Thanksgiving Dinner for 1

Ok, so I know that it's not "socially" acceptable to be ok with being alone...but I am. I mean don't get me wrong I would like to get married and have a family of my own like most of my friends...but...I have recently discovered that I am happy even though I am alone. The holiday season is always a hard one to do alone. But tonight I will be having Thanksgiving dinner alone. I miss my family terribly but I am actually kinda looking forward to having dinner on my own. It's all about making lemonade out of lemons. I have TONS of homework to do so I will be working on that and fixing a turkey dinner for 1.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Lord has a plan for me. I know who I am and for the first time in my life I know exactly where I'm going. Every once in a while I do get a little sad about being alone but then I have a little talk with my mom and she reassures me that I never would have been able to do all I have been able to do if I had a family. And she just tell me to be patient and things will happen in their own time...aka the Lord's time :o)...

I have a WONDERFUL life and I love living it!!! So to all my friends that I know worry about me...I'm a very happy person!! And thank you so much for caring about me. It was my Stake President that told me: "Be patient...Eternal things take time!" So here I sit as patient as possible! I know that things will work out just the way they are suppose to as long as I keep doing everything I am supposed to be doing.

2 month update...

Well I've been at my new apartment for about 2 months now and boy has it been an adventure. I had a hard time at first but I'm getting more and more comfortable. I have been making TONS of new friends. It was all a little overwhelming but it's been good for me. I have learned a lot about my own strength.

School has been a challenge but I guess it wouldn't be worth it if it wasn't. I am working really hard. It has seemed to have taken over my life these days. I work full-time while taking 5 classes. I am doing really well in all my classes except Biology. I just can't seem to get it. I am just trying to pass these days...haha...I figured I will focus on the subject I will be teaching, History, and leave the science to the science teachers! I am getting close and I can see the end in sight. :o)

Here are a couple of pictures of some new friends:

Two of my new friends: Lyndsi and Meghan

I know it's hard to see...but this is me and Lyndsi sneaking into a cop car...heehee...

I know that I haven't been the best at keeping up with this blog but my life has just been so consumed with school these days...so that's all for now... :o)

Labor Day Vaca

So for Labor Day weekend I went home. It was so fun to be with my family for a weekend. I have gotten into the habbit of going hoome for that holiday. I got so much done while I was there. I cleaned out my storage unit. In the process I got to go through all of my old stuff. It was so much fun to go down memory lane. I also through practically everything away...haha...I kept about 2 boxes and that was about it!

I had not been having a good time so I needed to get away for awhile before school the madness of school started. Here are some pictures of my family:

My cute mom and Dad befor going to bed...haha...
