The long awaited BLOG!!

So I learned recently that people check my blog! Oh my heavens I had no idea! What a boring little blog this has been lately. I always get so sad when I look at my friends blogs and they haven't updated in a day or two. Here I am 3 months later...Lame-O. I guess there just hasn't been that much to say lately. My life is going along as normal. Changes are coming and that will be an adventure! I get to move two times in three months. This for the girl that stays in one place for years on end because she hates moving. Yikes, I'm struggling. I have so much JUNK! I need someone to come in my room and just throw everything away. Okay, not everything. There are a few things I probably should keep but really, yeah lets throw everything away. Really though I'm ready for a change. I feel like I'm in yet another rut & I am ready for a new start. I've been thinking a lot this past week about life and how quickly things can change. A friend from my EFY years passed away unexpectedly last week & although I hadn't seen him in years I still feel quite a bit of sadness when I think about it. My heart aches for his family & close friends. As I thought about it I began to think of where my life is right now and I decided I want to do better. My home teachers talked to us today about living in the moment and that we need to be prepared for what is going to come in our lives. We really never know. Life has unexpected twists & turns. I want to live life to the fullest. I need to tell the people I love that I love them more often. I need to make choices to better myself a little everyday. I need to find the good in all situations & I need to laugh more. I was with some friends on Saturday night and we laughed until we cried! I hadn't done that in forever and it felt so good. I'm ready to start over.

On a completely different note, Boston is so soon!!! About a month and a half until I get my vacation and I can't wait! I'm turning 25 this week and I think this trip is part of my quarter life crisis & I can't wait!! I'm so excited to see my old roommate and very dear friend Corinnie & to explore Boston with her! I'm excited that Tom is going to come to Boston while I am there so we can spend some time together and I'm excited to go to Baltimore afterwards to see my family & a few friends too. Laur just moved back to Maryland and I can't wait to go on our traditional trip to the DC Temple but to actually go inside this time. I'm hoping upon hope that my friend Rach who is moving to Florida next month will come up to Baltimore for the weekend while I am there also. It will be a full trip but one I'm sure I'll never forget. I really can't wait! Okay enough of that!
