want to fix things, cause if this friend would things in this friends life would be so much better. Then this friend wouldn't have feel like they need to run away from things all the time. This friends just needs to stand and face things head on!

Also another thing that has been on my mind a lot lately is my grandparents. I miss them so much and wish they were here with me to share in my life with me! I would give anything in the world (well within reason) to be able to talk to them for a few hours, or to just call them up on the phone and tell them I miss them and love them so very much! I thank my Heavenly Father so much for allowing them to be in my life for at least 16 years! And I thank him for allowing Michaella to come in my life and become like a sister to me before she had to leave for Florida! Also I thank my Father in Heaven for my good friend Angela Jones, cause I think if she didn't leave to move back to Texas we would not have become so close like sisters. Many things have changed in my life lately and I welcome the change because for the most part the change has been good!!

Good Times!!

So this week has been good for the most part, the weather has been good. Monday I got to go to FHE, and that was a lot of fun we picked up trash along the Jordan River Parkway and we go to play on the play ground. Then some of my friends from the ward and I went bowling my first score was 58 and then I got 108. So not bad I wish I could have beaten my score of 124! Then after bowling we went to IHop, and the pancakes are yummy!

Tuesday I slept in and then went to work, then after work I went out with a few friends from my ward then came home and I went to bed! Wednesday slept in again and then went to work. I was going to go to the gym but I decided not to. Today I over slept, I went to work, and I actually had fun at work. Then I went to the gym and that was good.

I have lost another 2lbs making a total of 21lbs that I have lost now! Lets just hope I can keep it off, so far I have been able to. Now that I have 21 gone that leaves 9 more to go!

Tomorrow I have a lot of things that need to get done. I need to get my brother a birthday gift and get some starburst for a party after work if it doesn't fall through. I need to get my nails done and hopefully I can get a job application. Then off to work I go. If I don't go to a party tomorrow night then I will go to the gym, maybe, it depends on how tired I am. I met a new guy and I like him a lot, he is taller and older than me which I like and we have a lot in common. So I will just have to keep at it, we are good friends now so hopefully it will turn into something more! But we will see, it may take some time for him to realize that I like him more than a friend!

Partly Cloudy!!

So then sun it seems to have gone behind a cloud again. I was hoping for the sun to stay out longer this time. It makes me sad and a little hurt again to see the sun go away from me. But I know now that the sun has to disappear in order for me to appreciate the sun being out; it has to leave me sometimes! Even though I was hoping for the sun to stay out longer for good long time. I guess there is still something that I need to learn. I know that I need trials in order to survive in this life. This life is hard but that is the way it's always going to be, it's the only way it will be worth it. It's the only way to get back home to live with God the Father and Jesus Christ and to become Gods and Goddesses like Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

I feel like I am running out of ideas. I still have a few more but will it be enough? I have had this constant poking ever since February to not give up on my life to keep going, hope has helped me to keep on going. It has been awesome knowing that I can get through my trials, and I am not afraid of them anymore. I know that being me is enough and that I need to focus on others, because it makes me forget about my self and I love it. Because then I am not depressed all the time and it helps me to stay happy and loving life!

Ok so Friday I went and ran some errands for my mom and then I went to work. At work I find out that I am working the next day and I had already made plans to go and get pedicures and get my hair done. So since I couldn't find anyone to cover my Saturday work shift I asked for Monday off and I got it off. But I had to cancel a few things and then rearrange things around so that I could go to work and still go to my family wards mother, daughter dinner and still go and watch movie with some of my friends. So Saturday was crazy day but good work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The mother, daught dinner was good I got to see my little sister and her husband and I got to see my older sister as well. My brother in-law was so funny the Young Women were taking kids for rides in a wagon and my brother in-law got in line and actually went for a ride in the wagon it was so hilarious!

Then I went to a movie with friends we went out to Jordan Landing and watched the X-Men and it was pretty good not bad. Then we went to a friends house and played on the Wii and talked then we all went home to go to bed. Then today I got up and went to a friends baby blessing and then I went to my ward and I was on time for once! Went to all meetings and then I went to the mingle I made a new friend and that was cool. I have tomorrow off and I am going to get a pedicure and then I am going to FHE I am so excited! So I guess the sun is out I just have to look around long enough to find it.
