Week 3

Well here we go. This week wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be! I had something that I've always known reconfirmed to me without the course of this week: Heavenly Father has placed some pretty amazing people in my life. I've felt so much love and support from so many people this week! My mom sent me a letter and a care package, Becky sent me a letter, Sister Hatch sent me the sweetest e-mail ever, and my friends are just plain awesome. I am so blessed! My friend Sam and my roommate Alexis and I were talking last night about how it will be so interesting to see how this setback fits into the plan that Heavenly Father has for me. Someday it will all make sense. As much as I want to understand everything right now and know exactly what my future is going to be, that's not how Heavenly Father works. So, things are improving on that front.

This week I've been pretty much studying nonstop for tests. WOO. it's a blast really. This weekend I managed to squeeze in some fun though! My friends and I walked a 5K on Friday night! It was awesome. We came in last place, but we had so much fun! I had to take a test this morning, so after the 5K, Sam was awesome and came over and helped me study! When we finished, me, her, and Alexis talked forever and it was lovely. Today I took my Poli Sci test. As I was taking it I was pretty much convinced I'd failed, to the point that I wasn't even going to look at the T.V. screen to see my score. Well, I decided to look and found that I'd gotten an 87! I was pretty siked. Then I had to come home and study for my Physical Science test on Tuesday. Then I have a Book of Mormon test on Thursday! The fun NEVER stops! At least I get to go to the Hunger Games midnight premiere this week! I'm so excited! Anyways, today I went grocery shopping with my roommate. Then we got some Papa John's pizza and ate pizza for dinner with Sam and Mallory. It was delish. Now I should go to bed because I have church at 9 but I'm just not tired yet. Ah well. Ta ta for now!

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...
