All 6 year olds should blog...

My 6 year old nephew asked his mom for a blog...so she has created one for him...and it is the best thing that has happened this Christmas season!

Here is a recent post:

He is doing this all by himself. This is a picture of him at 2 years old with his baby sister. He is HILARIOUS! Who would think of that?

He is so smart...I can only hope to have a kid this funny and smart.

The day I almost died...

December 8, 2012 is a day that changed my life. I was heading to a dance party that my sister, Lisa was throwing and was on the freeway. It had been snowing and the roads were icy. I was in fast lane, but felt I wanted to get out of the fast lane for fear I was going too fast. But it was too late...I hit a piece of black ice and went spinning. While spinning at one point I remember saying, "I'm going to die" out loud. I was facing the oncoming traffic and was seriously thinking it was the end of my life. I somehow made it to the left side of the road without being hit. My car was perpendicular to the oncoming traffic. While looking to my right I noticed that another car had hit the ice and was coming right for my car. I couldn't do anything. I just sat and waited for the car to hit.

Nothing could have prepared me for the impact or the noise of the crash. My body was whipped around and the car went flying forward. Finally it stopped--my hands were shaking, and I couldn't believe I was alive. I got my phone quickly and called my mom. While on the phone another car came and slammed into my car. The driver from that vehicle got out and came to me asking if I was okay. I was freaking out. No I wasn't okay! I started yelling at him, "Get back in your car! I have already been hit twice! Stay in your car!"

Several cars came and pulled over to check on the accident. At one point someone started yelling at me to call 911 and to call a towing company. In my mind I was so confused why no one else had called 911, and why me...the girl who had been hit twice was supposed to call? Also...I was stuck in my car...there was no way for me to get out since my side was against the freeway median.

So I called 911, and was the first one to report the accident. They asked if I need medical and I said no. However, soon after the phone call another guy came to me and asked if I was hurting anywhere. I told him my back was hurting and he told me he worked at the hospital and that I should stop moving. He then called for medical assistance.

Soon after paramedics arrived and they put me on a stretcher! I didn't even see my car. I was taken away in an ambulance. At the hospital they took x-rays and found nothing wrong. They told me ice lots and that if after a week if I was still in pain that I should seek physical therapy.

My parents were able to meet me at the hospital and when I was alone with my mom I finally broke down. This was the scariest thing of my life. When I fall asleep at night all I can do is picture the car coming towards me. Today while driving, my mom tapped her breaks in reaction to a car coming over--I started bawling. This has for sure shaken me up, but I'm so grateful to be alive. I'm so grateful the only thing really damaged was my car. I'm so grateful that my body will heal and that I will be able to function normally soon. Life is short...and we never know when something like this can happen. This Christmas season will be a memorable one. I know that angels were protecting me. I'm grateful for the love I have felt from people all around me! It's those people that have made me grateful to be alive. 

TMD

Urban Dictionary will define it as the following:

Too Much Drama
Too Much Drugs
Territorial Missile Defense
or
The Muslim Dream

But it really stands for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. Basically it is stressed induced, and it causes a lot of pain in the jaw joint. When I say a lot...I mean A LOT! Don't get stressed guys...it's not worth it. I didn't think I was stressed, but I guess I have been and have had the TMJ (Tmeporomandibular Joint) has "flared" up and it hurts a lot.

Did I mention I have been in pain? Yeah, one night I had to take a sleeping pill at 4 pm to knock me out because the pain was so bad. I have gotten a massage on my jaw and neck and it has helped, and I'm going to get another massage today.

So while you all eat Thanksgiving dinner this week, I want you to be thankful for the ability to chew...cause I can't without extreme pain. But honestly, it is times like this that I'm amazed with the human body and the blessings I have to be able run, walk and usually chew without pain. It is the small things in life, that can make things big. Who would of thought that a tiny joint in the jaw could affect so much of my life? I'm grateful that I don't feel this pain year-round, and that it only comes ones in a while and modern medicine can help me manage it.

On another note...I only have 2 more weeks of school, then finals! I can't believe the semester is almost done! Then I will have 3 weeks of a break, and I can't wait for that! Good things are coming! I love the Christmas season. It is a good time to reflect on the things that really matter in life and serving and loving those around us!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Love you all.

November already?

