Less Than Three Miracles

This summer has been possibly the fastest and the busiest. It's interesting how I feel like I've really needed this time, that I'm not the same person who left Washington back in June.
Anyway, so I've put in my application to be a full time student at BYU starting in January! I'm kinda nervous, not gonna lie! But I really feel like I'm going to end up wherever it is that I'm supposed to. I mean either way I'm going to be going to school somewhere in January! I can at least look forward to that right?!
I'm actually liking Provo. Who knew? I've made some great friends out here.
It's so weird that Sister Hall gets home at the end of this month and that everyone is coming home soon. I'm looking forward to getting to see Moose again that's for sure!
Things aren't perfect (but honestly, when ever are they?) but I can see the miracles happening in my life and I feel extremely blessed. I'm exactly where I need to be and I'm grateful for it. Well, it's rather late and I should probably get to bed since at this point I'll probably wake up in the morning and read this and wonder what on earth I was thinking when I wrote it! I just realized that it has been quite a while since the last time I posted anything so I figured I might as well fix that now!
Thanks for putting up with my ramblings!

Less than three New Beginnings

SO! I'm at school! I'm crazy nervous about it and ya...Provo is CONFUSING I will NEVER be able to find my way to school, or if I do I have no idea how long it will take me :S But! Half the struggle is over! I'm here! I'm all settled in and my school is paid for and I've got the classes I wanted and whoo everything should be just fine! I just have to remember to breath every now and again...
Anyway! It's BEAUTIFUL outside! I feel like this is one huge new beginning for me. A chance to do some things differently. I feel I changed so much on my mission but that I've changed a lot since I've been home. I'm certainly not the same person I was a year ago or even six months ago. So hopefully all of this is a recipe for success and everything will work out. Well, scratch that! I know everything will work out! I just have to remember that!
Well, anyway, just wanted to catch ya'll up! I can't wait for school to get started! I've waited so long for this! It will be great!

Less than Three,

Less Than Three Simple Things




Wow! It's been quite a while! Sorry about that!
Things have been crazy around here! I'm getting ready to go to school, saving every penny I make so that I can make my rent for the summer, which I'm still not sure I'll be able to do. I was really looking forward to getting a job just for extra money so I could go and do stuff and not have to worry about living expenses, but as always life never turns out the way I plan!
I was sick for a few weeks and that really did me in! However! I DID make my tuition! It is such a good feeling to know that my classes are paid for and that I don't owe anyone a cent for them. It did hurt though to write out that echeck for 1,079 dollars! But I'm so grateful I get this opportunity to go back to school. So it's worth it!
So I've been pretty much just working and that's about it! I haven't even started packing which is kinda weird since I was ready to start packing about two months ago! Haha!
Things are starting to get crazy, I leave in a week and a half and I'm starting to stress just a bit! But I know it will all work out.
It's kinda weird to try to think of myself as there, in Utah, going to school. I'm so excited though!
Anyway that's about all that's new on my end! Ah the simple things in life!

Les Than Three Gratitude

I hate seeing people take the blessings in their lives for granted. I'm guilty of this all the time, I know. I just, I hate to see someone not realize what they have. I know that it's easy to take something you've had all your life for granted, and sometimes it takes seeing people who don't have what you do to make you realize how important those things are. Sometimes it doesn't eve click THEN, I just wish it didn't take so much for us to be grateful.

So do me a favor, think of something that you take for granted and make a decision to try to never take it for granted again. I'm going to do this too.

I'm really lucky, I mean life isn't what I want it to be, but whose life is exactly the way they want it? We don't always get what we want when we want it, but we always get something we need and probably something better. I'll admit, I have a tendency to focus on the things that I don't have. I think it's easy to get discouraged when you see others getting everything you've ever wanted and you don't, but maybe there's something else coming, something better? Maybe the secret to happiness is to just ride the wave, go with the flow, put your trust in Heavenly Father and let him steer you where you should be. Maybe that's something I haven't been doing enough. I mean it takes some effort on our part, we have to do what we can and just let the rest go. Faith is an interesting thing, it's something I've done a lot of thinking about in the past few months.


Wow I've gotten on a tangent. I can't even remember what I started this out as!
Anyway, I'm just grateful for so much. I'm going to work harder on focusing on that!

Less Than Three Music

I have a thing for music. As I'm sure you can figure out since I've named my ipod F.R.E.D. and claim him to be the love of my life... (by the way F.R.E.D. stands for Freaking Rad Electronic Device)

Anyway, I just updated my music list on here, at first I just wanted it to be country, but I decided a play list of only Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Pickler songs would probably get a bit boring. So I added. I don't have all of the songs on there I want, but that's all I could remember at the moment!

So, I hope you enjoy it, Sister Hall said that you can tell a lot about a person by the kind of music they like and their favorite songs..I'm not so sure what my play list says about me... :S

Less Than Three,
