Day #36: A deep thought I felt really great about...

One of my friends had a facebook status talking about how he hates it when people order food and say "I need a Big Mac and a large fry." because they don't actually need it.  He said that we need water and air, but that we just want those things.  I understand the point that he was trying to make... but I don't think I completely agree.

So this is what I said:
"not to play devil's advocate or anything... but i think it all depends on the context of how you are using the word "need". Because honestly, you don't "need" water or air to die... but you do "need" them to live. You may not "need" a big mac and a large fry to live... but you might "need" them to satisfy a craving that you're having at the time. Catch my drift? (:
just a little food for thought. (;
{pun intended. pun achieved.}"
I mean am I right?
What we need is really determined by what we need said object FOR.

I'm just sayin'.

Just let that simmer for a while.

Day #35: Living the Dream.

...... did i really just send in my byu jerusalem application...............

i've been thinking about this for months. and now i actually did it.

it almost gives me chills.

my mom always told us we had big dreams, but that we had to actually make them happen. whether or not i actually get to go is still to be decided, but it still feels amazing to at least be making the effort to do something i've dreamed of doing and been working towards. ♥

life's pretty amazing you know?

Day #34: Human Orbits.

"The same God that placed that star in a precise orbit millenia before it appeared over Bethlehem in celebration of the birth of the Babe has given at least equal attention to placement of each of us in precise human orbits so that we may, if we will, illuminate the landscape of our individual lives, so that our light may not only lead others but warm them as well." ~ Neal A. Maxwell

Perfect <3

At the end of an era.

Makes me step back and take a look back.

I'm so grateful for all of these people and the influence they had on me.

I'm so grateful for the blessings, the joys, the tears, and the heartache that they brought into my life.

No matter where life takes us, I will always remember them and the impact they had on my life.

My children WILL know their names.

And I feel so blessed to have had them in the orbits of my life.

And I'm excited to see where this next era takes me.

And the people that I am blessed enough to be included in their human orbitals.

WE WILL BE REMEMBERED <3

Day #33: Meet the Room-ee-z

Considering we're over half-way through the semester, I figured it was about time to introduce you to the room-ee-z. <3

Pretty much... I just love these girls and living with them a whole awful bunch.

Really though.

They make me laugh.

They talk to me and ask me how my day and dates go.

It's nice to know when you come home that someone cares about how your day went.

And are adequately distracting when they need to be.

They listen to me vent and are protective.

We pray together, play together, and live together.

Meet Krista: She is our outdoors woman. Seriously though. She is awesome. Triathalon? No problem. Dutch oven cooking? no problem! Save your parking space? NO problem. She also goes a little crazy when given caffeine....

Meet Melissa: Melissa is almost done with school and is so sweet. She also loves game nights and is always willing to go out and have fun if something's going on.

Meet Rosie: She is the best whistler I've ever met. Srsly. It sounds like a princess (as does her voice). She also is in the marching band. We really like to laugh and talk and sing together. We also like to greet each other when we come home (;

Meet Allison: We are going to co-host a talk show. And she is one of the greatest traffic sources of my blog. She also loves "Children of Eden" which made us automatic friends. Also obsessed with BYU sports.

Meet Robyn: My room-roommate. She is such a great example to me.  She is so good at listening to and I love when she tells me her stories.  Robyn's enthusiasm for life is awesome and I just love her lots.

Meet Me: Kacy Jae. I'll let you decide what I'm like for yourself (;

Pretty much I'm just really blessed to have these girls in my life and as my roommates.  I love them lots and lots and I'm so excited to get to spend the rest of the year with them!

Day #32: Perpetually Allergic.

This is a post dedicated to my allergies.
Why?
Cause I looked like this today:

But I felt I like this:

You see, at some point I developed really awful allergies....
It used to be where I could just take medication that the doctor prescribed when they started acting up and it solved my problem
But then they came.

And wouldn't go away.

And then I went and worked at a daycare.
And got a sinus infection.
And had to go to the doctor's office about once a month over the summer.

Then he gave me a shot to help my allergies calm down.
And it worked. Seriously one of the best medical choices I've ever made.

Only problem is it is a temporary shot.

And now they're back.

The end.
Blech.
