Happy. I don't want to be sad. Sad things happen to me. Things happen to make me mad but I don't want to be mad either. Who wants to be mad or sad when you can be happy? I recently went through a frustrating time in my life. Of course it nothing compared to the struggles of others but it was in someways a struggle for me.
I was letting it sadden me, demean me. I don't want to be sad. I want to be happy. I don't want someone to hold me back, drag me down with them. Of course I will never turn from a call for help, I will never leave a friend, I will always mourn with those that need someone to mourn with them but when it comes to my own life and my own problems then I'd rather avoid the unhappy things.
There are some things beyond my control. I can't control people. I can't control their actions. I can't stop them from trying to hurt me but do I need to take it? No. I can be happy. I can refuse to let it get me down.
I don't want to be the friend whose got everyone down. I want to be the friend you can turn to when you need a smile, the friend you can turn to when you need a laugh. I want to make people happy. I want to be happy and I want others to be happy.
I want them to realize that even with their hard schedules, the fact that the person they were dating doesn't want them, the fact that their jeans are too tight or maybe their day just isn't going the way they want but I want them to realize that even with this all they have to do is smile. Awful things happen for a reason. You'll learn something from it. Be happy. Don't let anyone bring you down. If you can't pick yourself up then come to me and I'll help to lift your spirits, anything to see you smile :)

Devotional- Rob Eaton-01-19-10
I always go to devotional and I always take notes but they usually end up shoved in a binder somewhere. This time I would like to take a few minutes and actually write down my thoughts from it.
He gave us a list of seven things we can follow in the prepatory experiences that are essential for us. I really liked a few of the things that he said, they really stood out to me.
Don't take for granted what you've been given, its ignorant and rude.
Mentors- Take advantage of the opportunities that you have to work with people. What potential mentors has the Lord placed in my life? Never squander the good mentor. We have to take advantage of the opportunities when they're in the right place at the right time. I've had so many great leaders in my life that I just didn't fully appreciate. I want to appreciate those around me better. I want to understand why I am in their life. I want to follow their example and I want to be an example.
He also talked about not ignoring the corrective council in our lives. I've had soooo many friends and family members tell me that he's just not good for me and I ignored them. I shouldn't have. I should've taken their advice months ago. When a friend gives me advice I should also check out the how and why we give corrective council. I should also figure out why I am correcting anc counseling others.
When it comes to educational opportunities I should appreciate them. I need to diversify myself. I need to try lots of new things so that when a situation comes up then I can be ready to take advantage of it and be ready for it. There are so many things that are not part of my major that I want to learn. I want to learn to dance, to knit, and so much more. I should take advantage of the things offered here.
When it comes to afflictions I need to realize that they create opportunities within my life. Heavenly Father uses affliction to prepare us for other opportunities in life. Instead of asking why I need to ask "What would thou have me learn from this?"
Heavenly Father also offers us resources. He will always give us a way to escape temptation. We just need to find that opportunity. I've succumbed to a lot of temptation but I should really be using the resources he's given me to run from it.
Thats what I learned.

Weekend 01-15-10
I need to keep my blog updated better but my journal entries are sooooo stinkin boring. The next few weeks are going to be interesting. I've decided to detox the loser I was dating from my system. I don't like being used and under appreciated, taken for granted. People need to realize that "I'm kinda a big deal."
The last few days were pretty relaxing and fun though. Friday I went ice skating with Lauren, Katy, David and Jesse(one of my writers.) It was fun and great exercise. I really want to start going up there at least twice a week before it melts. The exercise is great for my body and for my mind.
Saturday I worked but that was fun. JR brought his adorable baby, Eleanor, in for a while. Then I went to Stokmans, all-you-can eat steak, and that was a blast. After that I went to work for a little longer, came home and worked on homework. Then I went and watched a movie, "Meet the Fockers" it was a little dirty, will probably never watch it again, the humor was mostly for the brain dead male; although, "Meet the Parents" will always be a winner in my book. Barbara Streisand was still awesome, I like her acting, just not her personally.
Sunday I went to church. Poor Sarah started getting sick, so she stayed home and got some rest. I came home, fell asleep a few hours and then just relaxed and did my religion homework. I couldn't sleep that night so I stayed up till 5 a.m. doing homework and writing and loading pictures. Monday we had off. I went into work at 9:30. Good thing I didn't go really earlier because the building was locked up. Joey made me really mad but mostly because I was tired. I don't know sometimes he hurts feelings and sometimes I realize that I do have feelings.
I went and developed pics with Kelly. Sarah and I went grocery shopping and I actually bought food! Someone came by with a care package for me, all the way from WV. It made my day! Darlene and her family are so awesome, they really made me feel special and loved when I needed it most. I don't know why but I've been really emotional the past few days, really hurting, and I don't like it. I probably need to cry, I haven't done that in a really long, long, long time.
Anyway, I did lots of laundry and worked out with my 10 lbs. weight and now I am studying human biology, reading my scriptures and getting ready for bed. Its been a nice, easy going weekend.

Love my family
My family may not be perfect, heck I'm not perfect. I still love them. I will always love them. I plan to have a lot of involvement with my family too. Even if I live on the other side of the country that won't stop me. It may be hard for me to get home and visit but we'll still be close. I love that my love for them grows stronger each and every day. I love them. I love them. I love them. I love that feeling. Love. Its a wonderful word, a wonderful thing. I'm so happy that I am spending eternity with my family because I really truly love them.
Back off
Get married. This is what I hear every time I go home, every time I tell someone I’m a junior in college, every time I go to a CES fireside and practically everyime I breathe. I come home for break, the little old man in the ward (you know the one who looks as though at any moment he will keel over) shakes my hand, tells me I’m such a beautiful young woman and then asks, “when are you getting married?”
Its that or I get told by my non-member grandparents that I don’t need to get married till I am 30. They tell me this but they look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them I don’t have a boyfriend. They don’t understand that when you get a boyfriend at my school you are as good as hitched.
If you’d been getting questioned about your relationship status since you were 17 you’d write this too. Maybe its because I’ve always looked older. At 14 I was asked when I was leaving for college and I’ve been getting the marriage question since I was 17. I’m only 19 now but everyone thinks I’m some old decrepit woman whose off the market because she still can’t get married. I try to be sly and sneaky and skip a grade and all I get is trouble for it.
Aging cream. There’s my solution. If you put enough of that stuff on you’ll look like an infant eventually, right? I’ll try anything to fight the overwhelming questions of singleness. In the real world the average female doesn’t get married until 26 or 27. I have 8 years! If I were to go back 8 years in time I would be 11. Does anyone want an 11 year old to get married? No? Then leave the 19 year-old alone. This logic may seem a little twisted but so was the idea of me getting married at 17.
I guess people don’t realize that I have my head set right and straight on my shoulders. I didn’t come to college to get married—despite half the female population who did. I came here to college get an education. If marriage happens then it happens. I’m doing what I’m supposed to and so if that opportunity comes along then I won’t brush it off but until then I’d like the questions to stop of my marital status to stop—unless I am filling out my tax forms-- so I can focus on school and stop worrying about the pointless.
