Yeah Buddy

Friday and Saturday I worked wayyy too long and was in desperate need of family time. (you know when you just need that?) and I am so thankful I live so close to family. I drove down to Bountiful to have a sleepover with my niecey Ro, Paige and my bro (kind of-he was at work until 3 am). The little get away was just what I needed. It seemed like everything was just so perfect.

Me too. Click here

best buddies

There is a program called best buddies. "Best Buddies is a nonprofit organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities." I have the privilege of helping out with the best buddies program here at USU. I love it! Being around these buddies changes your life and helps you appreciate the simpler things.

We had our Best Buddies Halloween party last night and it went great! I think everyone had a lot of fun. The sweet Sig Ep boys sponsored it and they were a huge help. We also were very fortunate to get lots of donations for the party from Maceys, Smiths, Lees, and The Food Pantry. No one from there is problem reading this, but thank you! I love the best buddies program. It really is amazing. There most likely is a best buddies program near you. Want to get involved? Click here.

hi there

Oh Hi there! I'm writing about my personal life lately because I want it documented. But feel free to read. (I should probably be a more private person but whatev) 


I decided to go on a mission. Everything pointed toward it and I got a very clear answer from God that I was supposed to go. It was what I was supposed to do.
I meet boy.
Boy and I start dating.
I get my mission papers
and keep dating..
we have fun and keep dating..
Mission is on pause
I feel so confused about life and just conflicted
boy and I keep dating
things between boy and I start dwindling
I realize boy, although he is amazing, is not my prince charming
I decide I really need to still go on a mission
I tell boy
boy tells me this gives him closure because he was feeling like our relationship wasn't right
things end very cordially with boy and I 
I am overcome with peace..a peace I haven't had since the day I very first decided to go on a mission..
a peace that helps me know things are going exactly as they need to be going
a peace that helps me remember that God is the one directing my life
a peace that makes me know that God has the best intentions for me in the plan He has for me.
I am almost done filling out my mission papers.:-)
