Long Time Again

Lets just say that my life has been hectic lately. I have been trying to find time to not only do homework but workout and spend time with family. I have felt lately that a lot of my teenage years have been so focused on school I have forgotten how to just let loose and be crazy. Slowly but surely I have been going to Ward Activities thanks to my new calling as Co-Chair of Ward Prayer which has been a blessing in disguise. I have also gotten even more involved at school with activities and the Mentors. I am currently driving up to Layton every T/Th for a class I need to apply for the Respiratory Therapy program in October of 2012!! FINALLY!!!!!!! I am so excited for that. I am applying for jobs at BYU and internships pretty much wherever.

The greatest thing ever is now I am wanting to be set up with people. It is amazing. I really never liked being set up but now I pretty much tell everyone and anyone if you know someone I would love to go out and party! I also love having my cousin at BYU. She has been getting me involved not only in workout classes but with her roommates. She is the sweetest to do that and invite me. I love spending time with my niece and nephews. They are the cutest. My favorite activity of late is going to Rachels and playing with Madison and her Barbies and now she has a new room so I will need to go check that out. That is me as of late I am going to try and post more. Love ya'll! Oh by the way my sister is now 30!!! And I am so grateful to her for praying for me to come to my family! Also Trevor and I are the new family historians. Ask us anything we know.

Long Time

It has been a long time and I don't know where to begin. Life has been pretty stressful for me lately. I am literally so excited for Christmas break. Because even over Thanksgiving I will be studying like a mad woman just to try and pass my class. I have never had so much trouble with a class. Luckily I have a certain someone who writes to me once a month and they seem to come at the hardest times in my life and they make me so happy. He is awesome! He gets back in May which is crazy how fast that is! Anyways.... At school I am dealing with bullies and junk like that hopefully Monday it will all be taken care of.

I have been trying to go to all my church meetings even ward prayer. And I actually have been meeting some pretty cool people. Come to find out my neighborhood has people my age here. SHOCKER! I really am just trying to get through these next months and hopefully life will get a bit easier. In the summer I am not taking any classes. HALLELUJAH! Thanks everybody for thinking of me and calling me. You know who you are. Especially my big sister, aunt, and mom for helping me get through this barrier at school. It has meant a lot to me to have you guys there.

Life is overall good though. I am still losing weight and trying to work out every day.

LOVE YA'LL

What a Month....

So this month school has been crazy! It will finally settle down this weekend actually. So I decided while I was sitting here waiting to go to my mentoring class I would write on my blog since I haven't in a long time. My mom and sister are finally back from their trip which is super nice! I didn't really like living on my own for a week. It was pretty boring. It was nice when I needed to do homework but other than that I talked to myself or sang really loud. I don't like silence where most people do I don't. I had the flu last monday and got better by monday night. I then had to cram for a test that I am taking today. I had a calling to fulfill and on top of everything I managed to do everything I needed to do. I have a new found appreciation for little kids. I love my neice and nephews. At times they drive me crazy but I realized when they were gone that life isn't interesting when they aren't around. They are my joy! I love them so much. I can't wait for fall break so I can spend more time with them and catch up on some sleep. I am cutting my hair on Thursday and will post pictures after. Then tonight I am going with my mom to the gym and then for some facials. My dad is still in India...but he says he will be home Friday. I guess we will see about that.....I can't wait to see him. He is probably a skinny little thing since all he has lived on is water and protein bars because everything looks super scary to eat down there. My siblings have helped me out so much this week especially Trevor for coming over when I needed someone the most during the flu. Also Steven and Kristi were there when I was the lonliest eating dinner and watching movies with me! But staying home alone has made me a stronger individual and I know now that I am pretty independent.

