Wow. I am seriously a slacker writer sometimes. Well I don't have a time-turner so let's just pick it up from this point and sally forth.
I had so much fun this past year, sophomore year was nutso. I have amazing roommates Natalie, Hailey, Alisa, and Kay who I just met when we moved in to our Raintree apt and they are SO much fun! I am such a dork when it comes to friends, I never assume that someone will be willing to spend time with me so every single time we talked or hung out, I appreciated it. Bonfires, hiking, longboarding, talking, EATING, sleeping, watching movies on our movie theatre-style couches, hot tub, pool (it was a one-time affair really, way too cold), ETC. Basically, all you really need to know is that I took easier classes so I wasn't so stressed (I seriously considered dropping out for a semester to backpack through Europe) and it totally paid off. I met some amazing people who I loved getting to know and hopefully I will see them again when I live in Alta because I'll have a car (and my legs, it's only like a block over) and I plan on hot tub hopping.
It's getting down to the wire with my mission prep. This has been a very complicated decision for me. I am preparing to go full-force with it but there is a person who is really unique to me and I am intrigued enough to want to spend more time with said person before I fully commit to my mission. Talk to me in person if you want to know more. :)
I just got back from spending 4 full days babysitting/housesitting my two young cousins (5 and 3) and it was a blast. No, really. I love being in charge and being a "mom" catered to that idea completely. I got to make decisions constantly like: what food I made for them, how much tv time, how much play time, where we went for picnics, how the fort should be built (just kidding, they had a little bit of say), how much time we spent at the library, the list goes on. I really hope it's like that when I'm a mom because it was flipping fun. And I felt like I had super patience, considering that I'm not a particularly patient person, but I was super calm but had positive energy CONSTANTLY. Not to brag, but I was awesome. You all should seriously try it sometime, it made me excited to have my own kids. Ok, this is probably TMI but I'm not big into the filter lately. After all, April is Honesty Month! I'm going to be honest with myself and others about what is really important to me and how I feel about other people. I took a class at Disney (yep, it was a fru-fru class) but I had time to think about some cool things and one of the things the teacher talked about was to simply nix all of the crappy stuff in your life. Seriously let me throw in some cliches: YOLO, life is too short to spend it with people who don't deserve your time, live like you're dying, life is like a box of chocolates. Ok, the last one wasn't as relevant but I just wanted to address it: usually the boxes of chocolate that I buy have a menu thing on the back so I actually DO know what I'm going to get. I like to think of life as a grab bag from Plato's Closet. (do they still have those?)
Current obsession: Charlie the Perfect Dog. I am in deep trouble. I have fallen in love with a dog that I am not even guaranteed to adopt. I have to wait for the application to process and then a house visit (oh my gosh I need to plaster my bedroom walls with pictures of dogs asap so they know I'm serious) but it's basically blasphemous how much I adore this dog. It's a sheepadoodle (I know, cute) and this is what it looks like
That link should basically tell you how cute and perfect Charlie is, soon to be renamed Charli or Charly. (calm down Court, you don't own her yet) But anywho I'm going to just continue enjoying my time as a free spirit while I don't have school or work responsibilities. I am planning on working out now (never know when I'll see the hot neighbor this summer), then going to horseback riding with my sister, then dindin, then SKYPE with some of my favorite people ever: Lily, Alisa, and Natalie. If you want in, text me peeps. I will be looking rough though since I can't locate tweezers to tame my eyebrows so just accept that it's a wild day. Btw, the pics are ones I added in from some of my favorite things right now on PINTEREST. I am so Mormon, it's ridiculous but I can't help how fun this thing is, join and follow and I'll follow back.
