Been a Long Time!

Well, things here have been pretty slow. I've been hanging out with friends a lot. The other night was Ninja Night!! We dressed in all black and went to parks to take pictures! Of all the illegal things we've done in the past, we get caught taking pictures at eleven at night!!! What kind of world are we living in!?!

Our failed attempt for a group photo!

HELGA!

Dramatic...

We were supposed to look fierce I guess...

UH....

Two more pictures before the cops got us!

I was slipping so it wasn't as cool as I wanted :(

Then at the end of the night, Hannah's car battery dies... It was time to go home!

Bad, bad day!!

Hannah and I had a bad day. :'( We really wanted to go to Hanging Lake... BUT NOOO!!!! The parking lot was too full! And then we wanted to go on a picnic but we were ditched!!

I've noticed so much how relationships change. As much as you want things to go back to normal, it will never be the same. Those relationships will still be there but it wont be the same. And the memories will always be there but they'll only be memories. You need to keep the good memories, not the bad ones.

And things do get better, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but they do get better. No matter how bad things get, you got to go on living, even if it kills you.

For me, it's been hard for me to let go of the past and to grab on to the fact that everyone is moving on. I need to too. I don't know where to start, heck, I don't even know where I'm going. I have no plan. I'm just living life day by day. We'll see where it takes me.

Update!

So, I've been home for almost two weeks!!

The other day, Hannah, Cinthia, and I went to Glenwood to go SHOPPING!!! We went to just about every shoe store there until we found the perfect shoes!!

Mossimo® Varana Platform Shooties

SO CUTE!!!

Someday, when I have more money, I'm going back for these!!

Mossimo® Paisley Platform Pumps

I really wanted them but they didn't come in my size :(

Anyways, tomorrow we are going to The People's Friday. I think they will be showing 'UP'!! Love that movie!!! And then Saturday we hope to make it up to Hanging Lake!! Cant wait!! I haven't been up there since I was like 12!!

It's so pretty up there! It is a trip that is very much needed! It's been a while since I went hiking! I love it so much and need to do it more often!

Moments that Matter Most

I found this video a few weeks ago... thought it was so cute! but it didn't seem that important to me till now.

I'm home right now with my nephew, Justin. It's weird how time goes by so fast you don't even realize it. I remember the day he was born! Now he's almost nine! Sometimes I wonder what would be different if he weren't here...

Today, I was hanging out with my best friends from high school. We went through a lot together. I remember when we all became friends. I remember all the great times we had!!

Random memory of Jessica... we went to the thrift store to find really ugly dresses... we came out with a leather jacket and stripper boots!!

Hannah... we went engagement rings! We made up stories that we were in serious relationships and were getting engaged!! Greatest day ever!!

Cinthia... we used to play Harry Potter every Sunday at her house!! We were such nerds!!!

I loved every moment with them. It's the little moments that mattered most!

Well...

Well, there was a little change of plans.

I started got really sick on Friday and I was starting to feel better. So instead of going to Lake Powell, I just came home. So right now, I'm sitting in my room in Colorado!!

Gypsum... isn't it neat?!!

Boy, have I missed this place!! I missed my bed and my own ways of doing things.

The sad thing is that I have no future life here. There's nothing for me here.

There is no place to start a new life. If that makes any sense... I'm just thinking out loud.

But I'm happy I have time to hang out with my friends!!

Today, I made Justin lunch, cut a watermelon, picked peas, and painted! It was a nice relaxing day!

Tomorrow I don't have much planned. I'll just take it by ear. If something happens that would be great!

What's New?

What's new? You may ask?

Well, not much. On Sunday, I am leaving for a week in Lake Powell!!! I'm so excited!! It's been forever!!

After a week on Powell, I'll be spending three weeks back in Colorado!

I'm so excited to be back home for a little bit. You never realize how much you miss a place till you're gone. I never thought I would miss Ol' G-Town...

I cant wait to see all my friends again and the family I have down there. This Sunday, I will have been gone for 7 weeks!! How crazy is that?? It's pretty crazy!!

While I'm home, I plan to go to the store, get some pizza sticks and coke, run to Cinthia's house, like good old times, and prank the Grayson's house!

Can't wait!!

"Good Things to Come"

Ugh! The past few days have been depressing! I'm 7 hours away from my best friends... I really need them right now! I just cant make sense of life right now.

So the past few nights I've been getting together with the few friends I have to keep my mind off things. Mostly just movie nights, making fun of each other, and running around the neighborhood, up to no good.

Last night, okay, 1:30 this morning, I was watching those awesome videos on LDS.org. I came across a video called "Good Things to Come." In the video, Jeffrey R. Holland said: "Don't you quit, you keep walking, you keep trying. There is is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don't come till Heaven, but those who embrace the the gospel of Jesus Christ, they will come. Trust in God and believe in good things to come."

That hit me really close to home. Some days I just think to myself that I'm just going to go home, I have friends there. I don't have to start over. I heard this talk and I told myself that I need to endure to the end. I might have the time of my life... I'm not sure yet but I need to find out.

ST. GEORGE COUNT DOWN: T-minus 3 DAYS!!!

On Sunday, I went to a singles ward... it was pretty scarey! There are a lot of older people... I didn't like it...

After church, we had a family party for my aunt's dad's birthday. It was fun... at first. We started playing kickball. My uncle wanted to try but he's a celiac, he has really weak bones. He fell and broke his elbow!! It was crazy! They had to take him to the emergency room. It was a crazy night!

A New Story

Well, I'm here in my new house. I'm actually really bored. My cousins are working tonight and I have nothing to do.

I learned of an occasion  they have often here, it's called Sandwich Tuesday. All of their guy friends come over and my cousin makes them a sandwich. They take their sandwiches very seriously! It should be an entertaining night.

My room is a Denver Broncos room. I thought it was going to be way different. It's pretty good. I'm still settling in and getting comfortable. It's kind of hard when my room is freezing cold. But no worries, it's nice to sleep in.

I should start job hunting soon. He says there's lot of jobs, just knowing how soon you'll get the job is the tricky part. I hope it goes well. Pray for me!

With a great story, there is Always an end

This last week was CRAZY!!!! I had so much fun with my graduating class!
