I AM STRESSED about India. STRESSED. I am still a few hundred dollars away from my deadline.. and i won't be getting my pay check until after  APRIL 11th my dead line.  i need $700 more.  and i have pushed my limits. i have woken up at 4:30 am to get a few hours of work in before a few hours of school.  only to go back to work to teach swim lessons.  just to go back to school. then the library to study until i go to bed  then i wake up and do it again.  i can't handle more work on my plate right now but that is just what i am getting. this week is spring break.  and what a better way to spend it and reminiscing over what i did last year. go to india. it just seems right to work towards india again this spring break. no one is here.  i have ample time.  so i am working every morning and have taken extra shifts even. plus i am working with my brother on selling these ...

today was needed it was the most tiring day of my life  but one of the greatest eye opening experiences ever i woke up at the butt crack of dawn went to work went to class  went to work went to class reffed volleyball games went to the library and now i just got back from an hour long run. it was awesome. i run quite often and quite far.  i amaze myself everyday.  this time i ran back and forth across ephraim looking at everything around me.  it is so beautiful. as i was taking it all in i started thinking about my worries  like what is going on with ezra  what is going on with my roommates why i always feel so put out and what i am going to do for spring break.  then i was thinking that ezra is out serving the lord,  he doesn't need me on his mind  and that is okay with me. then i was thinking that my roommates are annoyed with me but then i thought that they are my roommat...

wanna know what's new? I go to work, class, nap, work, class, study, sleep. which isn't too bad cause i don't get invited to hang out. its starting to get to me.  it was just like high school. i had friends, but if i didn't invite myself i wasn't there. thats how college is starting to feel. i love my friends.  but i don't always feel welcome. so instead i just chill at home  sleeping or netflix.  i just wish my best friend was home. i have 239 days left until hes home. that moment is going to be the greatest moment of my life.  i can't wait to see him start crying give him the longest hug of my life and never let him out of my sight  (until he has to go home) I can't wait to lay my head on his chest listen to his heart beat and  just be close to him again.  i haven't been able to open up to anyone else  like i have been able to open up to him. besides madeline.  madeline is an a...

Its march 8th and yesterday was august 16th i swear it was. i can't believe that my freshman year is almost over. well there isn't anything new going on rn other than i only have 132 days until i go to india. and there is only 243 days until ezra gets home.  thinking about going to india freaks me out not because i am scared or anything but more because andrea and sophia aren't going to be there.  they are the two most amazing girls i have ever met i know for a fact that if i need something i can call them if i wanna talk i can call them if i'm in town they will always make time for me. and i love them so much.  i do love my new team  but as they always tell us. its not going to be the same. it wont be operation shaanti its operation jeevan. they are amazing and i love them so much. but i'm still freaked out.  thinking about summer freaks me out i'm excited don't get me wrong but it means i won't b...

I have so many good influences in my life but in this post is about Mike my cute roommate. she is amazing.  today she got up in  sacrament and bore her testimony. and it was such an amazing testimony.  she is getting her call this weekend and i couldn't be more excited for her. i really wish that it could be me opening my mission call this week but right now i really don't think that a mission is in the stars for me right now. I have been thinking about it all day everyday for awhile now.  it used to be because i wanted to be home when ezra got home  but now i know thats not the reason. and i am going to india and i don't think a mission is for me. but a mission is for Mike. she's amazing. her testimony really was amazing because she was so bold!  she knew what she was talking about but most of all she believed what she was talking about she is going to be an amazing missionary i just know it. she will! t...

I am currently sitting at work and no one is here its my second shift of the day and its awesome if you asked me yesterday  i would have said i hate working so much but now its awesome. i don't mind it at all. its relaxing and gets me up and going in the morning. i stretch and walk around i get up and have breakfast.. BREAK THROUGH  i hate waking up in the morning i hate working out in the morning i hate eating breakfast in the morning and i hate that i am starting to not hate those things anymore. its relaxing hearing the water makes me feel like i'm at the ocean its warm in the pool (on deck the water is freezing) and i hate being cold working isn't so bad.  every hour i spend here i am donating 7.25 to Indian children the cutest most loving children in the world. i just thought i would share this today i don't know why  but i did. so i hope you enjoyed this. xoxo jordie
