School & Sickness: The Perfect Combo

Don't you just love getting sick? The flu/food poison kind. Actually I'd rather die than feel like this ever again. I would honestly rather have pneumonia for a week than feel nauseated for ten minutes. I don't handle flu well. I had to miss classes yesterday because of this awful sickness. If you know me than you know how bad it is when I miss class. Mike did take very good care of me though but then he got sick... Oops. I'm trying to feel better today. I don't want to let myself be sick. I HATE BEING SICK!! I wouldn't let myself throw up because it honestly SCARES me. Pathetic I know but oh well. Only one more day of the second week of the second semester. All the reading just might kill me. Well I'm off to WalMart so goodbye! (:

Yellow Brick Road

I'm off to see the wizard to get wiser, meaning: I'm going back to school to hopefully get smarter. Maybe I'll learn something I didn't know this semester. Ha I may have gotten myself in over my head for this semester. I'm taking three English classes and one Science class. They are: English 2010, Intro to Fiction, Intro to Poetry, and Biology. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of writing. I'm good with English; it's the Biology I'm worried about. I'm taking three of my four classes with Michael and my 4th class is being taken with Allie. We'll, thankfully, be sharing books and cutting down the cost we have to spend on them. I have a good feeling about this semester and I'm pretty excited.

Tomorrow is going to be a girls day for Allie and I since we haven't had one since the semester ended. I'm so excited to see her! Mike is spending the weekend with his best friend/cousin so we will both be getting girl or boy time. That will be very good for us. I'm hoping that after spending so much time apart we will appreciate each other that much more. Maybe we can go on a real date! (: I got to re-dye my hair today and I was soo glad to see my awful roots go. I think I will be adding various colors (natural) to my hair to spicen things up a bit; we all know how I love that. All in all I'm very excited to be going back, even though I'm going to miss my family a lot. I think I've tortured them enough for awhile though, so now I need to go away so they'll remember why they like having me around again(Kidding Mom). I wish I had been able to spend more time with my friends but that's their loss. I offered and they avoided so oh well. I'm ready to go home to the man of my dreams and my best girlfriend. Second semester here I come!

The Past

Wow... it's been quite some time and a lot has happened. My first semester of college is over and I'm ready for the second semester to start. I really like college and living on my own. I'm still not sure as to what my plans are for next year. I can't believe how fast 2010 went by. In 2011 I'm going to try to be better about writing on my blog. Mike and I are pretty much back together... maybe not officially but we might as well be. I don't exactly know where we're going to end up but I'm willing to stick around and find out. I really hope that in the end everything will work out for us. We are truly perfect for each other and I love him so much. On New Years Eve Mike and I had been together for two years. Sometimes it seems like it's been soo much longer and other times it feels like it hasn't been anywhere near that long. I love being with him though and having him be apart of my life. I hope we have infinite more years together. For now though, there's just some problems we need to solve in our relationship and in ourselves before we can make any plans for our life together. For now, us getting married is being put off. We'll see what happens in the future.

There was one good thing that has come from Mike and I taking a break: I got closer to some of the girls that live in my dorm. My friend Allie has pretty much become my best friend (besides Mike). She is hilarious and so fun to be around. She helped me through my hardest time and she continues to be there for me no matter what. A part of me feels like part of the reason I was supposed to go to CEU was to meet her. She is awesome and I love her to death. She brings out the crazy in me but the good crazy.

Too much has really happened to explain it all but I'll be better at writing in 2011 and I'll put up some pictures from December 2010. Happy New Years and I hope we all have the best 2011 ever!

This is Allie and I at Temple Square.

This is me, Allie, and Taryn at Temple square. Oh and my big ugly boot... don't forget that. Soo glad that's off! Anyway, we went up to Temple Square because Allie and Tarym were singing with the Institute choir and I just came along for the ride.

The Salt Lake Temple. Where I WILL get married someday.

This is Allie, me, and D'Lee at their family Christmas party that I got to tag along to.

This is Allie and I getting all ready for our wo-man date. (Our girls night) It involved lots of junk food and possibly some chick flicks.

Haha this is an awful picture of us but I love it. We went and played in the snow in the mountains. I even still had my monstrous boot on so we wrapped it in a garbage bag. I loved it and we had a lot of fun even though lots of people got stuck a lot... even the big, bad Duramax... haha

I had an amazing 2010 and I hope 2011 is even better. My goal is to make it that way!

The End

Mike and I officially ended our relationship today. That was hard. I honestly expected us to end up together in the end, but if that's not true then I know God has a better plan for me in store. Waiting will be vicious. I still feel like my world has burned down and I know it'll be even worse when I wake up in the morning and have to re-remember what happened but I will over come. After everything I've gone through in my life I can get through anything. Being strong and independent is in my genes. If I can sell my contract for housing then maybe I'll be able to move home and just transfer to UVU. I don't belong down here anymore. We all know I only moved here to be with Mike, and well... that's clearly pointless now. Maybe after I give him back all his stuff and burn memories I'll be able to grow up and move on, but for now all I feel like doing is crying. It doesn't seem real. Mike and I breaking up for good? What? Not us. Well... I guess Satan can get to anyone. It breaks my heart. I've never loved someone like I loved Mike. I guess everything that happened was for the best. I learned a lot and it brought me back the gospel. I'll move on eventually. I just need my grieving period.

