One Lucky Girl!

Hey Everyone,
I have rededicated myself to blogging. This summer I would like to post weekly in my blog to keep everyone updated on my life. I also feel like this is my personal journal since I am to lazy to write in mine.  :)
So my mom, dad, and I traveled home from a 2 week stay in Oregon with my Aunt (Debbie), Uncle (Kevin), and cousin (Ethan). We had many great adventures including swimming, hiking, going to the coast, spa day and whale watching. It was such a fun 2 weeks and a nice break from the stresses of life. We got back on Tuesday night at around 12 a.m. 
Since being home I have gone to Institute, Ran, Ward Sports Night, Park City Adventure, Mall Shopping, and Movie Night. :)
I have been pretty busy since coming home. I interviewed at Build-a-Bear which I am hoping I get the job! I would love to work there! Cross your fingers! It was a group interview with 8 people. It was the funnest interview of my LIFE!!! We were asked questions and got to build a bear and then sell it to the managers. I had a fox that I dressed in a cute hoodie and pants. When I was selling it I said: "You are a five year old boy." She said okay. I then asked her what her favorite animal was and she said a fox! That is when I had a Brian Reagan moment where the words are already out so you just have to finish the sentence even though you know it is not right. I said: "Did you know that the fox is the fastest animal in the world!! The manager laughed so hard she started to cry. She told me you just lied to a little kid. I told them well I am trying to sell it here. LOL! Ya I turned bright red!!! 
I also feel like the luckiest girl in the world because I have been dating this guy who always makes me feel so beautiful. We go running together and even when I am all sweaty he tells me how pretty I look. I am so lucky to have him in my life at this point. That is why this is titled one lucky girl cause I feel so blessed. Heavenly Father sends the little tender mercies that boost my spirits up.  I am really one lucky girl! I have amazing parents, friends, and family who always have my back no matter what the situation is. I love everyone who either is in my life or has been in my life and what I have learned from each individual. 

Summer Adventures

School is finally out for the summer! So now I know a lot of you are asking what is Chelsea going to do with her life since school pretty much consumes her whole life. Well since school has been out I have gone on dates and actually had a social life. I got reapplied for the mentoring program and they cut a lot of the old mentors but I made it!!! I love the mentoring program and am so excited to continue in the program. 

What the future holds for my education I have no idea. I am thinking of applying for respiratory therapy in the Fall and pretty much if I make it in; I make it in if not I will transfer to BYU and get my masters in health education. I have realized that in the future I want to open up a facility where I can help obese people lose the weight in a healthy way. I want to help obese children and stop the pandemic with our children. This means I would probably need to get a coaching license. 

Social Life well this has been interesting. I have been seeing a really awesome boy lately. I met him in my ward and we have been casual dating each other.  We have spent a lot of time together since I left on a roadtrip for 2 weeks and before that he went to Idaho for a couple days. We are in an open relationship and just are enjoying getting to know each other and having fun together. We have done a lot of fun stuff! We have gone running together, made cookies, watched movies, and played video games together (he is trying to help me learn how to play 007 and some other games). I am not a gamer but it has been fun. Then one of my best friends gets home from his mission in JUNE!! 3 weeks!!! It is crazy and then some of my big brothers get home after that. I am excited to see them all again. 

My mom and I left on April 30 for a road trip to Oregon. My brother Trevor tagged along and we are very grateful he came. Some scary stuff happened and if he hadn't been there I don't know where my mom and I would be today. He left on May 5th and my mom and I are staying until the 16. My dad is going to join us on the 11th! I am so excited to see him. I haven't seen him in awhile so it is going to be good to have him with us for Mothers Day. 

I am so blessed in my life to have such good friends, family, and education. My parents have always supported and been there for me and I will be forever indebted to them for what they have done for me. I love being up in Oregon with pretty much my 2nd parents. My aunt and uncle are amazing and I love them so much! I am so glad that I have this summer to make memories and to have fun before school starts again! The next time for when I get home is finding a job so if any of you have ideas let me know!

Thanks for being supports and always having my back! This is my life and I love it. I hope to keep my blog updated.