Well, lets say I have become awful at blogging...its been since September! I can't believe it is already November. This semester has gone by so fast, and that last little bit will only go faster.

So what have I been doing? Well I work 2 jobs....one is I program emails for my old job (Rain) from home and then I work as a Research Assistant for one of my professors. Besides the 2 jobs, I am going to school full time while doing lots of hours in the schools observing and working with kids. So...I'm busy. Oh, I also play on a couple soccer teams. That all basically fills my time.

I think that is why I don't blog, cause nothing really exciting is happening. But I'm happy, being busy is good. And I do make sure I make time for me by watching netflix and readig books :)


P.S. My parents, sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew are in Disney World right now...why didn't they take me? Very good question. I think I deserve a trip to Disney World if you ask me.

Student

I am in my 5th year of college and it has recently come to my attention what kind of student I am...

• I get homework done fast and get it over with 
• I don't stress about the little things 
• I don't ask a million questions about each assignments 
• I learn best from discussion and being involved with it 
• I hate hand outs
• I hate students who ask obvious questions or get stressed about nothing 
• I try to have the least amount of stress possible
• If I like what I am studying then it doesn't feel like homework

Also...my major is pretty easy. It is kinda time consuming but the assignments are painless. I have a lot of anal students in my classes and it takes daily patience not to get annoyed with their billion stupid questions. Sorry for the vent but today was just one of those days...

Romeo and Juliet

I had a text conversation with someone today that went like this...

Me: I wish Romeo and Juliet didn't die in the end
Friend: They died standing up for what they believed
Me: Which is not an easy thing to do
Friend: True


From experience...standing up for what you believe in is sometimes really hard, especially if you have to let something "die." I've always thought about Romeo and Juliet about how stupid it was that their families had to fight and in the end they both died because of it. I had wished for their sake the families could have gotten along and Romeo and Juliet could have lived. But Shakespeare was on to something...it wouldn't be such a famous story that everyone talked about unless it was heartbreaking and thought-provoking. I'm glad Romeo and Juliet didn't give up on what they believed--in their case it was their love. For me...I'm glad I haven't given up what I believed either. Even though I have days where I wish I could just give up, but I know that I would never be happy in the end. If I have to die, or let something go for me to continue to stand up for what I believe, then I will. I know its not an easy thing to do....but I have faith that in the end it will all be worth it.

Weekends

Well another week of school has gone by, and another has started! Classes are good, roommates are wonderful and I'm still getting to know my award. I've been keeping myself busy with homework and lots of play. I've been to 2 BYU Women's Soccer games so far...I love them! They are too fun.

I've been able to spend time with the family as well...and I'm finding myself obsessed with my niece Hadley. She is just a living doll...and she loves me!

Lately I have been able to explore the part of Provo that I love....MUSIC. This place is full of awesome talent. Although I have a love/hate relationship with Provo...it's weekends like this past one where I know I love it more then hate. Friday I went to the Rooftop Concert, and ran into Bryan! I loved catching up with that girl. Then Saturday I went to an Open Mic night as someone's house, then went to another House party where my friend Mike's band played. It was a good weekend.

Saturday I also got to watch my nephew Ander play soccer. He mostly did somersaults through out the whole game then actually kicking the ball. It was a blast...and I got unburnt.

Sunday...there was a CES fireside that Elder Holland spoke at. It was wonderful. I basically love the way he talks. I mostly got from it that we have no excuse to not stand for our religion at all times and all places. Now is the time to take a stand in "Babylon" and to not run away from it.

Well there is a little update of my week/weekend...as you can see my weekends have more to tell then my weeks :)

The Start of New

Well I finished my first week back at BYU. I have started my new major and am loving my program! I have classes with basically the same people every day, but they are all great and in love with Special Ed like me, so it is wonderful!

I've been to my new ward twice now, and it has been good. There are about twice of many guys as girls (that's a plus), all the girls have basically been on missions (which is cool, but can be intimidating) and the Bishopric is super friendly and approachable.

I have been waiting all week to hear back for the new job I applied to. Hopefully this fall I will be working at the MTC as a teacher....just kidding! No, I will be working at the MTC but in their technology department. Kinda cool. The guy who interviewed me gave me confidence that I would most likely get the job. I emailed him this week and he said he was waiting on HR. So...hopefully I will hear from them next week!