ER Visit

This is a picture of my poor broken foot. It was makeovers gone horribly wrong. Me, a couple of my roommates, and the girls across the hall were doing makeovers and we had mask on our faces. We were going down to floor one with it on so we were running and people were coming so I jumped the last couple stairs and tripped and fell on my foot bad. I heard the bone snap. My lovely roommates and friends rushed me to the hospital while I impatiently waited for Mike to get to Price. I was shaking soo bad so it was hard to get the X-rays taken. They gave me medicine and wrapped my foot up. I now have to go see a special foot doctor so they can set my bones. I'm worried that they'll start to heal and then they'll have to re-break them. The medicine knocked me out cold last night and apparently I rambled on for quite some time, says Mike. I hate medicine. I'm gonna stick with Advil as long as it helps. We went hunting this last weekend and didn't get anything. The snow in the mountains made it very hard. Mike didn't hunt on Sunday and I'm so very proud of him for making that decision. I have the best boyfriend ever. He takes such good care of me and it boggles my mind. I don't know what I did to deserve him but I'm very lucky!

Cutest Future Nephew!

Here are some pictures of my adorable future nephews that I love to spend time with and take pictures of.
This first one is of Travis and Mike. This was the night that we went and played basketball. Travis is the oldest of all the grand kids; he'll be two in November.

This second picture is of Chandler; Travis little brother. He'll be one in January. He's in his cute little robe.

These last two are of Baby Dylan. He is my favorite. He is THE cutest baby ever! He is so happy. His mom calls me his girlfriend because he gets so happy whenever he sees me. I adore him.















Anyway... this weekend: interesting. Megan and I took seven hours to deep clean her kitchen- just the kitchen. It made me freaking tired. Other than that the weekend was kinda boring. Now I'm back at school and classes are normal. I have an english paper due on Wednesday that I keep procrastinating. I don't have my Excel class for the rest of the week- thank heavens! We're going camping/hunting this weekend and it's going to be COLD! I am excited though. Mike's bishop thinks that a goal to get married in the temple this Summer is a good idea so I hope we can make that happen!

Finally Fall!!

So my best friend is all grown up and married.







and we had quite the crazy weekend!



I'm so very proud of Chantel! She found an amazing guy who treats her right. Not quite as good as my boy but no one's perfect. (:Chantel and Ken's wedding was beautiful. I cried. I loved being a bridesmaid. I loved seeing Chantel so happy. Thank you Ken for handling Chantel right. Mike came and picked me up Tuesday night after the wedding and we came home. He was soo cute to me because he missed me. He always makes sure to take perfect care of me. The rest of that week went by so fast. My classes are getting harder. Only my Excel class really. It's kicking my butt. It literally gives me a headache and makes me want to cry. I got it up until now but now I call my mom every day and ask for help. She's amazing. She always helps me without complaining. Even when I need help with the three assignments I have to do in one day. Best mom ever? Yes! On Friday Mike and I went to the park and I made him take pictures with me.















He's such a good sport; he HATES pictures. He only gives into me sometimes. I love him. On Saturday we went up North to see Crystal in the hospital. Two days after she had baby Chloe she found out that she PPH (Primary Pulmonary Hypertension) I don't exactly know what it is but it's not good. Please pray for her. The Hurst family has a fundraiser going for her to help pay for all the treatments she's going to need. Miracles still do happen so please pray. Seth and Chloe need her.

This week is going by soo slow. Yesterday night we went to the elementary school and played PIG with Travis. Mike won. Let me tell you how much I liked that. I took pictures of that night but I'll put them up later. I'm only going to one class tomorrow and then it's Fall Break! Woo Hoo! On Saturday we're hopefully going to call in elk and just watch them. I'm stoked. Next weekend we're going camping/hunting. There's gonna be bathrooms!! (: Haha I'll get over that some day. I'm loving college and being closer to Mike. I do miss my family though. It's really kicked in this week. I have the best life ever. Lately I've felt so close to the Spirit. Nothing that would drive the Spirit away appeals to me at all. I hope I can keep this feeling with me at all times. I know the Church is true with my whole heart and soul. I can't imagine my life without the Gospel in it. Mom thank you for never giving up on me. I'm glad God never gave up on me either. I now know that no matter what you can be forgiven. Thank you to everyone who always believed in me. I'm glad that I finally opened my eyes. Next step: marry Michael Levi Hurst in the temple for time and all eternity.
