When I grow up. . .

My friends have told me several things that they think I should do with my life, such as
  • Open a flower shop
  • Open a bakery
  • Make greeting cards
  • Become Mrs. Claus.
I actually love all these suggestions! I love flowers, and baking, and sending nice notes to people, and making up poems, and I guess doing Mrs. Claus type things (haha, my friends are funny). However, I am going into editing. I love my major and minor classes. I love reading, and spelling, and grammar, and words. I'm excited for what life will bring! It is good!

Work

Work is kind of boring.
The people who work here are cool though.

Change and other thoughts

I'm feeling very thoughtful, I guess that would be the word, today.
Yesterday I got to see some of my friends who just got home from their missions. It was great seeing them. We were talking about how in some ways it seems like no time has passed but in other ways, so much has changed. I know I have changed immensely in the last two years. This last year, so many people touched and changed my life. I have grown so much, and I am much happier with myself. I'm much more outgoing. I have come to better understand the gospel. I still have questions about my life, but I have realized dreams and made goals. I have a major, and I absolutely love it.
It's interesting how we can change. I love how everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Different things are more challenging to different people. We have to grow in our own ways, and then help people with things we are stronger in. I love how people can come into our lives and then change them. I love people, and I love love.
I wish it was easier for me to just come out and say things. I tend to be very vague and indirect. Sometimes I like it, but sometimes it just leads to frustration. I need my blunt friends to come back, because they tend to rub off on me.
I love life! It is truly wonderful, and I'm incredibly blessed. I am pretty sure that I have the most wonderful life ever. I hope I can help other people feel the love and joy that I feel.

I am now 21!

Last Thursday was my birthday!!

It was a great day! I woke up and made some french toast; then my sister and I watched, sh, High School Musical 3. I love that show. hehe. Then my family came home and had me open my gifts. I got a magic bullet blender, Bolt!, a really cute contact case, a dress, headphones, and some other things that I can't quite remember at the moment. It was so nice. I am so blessed. Then our family had to rush off to Provo for my sister's graduation. It was very long, but I am so happy for my sister! She is amazing and I can't believe she is done with high school, or that I'm 21 really. After graduation, we went to Texas Roadhouse which is outright delicious (I like the word "outright," I just decided) . Then we saw Up. I thought it was so cute. It made me cry both out of cuteness and sad stuff. cute, cute cute. Afterwards, we went home and ate my delicious chocolate pie from Costco. yum. My sister and I talked until late and I think I bought some songs. Lucky for me, the birthday celebration did not end there.
Friday, I invited some friends over for a barbecue. I'm so grateful to my family. They are the best; when I was at work all day, they prepared for my party. It was wonderful. I haven't been very social since moving home and I loved seeing my friends. We ate and played games. Then we went to the park and played. There were some majorly cool things and it was fun. I love my friends. :)
Saturday, Tasha, Drew, Ben, and I went to the zoo. It was fun. I loved seeing all the animals. I love seeing all the amazing things that God has created. I loved being with my friends again, and I am so happy that Ben got to come because he's amazing. I went from seeing him everyday in March and April to going a month without seeing him. It was sad, so I was happy to spend time with him.
I thought that would be the end of my celebrating, but I was wrong. On Monday, thanks to my wonderful boss and friend Tasha, I was able to go to Lagoon with Ben and Drew and their friend Ruben (sp??). It was so fun! We went on all the great rides (well, except tilt-a-whirl, but that's ok) and got wet and everything. Ben and I did this catapult ride that cost extra money. He paid and was so nice. The ride was AMAZING. It felt great and gave us cool views for just a couple of seconds. Lagoon was great. I am so glad I went.
These past few days my emotions have followed the path of the rollercoasters that I rode. But, I have had so much fun, and I have so much to be grateful for. I love my life and my friends and my family! I am incredibly blessed and excited for what life holds!

*hopefully, I will be able to put up pictures soon to go along with my adventures
