I Used To...

I used to blog to avoid homework.  My blog was brought up in a conversation today, so I figured I'd check it out.  It's dead week and I have a ton of homework to do, but it seems fitting that I would blog instead of being productive.  

A lot has changed since I last blogged.  
I've served a mission for my Savior and Heavenly Father.

I'm a member of the Center for Politics at Southern Utah University.

I'm 21 whole years old.

I've been to two Temple Sealings.

I've played in a Turkey Bowl.  

I've flown on 7 planes in less than 30 days.

I've run a Ragnar Relay.

A bunch of other extremely random things have also happened.

and...I'm in love.  But that's a story for another, non-blogging time.  
[Mom, if you read this, don't freak out.]

I’m gonna walk a hundred miles
I’m gonna whistle all the while
If that’s what it takes to make me smile
I’m gonna walk a hundred miles 

I’m gonna run right up this hill
Summer sky or winter chill
If I gotta take a break I will
But I’m gonna run right up this hill 

I wanna hold the whole wide world
Right here in my open hands
Maybe I’m just a little girl
A little girl with great big plans 

I’m gonna go and take a chance
I’m gonna learn to ballet dance
Learn a little something ‘bout romance
I’m gonna go and take a chance 

I’m gonna live a crazy dream
Impossible as it may seem
Doesn’t matter what the future brings
I’m gonna live a crazy dream 

[Chorus]

You tell me, “don’t try it”
I’m warning you that I won’t buy it
All failure is fleeting
I trust it always has its meaning 

Thanks for writing my new favorite song Mindy!

I am:

-One happy chica.
-Grateful to be a daughter of loving earthly parents and Heavenly Parents.
-A lover of running.
-An adventurer.
-A counter of hours. (In a great way!)
