i wrote this last week and never published it....sooo its a little out-dated. but not really...although it is february now..
jan.
it came
and it went
and now its the twenty-fifth and idk how that happened.
january has been pretty great though. im actually kinda living up to my goals for the new year so go me! emcor and i have been going to these classes at the sports academy and wow i never knew my bum could hurt so bad. lol. actually i kind of forgot what happened this month, so I'm currently going through my camera roll so i can remember... oh ya i got a new phone. that was awesome. now my phone will actually survive past lunch. hooray. its a pretty lil thang, that iphone six. lets seeee... oh ryan's tire popped, so i got to watch him change it- that was pretty eventful because i had no idea how thats done and now i do.. so hit me up if you pop a tire! i got recruited as team mom for the one and only Holy Shoots basketball team and I've made 1/3 of the games so far, so that shows how great of a mom ill be in the future #goellie. about two weeks ago, the fog here in the valley was nuts. ash em and i went out and took some pics, i was pretty pleased with how they turned out. then that next morning ryan and i went out and got some cool shots too! oh ya i got really sick! that was neat. I've never felt so weak and out. i ended up having the flu. they drew my blood and shoved this thing up my nose, it was lovely. then, whist at the doctor being tortured, they decided i should get my tonsils out... so that'll be happening on tuesday! (PS MY FAV ICE CREAM IS COOKIE DOUGH OR MINT CHIP). i was cleaning my room and i found an sd card, so i popped it in my camera and BOOM all my pictures from my exchange trip to japan last year. wow oh wow that was a good day. it was fun to reminisce my adventures from then. that was such a good time/ adventure!
a little more on recent adventures- last night, ash, ben, other ben, curtis, sheldon, josh and preston + i, all went on an icy, deathly, spontaneous hike. we went up to the wind caves in logan canyon. we started at 8:30ish, got to the top abound 10:30 and got back down at 11:30. wow that was crazy. it was a pretty easy hike. just kidding, it was NUTS. ice was everywhere and I'm soo surprised no one went off the edge, although we each fell at least a dozen times. it was so neat though to be up there and see all the stars! beautiful! it was just a good wholesome time minus the times we almost died! ps WHEN SIGNS SAY TO STAY ON THE TRAIL, STAY ON THE TRAIL. ps this event can pretty much be related to any gosple topic, so next time i have to give a talk, ill be set. ex: staying on the straight and narrow path/ holding to the rod, the light of christ, etc.... IM SET.
senior year is going well. except i have a hard time actually wanting to go. I've gotten in this awful mindset that i do not need school and ill be better off without a hs diploma. sorry mom and dad. jk i promise i go to ALL my classes! (minus that one time corry, daniel and i went to mcdees first hour...HASHBROWN WASNT GETTING DENIED!)
tonight- there was a devotional up on usu campus, so ryan and i went to that. it was great! it was given by Elder Cook. what a guy! he had some really great things to say. i really loved what he said about staying of the path of righteousness and how important that is. - it really is! (lol could totally relate that to the wind caves/ staying on the path haha!, again, so set for my next sacrament talk!)
i met with my stake president last sunday, and one thing we talked about was going on a mission. crazy how near thats getting! i can turn my papers in on july 26th! which means i can start them earlier! ah.
ahhhhh.
ah.
AH.
lds hymns of worship radio has been on my phone throughout the days and i looove it. holler to aux cord &pandora.
oh i got to work a shift with kris last week. that was quite the experience. she works at a candy shop. devil of a place. i downed waaay too much sugar.. #goellie. but it was way fun, i showed up just to hangout with her then ended up bagging some gummy lips by the pound and sweeping. fun fun.
i drove over to the temple one day and it was closed..sad. so i ended up sitting out by the fountain and kind of just reflecting on life/ thinking/ praying. I'm so grateful for the temple. it really is a blessing in my life. I've had the opportunity to go a lot before school, and wow, what a difference that makes. i don't have seminary this trimester, so that extra light in my life really does make a difference.
oh sweethearts is in less than two weeks. whoooohhooooooo.
stoked for that!
january has been pretty great, so 2015 you've been good to me so far, thanks, much love
