scattered thoughts on a sunday

I miss being a kid. I feel like i'm still that young, and yet i'm being forced to make grown up decisions. College. Never in a thousand years did i think i would have to worry about college. but here i am...

?

?

maybe even

the options are limitless. What will it be like to be away from home? will i survive?

I'm going to gain 100 pounds by the end of winter. thanks to my dear auntie. Cooking all these yummy foods has gone out of control. i can't stop eating them, yet i love making

them. i'm doomed for track if i keep this up.. it's worth it though right?

Thank goodness only 2 days of school this week!! I'm ready to party it up during thanksgiving break!

Sitting on santa's lap? definitely a high light of my life... let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. I'm ready for some sledding :)

i'm constantly craving a run. all i want to do is put on my shoes and hit the pavement.

in the words of the oh so wise ferris, life moves fast. already senior year is racing by. I'm trying to live it up while i can so i don't look back and realize my life is full of empty yesterdays.

it's been rough. the stronger my testimony gets the harder satan pushes, tries to fight. To bad i'm on the winning side right? come at me bro. i dare you. I can take this. nothing you can do will sink me. i will stay afloat.

ice skating

Mutual was an adventure yesterday. We went on a little fieldtrip and had a blast and a half at the ice skating rink.

The begining, our chipper faces so happy to be there! love these girls

Not all were cut out for the strenuous adventure of ice skating :P

Met the cutest girl, her name was also sidney

What could make the night go better than topping it off with hot chocolate?

Ice skating was so much fun! I am definitely doing it again sometime soon! love it!

thank you

Since it's thanksgiving soon, i'm gonna use this month to post what i'm grateful for. Begining with:

I'm thankful for my body. I love the fact that whenever I feel the urge, i can put on my shoes and go for a run. I love not being injured. I love that when tough times come, I can escape the world for an hour or so and everything becomes so clear. It's just me and the road. I love being able to think that should the need arise i can run away from someone, and be able to run far and fast. It makes me feel much more safe. I love that I can participate in sports whenever i want, play the occasional soccer, volleyball, basketball. I love being able to go to dances and party the night away without getting winded. I love the feeling of being sore after working out because i know that i worked hard and i'm building muscle. I love feeling proud of my body, just the way it is. I'm so blessed that heavenly father gave me this body. It's true when he says that our bodies are a temple. They need to be treated with respect and care. I try to eat healthy and make sure i get enough sleep so my body can work at its best.

That's what i'm thankful for.

.

Perhaps a little pick-me-up is fitting for right now. I know that I definitely need it.

These days

Volleyball game, state playoffs!!

They did SOOO good!!! so proud of them :)

Surprise! We visited east high, sang a bit of high school musical. Sadly Troy Bolten was not to be found anywhere :(

I live for these days. The days where i'm never home. The days where homework takes a back seat in my priority list. The days when eating is a 2nd thought, almost forgotten to the point where i'll just eat a poptart to fill my stomach a bit. why do i love these days? Because they remind me that i'm living. This is not just a time to learn, go to school, do what your told. Life was meant to be lived. Have fun. Party it up. Be a bit reckless. Take a chance. because life is to short to have regrets. And the things you'll regret most is what you DIDN'T do, rather than what you did do.
