Blessings Post... (A Precursor to my Girls Camp Recap Post)

-
This past week has been fantastic! I just got back from my 6th year of Girls Camp!! I went to look back on my past Girls Camp posts! I have had a recap post since my first year! It is amazing to look back and see how I've progressed the last couple years! I cannot even wrap my head around the fact that I am now officially a Senior in high school! I'm kind of freaking out so much! I only have four classes to go until I get my Associates Degree, but I'm a little bit worried because they're college science and math classes... But I know that as I pray and work hard it will turn out just fine! I have had such amazing service oppurtunities this year being Laurel president, High School Representative, and Seminary president, I'm just sad that my time is going to be crunched this next year and I won't be able to participate as much! I have throughouly enjoyed all my experiences! They have all been blessings in my life!

Something else that has totally change my life is that I got my drivers licence the day before my birthday!!! I love driving!! I really only drive to church, mutual, and work but it is so different from anything that I have ever done before. I always feel so grown up when I get behind the wheel! But I always make sure that I pray before I do! I have a testimony that it is vitally important for me to do so! Houston drivers are crazy, so I love driving at times when the roads are all but empty. Every time that I have prayed before leaving the roads are clear, or I'm able to get home without having to worry about getting in a wreck with a wreckless driver. It's kind of hard to explain how I see it as a blessing but I do... So yeah.

One last blessing that I have is having a stable job. They are so willing to work with my crazy whacked out scehdule, and they give me all the hours they can. Sometimes I wish I could just go find another job, but I love everyone I work with, and I enjoy getting to know some of the people who come in!

So pretty much this might be one of the last posts for a while, because I start summer school in a few weeks, and I'll be working a lot more. Oh!! And I have a talk on Sunday...But that is a story for another time! :) Farwell!

    Isn't girls' camp THE BEST? I'm so happy you went all 6 years and did all the awesome YCL stuff! I know some girls that only go for 4 or 5 years, and they SO miss out.

    I just got back from camp Saturday afternoon (I was a cabin Mom this year) and it was amazing! I loved it so much, and so did our girls!

    Zach Face got a job in April, working at the movie theater that's just 3 minutes' drive away from our house. He loves it, and like your job, they are great at working around his scheduling needs. Also, they respect his request to never work on Sunday! And HEY! He gets to go to movies for free all the time, and he can bring his parents for free, woo hoo!

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
