Trouble In Paradise

     Well howdie everyone. If you notice today is Saturday and not Friday. I told you guys on Monday that I would post Mondays and Fridays...I guess I lied D: Oh my dear goodness I am such a REBEL!!! That, my friends, is another lie. I am the farthest thing from being a rebel, I can't even TP a house! But in all honesty I am only going to update on Fridays so I actually have something to say. 
     I've been trying to work out and get back into shape. Where I live there are a bunch of hills, so the first time I ran I was very sore for like three days straight! So either the hills suck, or I am just super out of shape. The answer is probably both, but I am out of shape. I picture myself as I run as this fluffy turtle gorilla mix. Turtle for the speed and a gorilla for the noises that come from trying to run up a steep hill. The main problem of getting in shape is, even though I work out, I like food a little too much. I don't eat A LOT, I just like to eat the junk food. Red vines and Lactose free Ice Cream to be exact and that is not a very good mix if you are trying to get in shape.
     Another thing, I have been in charge of setting up the internet in the new house, and I finally understand why my dad use to get soooooo mad at internet companies. See, I had this realization when I had an Ah-Ha moment when talking to Century Link on the phone and I found I sounded exactly like my dad did when I was like 6. Let's first cover what had happened. I went to set up the internet and they told me that they wouldn't come for Two Whole Weeks...this did not make me happy. Then when they did come, they came way early and claimed that since we were not home they could not finish. Which we were home 15 minutes before they were suppose to show up. And today I talked to this guy on the phone and he thinks no one will come out for another week...I don't think this guy understands how scary a short blonde 18 year old girl, who has already waited 2 weeks for internet, can be.
     This week has been rough, but I am still just happy that I am very blessed. My brother and his beautiful girlfriend are now...wait for it...ENGAGED!!! I am going to have a sister in law! So I am going to focus on that, the positive, and try to let the small things go.


I love you all!!

August 11th 2014

So for all those who are following my blog, my anxiety has gotten better! It is still completely here, and I constantly have to calm myself down when I start to feel an anxiety attack coming, but it's better then it was. To be honest I don't understand why for the first time in my life I'm getting these horrid episodes...all I know is they suck.
     I have decided that Mondays and Fridays I will post entries. And I'm pushing it tonight, since it's almost midnight but until I fall asleep and wake up I will still say this is Monday! (;
     I have gone on some adventures recently, and I have been feeling adventurous lately. It's fun. I love getting out and doing stuff, especially exploring new things!
     Today the lovely Harts came over and had FHE (Family Home Evening) with my mom and I. For those who don't know the Hart family, they are a family filled with wonderful, musical, and generous people who have basically adopted me into their family. They have been there for me, through so much, and have helped me when I was down. I love them so much more than they will ever know! Being a person who doesn't get the chance to have FHE very often it was such a great experience. And I absolutely loved every second. At one point Rachel was trying to talk her mom into letting her spend the night some nights, even if she has homework, and her mom said that I was different. That I'm like her sister, so spending time with me is like spending time with family which is always okay... I will tell you I almost cried. I felt so loved and... Oh... They are just amazing people!
    
   ** A note for readers, I am very LDS (Mormon). And I understand you may not be and that is fine! But I will talk spiritually, or about religious things that happened to me, in this blog. I mean, I'm going to BYUI, it might turn into a regular basis kind of thing. If this offends you or bothers you, you don't have to read you can call or Skype me at any time (: **

     Through all this craziness and anxiety I have been stress eating... I've gotten some comments... So tomorrow I'm going to start getting back in shape!! Wish me luck I'll keep you posted!

Anyway, I'm pooped. So good night everyone, I love you!

Well Hello There!

Hey everyone!

    Since I have now started the next chapter in my life. I am rarely around, and in January I will be off to BYU-I ,from January-July, and it's hard keeping in touch with people. So I decided I am going to make this here blog, with pictures and stories of what's happening with me in my life, and if you ever are inclined to wonder how I am doing you can pop on and see!
     If you haven't heard, I am now in the full time job club! I work for Developmental Concepts Inc of Boise. So I work with adults with developmental disabilities. It can be challenging sometimes, but it is an amazing job that is definitely worth while. I, alothough love my job, hate 5 o'clock traffic that comes with it. It has been an everyday a part of my life now, and I am not a fan.
     I just moved into a new house with my mom and its really big. Big enough that it really freaks me out at night. It is not like I think some kind of demon or spirit will attack me. It's the fact that there are so many doors and rooms that I don't know if anyone is lurking in there. The first night I did not sleep at all and then had to go to work. I stayed awake for about 40 hours straight. NOT OKAY! and then the next night I had a full, emotional and mental break down! I cried and was shaking and kept trying to leave. My mom finally calmed me down and had to sleep with me and I eventually fell asleep for a couple hours. I am thinking of taking melatonin to knock me out!
     Lesson I learned is that I will never buy a huge house if I ever become rich in the future. I will get a nice two doors cozy home. But again that is faaaaaaaaar in the future.

Love you all!
