So Small.

I just watched the movie about Columbine the other day. It got me thinking a lot about the things we let go unsaid. So often our head tries to fight what our heart is feeling. Whether it be because of pride, anger, passion or resentment. The bottom line is we need to say what's in our HEARTS... not what's on our minds. As Carrie says... Love is all that matters after all.

I know this is very "blogish" but... I think we all forget to tell the people in our lives how much we love them sometimes. 

KAJUKENBO.

When I was in elementary school I used to do a form of Karate called "Kajukenbo." I was apart of the Sei Ryu Kan dojo meaning "the path of peaceful strength." I recently discovered that my old Sensei is still here in TUCSON!!!! I miss that part of my life so much and have decided to start up again! I am so excited! Man it sure feels good to wear a gis again!

BORDERS!

Phew. I went in for my 2nd interview at Border's Bookstore on Saturday. I was soooooo nervous. But... out of a billion applicants, I GOT THE JOB! I am so excited and I start tomorrow! I dropped by the Pita Pit to tell them I would not be returning. I felt really bad. But I am so excited to start sleeping again! I already feel so much better. I get a 30% discount on everything at the store and I get to talk to people all day! Im so stoked! 

P.S. I have been REALLY good about saving my money. So... if I make it through this year without buying any photo lenses and such... I am totally buying Trivial Pursuit; The Beatles. It would be so much fun! Borders is the best!

No Sleep.

I am the Pita Pit's newest employee. I work every night from 7pm-4am. Then I walk home and after minimal hours of sleep... get up for school at 9am. Its been hard but... you gotta do what you gotta do. I am hoping that I will find another job soon because its starting to wear on me a bit. But... on the positive side, you know when its really early in the morning and you say silly things? Well... I am like that all the time!!!! Its basically just constant entertainment for my roommate and the many on lookers.  

A New Home.

If anyone would like to write to me my address is as follows, ( 326 N. Park Avenue, Tucson, AZ, 85719 ) I LOVE TO GET MAILLLLLL!!!!

I am now living in Tucson Arizona with my most dearest friend Vanessa. We are in the most adorable little apartments just outside of campus. I just love the atmosphere and everything about the place! We are very very poor and splitting the rent on a studio apartment. I have now been here for a week and I am just loving it. I grew up here and its just so nice to be coming back to my "roots." I love it here. The weather is really nice and its really nice to have Ness here to share it with. I am searching for a job and hopefully will find one soon or I might not have groceries!!!!! I love and miss you all. 

Not Quite Home.

Well... I've been back home in Arizona for exactly three weeks now. At first it was very weird being back. But I started going to work the day after I got home and it has been busy-busy-busy since then. I forgot how much I missed working at the pool. I like having a job that I look forward to going to every day! I'm wayyyyy stoked for swimming lessons to start! And I love that as soon as I get off work there is ALWAYS something going on. But even though its nice to be back with friends and family.... I don't quite feel "home." Even though I was only in Utah for a year... it really did become home to me. I miss it, and the people I met, a lot sometimes. Its just hard to think... "Wow, I might never see any of those people again." But. I know everything will be okay. I just wish they would stop playing Hannah Montana's "The Climb" on the radio! Haha. I just have to shake my head and remind myself.... you meet people for a reason. Take the memories and the lessons with you and move on. 

The Boys.

I will miss sunday night movie nights very much. : (

Conference!

I had the opportunity to attend the REAL CONFERENCE!!! I went to the Sunday morning session and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. If just walking around and looking at all the smiling faces wasn't enough.... When Pres Mon walked into the room I just felt this overwhelming feeling of peace and happiness. Love just radiates from him. The room was dead silent and I couldn't stop smiling. As usual, it was all thanks to Cyd and her connections. Wow. Its going to be really hard to leave. She's become one of the bests and helped me learn so much about myself. She is such a great example and I feel as if I am not done learning yet. But... take the good with you. And this semester there has certainly been a LOT of good. So I'll enjoy these last three weeks and await what is ahead!

Cyd's House.

This past weekend I went up to Orem with Cyd so that she could go to a friends wedding. The next day she took me up into the mountains and it was so BEAUTIFUL! I thought the mountains we have here in Ephraim were amazing but dang, they got NOTHIN on Orem's peaks. Its hard to hold a normal conversation because everywhere you go the view is just breathtaking. We took a bunch of pictures and stopped for a picnic by the lake listening to some Beatles music. It was nice to meet all her friends, they are all very nice people. All in all it was a great weekend. I find I keep falling more and more in love with Utah. Its going to be really really hard to leave. I don't know if I ever will. 

Valentines Day!

My mommy sent me a cute little package with candy and even some stuff for my roommates! She got me these sweet glasses. Mmm. Love her. It was adorable and made me really really happy! Things are going good here, I am learning a lot and loving the snow! Utah is so funny because it tricks you. The snow melts and so you put on your teva's and shorts and then you wake up to a blizzard! Its crazy!

Apartment J.

This past sunday we had a superbowl party! A few people from our floor came over and we gorged ourselves on 7-layer dip and potato salad. It was marvelous. But... Royce happened to be sick and seems to have spread his wealth with everyone in attendance. I guess you could now call "Apt J" the house of the leopars. Both me and Cyd have come down with the flu. Its been dark rooms, romantic movies, 7up, and naps with our edward blankets for the past two days. It bothers me to be so unproductive, I even missed some classes. But I have to admit its been nice to stay home with my girl and try to re-coop. We've been like the blind leading the blind. Its quite funny to have two sick people trying to take care of each other. I also locked my keys in the car and still haven't been able to get them out. Sometimes you just have to laugh. Life is just so funnnnny. One thing after another!
