Sorry for my Debbie Downer post. I'll be ok.

On another note....next Tuesday night I will be driving to California with my Daddy and staying until Sunday. I get to go to Disneyland-my favorite place in the world! I also get to visit my awesome brother, who I miss a whole bunch. It feels like a million years since I have been on a vacation and I am SO looking forward to relaxing and taking a break from life. I think it's long overdue....

Here's to 2011!

I don't know how they do it, but somehow these mormon messages ALWAYS have something in them that I need to hear. I suppose I should really think about this one, too.

The second half of 2010 has been very difficult for me, much of it is due to a result of my own actions. I have been stuck thinking about all of the things that I should have done differently, and wondering "why me?" for far too long.

My Heavenly Father is giving me an opportunity to learn and grow, and become stronger than I have been before. While it is the toughest time of my life I am grateful for this opportunity. I am learning so many lessons about myself, the people around me, and most importantly, the gospel. I have come to understand that my Heavenly Father loves me, and he knows what I need, and when I need it. The hard part is having faith in this everyday, even when it all seems too hard, and continuing on when I think that there's no way I can do it. But on these days, I know that the only way through it is with my Heavenly Father's help. I can choose to not look back and learn from the past, and even when all else seems to fail, I can rely on the savior.

My New Year's Resolution is to choose to and try harder to change. I am going to leave the past behind and move forward the best way I can. I am going to trust in God, and believe that what He has in store for me is bigger and better than what I had planned for myself. My future can be better than my past.

And, like the movie says, everyday is the beginning of a new year and the first day of the rest of your life!

New Year's Eve 5K.

I just found out from my aunt that there is a 5K on New Year's Eve at Sugarhouse Park. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know of someone who would do it with me?

I am such a fast runner though, so they'll have to be really quick to keep up with me. Ha. Funny.

P.S. I hate New Year's Eve.

I'm going on a vacation.

I am going to go on a vacation. I don't know who I'm going to go with or where I will go, but I am totally going. These are some of the places that I'd love to go to:

New York

Hawaii

Egypt

Jerusalem

Australia

Paris

Africa

Does anyone have any suggestions for places I should travel to? Or, does anyone want to come with me? :)

"I Can Tri"

I have always wanted to do a triathlon. I have never even done a 5k though, because I have been too afraid. Well, one day I was feeling brave. I got online and looked this one up because my friend had told me about it. I decided to do it and called Trav, because I knew he wanted to do it too. I told him I had signed up and that he should too. Well, we did it. I know that to a lot of people that's easy and so not a big deal....but to me it is because I DID IT!! And, I had a lot of fun doing it. We both loved it and we're planning on doing another one too!
