It's a small world..... after all.

Have you ever NOTICED how small this world really is?! I mean, think about it. Your cousin knows your science teacher's brother's wife's thirdly removed nephew who lives in Finland. Things like that HAPPEN.
There are two things that happened that made me realize how small the world really is.

Thing #1:
Ex-boyfriend on a mission in Denver, Colorado. It is only a state away but still! How this applies to it being a small world, well let me tell ya. On Christmas, said ex-boyfriend went to this house for Christmas dinner. This house just happened to be the home of the father of a girl I used to play soccer with. They got to talking about where Elder Ex was from and soccer dad said he knew me and asked if ex knew me. Of course ex knew me... I mean we dated, come on.... so then ex goes on and tells soccer dad that he regrets breaking up with me the way that he did and blahh blahhh blahhh. So then the day after Christmas, I get a message on facebook about this and my mind is blown! Freak. SMALL FETCHING WORLD.

Thing #2:
Mutual friends on facebook. Story time. I am going to Utah State (big surprise there i know) and my new roommates befriended me. So obviously, I'm gonna creep on their profiles. Well with the new facespace technology, I had to look at "our friendship" to see a wall to wall conversation and I noticed that me and one of my new roomies had a picture together! and I was like.... no way. So I go and look at it and it was a picture I had been tagged in so I could see what the Harry Potter robes that my friend's mom made looked it. (wow does that make sense? its late, forgive me) Long story short, one of my roomies was in a picture with a girl I played soccer with at Westminster! Crazy, I know. Mind boggling. So then I go and look at our mutual friends and these girls are friends with people I would never expect! It was a definite shock for my nervous system.

So, moral of the story. It's a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hopes and a world of fear. There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware, ITS A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL.

Amen.

this ride is annoying, but considering it's the theme of my blogpost, I thought it should be on hurr.

    Call me a creeper, but I found your blog by way of Ann Marie's blog, who I found by someone else's blog.. chain of events at work.. BUT... I had no idea you were coming up to Utah State.. and I'm up there too. So I was thinking.. we should play since you know no one.. and I like you. Along with the fact that I prolly haven't seen you in... ages. yep. deal? good. glad you agree.

this is what i want.

Hello people. So today I've been listening to the LDS Hymns of Worship Pandora station while I've been at work. I've decided I'm going to listen to this everywhere I go. I feel so calm and at peace when I listen to it. I want to be better. Better at life. Better at this gospel. Better at school. Better at making friends. Just.... better. I haven't been completely happy lately. I've just kinda.... been here. ha All I do is go to school and work. So these are the things I'm going to do. 1. I'm going to read a General Conference talk once a week. 2. I'm going to pray every morning and night on my knees away from my bed. 3. I'm going to read Emily Freeman's book Becoming His and apply it to my life. 4. I'm going to read the scriptures once a day. 5. I'm going to attend the temple once a week. Alone. 6. I'm going to do one act of service a day. At least. 7. I'm going to put myself out there more. Talk to anyone. ...

Adventures is Out There: England Style Part I.

May 26-27, 2014  Up at 7:30am. Packed and ready to go :) my mom was having a minor heart attack about me leaving. We met Kinsey at some gas station so that we could all drive to the airport together! Once we were at the airport I realized that my mom was being VERY chill compared to Kinsey's mom. Her mom had printed out about a million sheets of information on scams travelers should avoid and everything. Also she told us that the number one rule we HAD to follow was "don't talk to strangers and don't make eye contact when you're walking on the streets." She said it was our homework for the flight to memorize all of the scams as well . We said of course Lisa. Did we actually study it? For about a minute. But then we were distracted by some guy that wouldn't stop talking to us. He said he was good pals with Uchtdorf. So we broke the number one rule and we were still in Salt Lake.  Finally we boarded. Our first flight was from Salt Lake to Seattle. Wasn't...

It has been one whole year since finding out about something that changed my life and my family forever. I can't believe it's been a year. What a long, rough year. But it was full of so many blessings. When I found out about my dad, I thought my life was over. I couldn't even believe what was happening. For the first four months, I was in a state of depression that I never thought I would get out of. My poor roommates had to deal with my dead self and I'll be forever grateful for them because they did. I felt like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I felt responsible for my family. After about four months, I started to feel happy again about little things and I started seeing some of the blessings in my life. Once summer hit, I thought I was back to my old self because I had such a blast this past summer. That, in and of itself, was a MAJOR blessing. It made me realize that I do have friends that care about me and that there are things in life tha...
