Busy, Busy, Busy!

Well I can't believe that another week has already gone by and that in just two short days we will already been heading into June! It's crazy how the time flys. This week has been pretty busy. Mostly with trying to get things ready for girls camp. My goal this week was to get the t shirts all finished. And I finally found someone to screen print for fairly cheep, and I dropped the shirts off to him yesterday. I am so glad that I don't have to worry about getting those done now. The next thing on my list is to go to the church and get all of the tents we will be taking to camp, and bring them home and set them all up so I can make sure that they all have everything they need. I think I am going to try and get this done today as soon as I get off work. I am hoping that they all have all of the parts. We haven't used these tents in over four years because we have been very blessed to go to Heber Valley and use cabins! It is much easier that way. I never really realized how much work goes into a girls camp. Actually I take that back, until my mom was put in as president I never knew. It is so crazy. As a young woman I would have never thought that it was so much work. And now that I am a leader I realize how hard it is. But it is so worth it and I am so glad that I serve in this amazing calling. My mom is an amazing person. She has done this for years and I don't know how she keeps on doing it. But she loves it. Anyway hopefully I will get the tent situation taken care of today. Then I will probably get another job to accomplish before the big day. (June 14th) I am excited for girls camp but it will definitely be a lot of work. It is hard too when you only have ten girls going. I remember there being more like thirty or so when I went. Crazy how time fly's. This week is also a busy one because my little bro is graduating. I am so proud of him. He is amazing! He also just got a new job at primary childrens hospital. He is freakin amazing. And he is only 18! Well anyway... I hope you all have a great week!

Not much to report

I know I am terrible at writing. I'm sorry. I will really try to do better. This past couple weeks has been pretty crazy! I had my wisdom teeth out, and that actually went better than I had expected. I think I ended up having more pain in my arm than my mouth. Okay that is probably not totally true. But when I went in the lady started putting in the IV. I felt the pinch and it was fine. The next thing I know she is starting to pump the medicine in. It wasn't to bad for a few minutes, and then I started to feel it pinching! I tolerate pain really well so I wasn't worried about it and I didn't think there was anything wrong because it has been years since I had an IV. So I just said, "its kind of pinching a little." Then she said, "oh it is?" then i said, " yeah but don't worry its fine no big deal." So she just went on her way. A few minutes later she says, "are you not getting sleepy yet?" and i said, "no, not really (wide awake lol), but my arm is asleep, and numb." So then the doctor came in and said, "oh thats not in the vein!" Lovely! lol So they proceeded to poke me three more times until they finally found a vein that would work. It was actually pretty funny and I really didn't mind. But the next thing that I remember was sitting on my couch. That didn't turn out to well either. I got home and my Mom gave me the pain pill and i proceeded to lose whatever was in my stomach. It was kind of a rough experience, but after that it really wasn't to bad. I am pretty much back to eating normally now, thank goodness. And I am really thankful that my Mom took such good care of me. So that was last week. A lot of nothing has gone on since school got out. I am glad that I am done with school for two years. It takes a lot off my plate. I now just need to work on finding another job, so I can earn money for a mission. I am still really excited, scared, and nervous about my decision to go on a mission. But I know that it is what I am supposed to do, and I am very excited. It is weird that my little brother has already finished his papers, and will be turning them in at the end of June! I never thought that we would grow up. It has been very strange, but good at the same time.
I also got a new cousin this past week! She is the cutest little thing ever. Her name is Clara, and Brenna and Emery adore her. Brand and Mer are doing good now that they are settled with everything. Brenna and Emery have been spending a lot of time with my family, which I love. Brenna is my little buddy. Its funny because I was always brands little buddy and hung out with him all the time, so it is fun to do the same with Brenna. Well anyway I think I have blabbed on enough lol. Thanks for reading. Oh and Bonnie I am not sure but I think I might have fixed my blog so you can comment now. Try it and see if it works and you can let me know. Thanks!

