Changes

I've definitely made some huge changes in my life. Which in my opinion (which is the only one that matters) was all for the best! I've gotten closer to my family, I've gotten closer to some old friends and lastly and most importantly God. I have never been the type to revolve my life around my religion, let alone even believe half of what any of it was it about. But after Hunter left I found myself drawing closer and closer to my religion. People say I only changed because of him but I consciously made this decision way before I met him. He just helped boost it in to action! Any one that knows me knows that I was out of control.. I definitely have came a long way than when I first started. Don't get me wrong it would be the easiest thing in the world to just call it quits and move on with my life doing the "easy thing" which would involve me just doing whatever I want whenever I want, getting messed up out of my mind. But I find myself doing things that are going to benefit me in the long run and I couldn't be any more content than that. My prayers are answered in the craziest ways which excites me even more. I notice myself getting smarter (which is even more weird). I look around myself and realize that the people I used to associate myself with are not even happy.. How could putting others down make YOU happy? All in all I can say that my life has changed for the better, and I'm never going back.

I just.. Miss my boyfriend.

I really can't believe that Hunter has been gone for almost 2 months. This honestly has been one of the hardest things that I've ever had to do! It's hard not knowing the future, but that's just something that I personally need to work.. Having absolute faith and trusting that things are going to work out. You could say that I've done a lot of Spring cleaning with my life (more like Summer, but who cares)! I've lost some of my friends due to this huge change, but I can honestly say that this was Gods plan for me. And I'm completely okay with it. This has made me focus more on the important things in life, like family, school, church and work. But more importantly my future! This is really the happiest I've been in my entire life and I can only thank those who have pushed me to work that much harder. I'm back in school, more focused than ever! My boyfriend is serving a mission and I could not be any more proud of him. It's crazy how he can still make me like the only girl in the world for him yet he is a million and twenty seven miles away! Not really but it's an estimate haha. I just miss him so so so much and I just wish he were home to experience all these life changes with me!

Good Things Fall Apart, So Better Things Can Come Together.

I sit here and think about all the great things I have going for myself right now in my life... I have an amazing family, some great close friends, I attend school and I have a pretty good job. Recently some friendships/relationships have ended, I'm not too happy about it but honestly what can you do? I know I'm a hard person to deal with, I have a lot of flaws that I personally need to work out myself. But all in all I'd say I'm a pretty great person and I have a big heart. So through losing a few things in my life I've gained some good things! Hunter.. Honestly I have no idea how this even happened.. It was out of nowhere.. I met him a year ago at a party, and never spoke to him ever again! A little less than two months ago I re-met him at a going away party for a friend. The funny thing about this situation is that his friend was a little more into me than he was, but something about him just pulled me in. He texted me on the number I had given his friend a few nights before, due to the fact that I was not fast enough to give it to him myself ;) We then began talking every day, he took me on a date, then that one date turned into two, then three and so on! I've seen him pretty much every day since probably our second date. I honestly can not get enough. He makes me happy, he doesn't judge me, he cares for me and has yet to disappoint me. But wait it's not over yet. I mentioned him in my last blog, he is my missionary. He leaves July 13th. I swear just yesterday he was leaving in like seven weeks.. He leaves in three, and this makes me so sad. In this short time of knowing him I'm feeling things I don't think I have ever felt before. He means SO much to me and I know that he will be a great missionary. A part of me wishes I would have met him after his mission but then another part of me is so thankful that I met him when I did. He's showed me a few things about myself I didn't even know existed. I couldn't thank him enough. I love you, Hunter. You're amazing! :)

Losing friends due to making new ones is never a fun thing..

Recently I have made a new friend that I have grown to love as a person. He knows me so well already and it's only been about a month. The sad thing about this new friendship is that he is leaving to go on a mission to Australia. It gets brought up daily about how he is leaving and how bad it sucks and all that. He really is someone I care about a lot but everything happens for a reason, and I do believe that he was brought into my life at this time for something. He makes me want to be a better person and reminds me about the important things in life every day. So through all this exciting business, some not so exciting stuff has happened.. I've lost which I considered one of my best friends. No clue why. But apparently I'm a shady individual and that he never even liked me. Which is FINE. It just kinda sucks that he had to go tell other people what he REALLY thought about me instead of telling me. I do believe that this happened because of my new found relationship with my missionary. It sucks but like I said.. Everything happens for a reason! Couldn't be any more happier than I am right now. Life is great, my family is great and so are my friends.

Everything Changes..

I don't quite know how to feel exactly. Happy because I know they are in love and they are happy with each other, or sad because I know that I can no longer go downstairs and talk to her whenever I need her or just feel like talking. This really IS a bitter sweet feeling. She's my best friend even when times are tough. I do things that make her mad or that disappoint her, but yet she still loves me and always will. A sister bond is different than any other bond you can form in this entire world. She's strong and she's beautiful and I have no idea what I would do without her.. People keep telling me it's all a part of life, blahblahblah! BUT I know this is different than most peoples experiences with their siblings moving out and starting a life of their own.. I think that is the reason why I have been distancing myself, I'm scared.. I'm scared that I won't be able to see her when I wanna see her, or talk to her when I wanna talk to her. Everything changes when she gets married tomorrow and it really is freaking me out. I was asked to give a toast and I have no clue what to say because I know I will probably just end up crying the whole time haha. Don't get me wrong I'm more than happy for Brandon and my sister. I just know this is going to take some getting used to. Hopefully everything will turn out and will run smoothly. I love you both and I can not wait for you to be happily married!
WOOOOO :)

MY Mom :)

We all love our moms, that is a given. They raised us, cooked for us, provided for us, loved us and put us above everything else. Today is the day you give thanks to your mom and remind her how thankful you are for her. Whether your mom is your dad, grandparent, foster parent or step mom, they are still your mom. I especially want to give thanks to my beautiful mother. I've put her through more than any mom deserves, but yet she STILL loves me and always will. I could never be any more grateful than I am today for having her as MY mom. She's my rock and my everything. Without her I wouldn't be the person I am today. She understands me better than anyone else and knows exactly what I need to do, even when I don't want to hear it. She is the most beautiful mother in the world and I am so glad that I look exactly like her ;)

Mom you are wonderful and you are strong. NEVER EVER forget it! I LOVE YOU! <3 Happy Mothers Day.

I AM SO THANKFUL

Lately I have become so grateful for everything I have in my life. Like I really am just bursting with happiness all of the time! I feel as though I need to remind a few people why I am so thankful for them..

I am so thankful that I got the chance to know you so well.. Even after things ended the way they did, just know that I will always care for you and you will ALWAYS have a place in my heart. You never judged me and you were there for me when I was at my lowest. Who knows.. Maybe things will end up the way they were supposed to... cough NFL WIFE cough ;)
