these last few months have been pure heck to put it simply. being a young adult is one of the worst things ever. going to school while having to work to pay for school, then trying to fulfill church callings and have a social and dating life is actually impossible.  I have met some pretty amazing people these last few months and i am so happy to have so many new friendships! but there have also been a few old and new that are just added stress in my life. guys can i just say that those who say dating is a game, are obviously not dating the right people. dating shouldn't be a game, you shouldn't have to guess if they like you, if they don't, if they ever will again or if you're just wasting your time. it's the worst.  if you like someone TELL THEM. if you don't like someone DON'T LEAD THEM ON. that is the worst thing you can do to someone, is give them false hope. If you want to still be friends, great be friends just don't be a jerk about it...

so sorry its been a long time friends. but school started, nannying started and I am busier than ever. wanna hear about my life? great lets get started. well my fam is down to 1 car. the saturn died for good on me when i was on my way to take a test for one of my classes.. So that's awesome right? now we have 1 car where my dad needs to get to work, i need to get to work, school, get to Eden's for YMAD stuff and my internship, my mom needs to get to work and my brothers need to get to school all at different times. It's a joy honestly it is. Right now I literally have 0$ in my bank account because I had to pay tuition which is $6,000 at the U for me. Now I am gonna have to take out a loan for a car because i need one to get to my million places that my family now can't help with because our schedules suck. Which is stressing me out. I need to move out because 1 I hate this mountain more than anything. I would love to be closer to either work or school so its not ...

my summertime is coming to an end. summer 2016 wasn't as exciting as i hoped it would be. but i definitely didn't stay at home the whole summer (i house/baby/dog sat so i stayed at other people's houses STAYCATIONS) but it was still way fun. I met a whole bunch of people. who are sadly leaving me in just a few days to move back to Provo/Orem for school. A few are staying but not very many! :( This is why I don't like making friends, they all move away and then i have to make new friends, but all i wanna do is hang out with the old friends, but when i do make new friends it's too late and the new friends become old friends. wow ok i'm done. All honesty guys. I still am clueless as to what i am doing fall semester.. I have night classes so I can nanny in the morning, but I still don't have enough money for tuition so I need a really good job. But a really good job requires a car and jordie doesn't have a car. so. i'm screwed. + I am definitely n...

k. I finally did something fun! Last weekend.. so ya know its a little late but its fine right? so my YSA (Young Single Adults) Ward took an overnight trip to Yuba lake, and I decided I should probably get to know some people in my ward because I am going to be with them for awhile. I invited Samantha to come with me, and thankfully she said yes and came. We started the trip off by getting treats cause who can survive a camping trip without treats? After we got our treats, we headed over to the church where it was all about our waivers (no joke 20 minutes of make sure you have your waiver filled out) (for a good reason, just reminds me a little of passports guys let me see your passports! @ my shaanti family) we finally were headed out around 5 o'clock. Samantha and I jumped in a car with 3 random guys, but it was fun Josh drove, Joel got shot gun and Jozsef was stuck in the back with us girls. We learned they all just met and became friends like 24 hours before we headed out t...

guys. guess what? im 20. but guess what else? it's the same as 19. I mean now i am no longer a teen, but now i can't do anything new. no bars, no drinking, no nothing (not like i would do that anyways but ya know. nothing new. yesterday i went to breakfast with my girls sam, atalee and soph at village inn! then we headed over to a farmers market so soph could get her granola, pet a horse and try some curd! after that we went to the arts festival. where there were so many incredible artists there! it was incredible and my friends were incredible for taking me out there! i love those girls so much! Which made me want to do more crafting, decorating and creating. I still have a strong desire to decorate rooms/houses/parties, make banners, watercolor and so much more. I love crafts and making things. I think i might start to sell a few things and see how that goes? do you guys wanna see some of my designs? that's what 20 is bringing. 20 is bringing adventure and cr...

yikes. this is embarassing. I FORGOT I HAD A BLOG. its been a real struggle finding a minute to myself because this summer I am a headguard 40 hours, a swim teacher 10+ hours, a babysitter at least 10 hours, and house cleaner about 5 hours a week, church for 3, working out at least 7, walking to/from work is at least 3 hours, sleeping for 8 hours each night. That leave me 34 hours. I still have to shower, eat, get ready, do laundry, keep my room clean, do chores, etc. in that time so it comes down to about 24 hours a week that i have to myself. by that time i am exhausted and just get in bed anyways! This summer is mad crazy. But last week I got to go disco skating with my friend Katelyn from down in Ephraim. And I also go to go country dancing with Atalee! :) They were both super fun and I LOVED it, So i'm excited to make that like a weekly thing (just ask Chris Brown - I need all the help I can get with dancing, cause I haven't gone in forever since Josh left on his ...

ok so its been awhile (i feel like I've started every post like this lately) I promise I will be better as soon as my schedule is normal again! This summer I have -decorated my room - which looks bomb just in case you were wondering -done odd jobs for extra money before the pool opens -babysat the cutest kids -taken an LGI class to be able to teach our newbie lifeguards -pass an LGI class -started teaching the Lifeguard class this week -watched a movie up the canyon in the woods -played some sand volleyball -had a bonfire -went to B-dubs for 60 cent wings (best summer tradition) -saw cookie! (ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS SO FAR) There isn't much going on right now because I have my lifeguard class every night so I can't really hang out because by the end of it I am exhausted! But next week is orientation so it will be about the same hours so the week after that the pool is open and I'll have regular hours so then the real summer partying can happen! :) x...