Twilight Zone

So first I must apologize but my life has been HECTIC! Between school, mentoring, family, and church I am booked which is a good thing because time goes by faster and soon May will be here. If you don't know what happens in May you should find out fast! haha. So anyways....today my professor that I mentor with was taking a business test so he got a substitute (another professor at UVU who has his Masters in facial expressions and body reading). He came in and told the class he could read us just by looking at our body and how we hold ourselves. I totally believed him because of what my friend who is a mentor, Jeff, told me about him. My class kept saying Chelsea you got to have him read you so we can see if it is true. I kept telling them no but finally at the end of class I asked him to read me he said he would. It was INSANE! He told me that first I love to talk and be heard but no one listens. I have to speak 3-4 times before I am heard! Trevor and Kristi and Debbie will testify that is true. Then he told me that I am a very happy person and have a lot of love to give. He told me that my future spouse will be a very lucky man because of how much love I am willing to give. He warned me to be careful though because some guys will take advantage and walk all over me. I am going to heed his warning. Anyways those are the two things that I loved from it. I have also really come to appreciate the Atonement more. I thought i understood it but these past few weeks I have realized again what an amazing gift it is! I am so grateful for everything I have been given especially my family! They are truly a gift! I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. Dating=hard. For those interested in my love life I so far have not gone on any dates. I don't want to ask guys out I want to be asked out. I have been told by many a people that they want to hook me up with sons, grandsons, and friends. Nothing has happened. So I will keep playing it cool until I get asked. I really wish Gilbert Blythe would come sweep me off my feet but he is stuck in a movie! :( Love ya'll!

The Atonement

Lately I have been thinking about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I have finally realized or I should say comprehended what the Atonement is. I have realized that Jesus Christ knows me (literally). I didn't understand that before but He KNOWS Me. He knows my fears, strengths, weaknesses, pain, and everything I go through. Today in Sacrament Meeting a girl in my ward gave her talk and used the footprints in the sand poem. That is what Christ's atonement is for. He carries us in the lowest times of our lives. He has carried me. He has never left me alone. I never understood that until my Tetons Trip and for some other things that have been going on in my life it hit me hard. I am trying more to rely on my Savior. To have Him carry my burdens and help me through the rough patches. We all need the atonement whether it is for forgiveness or just for some understanding. I have been trying more to pray to my Savior about helping me through the trials that I have faced lately. And I can say that He has carried me, comforted me, and given me strength to keep moving. I am so grateful to my Savior.

Who Says!

Lately I have been listening to the song Who Says by: Selena Gomez. It is my new theme song. Some of the lyrics are: I wouldn't wanna be anybody else. You made me insecure. Told me I wasn’t good enough. But who are you to judge when you’re a diamond in the rough. I’m sure you got some things
You’d like to change about yourself But when it comes to me I wouldn’t want to be anybody else. I really like these lyrics it echos how I have been feeling lately. In junior high and high school there were some people who made fun of me and let me tell you it was hard. I was confused about who I was and why people were treating me this way. I finally realized that I don't want to be anybody else. I like who I am.
The next set of lyrics that I love are: I'm no beauty queen. I'm just beautiful me.......Who says, who says your not perfect. Who says your not worth it. Who says your not perfect...Who says your not beautiful. The reason why I love these lyrics is because I have finally felt beautiful. I have slowly been losing the weight that I gained a year ago. I know I wasn't obese but I was overweight and didn't feel good anymore. This song is my new theme song. I am going to try to remember that I am beautiful and who cares what people say. You are the only one that matters. I have finally realized that. I am no longer trying to get the approval of others because that is impossible. I am just going to work on loving myself and getting my approval which is possible.

Finals are over!

Today is a great day because FINALS are over!! No more school! I can now enjoy the rest of my summer vacation! I am so pumped. I can also catch up on sleep and maybe watch some chick flicks. I have endless possibilities! I got a 77% on my comprehensive final which is awesome for me! Now all I need to make this week is a letter from Andrew! He must be super busy which is great but at the same time I love getting his letters. I am still coming up with ideas for my list of 25 things. It is a working progress. I think that is all for now.
