The simple things make all the difference.

My first day of work was AWESOME! I am so happy that I got the job there. I am learning very quickly. It was just training today, but it was awesome to meet all the amazing people that work there. I am so looking forward to getting to know everyone! I learned a lot about the company and everything to do with the sales. I had so much fun.

Well, we had a big rainstorm in Idaho Falls tonight. And the sky afterwards is what got me thinking.. Why do we take our world for granted. God made such a beautiful place for us to live in, and society has completely ruined it. Crazy how the sky tonight could make me think all this. Haha.

Or something like that.

Yesterday was jam packed with funfilled adventures!! Starting off, I went with my friend and we did crafts. She made a picture frame for this girl she's being a bridesmaid for and I made a necklace. Super cute one too!! I love making crafts that I can show off. Like the crafts we made the other night at Girl's night. P.s. This next week, we are making tie-dye. Heck yes. My fav!!

Returning to yesterday...

Then I went to look at an apartment with my friend Kenzi. We are thinking about getting an apartment. Trying the whole "living on our own" thing. I'll keep ya posted on how that fans out.

After this, I went to the bank and discovered.. I have about $40 to last me til my first pay check which won't be for a couple weeks. Ahhhh! Scary stuff right there.

Next, I went to my BFF's house, Brittany. We just hungout while she made dinner for her and her boyy, and her sister-in-laws. I am so excited for her little baby to be born!

After that, I went to institute and Brother Garfield (i believe that's his name, not positive, so don't quote me on that one) gave us the BEST talk ever, granted he was talking about marriage and babies. Which I hope will not be in store for me for a couple years. Who knows though. Then, we had ice cream in the church cultural hall. Which was delish. It was Farr's ice cream. MMMMM.

And then, a group of us, went up to the black hills, or something like that, and lit off fireworks. We had a fire, and just sat around talking for awhile. Then we played Mafia.. (or something like that) That was an interesting game. It got kind of dramatic after awhile. Blake was definitely the most clever out of all of us. No one could figure out who the mafia was. He played it off so good. It was hilarious. Then we went back to Josh's house. And just hungout. It was a grand ol' time. It was great to meet new people and make new friends. Tonight we are going to the drive-in. That should be way fun as well. (:

I start my job at Jcpenney today! I'm SUPER excited/nervous for it! I hope I can show how hard a worker I am. I can't wait to meet all the employees and learn more about the store. It's going to be just fabulous!

I need some help here.

Okay, So, I really really really want my own place. Well me and my friend Kenzi want to get a place together. We would have so much fun living on our own and it would be such a great learning experience, buttt, here is the problem. I might go to school in January at BYU-I. Which I would have to live in approved housing. If me and Kenzi got an apartment it would be a minimum 6 month lease. Which would carry over to when I am supposed to go to school... Soooooo.. I was thinking, maybe I should just go to EITC. Then, transfer to ISU later. I really want my own place, and at BYU-I, I would have to share it with other girls that I don't even know. Plus it wouldn't be my furniture, it would be the school's. I don't want that. I want to decorate it all my own! Give me your opinions guys?? EITC/ISU or BYU-I?? Help me out!

Best friends forever.

I'm just thinking how fast life goes by! It feels like just yesterday, me and Brittany were chasing boys at Sandcreek Middle School. Now, she's having her own little trouble maker. Hailee is going to be just like Brit and I were. It's going to be crazy to see her grow up! Tomorrow is her baby shower. I cannot wait for it. To see all her family, and to be able to share this experience with my best friend! I don't think I will ever find someone like Brit, Who will put up with ALL my crap! She has been there for everything. No one else can say that much. I hope our kids will be best friends, granted, her kids will be a bit older than mine. Haha! Oh well, they will grow up together. My future husband will definitely be LDS and take me to the temple, but he will also have to deal with my non LDS friends, like Brit. Cuz she will be there all of my life! As I will for her. I can't wait for her to be my maid of honor. And I will be her's. She is my hero, in more ways than one. I am so happy she has found her soul mate this young. They are so perfect for each other!

Well, that was quick!

Monday afternoon I got online and filled out an application for jcpenney! I went about the rest of my day, then at about 6 that evening, I get a phone call from them asking to set up an interview. So of course, I jumped on that. I had my interview on Wednesday at 2:30. And the interview went so well, that the guy interviewing me was like, let's give you a second interview right now (because apparently it is store policy to give 2 interviews). Well the manager that was giving the 2nd interviews was too busy with training, that she was like, let's reschedule. So they said they'd call me, which they did, later that day. My second interview was today at 10:00. That went A-mazing! So the lady was like we will call you, well at about 12:00, They called me and were like we would like to offer you a job working in..... (building anticipation).....

THE KIDS SECTION!

Hello, that is definitely MY section! How perfect right?? They are going to start me off at $7.75 an hour, 40 or so hours a week. Then after 30 days, if I am doing great (which I will be) I will get a raise! What a fabulous day.

