Splattering my thoughts on the wall...

       Oh the glorious Fall. Novemember. It is November. The time has flown so quickly. This is gonna be one of those blogs that I ramble until I get out everything I need to. I'll try to section it so it makes sense. But I am not promising anything.      So a lot has happened since I have been home. I have begun to grow up. Not that I wasn't acting like an adult before, I just was still acting slightly like a teenager. As a 20 year old, that is ok still. As I progressed to turning 21, I was taught multiple lessons. Some from people around me, that I love and Trust. Some from people who broke my heart. And some were sent to me in many forms through Heavenly Father. I have learned and I have grown. Blossomed almost, from these many lessons, trials if you will. And you know what? I don't think I would change anything if I could. I wouldn't want to. Not even when I was acting sassy, or when I was hiding my issues in a bag until I wanted to deal with them. I have learned for a reason, and I love what I have learned. I am learning to embrace every bit of it.
      I am multi-faceted. A precious jewel in the works. So, there are a lot of angles to me. One of them being, I am a college senior now. WOWZERS. I am a little frustrated with classes right now, mainly because I need one (Family stress and Coping) and it is full. The teacher said come and crash the class and keep my eye out for people who drop,  but it makes me sad that I am not guaranteed a spot right now. Oh well. But yes, I am a senior! As my time at home as begun to quickly come to an end, I am realizing how excited I am to go back to BYU-I. Yes I will miss my family dearly, and my friends, but a new adventure lies ahead for me in Idaho.
      I kind of slipped into a rutt awhile ago. It was a plateau I hit in my spirtuality. I went to church, I have a testimony, I listened to lessons. I wasn't however reading my scriptures as I should have been. I also slacked on my praying. Now, people might say "eh, it's ok. You're not a bad person and you still have a strong testimony." That is how it all starts though. Now, normal people's lives might not be that affected by this too much. My life is always very affected when I stop reading my scriptures and stop praying. Call me crazy, but I think it's because I have always felt that I have a strong connection with Heavenly Father, and when I don't have those ways to talk and learn, I start to slip. Happy days though, I have begun to read my scriptures again ( in 3rd Nephi, WOOT) and praying every morning and every night. I can just picture Heavenly Father laughing at me as I crawl out of bed and pray, quite groggily. Either way, He knows my intentions.
       Now, as my last weeks in California start to dwindle, I am learning what is most important, who is most important and how to spend my time. Arts and Crafts have been a priority, as well as Family Time, Calee time and Church choir time. I love every minute of my days now, and I begin each morning with "Today is going to be an amazing day." And you know what? They all have been.
      Ok... That is it for now... but be on the look out for more of my crazy ramblings. Until then, enjoy the fun and wacky blogs I like to do! Peace, Love, Happiness

Happy Birthday to me...

Yes Folks, I am now 21 years old. So this is how it went down! On saturday, Calee decided to spend the day with me! We went to Nordstrom Rack, where she bought me the CUTEST pair of black boots for my birthday! We then proceeded to head to the Carlsbad Outlets. My first trip there! Totally worth it! After our shopping adventures, we went back to calees where she did Laundry and I took a nice nap in her COMFY bed! ( I will so miss her mattress when I go back to Idaho) Then, she woke me up so I could get ready to go to Dinner! Calee-Belle, Me and Rae met up with our group and we went to The Hard Rock Cafe. I love it there! I loved having everyone at my day before my birthday dinner! On my actual Birthday, my parents, baby brother and I went to Disneyland!!!! It was SO MUCH FUN! I havent been in a year, and for me, that is way too long! So, we had an amazing day as a family and the Fireworks were incredible. Thanks to my roomie ash, we got the best spot and watched the cool fireworks just for Halloween! I am now 21. Weird, but nice. I loved every minute of it. The only thing that could have made it better is if Maria were there too! But I get to see her soon! Enjoy the pics!! Peace, Love, Happiness

XOXOXOX

Rainy Days and Mondays...

Good afternoon my friends. Yes, it is Monday. A good monday? Maybe... I'm still determining that. So updates: Tiffany Mowry is now officially Tiffany Olsen. I went to an old friends wedding reception saturday night. That adds one more to all of my many friends who are married. Wanna hear something even more exciting/ depressing? Madeline Hayes Gordon is now Pregnant, My friends from school Amy and Whitney are pregnant as well. Amy is having a girl, and Whitney is having a boy!  This makes me happy because 1. I don't have to actually go through the phsycical pain to be able to enjoy these babies when they come. 2. I get to be Aunty Amber again ( well, kind of) and 3. Baby showers and Lots of babysitting time! How is this depressing you ask? Because I am not married and pregnant. I'm not engaged with a pretty ring. I don't even have a boyfriend. Sigh. Oh well, thats life. It is currently fall in california. Rainy looking today, but I love bundling :D. Ok. better get back to work. I'll post more tomorrow. :D Peace, Love, Happiness

XOXOXO

Home Again...

Conference was AMAZING. Can I just say how much I love listening to our Prophet Thomas S. Monson, and all of the apostles. I adored Elder Hollands talk. I completely Loved Elder Packer's talk as well as Eyring's. The trip to Utah was long, but fun as was the trip itself. Well, It was a bitter sweet. Let's just say that not all people are what you think they are. Seeing Morgan wasn't all it was cracked up to be. That's ok. I'm getting over that. I did however get to spend time with Tiffany and Daniel. I was able to go see Alana and Baby Ava ( who I was able to hold!) Sweet baby Ava is beautiful and I loved every second I was able to hold her. I got to see Collin, as well as Kyle. I got the special treat to see my roomies: Miss Heidi Jo and Lauren Michelle. I almost peed my pants with happiness. It was a bonding experience driving to and from Utah with Miss Rae Rae, Calee Belle and Carlsbad. I am glad to be home. For so many reasons. I am glad to be home.  Peace, Love, Happiness

Why I can't get anything done...

Was it just me or did that week go by way fast?! Let's hope Thursday comes quickly and the weekend lasts forever. So, there was a mouse that died in the wall at the office. And I can't even go in the back office because the smell is so horrible. Hence, work in the front and getting off early (: I'm not complaining. I have SO much to do still before thursday, around the house and to prep for the trip. I still need jeans, lotion and I need to vaccuum my room! All in all, it will be a busy week until thursday night, when Rae Rae, Calee-Belle and Carlisle and I go on our road trip to Utah! Don't worry, I'm breathing. Nervous still, but breathing. I am feeling better about seeing morgan, as we talked about it. hahaha. I just wish I had the money to buy new clothes, because 1. I want to update my wardrobe and 2. I don't fit in my clothes anymore, they're all falling off. Oh well, I get to spend tomorrow after work with Miss Calee Belle and I can't wait, Vicki's, and Burlington coat factory. Oh happy day! Well, I better get back to work. I hope everyone has a FABULOUS monday. Remember: Peace, Love Happiness.

XOXOXOX
