There are so many things that I am trying to figure out in my life at this moment. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on life and that I am doing a fairly good job at maintaining my sanity, but life always throws you curves. Always.
As of late, I am still dating Brandon and I love it. We have so much fun together. Seriously. I can not think of anyone that I love being with as much as him. There are things in our relationship that we are still working out though. One of those things is FEAR. We are both scared of what may or may not happen between us. We both want more to come of what we have, but our relationship is still so young. I'm learning that both of us are pretty impatient people and we just want answers now, but I think that this is for sure a learning time for both of us. We care about each other enough that we are trying to be as patient as possible to see if things will really work out. I'm confident that no matter what happens between us we will continue to have great times together. I adore him.
Another thing that has me a little thrown off balance is school. I love school, and I am happy to say that I had a very successful Fall Semester and am stoked to be returning to Weber State for the Spring Semester, but I am also super anxious about it. I felt as though I was finally getting the hang of how things work in college and BAM! every thing is gonna change now. That's life though, is it not? The only thing constant in life is change. I know I'm going to have to work super hard this semester to keep on top of everything, and I hope I can do it. I just have to make sure that I keep my priorities straight. Church, School, Family/Friends. Work will fit in there eventually, if I ever get a freaking job!
Which brings me to my next thing; finding a job. I have been working hard to find a job. Really I have, but I have yet to find one. I have applied at multiple places, and then applied at more places, and then applied at more, and have not received one call. I'm not the only one having this problem though. I know of lots of people that need jobs that are having trouble finding one. My friend, who is a waitress, says that she can probably hook me up with a job as a hostess at the restaurant that she works for though so hopefully something will come of that. I am also going to audition for an Entertainment spot at Lagoon this summer. That should be fun if I get in. I feel that it would be good for me to have a job in which I get to do what I love! Who doesn't want to get up every day and go sing and dance? I feel that it would be good for my ADD too! haha.
All in all, I feel that life is good. Obviously there are a few things that I am worried about, but we are always growing and learning in this life; that's what it is for! I am so blessed and have so many amazing friends, family, and opportunities before me. I know that the Lord won't give me anything that I can not handle, and that he will help me though things that I am struggling with. He has never failed me, and I am confident that he never will. The things that have helped me get through my hard times and are still continuing to do so are as follows: reading my scriptures, attending all my church meetings, looking for ways to perform service, and prayer. I love all of these things. These are the tools that the Lord has given us to help us obtain happiness. I am happy, and I thank the Lord for it.
The other day, my boyfriend and I decided that we wanted to go sledding. The sledding itself lasted all of 10 minutes... but we ended up doing something even better. We built a snowman named Russel, complete with a full face, hair, and arms with hands on them. He is quite possibly the best snowman EVER! We thought he was gonna be a lot uglier than he really turned out to be. He was quite lopsided when we started, but we smoothed him out a bit and he ended up being quite handsome. hahaha. Brandon and I took pictures with the snowman and were a little sad when we discovered the kids in the neighborhood had helped the sun destroy him. But Russel is preserved in memory and pictures!
