My thoughts exactly, ha!

Happy 2014! I cannot believe it's 2014 already... It's too soon. 2014 almost sound futuristic to me?! However, I have been waiting for this year for awhile now mainly because this is the year I get to serve the Lord! Only 86 more days and I will be able to start my papers. That's in a few months from now though, so what do I do with myself until then? Make a New Year's resolution of course!

Alright, admit it, we've all made a resolution before and have definitely not stuck with it. I am guilty of this, many times! This year though, I really want to get in shape for summer and before I leave for a year and a half. A friend of mine told me about this crazy (I hate this word, I really do, just think of it more along the lines of "healthy" ok, here it comes) ....diet. It's called the 'Paleo Diet' also referred to as the 'Caveman Diet'. In another words, if a caveman couldn't eat it, neither can you. So mainly only fruits, veggies, and meats. Absolutely no grain, dairy, or sweets. Fun right? To make matters even worse, they expect you to workout on top of this. HA! Well, I'm not going to lie, it isn't easy! I am on day three and haven't cheated once. (Which is huge considering I have a serious addiction to anything sweet, especially chocolate.) I have been keeping track of my body fat percentage and my weight, although mainly, I just want to be healthy and get toned. Haha, I don't care so much about numbers. I am planning on updating my progress on the blog. Plus, I've always wanted a before and after picture!

BIG changes are going to be coming this year and I am so excited for what's in store!

Well, we did it!

I have officially graduated from Skyline High, class of 2013. High school treated me well but it was time to get out and move onto bigger and better things!

A special thank you to this woman for always having faith in me!

Love you momma. <3 span="">

Then summer came and went... too fast for my taste, but it was hands down thee best summer of my life. I had the opportunity to go on a humanitarian trip to the Philippines for a month and the experience changed my life. I went with an organization called Reaching Out Worldwide (ROW) and we taught 4th, 5th, and 6th graders, built sinks, a cafeteria, gardens, and a pond. Filipinos are so sincere and hard working. The people of Antique have touched my hearts more than I could've ever imagines and will be remembered forever. I cannot express enough how much good Reaching Out Worldwide does. It blesses the people back at home in Utah; by having us do community service and doing creative things to fundraise in order to make this trip possible. It blesses the people of Antique; the community has been more than helpful and you can see in their eyes how truly grateful they are. Last but not least, it blesses my own life. I have learned what hard work truly is, that service makes a life changing impact, and that I can make the best of friends worldwide. Mabuhay!

After applying to the University of Utah three times, I finally did it correctly and got my acceptance letter! Phew! I started at the U this fall and have been having the time of my life. I have (as of now) decided that I want to major in business and go to dental school to become either a general dentist or an orthodontist.

I was very involved in high school, and with cheer now in my past I needed a way to continue doing something I loved now at the University. So, I went Greek. Delta Gamma to be exact! Ever since I stepped foot inside the Deeg I knew it was a place I could call home. There is a good variety of girls in the house and I have learned to love each and every single one of them. I didn't grow up with any sisters, but suddenly now I have 120 of them! My pledge class is awesome and I cannot wait for all the memories to come in next few years! ITB<3 font="">
