Life and Why is Blogging so Hard?

Well I stink at blogging (officially)! I get on and check on my friends blogs and family but I don't write on mine. I need to be better cause it is a great way to keep everyone involved in my life. I can't talk to a lot of you as frequently as I would like to so blogging is awesome! I just need to be better.
Since last writing I have been volunteering as a UV Mentor. An instructor at UVU found out I was bored this summer and called me up to see if I would be willing to volunteer as a mentor with him. I know how important mentoring is for the students so I agreed plus it looks great on my resume and applications for graduate school. I have had the whole class last week and part of this week cause he is on a trip at a presentation. YES! I am teaching a college class! CRAZY eh? Then just a week ago I had another professor email and say she was working on a research project and needed students to help. I have been praying for an opportunity like this for sometime because it will help me get into graduate school. So now I am doing that with her and some other students. I am really excited!
Then I was stinking at staying in shape and healthy. My cousin, Abby, called me to tell me how well she was doing and helped me recommit to my goal. I am now back on track. I am avoiding sugary treats and get dessert only on Sunday. If I eat dessert during the week I have to do 50 sit ups (Preston's idea). I have to do 150 sit ups for last week. :( I messed up on friday and saturday. I just got through doing 20 sit ups. I now DO NOT want to mess up again. Sit ups suck!!!! I have been playing tennis more and am loving it! Preston and I are going to try out for the next summer olympics. haha. Just kidding. He is really good and I am getting better. I also weighed in today and Saturday and have been losing weight so I am really excited for that.
This week has had its up and downs for sure but I am so grateful for the people in my life who listen to me and care about me. I don't know where I would be without good friends and family to help me through the tough times. Everything is going great with Preston and I. We have been having a lot of fun and he just got a job! Which is great! It is a little sad since I have been used to seeing him a lot but this is good for when school starts and we both get busy again. Overall Life is good! I can't complain cause I have seen so many tender mercies from my Heavenly Father that there is no reason to complain. He has been my rock and I see Him more and more in my life. He is constantly guiding me in the direction He wants me to go. I am grateful for that. I love this gospel and my life.
