The life for me! DREAM BIG!

So on Saturday morning Mom, Ben, Maddie and I took a little road trip to Evanston Wyoming. I know random but Ben had found a table on KSL. Com that he wanted to buy. So we all packed into the truck and took a little road trip to check out this table. Evanston is only 78 miles away from our house so we were all up for the fun.

One thing we didn't expect was the breath taking beauty that was in store for us! OH GOODNESS! The table was at a ranch off of country road 157. We turned down the road and it promptly turned into a dirt dug way! The scene out our windows was amazing, we had a entered into a little ranch valley. In translation we had entered heaven!

When we arrived at the Sexton Ranch four miles down the road we were overwhelmed with the beauty of everything, and there in the middle of the yard was the table. (Which Ben promptly bought!)

I couldn't help but feel great delight at the ranch and the seclusion. And of course, like I have said previously, the beauty was enough to make a persons heart sing with joy!

So my dear friends, you ask "What, Helen, is the life for you?"

I have been thinking about this for quite some time now, I have always wanted to grow up become a cowgirl and own some property of my own. In the past year and a half I have let this dream rekindle! I really started to throw my upcoming idea around while coming home from a recent trip to Lake Powell. The drive down to Powell is almost as amazing as Powell itself...maybe! But there are some beautiful little ranches right up next to the road during that drive.

I have always thought that I would need to marry a man who had this same dream as me. But I have come to the conclusion that this is my dream and I want to make it happen! So I am going to graduate with my degree (which will consist of a degree in Special Ed and FCHD and a minor in Ag science.) Move to a small town and hopefully get a job at a local school and buy up some land. Not much just thirty acres or a little bit more and have my own little ranch.

I know to most of you are now thinking "Oh goodness Helen has really fallen of her rocker now!"
But I assure you that I know what I am getting myself into and I know it will be hard. But I have tasted a life where my dreams would not have been possible to come true. This is what I want. This is what I have always wanted. So this is what I am going to get!

Life is meant to be joyful! DREAM BIG!

SAY WHAT!

I feel as though I have been the worlds worst blogger lately so I am going to find something really really interesting to write about...about my life...which is not very interesting right now. Im sorry!

It was never in the plans for me to not have an interesting life. Oh boy! It's like after you turn 21 your fun level starts to go down hill.

OH! I know what I will complain about!

So financial aid is ridiculous! REALLY! who are they to tell me that I am not independent from my parents! For heaven's sake alive! I haven't been claimed by them since I was seventeen! I don't know what more they want from me! I am really at my wits with these people! There seems to be no way to charm my way with them! I am going to have to do major research and find out stuff! SAY WHAT! I know I am actually going to have to figure this out. There is no way I can continue going to school with out help...oh what to do what to do.

My current POA (Plan of action) is to call other institution in the state and find out their policy on independent status. I am also going to call the federal regulator...sigh.

So the whole point of this story is that the government says that they will help you and then they just jerk your chain.

Is this the beginning of my life with the government! IS THERE MORE TO COME?

IS THIS EVER GOING TO END!

IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE THIS FOREVER!

Oh boy, if this POA dosn't work my next one is to continue to pray really really hard and have faith! At least then I know the out come will be what needs to be..

Until next time...

oh goodness sunshine!

So have you ever noticed that when the sun is shinning it is just a better day! I love being able to walk up to campus in just a sweater! I love the sun!

So I haven't done a post in a really long time...we will do a quick synopsis of what my life has consisted of recently.

1-I have worn my Chaco's to school almost every day this month! It has been so amazing!
2-Started to date someone.
3-Broke up with someone
4-Realized that being single is amazing!
5-Reestablished my love of cheese, Feta cheese on a spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing is so amazing! If you put olives and crasins and almonds in it you will be in heaven! I promise!
6-Do I have a sign on my head that says "PLEASE,PLEASE ASK ME OUT?!" Because I have been asked out more in the past two months than I have in my whole life...I must have a sign and I missed it.
7- Wickedness never was happiness...I have see a display of this in my life, through the examples of others, and I know for 100% that it is true! Oh thank heavens for the gospel!
8- As it turns out...walls do just jump out to get you!
9-KALAI! Oh man! he is so amazing! i love him to death! How have I lived in a world of music without him? Go and check him out if you haven't ever heard of him!
10- I am so ready for this semester to be over! Why is it that spring semester seems like it is so much longer than fall?! UGH!
All is well that ends well.

