I have lots of great people in my life 

who love me despite

how silly, and sometimes childish, I am.

At least I am never bored, right?

One of today's happenings:

 Susie helped and Lukas let me animate his phone. I love my siblings :)

What Are Friends For?

I will tell you. 

They are for having Peeps wars with and forgiving you for accidentally punching them in the head. Among many other things.

Thanks Kellie, for putting up with my shenanigans. And keeping me mostly out of trouble.

Nonsense

So, on my way home I drive over the Weber river twice. It is sooo full right now that the fields that are between the river and the canal have now become part of the river. It's kind of cool. Okay, it's really cool and I am one of the annoying people who slows down a little bit every time I pass them so that I can look. They sort of look like ponds with trees growing in the middle. I was going to take some pictures, but apparently everyone has that idea too because every time I drive past the bridge there are at least two cars parked on the bridge with their drivers wandering out into the busy road with a little point and shoot camera in one of their hands. Idiots. Don't walk in front of me, I am driving at least 55 mph! Guh. Tourists :)

Therefore, not wanting to become one of the morons holding up traffic, I am not posting pictures of the awesome new ponds. Instead you get random horse pictures. I took them when I was hiking back through the fields to get these photos. 

Probably I will break down and join the moron ranks soon.

I was walking along the fence line and looked over and there were a ton of them just staring at me like "what on earth is that girl doing?"

I Will Miss You...Probably

Because..........

I AM GOING TO TAIWAN! For six months. Did you get that? I said TAIWAN, people!
And...

Yep. Jealous much?
Also, I will be taking cash donations to pay for visas, souvenirs and a pet panda. Mostly the panda. I hear those things get pretty pricey.

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
— Gordon B. Hinckley

I have been a little bit stressed lately. I let myself worry too much even though I realize it is pointless. Even though I know that I can't control everything. I have told myself so many times that it will all work out, that it always works out.  

But I have been wanting something to happen really really badly. And sometimes my resolve to be patient and just trust goes south. I eventually had to sit myself down and say "hey, if this doesn't work out that is okay. It just means there are different good things coming to you that will be much better for you and provide so much more opportunity for growth than this. And if this does happen, then how fantastic! But quit worrying about it so much. You have better things to do with your time and energy. Everything has always worked out before and it will continue to be that way." I felt better after that, but I still had to work really hard for that patience.

Well, I got a call last night and what I was hoping for is going to happen! But now I am a little confused because I don't feel quite as excited about it as I thought I would be. I thought this decision was made, but apparently I've got a tiny bit more thinking to do before I totally commit to it. 

I am such a fickle creature. . . hopefully that will change ;)

On another note, I have been wanting to do this, only cooler, for months. And I think that plan might come to fruition soon.

Have a beautiful day, loved ones!

1000 Cranes

I have a ton of paper cranes floating around my room right now. Well, they look like they are floating. I have a really awesome family and best friend who helped me fold a ton of them for an art project for one of my classes. Unfortunately I didn't have time to make it as epic as I had hoped, so it has become a summer project. I can't wait to get started on it.  

Only one more week left of school people! 

I AM SO EXCITED!

Oh, the simple things that make life so wonderful

 I love random silliness :)

Road Trip Part 4: Cali

We spent forever stuck in traffic, but 

two hours of beach time was completely worth it.

I love the smell of salt water and the constant breeze. *sigh*
