Home sweet home

That's right, I'm going back to Cedar! Like in thirty minutes to be exact. I cannot wait.

Here are a few things I'm excited for:

1. Growing new friendships.

2. Returning to Southern Utah University.

3. Experience new roommates. I'm quite nervous actually. I know the girls but that doesn't mean I don't have to be nervous.

4. Spend time with people I care for.

5. Moving to Cedar means I'm just that much closer to getting out of this blasted contract [Provo/Orem, I don't think I like you even a little].

Here are a few things I'm going to miss about living in St. George with my sister:

1. The friendship that has evolved between me and Lydia.

2. The opportunity I had to grow closer to these kids.

3. I wont be hearing, "I love you Maryyyy" from Sophia running around frantically.

4. Yes, I always complain about the heat when I'm in it, but I'm going to miss the sun!

5. Most of all, being close to my sistahs! It'll be hard to be away from them. My whombmate is in Cedar though. So that's good, right?

Well I better get my stuff together so I can head back to my home sweet home.

Cedar City, I'll see you shortly. St George, I'll be back to visit plenty. Promise.

True that...

This is so true, isn' it? Do you guys know what stumble upon is? Well if you do, that it where I found this quote. I seriously could "stumble" all day. I find the coolest, most inspirational, funniest things on this website. This is by far one of the best quotes I have read in a long time.

So have a wonderful day everyone!

Till next time!

Tender moment

Today my sister and I met up with her friend Gail to set up a party for Lia Sophia. While we were sitting down for lunch, I noticed this elderly man sitting there by himself eating lunch. He was so cute. After he ate his lunch, he was just sitting there. I then noticed a woman and her daughter come in and get ice cream together.

[before I move on, I'm not a creeper]

After a minute, again, I notice the woman getting another ice cream. This one wasn't for her. It was for the man sitting by himself. She thanked him for something, opened his spoon, and opened his nuts and sat those to the side. She was so thoughtful. It seriously made me get all emotional. I thought it was such a sweet thing for her to do that. He was so appreciative. She ended up getting her and her daughters stuff and sat down with him. He was telling her stories and then she left.

Gives me hope that there are good people like her in our world. Makes me strive to be a better person.

Thought I would share that with you guys.

Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday.

Let's talk business...

I love Jewelry. Do you? Well you will if you love me.

Want to show that you love me?

Buy Jewelry. From my sister. Lydia, advisor of Lia Sophia.

She succored me into hosting one of these parties under her. At first I was a little hesitant because I didn't think I have friends to do it. Then I fell into the trap and I couldn't be anymore excited [secretly I do have a lot of friends. Just please, don't let me down you guys].

So back to you loving me.

The party is at my house [address soon to come] on Saturday August 20th at 5 pm.

The theme is Chocolate. Oh yeah, I'm excited. What girl doesn't like jewelry and chocolate?

So let me know if you guys would be interested in coming to this wonderful party. The catalog has beautiful pieces and you wont regret it. Super great deals, too!

click on the picture to go to Lydia's site. Here you can order through the website directly and have it still count towards my party (for those who may be out of town or live out of town but want to be a part of this). July special is buy one full price item (this will be your cheapest item) and get two more expensive items for half off. How cool is that? August special buy two (same drill) get two half off. Buy three get three half off and so on and so forth. Great specials eh?

Stepping back...

Tonight as I was getting ready for bed I was thinking to myself how many good things I have going in my life compared to the bad ones. This whole contract fiasco has really put me to the test. My stress levels were higher than ever, I was emotional, I only got a few hours of sleep a night, and I was never happy. That ends now. Have I not stepped back to take a look at everything I do have? I sure did tonight.

My sister has helped me out more than I can even thank her for. When I didn't have anywhere to stay, she opened her house up to me. Somewhere where I would feel comfortable. I'm going to miss them when I move back to Cedar. Which leads me to the house I'm going to live in Cedar; I'll be living with a few girls I met in my ward when I lived on 300. Not only am I going to live with way fun girls, I'll be back in the singles ward that's practically the ward I have been in other than the ward I was baptized in. Then I get blessed with the most kindest friends. When I stress out about money- and not the little stresses that we all have; big ones- or anything else, they are there to give me advice, throw some options out. Letting me know that everything will work out in the end. It always does. By the way my only option left with this contract is to sell it. The amount is outrageous. I wont post that. I have it, but would rather not spend it on the most ridiculous people I have ever met with (professionally). That's another blessing; I have the money and can get out of it. At least I have that, right? I can still live with the extra money I'll have (tithing is a great thing; blessings pour out) and job hunting.

Now I'm going to let you all know that prayer is one of the biggest things that have gotten me through a lot lately. Every time I start doubting myself, start stressing out, or start losing hope, I just turn to Heavenly Father in Prayer and ask for strength to get me through the trials I have been given. If these trials are in my life, I must have the strength to push through them. Yeah? I think so.

[I was going to add pictures but something crazy happened and I'm too tired to even care at this point. Sorry!]

Goodnight!

The Best...

I think I have some of the greatest people in my life. I'm not going to say I have all of the best people in my life because I think everyone has great people in their lives.

Really though, I sometimes wonder what I did to have these wonderful people in my life. My sisters and friends are who keep me going. They help me when I'm going through trials and remind me that things always work out and all things happen for a reason. Even when I'm about to give up. They cheer me on. They are always supportive for what I want to do. They never lie. They are straight forward and tell me the honest truth; which sometimes hurts and I don't want to hear it but after things work out (like they always do) I look back and think, they were sooo right.

I met some of those great people in Church. They help me with everything. Especially advice on what to do. They counsel me and give me different options that I never even thought about.

I hope that I can be like them one day. I try my hardest, but after what they help me with, it drives me to be a better person.

Moral of the story: I'm truly blessed to have the people I have in my life. I wouldn't swap them for anyone.

Thank you everyone for being there for me! And thanks Lydia for letting me stay at your house and babysit your cute children while I get back on my own two feet. You have no idea how much this all means to me.

Well everyone, go tell those you love that you greatly appreciate everything they do for you. Regardless, if you care for them, they have done something for you. So just tell them Thank You.

Funny Things...

I think I have the worlds funniest nieces and nephew. This isn't a joke. They have the cutest most funniest sense of humor ever. They're only 10 (Alexis), 8 (Sadie), 6 (Daniel), and 3 (Sophia).

Here are a few of the things they say that make me laugh every time:

"Burn suckaaaa." - Sadie and Lexy when they prove each other wrong.

Why are you so cute, Sadie??! "Because Mom gave birth to me."

"Guess what?" What? "Get outta town!" -Sophia.

Let's go pee, Sophia! "No, I don't like peeing." Why? "Because I love youuuu."

Seriously, the last two are my favorite. The last one is all in tears. Seriously, she's bawling hysterically the whole time. It's the funniest thing. Ever.

Well just thought I would share with you that my nieces and nephew are the cutest kids.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!