QUICK!

Just a real quick up date...

Life is good.

School is good, if not a little stressful, I shouldn't procrastinate half as much as I do.

The fam is good. How blessed am I?

My new apartment is amazing More than amazing! I love my roommates!

My ward is the best ward on the face of the planet! I love the people and the bishopric!

I love to snow board! More than anything! I forgot how much I love it!

All my friends are great! So so great! I am so happy that I have such amazing people in my life!

And yes last but not least ladies and gentlemen, even boys are good...

So let this stew in your brains for a while...more to come at later date in time... :)

Ummmm...I got nuthin'

So I haven't written a blog for a while...this is due to the fact that I have really had nothing to say as of late...there are a couple of things that I have seen recently that I have found very very funny...I shall make a list of them...
1) Roommate pictures on campus...I find this so lame. What bugs me even more is that it is always the girls who are like the cheerleader types. How is it that they all end up meeting each other and then living together? It must be a disease! Ugh!
2)Facebook is taking over the world! Everyone is always on it! Including me! It can't seem to break the habit! I think it is of the Devil! Help me! I know that Facebook is a Disease, and I have it!
3)What is up with the couples in the Junniper lounge! oh my gosh! I know they are taking over the world! I go in there to take a nap and all of the couches are being Monopolized by couples! And they are all over each other! Oh man!
4) It must be murphy's law that I am always first Loser! Ha! Just kidding, but really every time there is always someone else who is just a little bit better than me in ever aspect who wins...you know what I am talking about if you talk to me on a regular basis.

There shall be more to come, I have to jet off to class! AHHHHHH! (That is me jetting away!)

5) Have you ever been walking behind someone and they totally fart! This just happened to me as I was jetting to class! Oh man it was super stinky but I couldn't help but laugh a little bit! How old am I again?

6) YAY for "Wicked"! I love this Musical. It is my favorite and I am sure that I have driven my Roommates insane by now. I listen to it all of the time! The best part of all of this is that I think they are starting to like it to! So now we go around singing songs from "Wicked" To each other all of the time!

7) Oh the joys of Kilby Court! I had the amazing opportunity to go there on Valentines ( this shall have it's own bullet) with one of my best friends Christina and...the verdict is! Love isn't all bad. I have restored hope and faith in it! It took long enough! Man!

8)Valentines day is over rated. I obviously don't think that love is I just think that Valentines day is out there. Really, I don't want a stuffed bear shoved in a balloon. No thank you! I don't want chocolates, I just want a none commercialized holiday about love...what ever happened to door bell ditching valentine cards on peoples door step. Do people still do that? I loved that! I think I might go and do that some time later in the month!

Well, to all of you who ever bother to read this (Is there anyone out there?!) I don't want to exhaust my resources and im sure this is a billion miles long...So I will save some material for later.

The world has gone MAD!

So the other day I was in a gigantic hurry, I had to be somewhere at a specific time and I was running late. It was at this point in time when I realized that I still had to run to Wal-Mart to pick something up. I was really not happy about this but I knew that I had to do it. So I throw on some socks and shoes and grab my purse and I run out of the house. I was thinking that I could be there and back to my apartment in like 20 min. This my dear friends was a giant mistake! I get in my car and every horrible driver is on the road and they are all in front of me! I swear they were going 10 under the speed limit. They must have all been looking for a specific address or something. Not to mention the stop sign at 6th and 10th, what civil engineer planed that out! It is so horrible, people put on there blinker when they are going straight and then don't when they are turning. and for whatever reason I don't think the citizens of Logan have figured out that even if you got there after the person to your side you can go straight at the same time as the person across from you! I know it is a novel idea! 

So I get to Wal-Mart and honestly everyone was stopping like every ten seconds! looking at something or just stopping to talk in the middle of the aisle, could they not tell I was in a hurry.

So I, I finally get out of Wal-Mart and back into my car and I drive home, (once again following someone who was maybe lost.)

The moral of the story is, you can't go to Wal-Mart and be fast. It doesn't matter how fast you are going the people ahead of you will always have all the time in the world. This will of course drive you insane! But it's a rule of life and it has to happen.