Then this day just get's better. I went to mongolian grill for lunch! OMGosh. Delish, is all I have to say! Thennnnnnnn, this MAN, not a dumb boy, a MAN!!! Asks me out on a date. A REAL LIVE MAN! Did you get that part? Hopefully!! So of course I accept that offer as well! Today is just terrific.

I just have institute to go to now! yay! (:

Girls Craft Night.

Last night, some friends and I decided to have a girl's craft night. We made these cute little flower things. We made them out of fabric. It was such a success. We munched on some treats and just gossiped. It was such a great experience to get to know these girls. We have decided to make craft night a weekly ritual. I am super excited because next week we are tie-dying. I am super excited to be making such fun memories before college. A couple of the girls are going to Utah State, one is going to EITC, and then a few others are going to BYU-I, including me, HOPEFULLY!! (: I finally finished my application yesterday! So now.. I just wait! Which I am soooo horrible at! These girls are so awesome though! They are all so strong in the gospel, which is so awesome for me, because not many of my other friends are even LDS. Anyways, one of these nights, we were thinking about having a Tea Party, and dressing up like the olden days. But of course not real tea. I am sooo excited! This is all so fun for me, seeing as with my old friends, we never did anything creative like this. I am also. Sooo excited for college. I went looking at apartments up in the Burg yesterday also. I love it. It's so awesome up there! OH MY HECK! There is a C-a-razyy thunderstorm going on outside, right as I am typing this. Scary!. It'll be great to get to know these girls as we go through college.

What a long and emotional night.

Me and Barbara sat outside for about an hour. Both just sobbing. Her crying over Ben, me crying about everything. This boy that is on my mind, Wesley, My past. I miss Wesley and it is REALLY hitting me tonight. I don't know why it didn't hit me til now. I am really upset about it. I am just now BALLING my eyes out. I can't believe he is really gone! It just blows my mind. Then there is this stupid boy, that I can not get over, for the life of me. I hate BOYS, like I keep saying, I need a man. Hahah. Lastly, my past, I was just thinking about all the crap my mom has put me through. I haven't realized how crazy my life was when I lived with her. I was a mess, My life was a mess. I am so thankful for the Carlson's. I wish my mom would have a change of heart. She hates me going to church, but I'm not about to change my amazing decision, to follow her crappy ones. No Thank You! Haha.

I need a man, not a boy.

I've been "dating" this going to be senior. Well, he likes playing little high school love games. And I amm pretty tired of it. I decided tonight that I probably shouldn't even deal with it anymore. I mean I am leaving to college in January. And I don't want to be caught up in anything anyways. Because I'm going to meet great MEN while I am there. I plan on dating around til at least my second year.. I want to wait for anything serious. I want to see what all is out there. But this BOY gives me butterflys, which probably sounds cheesyy. But I'm pretty old school when it comes to dating. I like the guy to open doors, pay for stuff, be all gentleman like.

I am definitely ready for college life. I am ready to get away from all the old high school drama. And find new friends. Which I have already found a few friends that are going to go to BYU-I. Which is like perfect. I am just readyy for a change! (:

Life is too short

It is crazy how quick life can end. It seems so slow, but you never know when your time to go will be. I've had death on the brain a lot lately. Not for me. But friends or people I have known that have died. It seems like just yesterday that me, Brittany, Wesley, Colton, Nick, Kody and Travis were riding the bikes out in the field by mine and the pulliams house. I miss Wesley more and more everyday that he is gone. You never know how much you love someone until they are gone. Cliche, yes. But it is sooo true. I wish I would have spent way more time with him. Every memory I have of him is so amazing, and so very dear to my heart. I love Wes. He was one of my best friends. He knew how to make ANYONE smile. Especially if they were in the worst moods ever. I miss him. "You are so loved Wes." I searched for Ben Carlson on myspace today. Man, I shouldn't have done that. I live with Ben's parents. Ben killed himself on April 23,2007. I never met him, but I really wish I would have. His family is such a big part of my life. From what I hear, he is one great guy. I wish I would've been able to met him. I know he would've changed my life, even more than he already has. I was reading through all his old comments tonight. And realized, he was so loved. He had so many people who loved him, that he didn't even realized cared at all. I wish he could've seen how many people really loved him.. I love him, and I haven't even met him.

So basically just thinking about how, we need to live our lives to the fullest, because it's a short time before we will go back to live with our heavenly father. And you never know when your journey on earth will be over.

Birthdays.

On July 13th it was my 18th birthday. I was so excited to turn 18, but now I don't know why. The only difference is that I can buy things which I never intended to buy in the first place. So.. not much difference. My new friends that I have made threw me a little surprise birthday party at Cold stone. That was super sweet. (: Then, yesterday it was Wesley Wagner's birthday. He died in December. And it still hurts to even mention his name. He's an old friend. And I wish I could've said goodbye. Well anyways, me and my friend Ericka, Went to his grave for the first time for both of us. It was great to spend the day remembering Wes. He is dearly missed. He would've been 18 yesterday. At around 9:30 last night, me and Ericka took Colton and Alan a cake to celebrate his birthday with them. It was great to catch up with them. And great to remember Wes.
