what am I thankful for?

well, I know its been a while since I posted, and I know that thanksgiving was a little under a week ago, but I've been wanting to post this for a while, but I kept putting it off because I didn't want to forget anything or anyone, so here it goes!

1. I'm so thankful for my parents. they are pretty much the best and I do miss them a lot when I'm here at school. they have always been so supportive of me, and I miss having them around. It was so great being home and seeing them.
2. Im thankful that I was able to take two of my best friends to college with me. Alex and Seth mean so much to me, and I was never too scared to go to college because I knew that no matter what I would have them to share this whole crazy adventure with. I've been thinking lately how very lucky I am to have a twin brother. Alex is one of my best friends in the whole world, and I keep remembering how close this summer is getting, and that hes going to be leaving on his mission. I am so so excited for him, but its a little sad too
3. Im thankful for my amazing roommate Kelsey!!! shes so great, and we get along so well. I definitely missed her during thanksgiving break
4. Im thankful for Taylor 1200. these girls are pretty much the greatest in the world, and there are no people I would rather be living with. 
5. Im thankful for all of the friends I left back home. being able to see them this past week was so amazing, I dont think I realized just how much I missed them. hanging out with them just made me feel at home...I really cant wait for Christmas break.
6. im thankful for my extended family, i love living closer to some of my aunts and uncles here in utah, and I really miss the whole cook side of the family that I left in California.

so as far as an update on how I am goes, Im doing great. Im really happy and life is completely awesome. its far from perfect, and I still get stressed out about work and terrified of the future. but despite that I am at a great point in my life

loving college

hey!! so I know its been a while, but I guess Ive been busy. I love college, like I love it SO much. Somehow I was SO blessed and ended up with the greatest roommate, hall, and ward imaginable. coming back to my hall every day feels like coming home, and i feel like all the girls on my floor are my family here at BYU and I love them so much!

so there are a few exciting things that have been going on with me. the first is that I learned some really interesting information about the Disney College program which I really want to do at some point during my college career. for a whole semester you get to work in Disney World, live there, you get to hang out in the parks in your free time, and its a paid internship. depending on what I get assigned to do, it could be some really great work experience.

second, I'm going to be in a student film. a whole bunch of films students are making short movies as part of a class, and im going to be in a pretty funny one about a guy trying to get a date and getting rejected over and over. I'm just one of the girls who rejects him in the middle of the few minute film, which means ill probably be in 15 seconds of the finished product, but it was super fun to do, and we are going to film the whole thing over again for the final draft or something, not really sure why, but its going to be fun!

third, I just had an awesome day. I spent an hour and a half in the costume shop, helping out with the costumes for the musical coming up and I had a really awesome conversation with my theater teacher, Janet. shes a really cool person and we had a great conversation about theater, and what I want to do. She was so encouraging and kind, plus shes my faculty adviser so I'll be getting to know her better. It was just a really cool experience.

well, thats it for now, but Im loving college so much!
