After spending $560.60 at the book store I got a free water-bottle!
Awesome.

Bliggity Blog Birthday
Today is this blogs 1st Birthday.
A year ago today I sat in the massive hallway in the LA building @ UVU and posted my very first blog entry. After a month or so of toying with the idea of starting my blog, I got over my insecurities and questions of "What would I write?" and "Who would want to read my silly thoughts?" and decided to just go for it.
I am so very glad that I did.
Recently, I went back through all my posts and relived each of the moments that I wrote about. I love that each one has a meaning to it and nothing was posted out of obligation for having a blog. The small and silly moments that would probably be long forgotten by now are safe and secure in my little blog world where I can easily return to them when a smile is needed.
As for my original goal when I started this thing: to get healthy physically and feel more confident about myself, can definitely be checked off as a success.
In 2010 I went from the worst to the best physical state in my life. As I worked at being happier and healthier (loosing 25 pounds along the way) I found a new love for who I am and who I am working on becoming.
Having a place to but each milestone along the way was reason enough for having this blog.
And now on to 2011...
I originally thought of having my word for the year to be ENDURE.
As I thought about more, I liked it less.
I want to do so much more than endure through this next chapter in my life.
I want to love every moment and be excited for what comes next.
Enduring through school, work and life in general sounds, to me, like I would just be merely scrapping by until it was all over. I don't like the sounds of that.
So as much as I wish I did, I guess I don't really have one word to focus on this year.
Not yet.
I will still work on it though.
For now I will just be loving each day,
treasuring each letter from a certain missionary in Tucson,
adoring each second with beautiful nieces,
absorbing as much knowledge as possible,
and being grateful for the amazing life I get to live.
So my trial run of having a blog has proved a success.
On to round 2!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve
Best present so far: Straight A's
All my hard work paid off and I am so proud of my first semester in the Elementary Education Program.
The success of this past semester has given me hope and motivation for the rest of the program.
The present I am looking forward to the most: Talking to Reese on Saturday!
Life is so Good!

counting down
Only 2 finals left.
So far, finals have gone great: all 5 of them.
I got a 97% on my Educational Psychology final today. Celebration!
I still have lots to do before tomorrow so I better get to it...
Elder Turner has been out 2 weeks but who's counting?
The second that finals are done I can start on a Christmas package and get it sent of to Tucson!
And get some sewing done.
And some missionary scrap-booking.
And some crafting.
And some Christmas shopping.
And some chillin' with friends.
And some time with the cutest nieces.
And some forgetting that January 3rd will be here sooner than I want to admit.
Okay, I really am going to do my homework now...