Reading blogs is better than writing them

Wow okay so.... I am really not very good at this whole blog thing. Everytime I think about writing I talk myself out of it just because I don't want to sit and write what I think. For some people they probably love it, but I think it is kind of boring. But I have been thinking a lot about how I take so much for granted in this world. Everything... I have an amazing family and parents that support me in everything. I have good health. I have dreams, and passions that I have been able to accomplish because I have so much support. But then I think of how many thousands of people there are in this world that don't have any of that. And I feel so bad. Like I said earlier I am not really a big fan of writing on my blog.... however i absolutely love to read other blogs. Friends and families blogs are great. But the other day I came across this amazing blog that has really touched me. It is www.mysuperspence.blogspot.com it is so amazing. It is about a seven year old boy that is fighting cancer. And his mom is an amazing lady. I was working on saturday, and I read the entire blog. As I read it I just bawled. It was so amazing to me how this little boy has such an amazing attitude. And he is so strong. I cannot even believe it. It has really made me think how grateful I am that I don't have that big of trials. I know that we all have trials, and seeing what this little boy is dealing with, I would gladly take some more trials. I know that we are given trials for a reason. And this little boy has helped me realize this. Heavenly Father gives us trials because he knows that we can handle them. He would never give us anything that we couldn't do. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have of this. It is so amazing.
Anyway... now that I have gone on way to long.... But I just thought that was pretty awesome! Check out his blog... you will get hooked. Oh and I will really try hard to put some pictures up. I love looking at pictures. So be patient lol. Thanks.

Suprise!!

Okay so..... it has been a very long kind of hard couple of weeks. I have been thinking a lot lately about my life and what I should be doing. For some reason school, has just not been my thing lately. I don't know why. I just don't have that much of an interest. So after a lot of pondering and thinking, I think I have come to a conclusion. A MISSION. Thats right. I am now about 99% sure that I am going to serve a mission. This is crazy.... typing this I am terrified. But I feel that it is the right thing for me to do. I keep re thinking everything, and saying oh I can't go because of this and this, but my Mom just keeps saying have faith and it will work out. Plus the lesson in Young Womens today was about being STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE. I think it was at that moment that i decided for sure. I am still scared out of my mind. But hopefully it will work out. I know it will. I am such a home body, and so it is really going to be a challenge for me, but I know that this is what is planned for me. I know that it is what I need to be doing. Preparing for a mission. I can't wait. Yes, I know I am not 21 until December but it is going to come faster than ya think. So there it is. I am just glad that I can have one more girls camp with my mom, and a family vacation planned as well. Colton and I will both be gone at the same time, so double blessings for my parents I guess. It will be good. Well only a few people know, so if you read this congrats that you are one of the few. Thanks for reading. I promise I will try and be better at updating this. And I really need to get some pictures up. I will work on that.

Glad to know I may have 1 or 2 readers.

Okay so two weeks ago I was at work, and I wrote a big blog, then it got busy and I couldn't finish it. So that is why it has been awhile. That and school started again, so i've been somewhat busy. But I was at a relief society thing last Thursday, and I kept hearing, "why haven't you updated your blog?" So here ya go. Really I'm just not a big blogger. It kind of seems like a newly wed couple thing to me. But I was bored one week at work and decided to do it so I guess I better keep up with it. I love to read other blogs! My blog is probably not that great.... well I know its not, but just in case someone likes it I will try and make it as commical as possible. Lol. Today has been a pretty great day! Church was great, then I came home and ate lunch, and watched the "Gilmore Girls." I absolutely love the Gilmore Girls, it is my favorite show, and I'm so glad that I have all seven seasons on Dvd, because they don't make new ones anymore. I then proceeded to take about a three and a half hour nap, just in time to wake up and eat dinner. It was great. Thank you mom and dad. I love living at home! hehe. The rest of the night I spent watching the Golden Globes with my Mom, and Dad, and Colton. Go Sandra Bullock..... love her, and I am so glad she won for the Blind Side. Such a great movie. Now I'm just watchin my mom play Rock Band. It has been a pretty good day. Thanks for readin Bonnie! Sorry you can't leave a comment. :)

Long Day

Today started out good. Well i guess.... as good as it can be with having to go to school. Haha. So i was almost done, just had one more class to go, and what happens? Bad day starts. I grabbed my back pack, had my coat on, with keys and phone in my hand. I guess i was juggling to many things and I ended up dropping my brand new phone on the wet asphault. Luckily it wasn't hurt at all.... just a little wet on the screan protector. (Best 10 bucks i ever spent) Then i went to grab the car door so it would shut and what happens? Thats right I slammed my finger in the car door. Yes, it hurt. A lot. I have a very nice blood blister now, and it hurts. What a day. I think it is starting to look up though. I'm at work right now and then I think I will go get a Jamba Juice to make things better! Haha. Well thats my day...... once again I will post some pics of my life soon I hope. Thanks for reading Patti and Bonnie!
