Sunday Posts

I've made a new goal for myself to write a blog post at the very least every Sunday. I'm terrible about journal writing, so I think this is a good goal and I'll do my best to stick to it!

In my head, this week was going to be terrible. I had two midterms this week one of which was for Physical Science the worst class in the world. I was completely and utterly stressed about it. I seriously was just straight up convinced that I was going to fail. Nonetheless, I went to the review session and studied like crazy. I decided I would take the test on Saturday morning. I got up and went to the gym with my friend Sam (more about my new attempt at a healthy life later), and then we both went to the Testing Center together to take our tests. As I sat there, I said a silent prayer before I started the test. As I was taking I felt that I was really understanding each question. I was focused and read each question closely and was feeling pretty confident. I turned in my test, descended the walk of torture between the testing room and the T.V. screen and when I looked up at my score, I saw that I had gotten a B!! I was beyond excited! I know that I did not get that B on my own. I had the help of my Heavenly Father the entire time that I was taking that test. He helped me to stay calm and focused, and to recall the information that I had learned and studied. It never ceases to amaze me that despite the fact that there are billions of people on this Earth, he knows me individually. He is so willing to help me when I ask, and for that I am so grateful.

Another highlight of this week was going snow tubing at Soldier's Hollow with my ward! It was a blast! My friends and I had so much fun both on our 45 minute car ride and the actual tubing! It was such an awesome ward activity! It was freezing, but we were having way too much fun to notice!

Yesterday was a day of sports! We went to the men's basketball game which they won! To top it all off, it was the one and the only Jimmer Fredette's birthday yesterday! He came and talked to the crowd during halftime and everyone went nuts! We got a free poster, so the sexy basketball team now hangs on my wall next to the sexy men's volleyball team! What more could a girl want? We went to the men's volleyball game last night which they lost, but they're hot so it's okay. All around, a great day!

Finally, I along with my two good friends Samantha and Alyssa are working on getting in shape! We made a work out plan and set some rules for nutrition! We worked out every single day this week, minus Sunday for obvious reasons, and I've felt so great! I've been eating healthier and it's awesome! I'm so glad that we're doing it together so that we can motivate each other! woo!

So that's my week in a nutshell. Get siked for next week to hear more about my oober exciting life!

My Journey to Self-Confidence

This is a picture of me almost exactly three years ago: And this is a picture of me now: Now, you might be thinking this is one of those stories that you see in Weight Watchers ads on T.V. endorsing a diet. I promise it's not. This journey was about so much more than a number on a scale. It was about working towards being able to recognize my divine nature as a daughter of God. I'll start at the beginning. When I started my freshman year at BYU, my self-confidence was at an all time low. I would try on about five outfits every morning, look in the mirror, and then immediately change. My low self-esteem was reflected in the way I talked to people, the way I dressed, and just the overall way that I carried myself. I compared myself to everyone else around me and was constantly tearing myself down. My lack of self-esteem seemed so obvious, yet it seemed like no one truly understood how I felt. I knew I needed to make some changes, but I just didn't know how. Af...

A Slight Transformation

So I'm sitting here procrastinating homework, the usual, I really need a spring break, but anyhow, I was looking through some pictures and I found this. This is a picture of my sisters and I last Christmas break (Dec 2011) And this is a picture of me and my sisters from this past Christmas break one year later (Dec 2012): A lot is the same between these two pictures. We're the same four sisters. Other than Abby and I swapping places we're standing in the exact same order. Both were taken at my grandparents' house in Virginia while I was on break from BYU. And these three girls are still my three dearest friends in the world. At the same time, a lot has changed. We've grown a little bit, both as people and in height (well except for me). Amy got accepted to BYU (YES!), Abby started middle school, Jenn's become a little singing star! I decided what to do with my life and began pursuing a degree in Elementary Education. The biggest change between these pict...

London Living

I've learned a few things in the two days since I left the U.S. First of all, flying internationally is AWESOME. Going through customs, not so awesome but I'll get there. You're greeted at your seat by a pillow and blanket, you get served Indian food for dinner, and there's tons of T.V. shows and movies to watch. I didn't sleep much, and thus was a bit disoriented when we landed at 7 am London time, while my body was on Virginia time where it was the middle of the night. I completely forgot that my dad had told me that before you go through passport control, there's a landing form you have to fill out. When my half asleep half awake self handed the border patrol officer my passport I was met with a very dirty glare as he angrily asked where my landing form was. He handed me one after I explained that I had forgotten to grab one, but not without a bit of eye rolling. I frantically filled it out and made it through customs in one piece after being questioned about...
