this is MY Family

the old and the new

"Out with the Old, In with the New" I know that is the saying, but does that mean that you actually have to get rid of the old... can't you just keep it in a drawer or something? I think you should be able to. It is hard for me to imagine that I am not as close to Hilarie, Abby, Jill, Jen, or Cecily as I used to be. They were a part of every aspect of my life from (conservatively) 9th grade through 12th. Now we see each other maybe once a week, and just get the glossed over version of each others' lives. In so many ways I miss them, I miss the smiles, and the discussions, the fun and the tears. But in other ways, I have my roommates now, and they are amazing. I love talking to them, and learning from them. But even then, I know that is just going to change again... see!!! Wouldn't it be nice to just put the good in the drawer and be able to take it out and have had nothing change? What a sad day that Danielle is moving out. She has been my best friend this year, and I am going to loose her too. Along with everyone else that has ever meant anything special to me. Well, besides my family, I am glad that they will always be there.

I was lucky enough to be able to go with Robbie to my very first BYU football game, and it was really fun. Definitely cannot complain. Have a good week. ps: I am excited to see Sean this week!

Halloween

AHH!! My roommates and I looked SO good. And we had a FUN Ward Halloween Party. So, the pictures: John and me singing karaoke at the party. My roommates dancing at the party: Kaylie, Katie, and Jess. And then us again afterwards at our apartment having fun.

another week.

I made it through the week. Amazing.... I really didn't think that I would have. But after an O Chem test, and a Physics test, and my 201 Chem final (which WAS accepted), and a test review that I GAVE for my Chem 105 students, you know what I realized that I could do almost anything. Now I only have one more test to take before the next round of tests - which I am worried about, but you know what? I made it through everything else doing pretty well, and I think that I can do this one too. So basically, it has been a good, productive week. I've learned and studied lots, and although there is a lot more to do - I can make it through. Actually this week was even more hectic than just tests, for there was the living aspects of life to deal with too: cleaning checks, making dinner for the girls, putting up Halloween decorations, and piano lessons, and grocery shopping, and birthdays, and family, and friends, and callings. It is amazing that the Lord allows us the time and means to get done all that is placed before us. I don't know, this is further proof to me of His existence, and hand in my life. He is watching out for me, and as I do my best He will take care of the rest... doesn't necessarily mean "A's" but it means what is best for us. So, here is to another week, I made it through.
