I'll stay here forever

This morning started off BLEH.

Bad:

• I woke up feeling horribly sick
• I had 10 minutes to get ready for class
• I forgot to eat breakfast
• Brandon mixed up our times of practicing 
• I forgot my homework for the next class
• I remembered that I'm in Gold I and it's not very fun....
• My hot chocolate burnt my tongue
• I can't go on the date I was asked out on for tomorrow because I have a comp
• still NO LETTER
•  I did bad on my tango test
• Still can't find my roommates bible that I lost

So then when I got to physical science I asked Sarah and Emily to  say 5 good things about today so that I would be in a better mood. The day has progressively gotten better since then!

Good:

• It's not snowing
• Emily said my hair looked cute
• I LOVE the chemistry we are learning
• I got asked on a date! (even though I can't go, decided it's awesome!)
• I get to go to dinner with my grandparents today
• I had a test in Ballroom so I only had to go to 10 minutes of class
• My mama is trying to get me a flight to Florida
• Gospel is true!
• this really good band played at lunch
• I figured out what classes I'm taking next semester
• My room has been clean for 2 weeks now
• I get to hang out with cute Emily from dance tonight
• I met some cool people at lunch
• I'm not in a wheelchair (thank you Sarah for that one)
• I love all the girls in my hall
• I got to drink hot chocolate this morning
• A guy who got my number today told me I remind him of Zooey Deschanel (I LOVE when people tell me that!!!)

The lord answers prayers! I asked this morning that he would help me to find the good in the day so that I could cheer up and he really has helped me see so many blessings!

You're about as happy as you make up your mind to be.

You've got a girl at home

Life is so wonderful!


Yesterday my sister's roommate tried to convince me to buy her contract for winter and all I could say is "but I love the dorms!"

I really do love it here. I've made such great friends and it seems we just party and keep on partying.


My FHE family is EXTREMELY close and we just love each other so much!

I'm loving dance lately, and I've excepted I might not ever be on tour team but that's okay! Everyone is so nice and I've made some wonderful friends I never knew I would and gotten to know ones I already knew even better!

Everyone is gong on missions and serving the Lord and it's so inspiring and grand. My testimony has grown so much while I've been here. Book of Mormon is one of the most spiritual classes I've ever taken and even though I don't ace the tests I'm learning things far more important.


I got to do a photo shoot for Just Buttons & Bows and I got to remember how much I love photography!

Point is I guess that we really are the ones who decide how happy we are going to be. Happiness is not a destination, it's an emotion! Once we realize that people will be happier more often.

If you want something you've never had then you need to do something you've never done.

His eyes were way too close together

Well it's been awhile. I haven't been able to bring myself to post.

Africa is very far away and I haven't gotten a letter yet, but I know one's on the way!
Missionary work is so huge in my life right now!

One of my great girl-friends from high school received her call tonight to CHILE! Oh my goodness it makes me so excited to get my call! I can't even express how pumped I am.
11 moths and hopefully I'll be out!



The lord is aware of us and loves us so much.




Happiness is a choice, so choose to be happy. :)
