Hey Everyone! It has been long since anyone has been on Xanga. I hope everyone is good! I'm in a really good mood and its because of God! I don't know how anyone can have little or no faith at all.  I look back at my life and realize that my life would not be complete with out him! This past year i realize that i have done some stupid things and some pretty good things to better myself! My new years resolution is to better my walk with God! In order for me to do that i have this bible study book call Experiencing God that i will be doing everyday til i'm completed with the study! So far it has been good! I have loved it. I can't wait to get deeper into it! My senior year in high school just kind of floated by without really having any care about God. I really wish he were apart of it! Now that i'm in College i need him more than ever....he has always helped me through everything and will continue throughout my life! 

College is pretty much amazing. I'm glad i decided to go! There has been some hard places so far but God and my family has helped me through it.  Its easy to have a family who all believes the same. Its hard though because coming here to twin has been an adjustment that was kind of easy to get used to.  I don't have the christian friends like i did in Burley but i'm slowly finding some. I'm going to church here with one of my 5 roommates.  3 of my roommates don't really go to church but one of them is LDS and the other is Christian.  Helps going to church a lot easier since i have her the keep me going.  I found a really good guy (not here in twin but someone i knew from youth).  He is pretty great, he is in the marines and was deployed this morning for Afghanistan.  Its going to be hard but he will come back in 8 or 9 months. My family loves him to pieces. The cool thing is i have been able to help him with his walk in God and helping mine at the same time which is really cool. Our relationship has been all about God he is the priority which he should ALWAYS be! 

On that note.....everyone please pray for Ruben while he is gone.  Continue to pray for everyone around you! I love you all and God Bless!:D

School is good. Actually amazing. I have different friends this year somewhat. It is nice to have friends at school that go to my church. Missy came from Michigan and fits right in with all my friends. That made me really happy. Weights is amazing, I love working out. I just don't like the part of waking up the next morning hurting. But oh well. This past weekend was pretty cool. Cheryl, Dean, Robbie, Rob & Alyssa, Breanna & Nick(boyfriend), Mom, Dad and I all went camping. Dean, Rob, Robbie, Nick, Breanna, Alyssa, Dad and I all went on this crazy hike on Saturday. It took us about 6 hours to get up and down. God was definitely there the whole time. No one got hurt, some fell down the mountain like a foot, nothing serious. Bruises and scrapes on legs and arms. Definitely worth every single one. This week I have been reading Job. Why is it that Satan does all this stuff to us and we don't really praise God for it??? There are somethings I wish I could change would be last school year. I was so upset, I felt like I had no friends except for at church and while I was feeling this I honestly didn't really praise God. But next time something happens I will be thinking about Job and how satan did all this stuff and Job still praised God for every single thing that he did. I am praying for everyone and I hope your week has been going great.

I hope everyone is having a good summer! My summer is going. I'm not sure if I am ready for school or not even though it is not for another month. Casey and I aren't together anymore. We had a mutual agreement to break it off. At first it was weird but it has gotten better and we talk more than we did when we were together. Definitely a good thing. One good thing about us not being together anymore is that I have been able to spend more time with Kara his sister for those who did not know. I have missed hanging out with her. We hung out quite a bit when Casey was in the hospital but once he came home we didn't really hang out, because I was spending time with her brother not her. So I definitely like the girl talk again. The wedding plans for lysa and rob are going good I think. I am definitely ready for the wedding to be over. That is probably a bad thing to say, but it is the truth. Even though in two weeks I next saturday I will be leaving to go on a mission trip to Salt Lake. I am so excited. How far ahead do you pack? Me? I like to pack about a week in advance or atleast start anyways. When I went to Seattle for Thanksgiving to go and see Casey I was packed the Sunday before we left, we left on a Wednesday. I just like to be prepared. Good thing I guess. Even though I worry too much, way too much in fact. I hope you all have a good week. I love you all. Keep praying for everyone around you.
