Bucket List 2012

In lieu of New Year's Resolutions, I'm making a Bucket List for 2012. I did this last year, and I actually accomplishment a lot of things from my list, but I never blogged about it. Fail. This year, though, I'm committed! So without further ado:

Welcome!

Welcome to my little corner of the world!
I am a 21 year old college student, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a sister, a friend, a musician, a nanny, a seamstress, and so many other things! I want this blog to represent all of those things, because they are all important to me. I want a place to share my thoughts, my projects, my friends and family, and my accomplishments with everyone!

I used to blog, once upon a time, but I rarely posted because I would write something, and throw it out thinking it was good enough, or appealing enough, or funny enough. I have finally come to realize that it doesn't matter. This blog is for me, and if I am the only one that reads it, then that's just fine. If other people read, then that's great too!! I am not going to change my views to make someone else happy. :) I welcome other's comments and ideas, even if they are contrary to my own, as long as they are respectful.

Enjoy!

Hey, It's Okay!

It's time for another Hey, It's OK Friday Saturday! Inspired by Amber!!

Hey, It's OK....

..... if I ignored my blog for many months because I was working two jobs while in school full time.

..... if I cry over having to let a job offer in Manhattan slip by, even though the job I already have will be wonderful and rewarding.

..... if I really really really really want to spend all of my summer earnings (that are supposed to be for school) on a week-long trip to Disneyland!

..... if I blog even though I have 57 things on my to-do list before I move in exactly 3 weeks!

..... to be super excited to move back to the humidity!!! :) (That's not even sarcastic. I really do love it)

..... to be looking forward to my summer job (at a summer camp, as a rock climbing instructor) even if I feel under-qualified and unprepared.

..... to spend hours hanging out with my best cousin Jennifer almost every day in an attempt to avoid my responsibilities.
