Greatful for...

This blog I thought it would be fun to let you all know 10 things that I am greatful for...
1) My mom- she is my best friend. I would not be full filling my goals if she did not have faith in me.
2) My sister- she is another one of my best friends. I have always tried to be what she could be proud to call me her sister. I love her so much.
3)Trysten- my wonderful nephew. Hearing him over the phone and and saying my name. I love him and hope the very best for him
4)School- even if I am not happy to do all that school wants me to do I am greatful to be able to go to school. Each class pushes me to do my very best.
5)food- with all of the people in the world I am glad that there is enough food for me to eat.
6)homes/apartments- There are a lot of people in the world that don't have a roof over their head and so I am very greatful that I am not one of those people.
7)Friends- without friends and family we would be a lone in this world.
8) Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints- I feel like I am worth something when I go to church not just another number of world.
9) Entertainment- If we did not have entertainment such as good wholesome movies, books and games we would be doing work all of the time.
10- and last but not least I am greatful to be alive- I love the chance I have to learn and grow in everyway I can to be come a better person.

Update on my life

I wanted to give you and update on my life. I am going to school at USU in Logan, Utah. I am applying for the Education Program in July. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. Once I start the program it will take me 3 semesters and a summer to finish and then I will graduate. For the last 23 months I have been an auntie of a beautiful boy named Trysten. My sister is now pregnant with her second child. I am so excited to be an aunt again. Her due date is September 3rd. I am hoping for another boy for Trysten to play with, but I would also like a little girl. Whichever will be exciting to have another baby around. I am still single, but I did go on a blind date this last Friday and it was a blast. However I don't know if him (Ryan) and I will be more than just good friends. But that is okay I like getting more friends. I have three crazy roommates. Two of them are really good at listening and telling people what they think and the other one is just good at telling people what they think and not being around the apartment. I think it is so weird that I have three roommates when for the years that I was at ISU in Pocatello I only had one awesome roommate. Anyways this semester I am taking 15 credits. 2 of my classes are really fun and exciting to go to. the other three I dread going to every day I go. Last week I took my first math test and I got it back on Friday and I had gotten an 88% on it. I was so excited. Right now the dishwasher in my apartment is us yes us the occupants of this apartment is doing the dishes. This is because for the last week and a half every time we use the dishwasher it floods our kitchen. So until the management can figure out what is going on or get us a new dishwasher my roommate and I will be the dishwasher. Except two of my roommates and I don't like that idea so we went out last night and then we went to walmart and got paper plates and things. I have succeed in getting my roommate Jen and kind of Alecia addicted to Charmed the television show that I have been addicted to since my last roommate Daylin got me addicted. We watch my seasons on DVD more than regular television. Last night my roommate Christi from last semester came to see us. So I bugged all my roommates almost day until we got a picture. because last semester when she was actually my roommate we procrastinated it. So finally 10 minutes before she walked out the door at 12:45 a.m I got my picture. So anyways that is what is going on in my life at this time. If you want to know more just ask some questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability. So I must go now and do more with my life than just play on my computer. O that is another thing. My roommate Jen and I love playing on our computers while we watch Charmed, or other things. I hope you all have a wonderful week, month, year, or at least until I post again.

FINALLY

All last semester (Fall 2007) I tried to get my roommates Christi Olcott, Jen Shino, and Alecia Baldwin to pose for a picture with me so I could know who my first roommates were in Logan. And on 2-09-08 Christi came back to visit and I finally got the picture(s) before Christi went back to Salt Lake.

Date of the pictures

The day started out with doing homework and going to class. When I was done with class I drove back to my apartment and showered and blew dryed my hair. And my two roommates and my friend Emily did my hair. Then when Ryan Jensen got to my apartment we took some pictures and then we went and picked up Lindsay and her date John. And then we picked up my date Ryan Barry. Then we went to Cherri's (my IWA advisor) to have dinner with my IWA group. Then we went to the dance at the Institute. We danced almost the whole entire time. It was so fun.

Package

After all of my classes were done I was sitting around my apartment and the UPS man came to the door with this package. I opened it and found many little things for me and the frog that sings and dances. And so little things for my friend Emily. Thanks MOM!!!

Friday 1st of February

Friday February 1st was a really busy but good day. I went to my moring classes then my friend Emily and I drove to Salt Lake City to go to President Hinckley's viewing. When we got there we went to visit my Grandma Clark and to change our clothes. It was good to see her. Then once we changed then Emily and I walked to the Conference Center. We could tell as we got closer that it was going to take some time to get to see President Hinckley but we thought it was going to be worth it. So we stayed, and 4 hours later we had seen a movie on President Hinckley and taken a short nap, walked past President Hinckley and was headed back to the car. The movie was his celebration of his 95th birthday. Even though it was 4 hours of waiting and only 1 minute walking past the prophet of the church is was totally worth it. I was glad that I did this. When we got back to the car we drove to Emily's family's house to eat dinner with them. After we ate we went swimming at the town's swimming place inside a building. Then we went back to Emily's house and hung out for a little bit and then we went to bed. We woke up and I joined Emily's family for the family morning pray and then Emily and I got ready and left to go back to Logan. The trip was well worth my time and gas for the car. I had a great time.
