You really only get over someone when you find someone you like better.

another day in my life...

it is another day in my life.  i really hate saying goodbye to people and today i had to say goodbye to my who i have worked with for the last year.  she has been a great influence on our company.  we def are going to miss her at work.  it will be ok.  we will get over it.  we cant have the best forever.  just for a moment then they are gone.

taking the next step

Well I am pretty sure the time has come for me to move out. It has been a wonderful time here but...it is just time. I am growing up and wanting to do my own things and the parents are not like that so much. I have already been informed that I have to be moved out by May. It also has been moved to December. I am not real sure how serious that one is. I know that it is May for sure though. I am just tired and done with it though. So....short of the long. I am looking for a new place to call home. I have a few ideas but am not real sure what I am going to do or where this new road is going to take me. :) We will see. It is def going to be a growing and learning experience for me. I think that it is going to be good though. At least i hope that it is. :)

update on life

Man it sure has been a while since I have written a post and updated everyone on the happenings in my life. Well honestly there is not a whole lot which has happened but some has so I guess that it is a good time to update.

I am just sitting here watching conference and thinking about how despite the stresses in my life, it is ok and that I am going to make it through and be better for having went through the trials.

I am still going to school here at CSI. It has been a good time. It is a learning experience. I am not sure that I am doing so much learning as far as the education goes. I am really learning alot about life and the stresses that comes with growing up and being an adult.

As i sit here thinking about how almost a year ago my friend left on a mission to Tempe, Arizona, it scares me. I know that I have accomplished a lot but on the other hand I sit here and think about how, what have I done in the year that he has been gone?

I am so blessed in life though. I have such a great and loving family. I also have many fantastic friends. Friends that live here in Twin Falls as well as all over the United States and some which are even out of the states at the moment.

It has been amazing to me to learn of the effect which I have on people everyday. It makes me real happy inside. I had no idea how much some people really look up to me. I try to live my life in a way that would allow me to never have any regrets. I think about what I have to say and think, if this is the last thing that I ever say to this person is it really what I want to say. Is it truly how i feel? I have learned that because of this I have had a tremendous impact on the lives of people.

I have been trying to slow down in life and not take everything so serious. I am trying to build relationships and do things that I would not normally do. I have done a lot more hanging out and not as much being an adult per say. Life is too short to be taken so seriously all the time.

Well I guess that is enough update for now. Until next time...

45 Things to Remember in Life

I saw this on a friends page and thought that it was super cool and true. She bolded the ones that she thought were most important and so did I. I just took it and copied it into a word file to keep forever and unbolded the ones she thought were important and then bolded the ones that I thought were. It is really kinda interesting and cool. I would suggest it to anyone, and maybe add a few of your own to the list.

Here are mine for you all to see.

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone and everything..
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do..
35. Don't audit life... Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

INTENSE WEEKEND

What an intense weekend. My Grandpa who has been fighting cancer for the last nearly three years was admitted to the ICU. They were not real sure what was wrong and still are not real sure what is wrong. They just keep finding things that are wrong. It is def getting to the point that the curtains are beginning to close on his life. It has been a life well lived and a fight well fought. When that time comes it will be alright. I think that the family is beginning to be a little more accepting. It is really hard that is for sure.

Faith in God includes faith in His timing
