It might surprise you...

     Hey friends. So, I am now a sophomore in the middle of my third semester at BYU-Idaho, and I have decided to start using my blog! This first post is going to be a bit scatter brained as this weekend is super busy and stressful, and I'm just taking a break from my never ending to-do list to record a few thoughts. 

     Well, I am majoring in Elementary Education, and when I'm not in school, I move back home and work at Disneyland as a cashier at quick service restaurants and I LOVE it!  School is great. I have some pretty amazing supportive friends, my professors this semester are awesome, and I really am learning a lot! Work is amazing! I work with some of the coolest people! I grew up going to Disneyland with my family at least once a month, and it has always felt like home to me.  Now, I am on the other side of the counter, and  I see everything from a different perspective. Oh, and I get to wear all the... interesting outfits haha. 

     This semester has been especially challenging for me as my classes have gotten harder, and my work load has expanded quite a bit. I have not been able to see my friends nearly as much as I would like, but I really am learning and growing a lot.  I've decided that this blog can be a place for me to share thoughts and express myself.

Because I am so scattered brained today, I have decided to leave you a nice list of random things you may not know about me.
-I sing in the shower and when I drive... quite loudly and probably not very well.
-I dread the day I "grow up" and loose my imagination.
-Flowers make me happy.
-I have a rather large sweet tooth.
-I'm pro at procrastinating. Seriously. I do things at the last second, and not a moment sooner.
-People kinda scare me... so I'm pretty shy at first.  I am trying to grow out of this.
-When I was younger, I there were several things I wanted to be when I grew up. The list included a dolphin trainer, ballerina, teacher, and Sleeping Beauty at Disneyland.  Well, at least I'm following one of those dreams, well one and half I guess. My major is elementary education and I work at Disneyland... just not as Sleeping Beauty :)
-I like bright colors.
-I was born in Anaheim and never moved very far from there until I was 18 and left for college... all the way to a small town in Idaho. Culture. Shock.
-I've never been out of the country, but one day I hope to travel to Europe, and explore.
-I kinda know how to play the flute, and I really wish I knew how to play the guitar.  I even begged my parents for one enough that I got one for Christmas, a couple years back, but still don't know how to play it.
-I enjoy reading books, but struggle with my text books.  I guess I just really enjoy loosing myself in a great story. My imagination tends to transport me into the book. I have to be careful to not start a good book when I know I have a lot of school work going on, because I loose my focus and cannot put the book down.  I even tend to stay up way late to read the book.
-I love pictures and photography.
-I am Mormon.  I believe in that I have a loving Father in Heaven who sent His son Jesus Christ to be our Savior so that one day we can return to live with Him. I also believe that the Bible and the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. I am very open about my beliefs and if you have any questions, feel free to ask me :)
- I enjoy drawing.
-If you haven't already noticed, I kinda like/love all things Disney.
-If I had one wish, I would wish for more wishes.
-Never seen an R rated movie, done drugs,  or drank alcohol, tea, or coffee.
-There are four children in my family, of which I am the oldest.  I have 2 younger brothers and a younger sister.
-Back home I have 2 pets; a dog and a turtle, both with the most original names. Buddy and Speedy ;)

Well, I probably have rambled on enough and really should get back to my homework :)
