goood.

Sometimes when I am in a grumpy mood I decide the most appropriate blog post is one that is ridiculously positive. It's true. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I figure its time to write about a bunch of super wonderful things in life right now. Maybe by the end I will forget that I was grumpy today.

My parents are coming to see me in less than two weeks.

I'm gonna pass clinic this semester.

I went to the Hunger Games and loved it!

I get to move into a new apartment in like three weeks. This means I get to live with Sarah Jo now too. (Becky shall be missed:( )

I went deep sea fishing this weekend and caught a big red snapper. And then ate it.

I have a tan.

I bought a 6 dollar neon pink bikini at Walmart and I'm so freaking happy about it.

I get Lasagna for dinner tonight.

I love my instructors.

I love my roomies.

I love watching Lost with all the Canadians.

I made new friends on the weekend.

Katelyn Remington is coming to visit me at the end of April for almost three weeks. AHH.

Justin Bieber released a song that he wrote for me. Such a kind soul.

I'm no longer lost and confused in life. Ha! =)

I have the best friends in the whole world.

Draw something is killing the battery on my ipod but I don't even care because its so fun.

I bought a new shirt.

I have the best older brother who sends the best fb messages to keep me up to date in life. I love him.

Sher and Chad invited me to Florida again. Even though I can't go, the fact that they invited me again makes me really happy. They're the best.

I realized I have enough money to finish school. It's a relief to say the least.

Jennica is graduating from BYU next month. I am just so proud of her. I wish I could go visit her and Brian but since I can't I will just have to see them an extra time in the summer.  =)

I love everything.

Okay this is working. I am officially a happy camper.

so i ramble lots.

I feel like I'm usually pretty okay with putting my thoughts into words. 

But every once in a while, I get stuck.

I have so many things to say and so many thoughts

but I just have no idea where to start with putting them in order. 

I feel like this has happened more lately than ever.

I'm not really a fan of it. 

Anyway.

 I found this little gem. 

Thoughts someone else put together that seemed to fit just perfectly.

After reading this and realizing how terribly true it was, I read it again.

Then I decided it's sad how much time can be spent on one little thing

and it can seem like a difference hasn't been made.

Kinda seems like a waste. I got all depressed thinking about it.

"it will never seem like it was enough"

How sad. I think its frustrating to invest so much time into someone, to try so hard, only to have them throw it back in your face, whether it be a friend, a family member, a coworker, or someone else. 

So I looked a little harder and thought a bit more. 

Ya see. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.

So I got to thinking.

Maybe the whole purpose wasn't to have someone realize how much you cared or how much you tried,

Maybe it was a lesson you were supposed to learn about yourself.

Your determination. Your character. Your weaknesses and your strengths.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.

Somehow, looking at it that way, makes it all seem worth it again.

again and again and again.

Sometimes on days like today

my heart just has to hurt a little bit.

It will hurt for a day... maybe two, maybe more.

But one day it won't.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight, right?

karlee fry. karlee davidson. karlee mulan.

I have this bestie named Karlee-Fry whom I love with my whole heart. 

She has the heart of gold. 

She always turns the other cheek.

She always takes the high road when things get tough.

She never judges me when I tell her all of my secrets.

 She listens to me when I am sad and confused and helps me be brave when I need to be.

I trust her with everything and I love her forever. =) 

We met when we were just littluns in swimming lessons. 

We were always friends, but we became besties on a swing at girls camp when we were fourteen.

We stayed besties all through junior high and high school, and even now almost two years after we graduated, I find myself wanting to hear her giggle and sneeze like a baby and tell her my secrets. 

I love her all the same and even more.

Some say you lose touch with your friends after high school.

Not a chance.

It is her birthday this week so I am dedicating this post to her.

Sooo Karlee Fry. 

Thank you for always being a good example to me.

Thank you for always listening to me.

Thank you for trusting me.

Thank you for teaching me all your beauty secrets.

Thank you for sharing your music with me.

Thank you for crying with me and laughing with me.

Thank you for screwing up with me and learning with me.

Thank you for smiling with me and growing with me.

Thank you for letting me call you my best friend.

I love you forever. =)

Happy two days away from being twenty!

i'm loved.

So this one time...

I got this package from Jenn and Brian.

And I lived happily ever after.
