BYU Idaho

So about 3 weeks ago, actually Friday February 17th was probably the hardest day for me. My friend Shaylee Wilcox who goes to BYU texted me and asked if I got accepted to BYU. I didn't even know they were sending out their acceptances yet! So I hurried and got on the computer to check. When I saw the word DECLINED on that screen I broke down. It still makes me cry just thinking about it. I knew that it would be hard for me to get in, but I prayed and prayed that I could somehow get in. Ever since my first year at EFY where I met Caitlin and we decided we were going to go to BYU together and room together and everything, it was always a dream of mine. But that won't be happening. Not at first at least. But the hardest part of it was just seeing it on the screen, and making it official. It is hard when something in life goes differently than what you imagined and you kind of have to redirect your path!

That is what I am having to do! I feel good about my decision to go to BYU Idaho. I had the choice between going to Idaho or just going to UVU in Orem and living in BYU housing. But I know I am meant to go to Idaho. Things are just kind of playing out for me to go there. I am going to room with my friend Gracie from California. I think it will be such a good experience. And I know a lot of kids from my old stake in California that are going there. I know that I will have a good time and get a good education.

I do not know the reason why I didn't get into BYU, however I do know now that it just wasn't meant to be. Luckily, Rachel Potter was at my house when I found out the sad news and she told me exactly what i needed to hear. She told met that there is a reason I didn't get in and no matter what, everything is going to be okay. I don't know if I will know immediately the reason why I need to go up to Idaho, but in time I will know. I am excited for the new experience and to finally get out of high school.

So remember... if things don't go the way you planned, obviously there is a reason. Everything happens for a reason. Heavenly Father has a set plan for us and we just need to have faith and go with whatever happens :)

Gossip

GAHHHHHH. I can't take it anymore. I have never ever seen so many people that just gossip and gossip and gossip about other people. Even when they are standing right there! It is so stupid and so dumb and it is so hurtful. Can i please just be in college already where no one knows anyone and no one has any reason to be stupid, mean, and immature? 6 more months... college please come faster!

Forgiveness

I just wanted to say that forgiveness is so powerful. Why hold a grudge on someone and never let anything go? I feel like that only hurts you if you do not forgive someone and move on. So we need to try and forgive anyone that has hurt us. I definitely am learning to.
Alright that is all <3

I got my hairs cut..

So this past week, on Tuesday, I got a HAIRCUT. I have wanted to cut my hair for the longest time. But I also wanted to have long pretty hair. I realized that my hair was never going to grow the length that I wanted it so I decided I would just get it cut. So I got an A-line cut, with some highlights. Such a big change! I think the lady cut off about 3 or 4 inches. It is weird to run my hands through my hair and its gone! But I am glad that I did it. I love the change. It was SO needed. And I just feel good about myself. It was fun:)

This isnt a very good picture, but you get the idea :)

Rant for the day...

I am going to go on a little rant right now. Today has been such a terrible day. I have been shaking all day because I just feel like crap.

Can I just say that some girls in high school are just so freaking rude sometimes? Here's the story. So I like this guy named Zack.. he is going on a mission soon but we are still good friends and we both like each other. His little sister used to be one of my friends. She completely freaked out when I hung out with him and was texting people about it. Then I go on facebook and I saw a post on this girls wall. It said "We need a good movie night! Ohh and that girl really wants to be you! Same hair cute same guys. What else is next?" The girl whos wall it was on dated him a long time ago. I knew this was about me because the girl who posted it says stuff about me to Zack's little sister all the time. I was talking to my friends about it today and it is all just so stupid. They need to grow up. They do not even know me! They have no right to talk about me the way that they do. They think I am going to keep Zack from going on his mission. But why would I do that to someone I care about? I am not like that. And I am not a skank that will do anything with him to keep him from going. Some people really need to think before they try to purposely create dumb drama... on something or someone they know nothing about. It doesn't make them look or sound cool.

Anyways.. I think that is it. Life is just so crazy right now. But I have such great friends that have helped me so much and told me just to ignore them and stay positive.
