the last year and a half in a post.

Welcome to my blog. I'm not sure what made me decide this was a good idea.. but here I am. I've always been into documenting my life and in high school I kept a really good journal and wrote in it almost everyday. But somewhere between college, work, and being too involved with technology, I decided blogging might be a better and more efficient route for me. I used to always make fun of people for having blogs (sorry guys if you were one of them) but I just never thought people would be interested in my life but then I decided this is more for me than anything. So.. Here we go.
I don't know where to begin because the last time I documented anything about my life was so long ago that it would take me way too long to try to catch up, so I'll just start from here. (With a little bit of my past here and there.)
So for the last year and a half I have been attending Dixie and it has been the best time of my life. And although the weather and cost of tuition is a huge reason as to why I love it down there, that is also the least important. As cliche and dumb as it sounds Dixie really did change my life and all for the better. I finally found myself and someone who I was proud of, and who would of thought all that would happen in small town St. George? I moved in with 5 amazing girls who I kind of knew because of mutual friends and instagram. At first I was so skeptical of moving down there, and the only thing that made it happen is because my ex boyfriend lived down there, and because it was the only school I applied to and let alone the only school I could even get into (I barely graduated high school due to my love of sleeping in) But one way or another I found my self in St. George, and every day I find myself loving it more and more.
I've been mormon my whole life but like a lot of others I became completely inactive in high school and hated myself for it, but never admitted it to anyone and can barely admit it to myself. Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved high school and all the memories I made but I was never genuinely happy and I was ruining the relaionship I had with my family, and I knew it was time for change. All my roommates all seemed so happy and had this glow that I was so infatuated by and was constantly wondering what I was doing wrong and why their happiness was so much more intense and real. I finally figured it out, and it was the love they had of the chruch and christ. I found myself going to church with them and soaking up every minute of being there. After months of going to church and talking to the bishop, I found myself the happiest I have ever been. I quickly read the Book of Mormon and the testimony I once had quickly came back it was so much more intense and deep.
Quickly after that I met an amazing boy named Brett (which is a post in itself and I'll go in to detail about that later) haha. Ever since last January things have been so much better than I have ever planned or even imagined for myself. I have the most amazing family and single most greatest parents. Amazing roommates that have turned into my absolute best friends. 
And that about sums it up, until next time.
