I have never ever been a fan of change. I actually hate it. I really do not like going outside of my comfort zone and making my life different. I did not want to graduate from high school and move away from my parents house, but once I did and got situated down in Cedar City I began to love it. Some change can be good, but I just hate the process of it all.
It is time for a big change in my life, and I am not sure how I feel about it. After living in Stadium Way for 4 years in the same room, I will be moving to a different part of town. This is a big change for me, I have only moved once in my life. I love my apartment here, but I am now one of the oldest ones, and I am not liking it. Danielle, Ashleigh, and I just signed a 1 year lease on a very cute apartment! Getting a grown-up apartment is a lot different and more difficult that I ever thought it was going to be. It was pretty stressful but I think we will be happy with our decision. We will be living on the north side of town, so that means that I will have to wake up even earlier to get to school. That wont be fun, but we will finally be away from all the freshmen!
So now that I actually have to move, I have to start thinking about packing. For the average college student they usually move after the school year, but me I have been in the same room for 4 years, and I have acquired so much stuff...It's actually kind of sickening! I have started to go through a couple of things and it has already been quite a job. The sad part is that I have not even hit the tip of the ice burg! We get to move in on the 1st of May, that gives me the whole week of finals week to move, the only problem is that finals week is stressful enough, and I will be busy at work with one of the busiest holidays of the year: Mothers Day. So I hope I can get a lot of stuff packed before hand, I just do not know where to begin! I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff. The D.I. will love me!
So with the addition of moving, comes another huge change in my life...GRADUATION!!! Now it wont be till next year, but ready or not in just over a year I will once again put on that cap and gown and be done with school at SUU. (Unless I get a wild hair and decide to go to grad school here, but not likely) I need to talk to my councilor to hash out all the details, but I know that I can finish my degree within a year. Now since I can't really do much with my degree so I have been thinking what I really want to do with the rest of my life. I have come to the conclusion that I would like to do something in criminal justice. I don't know what I will end up doing, but I think that is where I want to end up someday. Maybe in the job that would give my parents a heart attack, but I am keeping that one a secrete for now. I know I will have to go to more school for it, but I would rather do something worth while and that I know I would love and be happy, then do something that would make me miserable.

Spring Break!
Is anything better than Spring Break? Well...I guess some things can be better than spring break, but it is a much needed free week right now! I am loving putting school on hold for one week. I am pretty sure that all of my professors got together and decided that they would plot against me to make my life a living hell for two straight weeks leading up to spring break. I made it through the craziness and I am dreading when I have to go back to school!
So anyone that knows me will tell you my room is a total mess 90% of the time. It's not something that I exactly like, but I just get so far behind in my cleaning that its a little overwhelming, I then usually get an "I don't care" attitude and deal with it for a while. Well on my day off I decided that I would try to clean my room. It's quite the task! I didn't get it as clean as I wanted, but I made major progress, which is a big improvement. Some things that I learned while cleaning my extremely messy room were:
1. Cleaning pays off...literally! I found $50 I totally forgot I had! I thought I had already spent it, so that was such a nice surprise.
2. I have so many shoes that I could probably put shoes on every person in a third world country! I blame this on my mom...she is a shoe freak too!
3. If you stay in the same apartment for almost four years, you find out how much crap you have collected...I probably have 4 times as much stuff as I did when I moved here.
4. Trash can pile up very fast, and will appear in the most random places.
5. I have way too much jewelry... I don't know what to do with all of it.
6. I really need to go through all of my clothes. My closet is over flowing. I also have a shopping problem, again another thing that I have inherited from my mom.
There are other random little things, but to sum it all up when I move it's going to be one hell of a job! I have way too much crap! If anyone would like to help me move, you are all more than welcome to come!
I spent one night of my spring break in St. George. I stayed at my brother Tyler's apartment. It was so fun! Ty slept on the couch and Kristen and I slept on extra mattresses on the floor. I laughed so hard at Ty and his roommates! Braeden opening the fridge and having a whole jar of pickles go on the floor was pretty funny. I also got to have my hair done...it needed it so bad! I got to also see Rustin and Baby Porter for a second! Porter looked so cute in his St. Patrick's Day outfit!
So...turning a bad day into a good day is possible. I was feeling sad about a couple of things and so were the roommates...we decided to have some fun to cheer us all up! Amanda and I went bowling. It was a lot of fun, and a good way to get some frustration out! Neither of us did to well, but we had fun and that is what really counts! After that we decided to go to Canyon Park and swing. It was a very windy day and a bit chilly but it was still way fun. We also played on the play ground, we all felt like little kids again. After that we played Just Dance 2 and some singing game on the wii. It was a great day!
The slide was so fun!
I think I was climbing up the little rock wall
I always think its funny that there is always a steering wheel on a playground...Don't worry I was a good driver, and I did not wreck the playground into another playground!
Getting ready to go down the slide. I'm not quite sure what my hair is trying to do though.
Climbing up the hole!

I told them to act like it was hard to get up...

Spring break is over and I am sad! Homework was put off ...not a good thing! Its been so nice to not have to worry about everything and just enjoy myself, now back to the busy life! I must also say that I have the most amazing friends in the world! I have never in my life had greater friends than I do now. I know they will always be there for me if I ever need anything...even if its just to sit on the phone with me when I am sad and crying! Everyone comes into your life for a reason. These people help us in some way, teach us something about ourselves, and make us better people. Thanks to all my wonderful friends!
