Life is good

A truely amazing woman who has helped me through so much in my life once told me that when you wake up in the morning, look in the mirror at yourself, to just say, "Life is good!" and then go about your day. Well, this morning I forgot this usual thing, went off to class, and my morning started out horrific. But after my anatomy class, I took a moment in the bathroom to calm myself down, and just say, "Life is good". The rest of my day was AMAZING! Not only did I get my cheer uniform, but my coach has put me in the middle front and center for our routine! I'm so super grateful and excited. Then we scored a perfect 100% on our cleaning inspection, then Daniel came over and we talked for about an hr or so. So, when life has you down, all you can do is look at yourself in the mirror and say, "Life is good". Thank you Sister Glem!

And so...

Ok- so today we ran all over town to find the urgent care; so we finally know where it is... We found out after an xray that I didn't break my foot, or fracture it, just tore the ligaments in the top of my foot. Ya, OUCH. So then we ran to like 3 stores trying to get crutches... No one was either open, wouldn't take my insurance, or they were like $40+. No way am I spending that much on crutches. So we took a field trip to Rigby. Even though its only 10 miles away, it felt soooo good to get outta this town! I finally found some for $16... so I bought them. I have the bestest friends in the whole world! They helped me so much through this whole weekend with EVERYTHING! I love them! (Yes, that means you Cassie, Morgan, Stephanie, Alicyn, Marrisa) You guys are the best things EVER!

What a Nasty Day!

Oh goodness- today was just downright aweful! Ok, heres partially the reason why... I went to the testing center to take my math test. I think I did fine, but then as I got up, my foot was aparently asleep, which it didnt feel like it. I stepped on it wrong. You know when it seems like its not really there? Ya it was like that... and then I stepped on the whole side of my left foot, and it cracked. I winced under the pain, and took another step to continue to leave, and did it again. I hobbled back in pain, trying to hold back tears to my apartment. My girlfriends were very helpful and caring. My Iteam leader Daniel and like 5 of his guy friends came to give me a blessing, then my girlfriends carried me halfway down the stairs when another guy came and carried me to the car. It was very nice and great. I love BYUI... its a safe place here, where people know me and don't care about my past. Well then I went to the clinic and they turned me away because it was 15 minutes to closing. So I have to go back tomorrow too. So not cool. Oh, then Jake came over and hung out for an hour and made things a little better. So yes, thank you Jake, you are my hero savior! You're the bestest friend EVER! I have 55 days til I can come home and see those who matter most to me. And So now I have to sleep on the couch, because I can't get up onto my bed... this sucks! Come back Jake! Come back!

And the Results Say....

And the results say that she makes it! Life cannot get any better! It has been way too long since I've had pompoms in my hands. Too long since I've cheered and watched football under the lights in the freezing cold! Too long that I have not had a uniform on! But now, I can have it all back! I am officially a BYU-IDAHO CHEERLEADER! I'm so excited! This is going to be the best part of my college semester, so far! I have the best everything and everyone! I love life! Can things get any better?

Tryouts day 1

Ok- so today was SOOO hectic! I almost started crying because I am so emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted! Its not even funny... I had to get up at 7:00, which then turned into 7:15, which then turned into 7:35 for class at 8am... I made it with 5 minutes to spare (be proud, I was considering skipping today!) I went to my classes from 8-1pm, came home, PUT ON A DRESS!!!! (its not sunday, so that should be against the rules!) for devotional, grabbed my cheer stuff and went to devotional at 2pm. While sitting there, I remembered that I forgot my cheer shoes and socks back home. Devotional ended at 2:45, so I ran home, changed into my clothes, ran to the gym, while stretching ripped my favorite sweatpants (dont laugh, I'm really upset! I kicked too high and they went "RIP!"), ran and changed into my basketball shorts, and started tryouts. Tryouts were easier than I thought they would be. I was afraid that they would call things differently than we did on Union's cheer squad. Everything is the same except they load in differently for preps and extensions. The flier just jumps into your hands and you are supposed to just push her up. Really odd, but the coach seemed to understand and said it was no biggy. The cheer is equally easy, and then came the dance. As they are teaching this dance to me, I'm thinking, "Hey, I know this... how do I know this?" I remembered that it was a spirit dance that the Union High school learned at cheer camp my Jr year. I was sooo stoked! It was the best part of my day. I then proceeded to come home, clean the house, do my homework, bake cookies, watch Glee (Very sad btw how everyone on that show is treating eachother), and then watch Raising Hope (new show) with my favorite texan marissa! I proceeded then to take a shower and I am currently getting ready for bed and it's 11:30ish. Can you say EXHAUSTING?!

Sand dunes

Tonight for family home evening we all went to the sand dunes... so much sand! It's like the beach, just with no water anywhere! Just GIANT hills of sand EVERYWHERE!! People in my dorm hall were jumping off the hills into more sand, while I sat and took pictures. And then I get home to find my whole left back pocket had a giant thing of sand in it... how the heck does that happen? Goodness gracious! Oh! And I fond out that my last day of school before thanksgiving break is the 18th of November- so I could be coming home the 18th or the 19th! Yay! Im excited to see you all! I miss you guys! And I am having a blast here with my roomies, my texans, and my daughter (who broke her phone today *tisk tisk*).

Well- it's official

Well- like the title says, it's official... I was sustained and whatever the word is, blessed or whatever, to be the 1st Relief Society President int he 39th ward. It's really cool, my first councilor is Danielle from Washington, and Stephanie from Utah is my second. We are going to have a blast together; I can tell already! Tonight we are once again having our traditional sunday dinner, and then we are going to a stake fireside. And I plan *fingures crossed* to get to bed before 10pm, maybe... since class tomorrow is at 745am
