A million miles a minute and still going faster and faster.

I feel like life is going a million miles a minute right now. Things are going extremely fast. It seems like every time I look around something in life is changing. I hate that feeling yet love it. I only have one week of work left and then I'm off to Idaho to help Becky move to Washington. On the way to Idaho Falls I have a lay over in Denver Colorado so I'm taking a HUGE step and I asked my dad if we could go to dinner or something. We'll see how that goes. It will either be really fun or absolute torture. Once I get there I'll help Becky pack and then we'll go to Washington. After that we'll come back to my house and hang out for awhile where I will then be preparing to move to Hawaii. There is so much I feel like I have to fit into my schedule and yet I feel like I'm standing still watching everything fly by me at a ridiculous rate of speed. Is that even possible?

On a lighter note, I got new glasses! They are purple with orange on the inside of the frame. They look pretty good. I'm still getting used to them. I think that I will like them a lot more when I can actually see out of them. It has been a long time since I got new glasses and my prescription has changed quite a bit. Here are some pictures of them:
What do you think? Do I look more mature yet sophisticated? I have no idea. Anyways, that's all for now. Keep reading and leave me comments!

Politics and such.

So I have been thinking lately a lot about politics. Who I am going to vote for is a huge decision to me. The President of the United States get to make a lot of decisions for us. Along with those decisions, the President sets the budget and helps decide Congress's agenda for the next four years. So it comes down to one question: Who am I going to vote for and why?

I thought about this long and hard and I am not ashamed to say that I am voting for Barack Obama. I have read and listened to what he has to say and I like it. He is religious and family oriented. He can bring great change to our country. Before this presidential race I was a strong Republican. I was even a strong Republican when Mitt Romney was running. However, I can not and will not vote for John McCain.

I'm sure you're wondering why. Well let me tell you. My father and his wife are friends with John McCain (seriously!). My father's wife is heading McCain's campaign up in Colorado. She is apparently really into politics and such. Anyways, I know their character. They have lied to me and my sister repeatedly. My father lied in court to a judge. My dad's friend who was his divorce lawyer has lied for my dad. I know the type of people my father associates himself with and they are people who have no good character. However, these people are GREAT at putting up a false front. They look honest and trustworthy and then you get them into positions of power and they lie, cheat, and steal their way to the top. So that is why I can not and will not vote for McCain. I realize that I am judging someone I have never met but I know who my father chooses to associate himself with. So, before you vote for McCain, please think deeply, long, and hard about your choice. Is he as trustworthy as you think? Maybe he is but chances are he isn't.

I know that politics is a backstabbing lying game but it doesn't have to be. We can choose to stop putting people of bad character into positions of authority.

Another Day, Another Dollar, and a broken finger.

So it has been awhile since I have written on here. Not so good for me. Anyways, for those of you who don't know, I have been working at Petsmart for the last month. Now, unfortunately, I am going to have to quit. This makes me extremely sad because this is the first job I have actually liked. I know you're probably thinking that I'm psycho for liking a job in the wonderful retail world but I'm not. I have made some amazing friends from working there. Also, I get PAID to pet and greet, and play with dogs, kitties, goats, rabbits--whatever may come through the door. That is a dream job for me because I LOVE animals. However, I am moving on to bigger and better times in my life so leaving my job makes everything worth it.

Now, onto the broken finger. If you have a weak stomache I suggest avoiding this part. A few weeks ago, my sister and I were horsing around in our backyard. Then I knew that she was going to spray me with the hose. So, to avoid getting cold and wet I tried to run inside. In the process of that, I lost my balance and grabbed the door jamb to catch myself. It wasn't a very good idea. At the exact time I grabbed the door jamb, my sister slammed the sliding glass door shut. As you can probably guess, my hand was in the way of the door. At first I was shocked. I didn't know what happened. Then I looked at my hand, saw the blood and my brain registered the pain. Let's just say that I have NEVER screamed so loud in my life. I started hyperventilating and crying. My mom came running and grabbed me and put my bleeding finger under cold running water. It took at least 2 hours to get my finger to stop bleeding. We thought we would have to go to the emergency room but my mom convinced me that I'd be alright. Instead I got a blessing and then had our family friend who is an EMT come and look at it. The blessing didn't help much except for calming me down. That's alright though. After about two weeks, I decided that I probably should get my finger looked at and the doctor took x-rays and said that it was cracked in 3 places. None of the cracks are on a joint though so that is good. They are located on the tip of my right hand ring finger. It hasn't been a plesant experience but I have been managing. If you must know, I have actually been pretty excited about the fact that I have broken my first bone. It's kinda cool.

On August 21st I will be embarking on a new journey. I will be transferring to BYU Hawaii!! I can hardly wait. Everything is in place and ready to go. I am especially anxious to make it down there. I am nervous but I know I'll love it!
