A Friend!

So Friday was a lot of fun I woke up went to institute then went to the temple. Went home then went shopping then to work. Then off to April's house to watch movies and eat pizza!!! Saturday cleaned house did visiting teaching then off to Relief Society Conference! Got to see a really good friend and then went to Leatherby's and other good friends came as well. So it was a really fun weekend!!!!!!!!

Well a good friend of mine from work moved back home to Canada. I haven't heard much from him, he was like a brother to me and now that he is gone, it's like he doesn't know me at all. So not fair, he said he would get on facebook more and we would be able to talk. Cause at work we would talk all the time, and now it's like we never were friends. What's up with that I really don't understand he was like an actual brother to me I really loved the brother, sister relationship that we had. How come now that he is gone that he talks to all his other friends that he left behind, but doesn't talk to me. It really makes me sad that he won't respond to my messages now. I really valued his friendship!!

I guess it's another reason why I have such an amazing visiting teacher, she makes me feel included and I don't feel so left out in the ward and outside of the ward. She is a true friend and lets me call her whenever I feel like it, and she doesn't get sick of me or make me feel like she needs to hang out with this person more when I am around. She is like another sister to me, just like 6 of my other bestest friends are!

Utah Fall!!

So winter is coming which will be exciting but I don't want the sun to set at 5pm; and the darkness to come. I mean don't get me wrong I love the winter season and I love Christmas; I like Thanksgiving and the snow! But I don't like it when the snow melts and it's just cold and dark! At least conference is coming and that is always so good and a good friend is coming for a short visit this weekend! School is over with for this week!

Also my visiting teacher is going to come over; and visit teach me and then we are going to play or have an adventure of some kind! Also I am going to go to the temple tomorrow so that is a bonus! I still really love my institute class and I wish could stay longer at FHE! I wish I didn't have to wake up for school. I wish I didn't have a headache right now.

Well fall is finally here in Utah well at least northern Utah, and I am excited for the leaves to change colors and to be able to have the windows rolled down because it's no longer hotter than 80 degrees! I love the way the air feels and smells it's so crisp and clean; and when we have thunderstorms in the fall it's awesome! Also Halloween is coming and I admit I like Halloween it's my 3rd favorite holiday! Well sorry the post is short I don't really have much else to say!

Laughter with Friends!!

So I have been going to the temple every week which has been awesome!! I am loving it!! It's also finally nice to have a really good friend in the ward; now I don't feel so out of place and it's also amazing that she likes to do things with me out side of church!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is awesome, and a true friend!!

School is good, work is not bad even though some days I just don't want to be there! It will be better when I can have my work hours from 8am to 4:30pm! Still hoping that something will happen so that I can change my work hours, any prayers would be helpful! I really need full time work!! It's so much fun going to FHE and going to Brother Wilcox's institute class! I don't like waking up for school though!

Saturday was a lot of fun, April and I went to a party then we went and got ice cream with a couple of guys in the ward, and it was so funny they thought that we were trying to trick them into a date with us! It was hilarious, ah it's fun to hang out with those two they really make me laugh a lot!! It was good to hang out with another good friend of mine at Barnes and Noble, we didn't buy anything which is amazing for us to do! But it was fun looking around the store I did find a lot of books that I want to buy though!! Well I am getting really sleepy so I am going to end my post now!!

Music!!

This one of my favorite songs it helps me when I am having a bad day!

Just A Ride Lyrics /Artist:Jem


Life, it's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
Then BANG
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
And then you

Breakdown
Yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride

Truth, we don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
Our way we

Breakdown
Yeah we breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared
Don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget it's just a ride

Slowly, oh so very slowly
Accept that
There's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
Coz this ride's, never gonna stop

Breakdown
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
No need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
Don't be scared now
Dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
But don't forget enjoy the ride

Fall Madness!

So I have a new visiting teacher and she is just awesome and the best ever! So I went boating with my ward which was so much fun, I got a darker tan which is always nice. We also had a BBQ which was yummy and I had so much fun with April! I went out on the boat twice and tubing is so much fun. It was good to get out and do something different for a change. I did also clean my room this month, which makes me so happy!

Well I thought I was over a guy that I was dating a month or so ago; but it turns out that I am not! But I am stronger than I seem. I will get through this, it will pass and probably sooner than I think it will. And I like two other boys in my ward; and with one of them it's really hard to be around, because a friend of mine likes him. So I say that I am a damsel, I am in distress and I will handle it; it will just be a little hard. But I know I need to go through this because it will help me in the long run!

