Boring...

So I like my blog so i am going to make my new domain name helens-hysteria.blogspot.com
then people won't really be confused. I will also update it on my facebook, so you will always be able to get to the right place through that link. I should be writing a paper right now but im not...ugh. I am slowly wasting time.

Jesus wants me for sunbeam!

Oh goodness the sun has been shining in Logan since last Friday and it has made me so so happy!
I feel like a sunbeam! I can't stop smiling! (Oh goodness, it's not like I don't smile enough already!) Despite the still freezing temperatures it is so amazing up her to the north! Although I am anticipating my fingers and toes to fall off at any given moment!

So, this semester has been the busiest for me since my Freshman year. I have kinda been taking it easy for a while trying to situate my life back into some sort of normalcy. I am taking a whole 15 credit hours and loving it! I love being busy! I feel so cool? Ummm...for the lack of a better word. I am looking forward to spring break though! Maybe I will be able to play a little catch up. That would be nice. I am taking a nutrition class this semester and I think it is my favorite class. Although all sorts of foods have been ruined for me. Did you know that RITZ crackers have partially hydrogenated veggie oils in them! I know it is a sad sad truth! Don't cry too much over it I already have!

This is an important announcement for everyone who reads my blog (are there people out there who do still?) I am changing my blog! I am sick of not being able to change anything on it! I need an update! Seriously! So I will chose a new name and let you all know!

Back to the grind! Help Im being crushed!

Back to the grind of things! YAY! I feel like I am already behind! I really am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to go to school! Although I must admit I find it very stressful! It's okay the more classes I take a semester the closer I am to being done!

I just had a need to write. Im sitting here in the library. I just read my first lecture for my interior design class. Now, I don't think that I am perfect; and heavens knows that I make a lot of mistakes when I write...but if I were going to be teaching a class, even if it were an online class i would for sure make sure that it was grammatically correct! Oh goodness! It was all I could do to go all the way through the power point!

I am trying to think if I have any entertaining stories for you all. I slipped and fell yesterday, I wish that someone had had a video camera! I think my finger might be broken, but who knows? I am typing right now so it can't be too bad! Ummm...you know the same old same old. Trying to survive life in freezing temperatures up here! Oh boy!

So I have recently re-found a quote by Og Mandino. Who is just great I think! But it talks bout being yourself and accepting who you are

"you cannot choose your calling. Your calling chooses you. You have been blessed with special skills that are yours alone. Use them, whatever they may be, and forget about wearing another's hat. A talented chariot driver can win gold and renown with his skills. Let him pick figs and he would starve."

Be you! I love it! it's as true today as it was then! lol! I love you all! have an amazing rest of the week!

Nasty Rumors!

So the other day at my family party I was talking to my great aunt Jackie. I gave her a hug and told her I loved her.

She replied with " Don't worry about boys and not being married. You can get married clear up to thirty-five!"

I promptly replied " Well, you know aunt Jackie I heard a nasty rumor that people can even get married after thirty five!"

She looked at me like I was crazy. I just laughed!

I hope you are all doing well! I know I haven't written for a while. This is my recent update for all of you! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Love you all!

What on Earth is going on?!

okay this is going to be really quick because I have to go a pretend study for a Math test. Sigh...I really dislike math.

HELP!
So, I am not computer illiterate. I am really quite good. But I can no longer find where to change my blog spot background. Or how to add people to my list! WHAT IS GOING ON! If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated! I am so lost!

The "Im thankful for" game.

I love this game! Every time I feel down and out my roommate's and I will play or Mom and I will play. It is a sure fire way to get rid of the blues! How blessed we all are! We are loved and no matter what happens everything will come out okay! "Your future is as bright as your faith!" Pres. Monson!

You play by taking turns telling things your are grateful for. Eventually you will realize that everything in your life is amazing!

These are pictures from the surprise party we threw for Britt and the amazing cake I made for her! :)

Crazy, crazy, crazy!

Oh my goodness! Where has the time gone! I feel as though my weeks have been just jammed packed with so many things! One of these being math...it is such a time sucker! I feel all mathed out and it is only the third week of school! Oh boy.

This past week I had the marvelous opportunity to have two amazing adventures! I hiked White pine lake and Mt. Naomi! They were both marvelous! I wanted to share my joy of them with you so I have posted pictures! GO TEAM!

Mount Naomi!

Me at the top...it was very windy and kinda cold. I sure was glad I had brought a sweater! The view was amazing!
HA ha....this is a picture looking out over what we hiked across. You start at Tony's grove and hike 3.3 Miles up to get to the ridge line, so 6.6 miles in all. It was pretty awesome and it only took us about three and a half hours round trip.

Go team! Ha ha! not the very top but I wanted a picture of me at least close. I could stand up at the top without feeling scared of being blown off the cliff...so I settled for this picture instead.

White Pine!

This sign is welcoming us to our national forest and telling us how to wash our hands and dispose of our waste. I thought it was very cool and informative. So I took a picture by it!

AMAZING! It was so beautiful! I loved it! And yes this gorgeous picture was taken with the self timer on my camera. I just discovered that it had one!

I bonded with this dandelion! I also had a ton of fun blowing the seeds everywhere!

Ahhh...the lake! It was awesome and the local beaver put on a show for us by splashing his tail! IT was so cool! Another self timer picture. I am getting good at this game!

Okay and last but not least. I had set a goal for myself at the beginning of the summer that I was going to run a 5K. And I did! YAY! I ran the whole way and I did it in 32 min. Next stop the Wasatch Back baby! I am so excited! YAY! I really am going to do it!

I hope you all know that we are loved and the Lord created this all for us. Each time I do something new I am reminded of his love for each and everyone of us. How awesome is it that we have the opportunity to go and explore this world he gave us!? And how amazing is it that we have bodies that can adapt so quickly to pretty much anything we want it to! I know I am loved! And I know that I can always ask for help when I need it and he will find a way to be there for me! Have an amazing week everyone! I will try to post again soon!
