When things happen in your life that challenge what you know and open your eyes to new possibilities, embrace it!

Well the summer is coming to an end.. and with that my favorite season of the year Autumn begins! Before I know it December will be here and my 21st year will be over. As I look back over all the things that have happened since January I am so amazed at the changes in my life. I am not the same person I was last year and it's only for the better. 

I've heard people talk about college being a time for not only for learning about your future career, but also learning about who you are and who you want to be for the rest of your life..

And I thought I already had that allllll figured out.

But I guess I was wrong.

I feel like the life I was living before now was so empty...because it really wasn't what I wanted. And now I have another chance to change everything and have all of things I want and used to want. 

AND IM SOOO EXCITED ABOUT IT!

I want to do everything, try everything, and live life to the very fullest! There are so many things I know nothing about and I want to learn all that I can. 

A lot of times in my life, I've seen change as a bad thing, or something to be scared of... but now I think that change can be one of the best things to ever happen.... when you begin to question all of the things you thought you wanted... you become a stronger person, because you make decisions for life based on what you really want. No matter what the outcome is.. a little bit of challenge never hurts. In fact I thought i'd post a little corny quote about challenge that I really like :))

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” 

-Paulo Coelho

Finished my junior year of college? Check!

Woah... This year went by so so fast! It has been such a good one too :)

I absolutely love going to the U, it was exactly what I was looking for and way more fun for me than SUU.

I'm officially a senior! Even though I will still have another year after that....


I feel like I'm a different person and my life has changed so much! My mom recently got engaged to an awesome man, Aaron and I couldn't be happier for her. It is great to know that she will have someone to share her time with... but with her moving into his house in Bountiful.. I will finally be moving out again!!!! I love living at home and spending more time with her, but I just feel like 21 is wayyy too old to be living at home. So.. I put a deposit on an apartment a few days ago! It is perfect and as soon as Lauren Fessia gets here.. we will make it our casa! I cant wait for her to come to SLC she will absolutely love it.

I also joined Alpha Phi at the U and I'm soo glad I did! It has been quite the experience... to say the least. I have met some of the most amazing women ever! I really feel like it was exactly what I needed at this point in my life.

There have definitely been some ups and downs with drama but I feel like I'm finally able to rise above all of that and become exactly who I want to be :) I am SOO grateful for the people who have been there for me throughout this semester and have helped to make me a better person.I was definitely not at my best in January coming out of a long term relationship and trying to figure out what I want... but now I think I have a much better idea of what I want and who I want to be... and im working hard to get there..


In just two short years I can finally graduate!!! And be a teacher for lifeee!!
But for now.. I think i'll just have fun :))
