Life.


School is killing me. I wish I could just hide under a rock until next Thursday morning. That would be nice, but of course not practical in the least. I have red spots ALL over me and no they're not chicken pox spots. The doctor doesn't know what they are. They itch in the most inconvenient times, like when I'm trying to study/do homework. I have a wonderful roommate, Kilee that bought me an oatmeal bath kit, so hopefully that helps along with the not so helpful medicine I was given as well. Its just really annoying and embarrassing. I do wear a swim suit for about 4 hours a day and it would be nice not to look like a walking disease. But I don't want this post to be written by Negative Nancy. Here are some things and I soo incredibly grateful for. I have a wonderful family that I get to go home to super soon!! They are so good for me and I love spending time with them. It's going to be a long summer not going home this year. I'm looking forward to the random vacations we have planned this year. I'm so grateful for my boyfriend, Harper. He is soo good to me and treats me like a princess. I couldn't ask for anyone better. :) I'm grateful to be able to live my dream of coming to BYU and being on the swim team. Ever since I was born, I feel like, BYU was in my blood. I don't know what I'd be doing with my life if I wasn't here. It definitely wouldn't be the same at all. Swimming was a random talent I somehow acquired. It definitely didn't come easy and there are those days I wish I didn't have to wake up at 5:30, but its been such a dream come true and I love all my teammates. I need to focus for finals now and escape the wonderful world of blogging. Here's the start of my facebook/blog fast. Merry Christmas!

Recently my best friend, Chelsey and I set yet another lofty goal. I don't know what it is about being with each other, but somehow we always set high standards for each other. She makes me want to be a better person and I don't know what I'd do without her. So the goal: This summer we want to try to go to as many temples in Utah that we can to do baptisms. Utah has quite the plethora of temples these days with new ones, like Payson, sprouting up every year. I don't think there will be another time in our lives that we will be able to have this opportunity and I'm so glad I have such an amazing friend to accomplish it with. Of course, all who are interesting can come with us. The more the merrier. I can't wait for it to be spring/summer so we can get started!!
