I should....

...start counting my blessing and be thankful for what I do have and especially be thankful for the things I don't have that I don't want. I think that would help my attitude in all circumstances~

Roomies!

Hello All!




So I recieved a wonderful idea from a wonderful dear friend, THanks friend, aka Deanna. And that idea was that I write a little bit about all my wonderful roommates to remember just how wonderful they all are!

I really am fortunate to have such wonderful girls to room with! I was worried before that I might end up with a... 'weirdy'! :O oh no! but oh yes, I got lucky and ended up with them!!! So anyways, I am going to tell you a little bit about each of them and let you all know just how great they all are!

Kathryn Hansen

Kathryn is from New Hampshire, not exactly sure on the town. But anywho... She is so fun! She played lacrosse in high school and is very knowledgable about politics. Her major is something to do with Middle Eastern Studies and Politics. She really knows her stuff when it comes to stuff like that! Kathryn is just so loving and knows how to make a persons day brighter!

Kristy Hadley

Kristy is my room roommate! She is from San Diego California. She loves ballet and John Mayer along with many other things. She is unsure of her major, but I think she might have mentioned Elementary Education to me... not sure if she has it declared as a major or not. She is a wonderful roommate for me and we have gotten along great so far. She has a really cute personality that makes it fun to be around her. She is just GrEaT!

Samantha Thayne

Sam is from Pocatello Idaho! I actually knew Sam before coming down to BYU. She is a cousin to one of my good friends from High School. She is amazing! She is a walk on for the BYU Track team and has done amazing from the start! Sam isn't around too much because of practice, school, and BF, but when she is, she is loads of fun! She is a studier! She studies a lot and has the grades to prove it. But those aren't the only good qualities about Sam, she is a wonderful friend that is not judgemental and she always has good advice!

Kelsey Elsholz

Kelsey is from Grantsville Utah! She is wonderful! She loves to read, play tennis, the piano, and sing! And she has a beautiful voice ;) ! I love going on Sunday nights and playing the piano and singing with her, it's always a highlight of my week! Kelsey has a wonderful personality! She is always concerned about others and always keeps a positive look on life, even when things are going against her. She studies hard and is oh so smart!

Chalay Casper

Chalay is from West Jordan Utah. She loves Seinfeld! She is very careing and always tried to know when something is wrong with others. She is pretty considerate and is always doing very spontanious activities with our roommates or guys in our ward. She is always a whole bunch of fun!

Well that pretty much wraps up my roommates in a very very very small nut shell! and here would be all six of us at the beginning of Fall Semester!

As you can tell, we all have a lot of fun together!

Luv you all! <3 <3 <3

<3 } Interview { <3

So Deanna posted an "interview" on her blog and now she is "interviewing" me! Luv her forever!

So here are her questions and my answers!!!

1. What is your most fond memory of growing up (at any age)?
My fondest memory of growing up is playing around the barn yard! Me and my siblings were so spoiled!! We never had any furbies or giga-pets... but we got by without them! We had two ponds: equiped with rope swing, raft, tubes, and zip-line! We had the cattle trailer to play in and climb all around in it! We had the MULE! oh man that mule was awesome! (If you know what I'm talking about then you know it was awesome too!) We had a play house and swing set built by Dad! We had barns to explore! We had huge trees with somewhat of a tree house... (mind that Keith and Wes never let me play in it though) ! We had a sweet drinking fountain outside of the barn. That was SaWeet... I loved turning it all the way up! haha! Yeah! We just had it pretty good! There was always something to do! Those were great days!

2. Whose shoes would you rather wear - your's or someone else's?
I would so rather wear my own! Other people have stinky feet ;) and I also have some pretty comfy and darn cute shoes! I love my own shoes! Now Deanna... if you ever need to borrow a pair, let me know... and Katelyn always borrows mine too ;) ! It's fun having sisters! lol!

3. When are you the most happy?
I am the most happy when I am with my family! It's at those times that I don't have to choose and make decisions about what's right and wrong. And it is also just so much fun to be with my family! They are the best family anyone could ever ask for! Somehow I got really lucky to end up with them. I am also pretty happy when I know that I get to go help out on the ranch. It's hard work, but there isn't anything like it. It's so beautiful and peaceful out there. And I am also usually with my family when that happens. It's great!

4. Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?
I honestly don't know. I hope to be done with most of my school. At least my major. Then I will probably go on to Radiology school with an emphasis of Cardiology. Other than that I don't know. I guess I could be the M word ;) married... but right now that seems odd since I haven't gone on a date for over a year... but who knows? I guess in 5 years I'll know where I am wont I. lol!

5. How do you keep your cool in difficult situations?
Well, sometimes I don't keep my cool. Sometimes my big mouth gets in the way and then it gets me into trouble. Over the past few months I have just tried to have more patience. I try to think before I speak. Then by the time I come up with some smart remark to retort back, it's too late and I thank my slow thinking later for keeping me out of trouble. Other times I just get up and leave. I don't know. I guess I just try my best to keep the peace and try not to side with anyone unless that is really what I think.

Your Instructions:
Now, I would love to interview you and you and you. So here is what you do. Come on now, don't be shy. I will be nice I promise. It is a great way to get to know you. Besides it's great way to have something to blog about when you're in a rut.
Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

So come on, let the good times roll!!
