Thankful!

I am so grateful for all the people the Lord has placed in my life. I am thankful for all the worthy priesthood holders he has placed in my life. That I can call on them in my time of need and ask for a blessing. I am so thankful that I can call on the Lord for help. That he can help me when I am struggling. He can help carry my burdens and ease my troubles. He can and does send the Holy Ghost to help comfort me. No matter where I am in my life, I know I can always call on the Lord for help. I am so thankful for this gospel and all that it can do for me. I am thankful for the Atonement and that I can return to my Heavenly Father. That my sins can be forgiven, and that I can be made whole and perfect. I cannot be perfect on my own, but with and through the Savior Jesus Christ, I can be made perfect in the end. As long as I do my best and keep the commandments of the Lord, the Savior will do the rest. He has put people in my life to help me make it through this life and all of its trials. I am so grateful for all he has blessed me with. He has given me so much, and I take so much of it for grantide. I hope that I can take what I have learned from the wonderful people in my life and been given, and become a better person and more like the Savior. I am so thankful for this gospel, and for all the amazing people the Lord has placed in my life. I am truly blessed with an amazing support system, and I owe it all to the Lord.

A new start!

I said I would not post on here again until I received some good news, and now I have! I have a new job, and no longer have to work at that miserable place called IFA. I will be working at a place called Davinci Virtual and I will be a virtual receptionist for about 5 different companies. No, I do not get to work from home I will be working from an office in Sugar House. I am really excited and scared all at the same time. I have been praying every day for a while now that I would be able to get out of IFA, and the Lord has finally answered my prayers. I am so thanful that he has answered my prayers and has found such an amazing company for me that truly cares about their employees! I have a friend from dance that works there and she absolutely loves it there! I am so excited for this new chapter in my life and can't wait to report more on how it is going. My last day at IFA will be on the 19th of this month and I will start my new job on the 21st.
I know that the lord answers prayers, its just not always in the way we want it or at the time we want it. He knows what is best for us and those around us! He has taught me patience and how to get along with people that are not the greatest. I have met some amazing life long friends at IFA and for that I will be forever grateful! IFA has given me some wonderful people in my life and I will never forget them and all that they have done for me! I am so thankful to the Lord for all that he has given me and blessed me with! I know I can do anything as long as I trust in him! YEAH!!!! More to come.....

Still Alive..

Yep, I'm still alive and kicking. I have decided not to post anything until something exciting and or good happens in my life. Im done with the downer posts for a while and am waiting for some good to happen so I can post that instead of my depressing days and life right now. So, this may be the last post for a while unless the Lord would like to change that any time soon, and thats what I'm hoping for!!! Until then I will try to wait patiently for my life to escape this huge hole that its stuck in. Love you all and thanks for all the uplifting comments, whether it be here or on facebook. I really do appreciate it and it helps me get through each day! Love you and tah tah for now.

Someday...

I have been struggling a lot lately with the here and now. I have felt lost and stuck all at the same time. I feel as if my life is going no where fast. I so desperatley want the someday to be closer, and feel more attainable.I want to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's as if the world is spinning in cirlces and I am stopped. Watching the world and everyone else in it move forward and go on with their lives. Miserable could be a word used to describe my feelings for the past little while. I get spurts of happiness and I feel as if its not too bad, and then the misery comes back. I see so many people getting married, having families, and or finishing school, and all I can think of is when will it be my turn? The answer is always the same, someday, someday it will be your turn and you will look back and think it was all worth it. The fight and struggle was worth getting to the new here and now.
I can not tell you how much I love going to church and reading my scriptures. Yes, it is true that I am not the best at either one of these, but when I am able to get back on track I feel so much better. Answers come and peace fills my heart to its capacity. Today was one of those days. I went to a friends farewell today and felt the spirit so strongly. In every talk I felt peace in knowing that all would be okay, and that I will make it to my someday. It may be hard at times, but the Lord has blessed me with so many wonderful people to help me get through the here and now. He knew he couldn't be here personally to comfort me, so he has sent me the Holy Ghost to comfort me and some wonderful friends and family. Even when a friend has moved away and is no longer just a 15 minute drive away,they send a random text to say I love you and miss you, that too helps take away some of the pain and lonelyness. It means the world. A random hug from another friend, and a sleep over to just hang out. It all means the world. I am so thankful to the Lord for all the wonderful people he has placed in my life. You guys will never know how much you mean to me and how much I admire and look up to you all. I am so thankful for this gospel. I know that it is true. I know the Lord lives and loves each and every one of us. I know he hears and answers prayers. I have a testimony of the scriptures and how they can be answers to our prayers and give us comfort and peace when we feel we cant go any longer. I have a testimony of tithing. I know that by paying our tithing we will be blessed. We will have the things that we need. I know that families can be together forever, and can't wait to have mine. I am so thankful for the wonderful family the Lord has blessed me with. He has blessed me with amazing parents who truly love me and who have shown me how to be strong, even when times are hard. They have shown me how to love and forgive. They are wonderful and I love them more and more each day! I am so thankful to know that I am never truly alone. The Lord is always by my side, ready to give me a helping hand. He is there to help me with my everyday struggles. To help me get through the now, so I can get to the someday. I know the someday, the Eternal Family, is woth the fight and struggle. We just never realize it until it is upon us. Thank you for being my rocks!

All she wants to do is Dance Dance....