I love my new house I'm living in. Four girls, big kitchen, one bathroom, laundry room, lots of storage, dishwasher and plenty of space to make it work! My new roommates are all about 3 years younger then me, but I love them. Probably the best group of girls I have lived with. My room roommate is Erin. She is pretty great. We have a lot in common, and have had fun together so far. We have been calling each other soul mates...so ya that should explain a lot.

This fall a lot of the Highland friends are living in Provo. It has been fun to have them around to hang out with. This first week of school I found myself a little bored...I got my homework done quick and then found myself with nothing to do. So it was nice to have some old friends around. I'm still working on getting new friends...but its hard.

I feel like this fall will be good. Once I get more in the groove of things, I think all these new things will come together and it'll be my favorite semester yet! 

For everybody, everyhwere and at anytime...

Last Friday I got to go to a few classes of BYU's Education Week. I loved the 3 speakers that I got to listen to but there was one that I really loved. It was by Brother Bartholomew (who I had for Book of Mormon one semester my freshman year of college). The topic was about how we know we have been through a spiritual rebirth. This may have been his topic...but I took something completely different from it.

He started talking about how becoming Christ-like is a life time pursuit, and that often times we don't even realize that there has been a change in our lives. He then talked about how when we have a change of heart, we become a new person...and we aggressively pursue the light of Christ.

This was all great, and he had some good insights...but then he shared a story of his life:

When he was in high school...he decided he was going to get on a sport's team because he was sick of being beaten up by all the jocks. He figured by being on a team he would gain respect and have a team to back him up. He tried out for soccer, basketball, football, baseball and wrestling...he was cut from all the try-outs and did not make a single team. He was pretty sad about this...but then he had the cross-country team approach him. They had 4 members on their team, and they needed a 5th player to actually be able to compete against different schools. He accepted their offer to join...and so began his running "career." He trained with the team, and went to all the competitions....he came in dead last for every competition. Then it was the state finals...and he had the 2 fastest kids on his team. At state, the 2 fastest kids crossed the finishing line as 1st and 2nd...and instead of resting and celebrating they kept running and turned around to find Brother Bartholomew. When they did, they ran the rest of the race on either side of him. And all three of them crossed the line together.

When he was telling us this story, he was very emotional. As was I...he painted a beautiful picture of how this life should really be done. Some of us are so worried about where we are in this life, if we are doing good, how close we are to Christ...but we need to realize that the real thing that defines us is the path that we are on...not where we are on it. If we are on the right path...then we need to help those around us get on the path, or to stay on the path.  And we also need to realize, it doesn't matter who finishes it first, or last...but that we ALL make it. We need each other every step of the way. Some of us may fall short, or want to quit the race....but we need to realize the Atonement of Jesus Christ is for everybody, everywhere and at anytime. He died for each of us...and together we can make it. We call each other Brother and Sister in this church, because that is what we are....Brother and Sisters. If we could all have this attitude I believe there wouldn't be so many who decide to quit the race. We all are after the same goals, we all have the same potential and we all have the same love from our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ....why couldn't we all make it?

This next semester as I enter into new classes, a new ward and into a new apartment...I really want to reflect to others that the Atonement is for everyone, everywhere and at any time. I want to help others on the path, and I want to cross the finish line with several people on either side of me. Heaven wouldn't be heaven if those I loved were not there...and not only those I love...but all those who I have come in contact with in my life because we all deserve heaven.

I'm so grateful for the knowledge of the gospel that I have. I'm grateful to know my purpose here, and that when things get hard I know I can turn to the Lord to help me through it. I cannot deny God's and Jesus Christ existence in my life...there have been too many times where I have felt so blessed and loved that I know I'm not in this life alone. I hope that I can help others feel that love as well.

A Perfect Day

Have you ever had a perfect day? I did this summer. July 4, 2012. It was perfect from beginning to end. Looking back at my summer, that was by far my favorite day. Nothing extraordinary happened, but I was completely happy that whole day.

It started out with a morning breakfast with my family and my good friend. After breakfast, my friend and I took a long walk. It was so hot, and I even got sun burnt on this walk...but during the walk my friend and I just had a lot of deep conversations about life, religion, faith, and relationships. After the walk my friend and I chilled for a bit, and just relaxed at my house. We then decided to go see a movie...can't remember what movie we saw...but I just love going to the movie theaters...so anytime that happens I'm happy. After the movie we walked to Applebee's from my friend's apartment. I love Applebee's...some people complain about it, but I like it. After dinner it was getting dark so we hurried back to my friend's apartment and watched fireworks from their deck. After watching fireworks we then watched a movie, and then I went home.

Nothing special...but that good friend and I spent the day doing exactly what both of us wanted to do. We weren't rushed, we took our time with things, had lots of thought-provoking conversations and just enjoyed one another.

I write about this experience because I want to remember that the simple things in life are what make it so grand.

"Do You Remember Lying on the Grass?"

This summer has been overall good. It wasn't too exciting, no crazy trips or anything like that....but I had a fun time.

Recently I had to make a choice...it wasn't an easy one and it still isn't easy. But I woke up one more morning definite on what decision I had to make. It was an interesting experience to wake up with an overwhelming decisiveness even though I hadn't thought of my decision much. Now its been a week later, and I still feel my decision was right. It was a choice that would effect my future, a choice that I will continue to make every day. I realized over this summer just how important my relationship with my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is. I've been around people who are so certain of this relationship, others who have no idea they have one, others who are seeking it and others who once had it but have turned away from it. Each of these people have changed my life and shaped my relationship with God and Christ to be stronger. We are all on this journey to figure out what this life really means. To me its joy, love and showing my gratitude to God. From this summer I have a clearer picture of what my future holds, and I'm excited.

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for each of my family members this summer. I feel my relationship with each one has grown closer, and it just gets me excited for the future and how much closer we can all be.

In two weeks I'll be moving back to Provo, and I'm excited. I feel that this next year will be as good as I make it. I'll be moving in with roommates I don't know. I'll be starting my program and wont have longer then 3 weeks off for winter break for the next year. It's going to be a lot of classes and lot of hard work but I feel like I can do it.

To be missed.

It feels good to be missed. Sometimes life just changes without you even knowing it and you end up in a new situation you didn't even know happened. One of my dear friends and I have become a little distant as a late...nothing big has happened in either of our lives, but the time we use to spend together has dwindled. Last night I got a text from this friend saying they missed me! I felt so loved. I had missed them too, but didn't know if they were really missing me. I'm grateful for friendships and those friendships in particular where you feel loved and sometimes missed.

Lazy Writer

So I'm writing this while procrastinating going to work...but I felt like writing. I don't know what about yet...but there are things on my mind.

Lately my summer has been full of work, lots of sleeping, lots of playing, lots of joy, lots of laughter, some boating, some vacationing, some romance, some heart ache, some reading, a little organizing, a little preparing for the fall and a little bit of thinking.

It's been a good summer, I can't complain. I've been to Zion, California, and will be going to Moab in August. I don't love my job, but I need the money. I do love my naps, but know I need to be awake more of my life. There are things that have changed me this summer, and I think it's for the better. I've said this before, but I'm so excited to start in my new major in the fall. The next year I'll be in classes, but I don't care! I feel like my life is headed in a good direction. I like who I am. There are things I need to work on, but I love that I'm able to see that.

Someone told me this summer that they think I'm someone who wants to be a free spirit. And I would have to agree. But I think that's me, I'm part of complete opposites in my head...and they are constantly battling it out. I have dreams of just traveling the world...but then the other half of me knows I need money to do that. I want to be crazy and fun, but then the other half of me is content with being chill and clam. I look at a lot of people who are those free spirits and I envy them...but at the same time I'm totally just grateful to have those people as my friends!

I wish I was better at blogging like I once was, but there are just so many other ways I'm sharing my life that it's hard to keep them all updated. So for those who still check my blog, thank you and sorry I've become a lazy writer!

June

I can't believe its June already. 3 more months and my life will be crazy busy with 16 credits of school. But until then...I plan to make this summer awesome. So far it has been pretty good, but I can just tell the best is yet to come.

On a side note, my brother and his family move tomorrow to Windsor, CA (yes, that is where I grew up). I'm really excited for their new adventure, but I gotta be honest and say I'm going to miss them like crazy! My brother's whole family is over, the kids have been crying all day....but I'm going to miss this. His 4 kids are going to grow up so fast and I don't want to miss a single day! I've enjoyed having them in Utah and they will be missed dearly. But I'm glad they will be in Windsor, cause I love that town and it'll give me an excuse to visit more often!

