Ninjas, Pie and Dancing

Guess who has been super busy since her birthday???? ME!! Seriously... college did this roundhouse kick on me and now I finally finished finals.... so yes, now I have time to update this thing. :D

So I am no longer a teenager. I've been 20 for the past month or so. I haven't noticed that much of a change. I suppose it's just that time has gone by so fast. Seriously, I feel like high school only just happened. It's hard to believe that I just finished my second year of college. Wow.... Wow.... and now my little brother is graduating. I FEEL OLD!!!

The first thing I would like to state is how much I've moved forward. I am doing so well. I'm accomplishing things and working towards goals and smiling and I'm happy. And yes, I've even gone on a few dates. This, to me, is the most important thing I've accomplished this past year. Last year, when Adam passed away, I never thought I would be able to move on from that. I never thought I would date again or anything. And I've felt a lot of closure since then. Yes, I still miss him. I still hurt and I still love him. I will always love him and I will never stop loving him. But, I can love him and keep his memory and that love we felt strong in my heart and that's what I've done. I still have those hard days... but you know what? I'm happy. And I'm doing things with my life. Which is important. Not only that, but I went on dates!! I have hung out with guys and I don't feel guilty. I used to... I used to compare them to Adam and feel sad and upset. And I don't anymore. I feel like it's okay. I can step forward with my life... and I can do that and the world won't fall apart. Seriously, guys, you don't even know how good I feel about recognizing this in my life. So much contentment and peace!!! I really feel like that. And it brings tears to my eyes. Both good and bad tears.

What else has happened in my life?? I am officially USU's Big Band Swing Club's President. This is something I both am looking forward to and dreading. This club is starting to fall apart... not many people are interested in Swing. So, really my goal is to just keep this club going and trying to get it more publicity. I really hope I can manage that through the schedule I'll have next semester with my program. But, I really do love Swing. And I adore dancing. It's so much fun!!!

Alongside with dancing, I recently went to Colorado with USU's Swing Teams and we participated in the Intercollegiate Swing Battle (aka a weekend full of dancing). That was a huge blast. I had so much fun and just danced my cares away. I also went to the zoo with friends and that was fun too. College adventures are fun. I'm usually not one to just up and go to a weekend of dancing. But I did! :D I also got to see my dad briefly which was great!!! So, thanks to the teams for letting me join you guys. So here's some dancing (above) and zoo adventures (below) :D

What else did I do??? Well, before that trip to CO, I had easter with my family. That was fun. Just cause my family always does a big easter. But the real fun part was when I had to be a Ninja and break into my own house cause I got locked out. Here's my tale: I drove home with my Grandpa and he had to leave early, so my family wasn't home yet. HOWEVER, this is where I can say I'm a ninja. I got home... and the house, literally was ALL locked. Since when have they locked every single door???? I thought, "No big deal, I'll go through the garage." Nope.... the garage door hates me. It didn't open at all. So, I sat there, locked out, feeling really lame. Your mom can't help me, she's in salt lake. Finally I look at the kitchen window... where we put the t.v. when we hot-tub. It doesn't have a screen... and it's not locked. PERFECT!! I'll just hop right through that. Easier said then done. I'm so short that I couldn't get in very well. So I literally climbed in my nice sunday dress. But, I MADE IT!! lol So no worries guys. Cause I am a ninja!! :D (So here's some easter pics of me my mom and my little bro. We had fun)

GOSH!!! WHY IS MY BLOG SO LONG!! Seriously.... I need to stop having fun stories to tell. Keep reading guys. I promise it won't be that much longer.... (sorry)

So... that was April. (not in order... it was easter and then the dancing.... but ah well) SO NOW I made it to May. And May really hasn't been exciting. I had my finals. That was this past week. And before that I was swamped with projects and homework and practicum with kindergarteners and just lots of things. So, I've just been doing school and dancing and teaching. FYI, I love teaching. I really am meant to be a teacher, guys, cause I adore it. I have had so much fun in my program so far. I'm excited to see where it is gonna take me in my life. :D Teaching is a blast. And guess what??? I passed all my finals, not only that, I ACED them. 20/20, 97/100, and 47/50. Every final. Did super good. I'm pleased with myself. And now I'm done with school for the year and am going to work at the summer camp again and go to my brother's graduation. And that's been my adventures.

So yes. That's my life. And above is me hanging out with my friend Jody and Jason. To ease the stress of finals, we threw pie at each other. That was fun. :) So that's me with pie in my face. I hope you appreciate it.

And that's the end of this blog. Thanks for reading, if you even made it this far. To congratulate you, I offer you the above picture of me with pie. Cause I don't know when that will happen again. Love you all. Farewell for now.