Trials

Firstly, I wanted to start out and thank my sister, mom, and aunt Debbie for all they do for me. Last week was a tough one for me. I was stressed with papers, tests, and then after all that ended up going on one of the most awkward dates of my life. I am not here to write about that. I have already done all my venting to these three women. My sister I know a lot of you know her but she is seriously one of the most incredible daughters of God I have ever met. She is a one of the kind mother with 3 kids all under the age of 5. She takes care of them when their sick and then she gets sick but she still continues to be a mother. She always has time to talk with me on the phone. I don't know how she does it but she does. Her advice is priceless to me. She is also one of the best listeners I have ever met. She doesn't ever try to fix my problems but just listens. Then when I ask she tells me what she did when she was my age. My mom is just an incredible lady. She drives me to my classes every Tuesday to Layton. She has supported me through bullying problems, social problems, and everything in between. She is my hero and one day I hope I can be as strong and as beautiful as she is. My mom has gone through so much in her life but always serves others not matter what the situation. She is one great woman. My Aunt Debbie is another incredible lady. She is my constant guide. She always has time for me or makes time for me. I love her to death and really there is no way to describe her and put her in the perfect light that she is in.

Lastly, The Lord blesses us when we have our down times through priesthood blessings and friends He blesses us with when we need it but it is always in His own timing and we need to have faith and trust that He knows what he is doing. We are never alone and He is always there. He never forgets us. He is our best friend and knows the right timing. I am so grateful to my father for being worthy of giving me blessings when I need that extra boost. I hope to find someone who is just like my dad. Thanks to everyone else for being there for me. :)

This One is For the Girls

So it has been a tough week for me. I have been super busy and wasn't able to really get out and work out except for on Saturday I went running. I have been thinking a lot lately and asking the question: "Why?" I was pretty down on myself Friday night because there were some boys who weren't really making life easy on me. It was like every word out of their mouths you would think: "Really? Did that just come out." I had a really bad attitude about men on Friday night which was bad because the next day I had a blind date with someone that Jordan and Rachel wanted to set me up with. After I came home and thinking about it I thought wait why do I care. It is their loss not mine. I can do better. That is what I kept telling myself.

Saturday rolled around and i had such a fun time on the double with Rachel and Jordan. They are amazing and I don't know how Jordan knew when he asked me a few weeks ago to do this that I really needed to feel special again. I had so much fun. I have been doing a lot better at thinking this is just for fun don't stress about the future. That has helped me enjoy going on dates. We went mini golfing Jordan and Rachel style and lets say my date and I kicked trash!!! haha. Then before that we went to Applebee's for lunch. So I just want to let the girls out there know who might be struggling with not feeling special that there is one who knows you. He loves you and knows when you need pick-me-ups. To those girls who think why am i not being asked out or why won't that boy like me? Lets just say between us it is their loss of not getting to know you. Life is too short to worry about them. I am so grateful to my Savior for knowing me and sending the people in my life when I need them the most. I am so blessed to have an amazing family who will always love me. Just a quick shout out to Debbie, my mom, Abby, Rachel, and Jordan who have been my examples and friends and who have helped me realize that it is okay to have fun and that it is always the boys' loss for not getting to know you. :)

Life As I know it

This semester has pretty much been crazy! I drive every Tuesday/Thursday up to Layton to the Weber Davis Campus. It has been draining to drive up there and then going back to UVU to get those classes done. Luckily my parents have supported me through all of it. Still no letters but that is okay. Life goes on. I am loving my new calling! It has gotten me super involved in my ward which has been so good for me. I am going to more activities, meeting new people, and making new friends. I am in a Dating and Courtship class which has proved to help me to mature and figure out more about myself. I have had not only family but friends trying to set me up which has been so funny. I take 2 night classes which is what is the right word here............long. There ya go it is long. Oh did I mention Monday was the best day I have had in a long time. I got to go behind the scenes of the Conference Center with my Uncle Escott and cousins: Zack, Dusty, Keenan, and Abby. My mom and Trevor and Heidi and last but not least my Tio Omar. He is an amazing example of being very classy and respectful to women. I also got to eat delicious Uruguayan food with my family and cousin Danny. It was delicious to have Empanadas again.

My friends are still getting married like crazy but I am so happy for them. I am also loving Once Upon a Time. It is my new favorite T.V. Show! For all those who haven't seen it you need to watch it ASAP!!! Overall Life is good and I am loving working hard and hopefully will see good grades at the end of this semester. It is the papers that are going to kill me in every class. I know that I can survive it. By the way did I mention I have incredible roomies. They are seriously the best. I have also been so grateful to my sister for being such a great example of mother and wife to me. She is amazing. Well I got to get back to the paper.

Ciao

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

Chelsea :)