So I started school last Thursday and it seems like it will be good, although half of the time this semester I will be so tired, I just need to get myself to bed earlier than I normally do. I am also going to FHE every Monday and going to work late shift. On Tuesday I have an institute class in the evening and it is a really fun class Brother Willcox is so funny and I am learning so much. I love my Tuesday night institute class! I also went to the temple this week which was amazing I am going to go every week. I am going to try to go on Thursdays so that I can sleep after school on Tuesday. Then I won't be so dead for work on Tuesday night.

I really hope I get my work hours changed from evening to morning soon I really need it with the way things are happening in my life and I really need full time instead of part time. It would just be the best thing ever to happen to me if I could work from 8am to 4:30pm!!!!!!!! Also summer is ending and that makes me so sad that the sun is going to set at 5pm again but I love the snow and the season that comes with it I just don't like the darkness that it brings, and the cold days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summer Vacation!!

Do you ever feel like when you go on a vacation and you love it so much, that when it's time to leave and go back home that you don't feel like you are going back home, but that you are leaving home instead. Well that's the way I felt after leaving my brother in law's uncle's cabin. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Being able to hear the wind in the trees and the grass and not have any city noise was awesome! I was sad to leave when it was over and I really did feel like I was leaving home. We got to drive the ATV's and I went on a couple of walks around the town, played pool and watched movies had fun in the hot spa, looked at the amazing stars at night and just had fun with the family!

Well my good friend Angela came to visit from Texas and brought her friend Katie along with her and it was awesome. We went to Leatherby's and then hiked Doughnut Falls, Silver Lake, and Twin Lakes. On the way back down from Twin Lakes I slipped and fell and got this huge cut on my left knee, but it wasn't too bad I would hike all day every day if I could and even with a big flesh wound. Then we went to Bear Lake, we played in the water and got sunburnt. Also on the way up to Bear Lake people were herding cattle it was awesome to watch! On the way back to home from Bear Lake we stopped and looked a the Logan Temple which was nice to see! We also went up Butterfield Canyon and had smores. The last night Katie and Angela were in town we went over to Camille's house and watched a movie ate popcorn and talked.

Sunday woke up early went with my family to the Oquirrh Temple dedication at 9am then went home and ate lunch then I went and took a nap. Had dinner with my parents and then we went to the city cemetary and looked at prophets and apostles graves that were there. It rained a little bit but not bad. The sunset was gorgeous!

I will miss Angela and Katie now that they have left, I had tonz of fun while they were here in Utah. I got to do a few things that I have been wanting to do all summer long. I am so happy that they were able to come and visit it was so good to see Angela again and it was fun to get to know Katie!!

School is going to start in a few days I confess I do want to go back to school, but I don't want to take tests or be graded on anything; if I could go to school like that I would be so happy for school to start instead of dreading that my summer is over. At least I have one thing to look forward to this week, on Saturday my student ward is having a boating activity so that should be tonz of fun!

Fun Summer!

Ok so I pretty much ready for school this fall semester! I don't have to buy any books so far which makes it even better!! So I want to see if I can get a job in my department during the morning, day hours. Because then I could go to FHE and I could go to the Temple more often and I could do my stake calling; and life would just be so much more easier to handle. So I just need to wait until my supervisor comes back and then I can apply for the position. I would work from 8am to 12pm which would be so awesome; and then I could have my boss put my name down for a full time position and then when one opened up I could get that; and that would just be amazing so I hope this job change will happen soon at least by next Friday!

This Saturday is my family reunion on my mom's side it will be fun to see those that come! So it will be fun, we are going to Wastington Park and it will be fun to walk around and explore! Since my sister's husband has a uncle that owns a cabin we are going to the cabin next weekend with the whole family which will be so much fun! We get to go swimming and 4 wheeling and just be lazy and play games and eat food! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

So summer is ending and I must go back to school I am kind of happy to go back, but at the same time I am sad to see summer go. I love the summer it is my favorite season, I love the heat and the warm summer nights and being able to look at all the stars with no jacket on. I do need to go to the temple as soon as possible. In my personal reading I am in the 7th chapter of Moroni and in verse 41 it says "And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope throught the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." and that verse hit me so hard I had to got back and read it again; I just thought that verse was so amazing that if we just have hope and faith in the atonement of Christ that we can recieve the promise of eternal life! I am so thankfull for my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ for leading me in my life. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and I am so thankful for the guidence that it gives me! The summer so far has been a fun one and I have a lot of good memories!
