From a change of heart, to another change of heart.

      Hey everyone. I really wish I was better at keeping up with this, but I always feel like I have nothing exciting to write(or type) if i'm always doing it so frequently. Heck, why not at two in the morning on top of that?

     
     So, as far as updating my life goes.........i'm currently on a 3 week break from working on the temple in Honduras! Sometimes I still can't believe i've been given the opportunity to work on a temple, let alone the first one built in the country I served my mission in! So for these last couple of months, i've been visiting old families, friends, converts, not so active members, missionaries, so on and so forth. It's been incredible doing all of this and besides missing two more semesters of school, there's no where else i'd rather be at the time. The best part about this is that i'm taking part in something that will last FOREVER. Not just until I die, not until the end of the mayan calendar, not even until the end of the next "rapture". This is something I KNOW will stay standing every single day on this earth unless the Lord sees otherwise. For that, I am grateful.


     Now, for this break of mine, it's been pretty awesome. I was in Provo for a couple of weeks and got to spend some time with brothers, get some barbeque with mission buddies, wander around Midway for a bit(it's worth it, you should try it sometime), got to see a rooftop show with Desert Noises and the Moth and the Flame, played risk and didn't care that I was the first one out, saw Thrice play with some awesome people, met some new people( you know who you are) and finally beat Ryan Rios at super smash bros. twice in a row. That is blog-worthy to me. I took Buela(my car) on her first road trip to CA from Utah to make it for my man Patrick Porras' reception/ring ceremony. She didn't have cruise control or good A/C, but I managed just fine. She's definitely a keeperrrr. So, now that i'm in California, i've been to the beach of course, and spent lots of time with friends, and with family as well. My nieces and nephews are getting too big.....


     The reason my title is what it is, is because originally while I was in Honduras this last couple of months I really thought that I needed to come home and get my associates, not pay for rent, go to the beach and disneyland a little more often, see my family more often than NOT. I even enrolled for fall semester at RCC. But, since i've been home the feelings and desires for that have changed. Not that any of those things are good choices, but I think that staying in Utah and fighting for the things I want in life will help me out a little more in the long run. I mean, what would I do without fry sauce, wannabe hipsters dressing up super fancy yet not "caring" what they look like, and zoobies with their jeans and running shoes. Did I mention terrible construction/traffic/drivers? Whatever the reason is that we(people raised out of UT) complain about how "horrible" it is there, we're all there still......so i'm gonna stop complaining about it at least. I'm happy where I am and hope to see things progress in my life through the next few months! Who knows when i'll put another entry in, because I really don't haha. So until then, what would a blog be without a cheesy motivational/inspirational quote??Hope you've enjoyed reading.