Love Despite Of...

Well I'm starting to become a once a month blogger now...kinda sad, but each time I think about writing I find something else to do instead.

I love Sundays. They are inspiring and rejuvenating. Today I had to give a lesson on the Restoration to the Relief Society. I honestly was a bit nervous because of the RM's in the room, but wanted it to be comfortable to all. So I mostly tried to have discussion about it. Something that I was overpowered with was the feeling of love from God. I have this theory about the Gospel. And well...when it all comes down to it, its all about love. God loves us, so He gave us His son to Atone for us. We love God, so we follow His commandments. See, love. That it's basically.

Before Relief Society, I went to my ward's marriage prep class, taught by wonderful Sister Lamoreaux! Amazing. She talked about the decision we make to love someone. That in marriage, we don't just fall into love, but that we decide every day to love the person we marry. It's easy to love someone because of something....but to love someone despite of something is even greater.

I kept thinking about how that is how God loves us, and that is how we are supposed to love everyone. It is not easy, but I think with practice it becomes easier. I know that I already love who I am going to marry, because I've already made that choice. I haven't found him yet, or fallen in love with him...but whoever he is...I know I have already decided I want to love him every day despite of his short comings. And I hope that he can do the same.

Life is interesting, and its amazing to me the situations I'm put in to learn and grow. I know God is directing my life. I can feel His influence every day. I know that when I pray, He truly listens. I know that I'm blessed with this knowledge, and I know it doesn't come easy to everyone. Someone made the point today that its a choice to look for God in our lives. He doesn't just appear to us and say, "Here I am." But He gives us subtle hints, and if we are looking for those hints...we will find that He is everywhere.

Birthday Week

Birthday week was awesome...I turned 22 and felt so loved. Here is how the week went:

Monday: went to Applebee's with friends
Tuesday (my actual birthday): went shopping, ate at Carraba's for lunch, had a wonderful salad for dinner and then played laser tag
Wednesday: played soccer with friends that night and finished the semester!
Thursday: just went and saw Ingrid Michaelson in concert....AMAZING!!
Friday: went to the movies with my work, had a big family bbq and played laser tag again

It was just a good week. Nothing more to say.

The girl with the painted finger nails

I always wanted to be that girl, the one who always had her finger nails painted. However, I use to hate the feeling of it on my nails...so I never did. So a couple days ago I bought two new colors of nail polish and was determined to force myself to leave it on my finger nails. And let me tell you..I did it! And now I love it, and now I'm "that girl."

The summer hasn't started but I can tell its going to be a good one. Being able to wear nail polish is a good sign for the start of the summer...

It all started with breakfast...

Today I woke up and went to breakfast at Kneaders with Jeffery and Kelly. Little did I know at that time what my day would end up to be.

Some how the conversation of the zoo came up and we all decided we would go. I did have class but decided the zoo was more important. So we hopped into my car and off we went!

The weather was nice, the zoo not too crowded and the animals were on their best behavior. Jeffery almost lost his life when a tiger clawed at him...only protected by a glass window.

We had extra time before we had to get back so we decided to go to City Creek...why not? And yes, this was my second time there. That place is magical. As soon as I walk on the grounds it's like a different world. I bought a new shirt and ate good food.

We then drove home. What a day! Hope you enjoy the pictures of the animals!

It is official

I'm loosing my mind. I have never missed a class because I forgot what time it started. Well today was a first. I thought my class started at 5...false it started at 4. I'm not supposed to loose my mind til I'm older. What in the world? There are a couple things that could contribute to this mistake:
1. I stayed up til 230 about four nights in a row.
2. I keep thinking about the Hunger Games and city creek
3. It's beginning to be the end of the semester and I have a lot of things due

But really I think I'm just loosing my mind. Hope everyone can be patient with me.

choosing happiness

So I woke up today with a smile on my face. I was dead tired because I was up too late...but I was happy about life. I had a week a bit ago where a lot of my weaknesses were more apparent to others then I thought...and I was kinda annoyed cause I thought I was keeping it together better. But after that week, I thought about how my life and where I was at and if I was truly happy like I was telling everyone. And my conclusion was yes, I was truly happy. I may not have everything in my life I want...but I feel like I'm progressing and slowly getting to where I want to be. I'm happy because life is great. Even though hard things happen, there is always reasons to be happy. I want to always choose happiness in my life. Days are brighter, the simple things are sweeter and time feels like a gift. I may not be perfect, and I am not always good at expressing myself the way I want to be seen as...but that is okay. I rather laugh at myself then cry, and I seem to get over things faster that way. I do love life. I do love that tomorrow I get to wake up and have another day to live and choose happiness.

