Well, this time I only went 4 months instead of 5! Progress! I realized after writing a really really long letter to Spencer that I need to blog again. I have so much going on in my life and I feel like I need to share it with someone! And Spencer is the person that I have always shared everything with. But he's on a mission and doesn't need to hear about EVERYTHING going on in my life. So. No more novel letters and back to blogging!
What's going on in my life? For starters, I just started school again for the first time in a year. What caused me to do such a thing? Let's be honest, I miss flying for free! Because my mom works for Skywest I have always been able to fly for free. That was until I turned 19. After that I had to be going to school full time. As most of you know, School and I don't get along very well. Actually, we hate each other. But I decided to put our differences aside so I can travel the world.
I'm still living on my own in Logan and working at the Holiday Inn. And boy what an adventure this has been! I've met so many new people and I feel like I've lived here for years even though it's only been a few months. I've learned how to play poker (my mom gives me crap about it daily!) which I thought I would never do. But it's so fun! Don't worry, I'm not addicted or anything, it's just a fun card game. I've baked like there's no tomorrow, and I've learned that life is anything but cheap. One thing that I haven't done a whole lot of is dating. For some reason, guys don't like me. Guys are always complaining cause they are stuck in the "friend zone", but it goes both ways! All guys are just friends with me. It's not a bad thing. But it would be nice to get asked out on a few dates here and there.
I've learned that cars...are NOT cheap. You think you've bought an awesome car for a good price. You take good care of it like getting the oil changed when you're supposed to and putting the good gas in it instead the cheap crap. You think you're golden. Until one day it just decides to not work for you! This happened to me yesterday. Everything was awesome until I tried to go to work and my car wouldn't start! It was teasing me. It tried to start and then just wouldn't. It was not very nice. My friend let me borrow her car (I felt terrible for calling her at 7 in the morning waking her up) and I made it to work. I cleaned off all of corrosion on the battery hoping that would fix it. Still nothing. So my friend charged it for about an hour with his battery charger. It finally started! So I let it sit for a bit and tried it again. Started again! I thought I was done! Nope! So I get out of class today and I was gonna be a few minutes early for work. Awesome! Until my car decides to not start again! I was so frustrated. I called my manager to let her know that I was going to be late but that I was trying. She was so sweet about it and sent one of the housekeepers to help me push it out of the parking spot so I could jump it. It finally started! I still have yet to figure out what's completely wrong with it. I'm taking it in to get the battery looked at after work. Let's cross our fingers that it's a repair under $300.
To end this boring blog post, I'm going to share my New Year's resolutions. I haven't really written them down yet so I guess this is my way of getting them written down instead of just keeping them in my head.
First, I'm going to become more financially stable this year. I know it's super cliche, but it's something that I really need to do. I'm going to keep my receipts and get out of as much debt that I possibly can. I can't stress about living paycheck to paycheck and still barely making it. My parents are helping me out by paying my insurance and phone bill (another perk of going to school). And in the summer I'm going to move to Willard to live with some family friends so I can not pay rent for a few months. Hopefully this will get me more stable so that I can spend more on Black Friday this year!
Second, I'm going to actually pay my tithing every month. I have always payed my tithing. Until I moved to Logan. I kept meaning to but I never got around to it and then I was hurting for money so bad that I just didn't pay it. But I realized that's why I was hurting for money. I know I should pay it right after I get paid every paycheck, but I'm going to pay it at the end of the month in one monthly payment. I'm hoping this will help me become more financially stable and become closer to my Heavenly Father.
Third, I'm going to read the Book of Mormon and bare my testimony on it. I haven't born my testimony in years. It's kind of bad, but I just feel like I haven't been as close to my Heavenly Father as I know I can be. I've also never actually read the Book of Mormon so I've never been able to stand on the pulpit and say "I know the Book of Mormon is true." I want to be able to say that! So that's my goal. Hopefully it will help me build up the courage to bare my testimony more than once this year, but I'm trying to be realistic about my resolutions. So I'm only guaranteeing that I will bare my testimony once.
Well, this is my long and overdue blog post. Hopefully I will be back more with more boring posts about my life. But hey, I'm not making you read this! So it's your choice if you come back or not! :)
