Um...I didn't die, I promise

So, if anyone still reads this then let me apologize again for my lack of writing. It's not because I don't love you. Because I totally do. Mostly it's because I was trying really hard to graduate college while I was still 30. It's ridiculous, I know, but I just wanted to say I had graduated college by the time I was 30. 31 just sounds weirder. It's my OCD with numbers.

Um, so I did it. I graduated. I passed my last semester of classes and will walk in April as UVU only does one commencement a year. Go me! It's a huge accomplishment in my book. Nigh unto finishing my mission, which may sound ridiculous unless you've been there. A few years ago I felt like I hadn't really accomplished anything with my life and now I can say that I served a mission and graduated college. My parents would also like to see me add "got married and had kids" to my list of accomplishments, but these things take time.

I don't know if I ever mentioned this, but after years and years of really awesome self doubt and frustration with Heavenly Father about how my life was playing out, I am actually really cool with being single. Does it still suck living in Utah County where I am pretty much an old maid? Yeah, it kind of does. Mostly because there are no prospects here. There are LOTS of single guys, but none that I can ever see myself dating let alone marrying. They are also, on average, around seven or eight years younger than me. And I'm not really the cougar type. SO, waiting it is. I worked out a deal with my Heavenly Father that I think will work out great for all involved. And, you know what? I'm actually pretty excited about it. I feel like I took a really really long time getting to this place in my life where I finally see things  in a much broader perspective. And I'm willing to wait a little longer for things that will be better in my life. Guys, this is going to be my year. I can feel it. I've got so much coming my way and I can't wait to see all my hard work and plans come full circle.

Any way, if any of you are still reading this, just let me know. If not, I don't know. I'll probably just start adding poems that I wrote and stuff.

BTW, I got a poem published. That was cool.

5 years ago...

Five years ago tomorrow (Sept. 13th) I went into the MTC to start my missionary service. Isn't that CRAZY!?!?!?! Five whole years have passed since I started a journey that would change the rest of my life. Its amazing! And, do you know how I'm going to celebrate this momentous occasion? I am going to watch this movie:

Because A.) Its a wicked awesome movie!
And 2.) because Chris Hemsworth is ATTRACTIVE....isn't he just so beautiful!?!?! Yeah...he is...

It comes out on DVD tomorrow, which I feel is entirely appropriate! What better way to celebrate than that!?!?!?! he he he...so fun! The only thing that would be better is if Captain America was also coming out on DVD...but alas, it won't be out for a while yet.



On an entirely random note: I am totally loving school, though it is completely kicking my trash!!! I have learned, however, that when you choose a major that you actually enjoy...you actually like the classes you are required to take! Crazy how that works, isn't it!?!?!?!
