dirty marbles, sista raps, and thoughts on college.

Sunday is the best day of the week.  We play games and we eat my dad's peanut butter honey popcorn.

Now that we have nine o'clock church, we have the wonderful opportunity to take naps. Oh how I love to sleep! My little sistas on the other hand, like to make up things like this instead:


I'm definitely going to miss this when I am off to college and a mission. I picture myself going to BYU and enjoying it there. It is a lovely place, you know. But I also picture myself coming home on Sunday and enjoying some time with my favorite people.

College has definitely hit me in the face lately. It's weird to think that I will probably never see my high school class again. Most of the boys will be gone by June serving their LDS missions, and as for the girls... who knows?

But mostly, I am unsure of what I want to study. Since junior high, I have pictured myself becoming a photographer, but there are many other things that interest me, too. I've thought about becoming an english teacher and inspiring the lives of my future students. But I'm scared that I am not qualified for such a dream. All I know is that I want to be qualified.
  I want to inspire.

I have definitely turned more to my Heavenly Father for guidance in times like these. My prayers become deeper and my relationship stronger
And that's how it is supposed to be.

Hey, I'm thinking of being an English Teacher, too. But maybe not. I don't know. I want to be a writer, but we'll see what happens.

College is cool, but it still hasn't told me what to with my life. You'll like it though, probably. Even though it is really weird/exciting when all your guy friends leave on missions. Yeah.

Cheers.

I can't believe I never even saw this.... I think that every person who has taken Nelson's creative writing class wants to become an english teacher. Haha
But, ya know what, going on a mission and being a mom especially... you will inspire more than you even know it. More than you even try to.
If it's any consolation in the future, know that you have inspired me.
