Summer Resolutions

As I have been reading other peoples blogs I have realized that many people are making summer resolutions if you will. So I decided to write on some things I would like to change. I am not perfect ( I know shocking right lol). I have lately been thinking (especially on sundays) what I can do to improve myself. I realized that my brothers have been staying away from t.v. and videogames etc. and have seen the change it has brought over them. I decided that I need to stay away from movies that don't invite the spirit into my life. Mainly staying away from pg-13 movies except for Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I mean staying away from those that I wouldn't feel comfortable watching if the Savior was sitting by me. I have also realized how I tend to talk without listening. I am going to try harder to actually listen to people or like Brian Regan puts it stop using the ME monsters. I also want to work on not caring what people think of me. Not everyone is going to like me and I need to accept that. I need to not worry about what others think because the only people who I care about what they think of me is my family. I also want to not be afraid of trying new things. For instance I am going with a group from UVU to the tetons and we are going river rafting. River rafting scares me but I am going to face the fear and go river rafting because I know I will be safe if I wear my life jacket. I also went on the ski lift at sundance for the fourth with my parents. I faced my fear of heights and did it. Of course I won't do anything stupid but I am not going to let my irrational fears take over. I have been loving singles ward and am still doing GREAT in school! Mainly because of my excellent professors. I also am going to try fencing with my sister-n-law which should be a fun adventure. I am also loving the single life. I am trying to do all the things I want to do and have to be single for like EFY counseling, palmyra pageant, running the amazing race with my dad, and also accomplishing my education. I don't want to have any regrets when I get married. I want to have done everything I wanted to do so I can be the type of wife and mother that my future husband and kids deserve. Anyways that is my post for this week. And mainly I have realized that these past few months are that friends come and go but your family will never leave you. They are your true friends.