It has been one crazy week! This last week was the dance recital for me and my students at the studio. It went great! IT was so much fun, and I found my love for dance again! IT was so nice to remember why I started dancing. IT is my outlet and my way to get away from all the problems and craziness in life. I am so proud of all my girls for working so hard this year. They have all accomplished so much this year. They work their butts off at the studio and also work their butts off at school. Most of them are on dance company or cheer at school and have such hectic lives, and yet they find the time to come to my class. HOw amazing is that? I cannot express how much joy they bring into my life! They are all amazing and I love them so much. We also had the awards party for dance and we danced in the Wesfest parade. It was a busy/great week, but I am glad its over and I can take a little break from everything.
Whats next? Well, I won't be able to go to school this semester due to finances, but I will be looking for a new job that does not require me to work the weekends and the ocassional later hours. I plan to enjoy the free time I have now and just enjoy life and all that I have. I want to study up on my dancing and become a better choreographer and dancer. I want to improve so many parts of my life and become happeier with every aspect of my life. There are so many things that I can't change, but so many things I can. I need to remember that I am in control, and it is my choice whether or not I am happy. Easier said than done most of the time, but it is something to aspire too. Im hoping I can start accomplishing some of my dreams and take life by the horns. I'm ready to begin a new chapter, so here it goes! Wish me luck!
Here are some pictures of the recital:)

Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and DC!

So I decided to just write one post of the rest of my trip before I forgot. In Rhode Island we went to a Mansion that had over 70 rooms and 25 bathrooms. It was amazing and beautiful. We couldn't take pictures of the inside but I was able to take pictures of the outside. In Massachusetts we went to the Basketball hall of fame, adn that was really fun. Brittney was able to get a military discount and they allowed her to pick one person from our group to be her spouse and get the discount as well. So, as a joke she chose me, since it is legal in Massachusetts for same sex marriage. My ticket even said Military Spouse. This is now a long lasting joke, and we now call each other my spouse. When we went to the Central Park zoo, we decided to pretend and take engagement pictures. We had pictures from behind and had our hands in each others back pockets. Oh the good times and memories. I think DC was my favorite part of the trip, even though we were only there for 6 hours. It was amazing to see our nations history and how blessed we are to have men and woman fight for our freedom day in and day out. I am so thankful for all that they do, and for all that I have. I would really like to go back to Washington. I did not get to see everything and could spend an entire week there. While we were walking around, there were a lot of students on field trips. I had mentions to Donna that I bet some of them were bored and just wanted to go back to school, when we were there in awe and didn't want to leave. Not 10 minutes later, I heard a young boy tell his friend that he didn't want to go to the museums. He wanted to just go back to school. It made me laugh. The things we take for grantid. I can't wait to go back to DC, but will just have to settle with my pictures for now. So, here are the last pictures of my wonderful trip! Hope you enjoy!

State #2 = New York!!

The next state we went to was New York. Here we did so much stuff. Our time in New York was jam packed full of stuff. It was so much fun, but very busy. The first day we took a 2 hour train ride from connecticut to New York. Once we got to Grand Central Station, we walked a couple of blocks to our hotel and left our bags there. Once we dropped off our bags we headed of to the theatre. At the theatre we saw Wicked. It was amazing! I would have liked a lot more dancing though, but it was still excellent! After the play, we walked around and enjoyed Time Square. That night we went to dinner at a place called Juniors. I had a hamburger and the biggest onion ring I had ever see. It was so delicious! The next day we made our way to the Statue of Liberty. It was freezing the entire time, and Jackie spilled all my Hot Chocolate on me, but we still had so much fun and was very thankful to be there. After we got back from the statue we went and saw ground zero. It was all crossed off because they are doing construction for all the new buildings and memorial that they are planning on doing. We also went to the History of Natural Museum, and walked through central park and went to the Central Park Zoo. I wish I had pictures of the Museum, central park, and the zoo, but my memory card got left in Brittneys computer. We had so much fun in New York, and I am so very very thankful and greatful to the Lancasters for allowing me to go with their beautiful, amazing, wonderul, kind, caring, and courageous daughters! It was the best thing I have done in a long time. So, here are some pictures of what went donw in the big apple!

5 state tour! First up, Connecticut.

I am back from my wonderful wonderful trip.I went with my two best friends/sister Donna and Brittney, and their foreign exchange student/little brother Jackie who is from Hong Kong. On this trip we went to 5 different states. So, instead of writing one really long post, I am just going to do it state by state. I can not say enough how wonderful and needed this trip was. Thanks to the amazing, kind, and generous Lancaster family, it was stress free:)! So, the first state we enjoyed was Connecticut. Here is where Donna and Brittneys aunt and uncle lived, and they took us around every where. They were our tour guides the entire trip. They were so cute and so very very generous. They kept telling us that it was our trip and we could do and go where ever we wanted. Thanks to Roberta and Joe, our vacations was fun and stress free. So, what did we do in Connecticut? Well we went to the aquarium the first full day we were there. We went with Roberta, her daughter Christina, and her grandson Ricky who was adorable. We had so much fun watching him and watching our selves. While at the aquarium, I got to pet a shark and a stingray. The shark was smooth, but the sting ray was very slimy. Connecticut is so beautiful. There are trees and little rivers every where. Roberta and Joe even had a little spring/river in their back yard. It was too early in the year, so nothing was too green, but it was still beautiful and unfortunatley really cold the entire trip. So, here are some pictures of our time in Connecticut:
