As summer is coming to end, there are so many new beginnings. New semester, which means new classes, new people, a new ward, new roommates and most importantly, new ADVENTURES! I have loved this summer and I am looking forward to what is in store for me in the next couple of months! Can you believe that 2015 is only 4 more months away?! Where did the time go?! Anyways, there is a cute tabernacle in town that my awesome roommate did a photo-shoot at. I am amazed at how beautifully the pictures turned out. She is such a good photographer and such a natural at what she does! After looking through the pictures, I was thinking about how fast time has gone and how many times have I really captured the moments? Don't get me wrong, I do my best to live in the moment and I'm extremely happy with my life.. but as fast as the time has gone, there are so many beautiful moments that we often let slip away.
Yesterday, Conrad and I went to the fair. I love to people watch. I guess you could call it a hobby.. just kidding.. but its really fun to see different people interacting. There was one guy at the fair who did spray-painting paintings. I was caught off guard at how fast he can do a picture and how breath-taking they were! Then there was the magic shows, the hypnotist shows and all the different talents people would share. I loved every minute of it. I've loved every minute of this summer.
Summer is such a big deal to me. There is so much potential and so much to do. How is it possible that one girl can do it all? I've floated the river, I've swam in different freezing cold rivers, volleyball is a must along with bonfires and s'mores! Then theres the obvious star gazing (Which is amazing in Rexburg btw), attended atomic days, went to the fair, got chased by some crazy people, enjoyed many flavors of snow cones, gone to water parks, slowly watched my tan lines get whiter and whiter and my skin get darker and darker, went on hikes, picnics on the rooftop, danced in the rain and survived the flood! What else could you possibly want?! But as summer comes to an end, I know theres a beginning for new adventures and learning.
Well...
I think it is safe to say that I have conformed. From 15 and tumbling (tumblr..not actual jumping and twisting in the air) to 18 and pinning... I have decided to start my blog. I've always loved writing and I keep a journal, but I thought I would try this out. I am a little skeptical about what I am putting on the Internet... but I am an open book! So, for those of you reading this that don't know me.. why are you wasting time reading this?! Hah.. kidding. I guess the first thing you should know is that I am VERY sarcastic and I don't take too many things serious. So let that be a warning to you. I have a lot of theories, adventures and thoughts I would love to share with all of you. But let me start by introducing myself and what has shaped the 20-year-old me!
I was born and raised in sunny Southern California. (Let the stereotypes roll) I love my home. There is no place as beautiful as California is to me. I will always rep it, no matter what! I am now starting my senior year at BYU-Idaho and should have my bachelors next July! Health Science isn't as great as I thought it would be, but its a good start to where I want to be.. a Radiologist. Well... the technician at least. I plan on getting as much education I can. Life in Idaho can range from being the most boring thing, where you sit and wonder why you're still alive, to being the most beautiful, fearful and amazing adventure. It depends on the weather a lot ;) I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I have learned so much about myself and the world while being up here. I have made friendships that I will never lose and met some really... interesting people. All of which contributed to my life in some way and form. For this, I will be eternally grateful.
I am a Mormon, if you haven't gathered that from the last paragraph. (Once again, let the stereotypes roll) I have grown up learning and living the gospel of Jesus Christ. There have been times in my life where I didn't know if the Church is true... and those have been my best doubts. I have been proved wrong over and over again. There is nothing in the world more important to me than this gospel. I am sure I will write about it more in the future, but if you have any questions about this religion, please feel free to ask me. I am not the best at sharing my beliefs with people, but I LOVE to talk about it and to educate others on why I believe what I do. Or if you want, you can check out: https://www.lds.org. This gospel will bring you true happiness!
There is a lot about me.. and I will not bore you on the details. But, this was a little background on what I am going through and what this blog will consist of..for now!
