Eventful Week...

So as many of you know there was the "blizzard" warning.  This caused me to come home earlier than planned.  In addition to that, our bathroom light burned out at our apartment so we've been showering in the dark.  WHOO HOO!!!
Last night, we went to the Music Man and were super entertained.  But playing during intermission caused my cousin to head butt me in the nose.  The bloody nose was exciting and now my nose is bruised.  OUCH!
Then today, I taught myself to play the accordian!  It was so cool!  I feel super talented.  Anyway, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Eek!!!

That's pretty much all I have to say!!! 

I'm SUPER EXCITED!!!

The end.

Lessons Learned

Life can suck in a lot of ways!  One of the things I've learned is that you can't change your circumstances but you can change your attitude.  But that's hard and takes a lot of effort.  It becomes harder when you don't think you have that strength within you.  No matter how hard the challenge seems, it is possible! No circumstance is so permanent that you can't change your attitude. 

Another thing I have learned about is the divine principle of forgiveness.  I have been blessed to be forgiven for the things that I have done wrong, especially by someone very dear to my heart.  I hope that they realize that the same principles apply to them.

I feel that I have grown a lot over the past couple of years.  There is still a long way to go but I know I can do it because of the people I have around me.  I hope to continue to learn these wonderful lessons!  While there is a lot of tears (or maybe I'm just a crybaby), it has definitely been worth it. 

Thank you for all the support I have received from you.  You will never fully know how much you have changed my life. THANK YOU!

Grateful

So basically, the past couple days have kinda stunk in a lot of ways but instead of dwelling on that, I'd like to list a few things I'm grateful for and focus on that instead of the bad.

• I am in a nationally recognized accounting program.
• I have a job that pays well and is very flexible with my crazy schedule.
• Unexpected surprises.
• Good friends here at school.
• A best friend/sister that lives only 10 minutes away and is ALWAYS helping me out.
• My awesome family!
• Most importantly, a loving Heavenly Father who has blessed me with all of the above gifts.

The Definition of a Sister...

Proverbs 17:17
A friend loveth at all times, and a sister is born for adversity.


How true that statement is!!! I have been blessed not only with sisters by birth but a wonderful sister by choice.  My sister has shown me some of the greatest kindness in the world.  I am so grateful for her and all that she does for me.  I believe that the word sister can be used interchangeably with the word angel.  I truly believe that sisters are our earthly angels.  How wonderful it is to know that we are all each other's angels!


I would like to thank my angel... you know who you are... for the sweet things you do for me daily.  I love you so much, my sister, my angel.  Thank you sis!

What Doesn't Kill You....

Makes you stronger.  The past couple years have been rough but I know that I am stronger and that I have formed a stronger relationship with a dear friend.  To that friend, I would like to say I love you and I'm so glad we've stuck together through this roller coaster ride.  It may not always be easy, but it will be worth it.  I love you!

Seriously... SO BLESSED!!!

Oh man!  What a week!  The infamous test week of the Junior Core... IS OVER!!!  I should still be taking my last test but because of a wonderful miracle, I finished in under 2 hours.  The test was supposed to take 2 hours.  And I'm even fairly confident that I might have possibly aced the test or come pretty close.  I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father who blessed me with the ability to remember clearly all the material I studied yesterday.  He even helped me catch a mistake with my calculator that could have potentially created a HUGE loss of points!  I am so grateful for the help He has given me and I hope to show Him how much I appreciate it.

On a side not, I also want to thank my bestie!!! She said something really sweet last night and I can't stop thinking about it.  It really touched my heart.  Thank you!!!
