Back in the Swing of Things

So my new roommates are supposed to move in today. It will be a lot of fun! I'm excited for the change.
This week I'm working full-time, until school starts on the 29th. I've been ready for some change, something new and exciting to keep me on my toes. I'm hoping that semester does that for me.
I am now off all medication! I made sure that I could slowly get myself off all the medications I was on, and am so happy that I am no longer dependent upon them. I just want to let my body heal itself and it has! I am feeling quite a bit better, and am so happy because of it.
Everything in life has been going really great. I have been so blessed and I notice it more and more everyday.
Lately I've been power walking to the temple and back. It has been good for me to me to see the temple all the time. I especially love it in the evening, because it's all lit up and glowing! This summer I celebrated my one year anniversary of being baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! It's been the best year ever so far. Definitely a lot of hard times and tears, but I am thankful for the knowledge I have gained and the love I have shared.
Now it's time to get back to work...

Fall is Almost Here

I cannot believe that it is already going to be fall semester. It feels like just yesterday I started summer up here in Provo. I have made such close friendships this summer, and respectfully declined participating in the "Summer of Treason". Taylor Dong, you have been an amazing friend and I cannot tell you enough how much you mean to me! You are the greatest best friend I could have ever asked for! Keaton Jolley, you have been a great boyfriend and a fantastic support system this summer and I'm so grateful for the wonderful times we have!
I wish summer didn't have to end! But regretfully, reality must come back and I must go back to school! I am really going to enjoy this semester though. My major is International Relations and I have a pretty hefty load this semester.With all the weddings this past week, I'm pretty exhausted, but so happy for all the wonderful couples that have been married in the temple this summer! To name a few:

Cameron & Aurielle Kimball
Thatcher & Auslinn Schuler
Christian & Bre Jones
Zac & Danielle Rigby
Anthony & Jamie Woolstencroft
Miguel & Jordan Enciso
and last but DEFINITELY not least
Daniel & Regan Gilster

I love you all and am so happy for the wonderful decisions you have all made.
As this new semester starts, I look forward to new adventures, new friendships, and most of all, a new me!
