Time

Hello world!
This is just a little blurb about my life as of right now. I realize that I'm several months behind on my postings. I like to post my pictures on here. I think of my blog as a memory book for my pictures with random thoughts thrown in as well. So when I have TIME, I'll get my pictures up here of the last few months.

TIME.

That's the key. Time has been on my mind for over a year now. Time is funny, especially when you're waiting for something. Time goes by so fast when you're having fun and staying busy. Time goes so slow when you're looking forward to something or when you're bored. It can escape you and at the same time, weigh on you.

I tend to look back on my life. I'm always thinking, "a year ago today, I was...." and I'm always baffled that it's already been a year.

In about 2 weeks, it will be a year since we moved to our new house in Holt, Missouri. Wow. So much has happened.

I worked full time at MDS for 4 months. Then I spent 3 months at home. I painted, attended the best singles ward, and spent time with my family.

It's been 5 months since I moved to Utah. I can't believe I've been here that long already. It doesn't feel like that long at all which is why I haven't posted. I haven't realized how long it's been. I go about my days, from one plan to the next. Work, Institute, meetings, plans with my family, activities, dinners, game nights, temple visits, the holidays....it's kept me so busy.

Now it's 2011. I'm 21 years old and I live with my grandparents in Riverton, Utah in their basement. I attend their ward. The only friends I have here are my family. My cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents have become some of my best friends and I love being around them. I am the co-president of my Institute class. I'm a nanny for a wonderful family in Bluffdale and absolutely love it. I look forward to going to work which hasn't happened in a long time. I index 100 names a day on the Family Search website. I attend the temple once a week. I try to read but usually end up watching T.V. shows and movies online every night.

I love my life. I love the things that I spend my TIME doing right now. They bring me joy. And at the end of each day, I'm so excited that one more day is gone. I'm always one more day closer to the thing I'm waiting for....the thing I know is coming and can't wait for. In a way, time goes by slow for me. But I have been so blessed with a wonderful life and wonderful things to do right now to help make it go faster. This wait seemed discouraging at first, but it's almost over.

Anyway, that's my life as of January 2011. This is going to be a great year! I guarentee it!!
