First Day of School

Well again I find myself at the beginning of a new semester....Granted this one is going to be a lot shorter then all of the other semesters but it still means homework....tests....minor stress. However I can bask in the knowledge that I will be completing my very last General Education class....PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!

This summer should be full of adventures if I have anything to do with it. Last weekend Rashelle came down and we went out to the lake....in a thunder and lightning storm. We almost blew clear across Quail Lake on our floaties. It was a workout to say the least to get us back to shore. We decided chilling in Rashelle's hotel pool would be a little less work. Sorry I forgot to take pictures. I'll try to remember.

Also this summer I've got my Ultimate Frisbee day back!!!!!! I'm so excited! Made a lot of new friends and have had fun running up and down the field getting hit in the head, throwing my hip out...although I haven't dove for the frisbee yet but I'm optimistic. That should leave some good war wounds :) I'm just hoping the weather starts to cooporate. No more of this wind stuff :(

Hope everyone's summer is going well. Love reading about your summer adventures. I'll try to do better this summer about posting stuff on here. Life has just been totally crazy for the last half of the year....OH Well what do you do

London 2009

Here are some pictures of my london trip. If you don't want to wait through all the pictures they are also on my facebook page if you have access to that.

ITS OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just signed up for the last 4 classes of my college career!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to almost be done! Life has proven crazy with everything that has been going on this last month. I'm getting all of my final projects done for my classes which include my portfolio and my own typeface. I've been working the past few weeks at my new internship out at Red Mountain Spa (which has been going very very well btw). I applied for the summer RA up at chancellor to help out with the expenses of staying down here for the summer. I passed the reading test to get me into My LAST history GE required class! All around a pretty good week so far. Busy as all get out but good non the less.

Super Heros!

Well I guess it would be better to say Super Heroins as tonight I would like to express my thanks to all the hard working mothers out there. As I'm starting to finish up a very very long day of work...including that of homework from 2am to 6am then school from 10am-4:30pm(with work in the middle), a church even from 5-10pm, small half hour break to do my nails and relax, and then cleaning my house in preparation for spring break and also my roommates parents that are arriving....I am exhausted but I realize that this is only one day of my life... and then I got to thinking about all that moms do. Moms are the master of being on top of things and I'm so appreciative of what they do. Somehow they have the energy to be able to get up everyday and take care of kids with all their activities, making food, cleaning house, etc. I don't know how they do it. All I know is that I've had about a Pepsi and a half to get me through today.

Moms, my Mom as the head of the mom list, are seriously gifts from God. I don't know how they manage to get everything done and are still sane to not want to kill everyone. I've learned some much from my mom and from other motherly figures in my life that I tell you. The tender loving hugs to let you know that the world is a harsh world but there is always a place close to her heart. They know where everything is even if somehow the house is eaten it....they go to battle in retrieving the lost items. The service they render to any and all, especially to their families. Cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, all without complaint. They travel long distances to help out for a weekend when things seem to be down in the dumps. Letters and packages always seem to arrive at the moment that I need them the most...always with loving words of encouragement.

How can one being have so much love for people who make messes and not clean up after themselves? I guess it comes from the simple sweet moment between family members that make it all worth it. After being in college for these past 4 years...being an RA, and living with roommates I'm gaining those qualities that I've seen my Mom share with me and learning the joy behind it. The simple appreciation for acts done fill my heart with joy...and even just knowing that you helped out someone who might have been having a rough day.

So without falling asleep at my computer I would just like to again say Thank you for being YOU! Teaching me so many things :)


PS...Sorry this is so long....But thanks for reading :)

Oh so TRUE!!!

Some days just feel like this. Everyone has them I'm sure but lately this has been the state of my life.....lol I really do think its the warm sunny weather. All I want to do is go out and play :) I'm like a little kid when it comes to spring.

Spring Fever!

So this weekend I got spring fever way bad. It was like 70 degrees and I had to get out and enjoy it. I also had the need for making things grown.....so I went out and bought myself a little garden...


I swear I have the most random moments in my life. My garden as you can see is doing very well though so far.....I bought them that way. I figured I couldn't kill them so easily if they were doing well to begin with. I'm really hoping they don't die on me. I think I get my love of making things grow from my dad. Every year he plants this huge garden and I love going out and roaming the rows of different plants. So with my dad's help I'm hoping to keep this little guys alive and looking well so I can use them for my cooking :)