I should blog

I really have gotten out of the habit of blogging. Sometimes I think about doing it, but nothing comes to my mind.

Well last weekend I got to go on a cruise with my work! It was our Christmas bonus this year, and it was sure a treat! My brother in law works with me, so my sister and their baby girl came along too! It was really chill, but I loved it! Here are some pics...

So pretty much I go to work, go to school, play soccer and hang out with different people. Life is good and simple. This semester has been going by really fast, I'm so surprised its March already! Soon it'll be April and then it'll be summer time! Woot. We all know how I live for summer weather :)

Hey it's Leap Year

I'm going on a cruise this weekend. Yep. To Mexico. For this years Christmas bonus my work is going on a cruise! I'm pretty excited. I'll take pictures and report back...don't worry :)

Sister

I love my sisters. Sometimes they think I don't because our personalities are so different...but I really love them.

Lisa moved home. I have a roommate now! It's kinda exciting. I sure do love our talks we have about life. She is pretty cool...I kinda like her :)

a rambling of thoughts

So in past years (except last year) I have hated Valentines Day. For some reason...this year I don't mind it. Yes, I'm single and I rather not be...but for some reason all I can do is be grateful. There is so much love in my life and so many things to be happy about.

I feel like each day I'm getting closer to the person I want to become. I'm pretty happy most days and just feel confident about my future. Getting into the Special Education program has really confirmed my desires to work in that field and am just excited to go down this road.

Something that has come to my awareness is that I'm smart. I'm not being cocky, but I'm just amazed at what my brain can do. I know its is because my Heavenly Father has blessed me. So because of that I want to use my brain for the best things in life. I have really wanted to apply myself in my classes and really learn the material my teachers present to me. I want to use my knowledge and understanding for great things.

I've started reading "Jesus the Christ." I love it and would recommend anyone to read it. I know My Savior lived and died for me and learning about His life makes me grateful and happy. I get excited each night that I get to read more of this amazing book and learn more of the Saviors life. 

I'm truly happy for my friends right now that are graduating, getting married, having babies and just having really fun, exciting adventures in their lives. I know my time will come for all those...but right now the focus is on my friends and I couldn't be more ecstatic for all of them! I rejoice in my friends happiness and am so grateful to be parts of all their lives right now.

Well here is to a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all those lovers out there. May it be a happy day, full of kind words and appreciation to one another.

one day

One day there will be someone who will want me just as much as I want them.

One day he will tell me he's been waiting for me all his life.

One day he will never let me go because he knows it'll be the biggest mistake of his life.

One day I'll have my own love story to tell.

One day.

Jumping in with Both Feet

I don't know how to put into words how I'm feeling...its a big mixture of feelings.

Have you ever had an experience where in the back of your mind you kinda new it wouldn't last...and then when it doesn't last and comes to an end you're completely thrown off on how depressed you are about it? Well that's how I'm feeling right now. I felt guarded in this experience...but some how I still ended up jumping into the situation with both feet. I don't know how to put a toe in at a time...someone show me! So of course I come out wounded and a bit down about it.

Well, its a good thing I just need to handle one day at time...otherwise I'd go crazy. 

Friday the 13th

I have some of the funnest friends. True story.

Last night we bundled up and went to the Alpine Cemetery. Which was filled with stories, laughing, sound effects from phones and freezing our toes off. After we went and got hot chocolate and ended the night with a scary movie. Mostly it wasn't a scary night, but filled with good memories and laughter!

It was a good night.

I use to want to

I use to want to blog. But lately (especially after Europe), nothing feels worth blogging about. My life isn't boring. I'm back at school, applying for my new major, living at home and balancing a social life. Just all kinda typical. I've been happier then ever for couple months now. No major change in my life, except I just try to be better at the little things at life. Each day I try to improve me, maybe no one else notices, but I feel I'm becoming a better person. I've said it before, but I'm excited for 2012 and what things will come my way this year. I know sometime this year I'll have something worth blogging about.


...or maybe Europe was the highlight of my life.
