The heart breaking, disappointing, up and down, game of life.

Life is just ridiculous sometimes. I love my life, but sometimes it just doesn't make me happy. I had a recent change of events happen to me lately. I was with a boy, but now I am not. I was really mad for like a day, but then just decided to get over it! I felt like I had the right to be mad. So I was. But now I am over it. But the good news is that I now have two jobs! Count them... TWO!!! It is really awesome! I work for the UNC Catering services and Little Caesars! I haven't started Little Caesars yet, but Catering is really fun! I am having a fun time working hard! Well that is just some of what is going on with me for now! Just a quick update! Oh and I have some people I want to say that I love soooo much! They are pretty much my life savers! Jill... amazing! Aubrey... amazing! Kevin... amazing! Mom... amazing! Haha!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Oh yeah and I am going to see New Moon with Jill tomorrow! Soooooo excited! Can't even wait!

We thought she was a black girl!!!

So tonight was the first UNC Bears Boys Basketball game! My boyfriend Hauns is on the team! So obviously I went to see him play! Not only did I watch him play but I sang the National Anthem for the game! I was really nervous... but in the end it was pretty great! The team was standing there and they all cheered for me when I was done. So after the game my friend Yahosh, who is also a member of the church and on the team, told me that some of the guys were talking about my singing. I guess they were like, "Oh that is Hauns' girl???? She sounds like a black girl!" I am sure they said this because I did a couple of runs in the song... not like crazy ones... just threw in some fun stuff (mostly because Hauns really likes it when I do that stuff!) haha So I have come to the conclusion that if you just close your eyes and listen to me sing I am a black girl! Haha Crazy boys! My friend Jill was saying I try and tone down my blackness... which is why I look white! Haha sooooo great!

Anyway, the boys won! It was like 111 to 58 or something. We played Western State. They had some pretty good players. They had this guy who was like hitting every single 3 pointer he would shoot. That was in the first half... in the second half I don't think he made one! Sad day! We also discovered the crush of the week! Jill had a crush on one of the boys on the other team! Haha But our guys played really well! Hauns went in at the end of the first half! He didn't score any points. But in the second half he played quite a bit. He scored 5 points, had some pretty sweet rebounds, and just hussled in general! I am sure as time goes by he will get more playing time in the future! But he did so well, I am very proud of him! It was his first game in like two years. He just recently got back from a mission in Taiwan. So he did well for not playing a game in long time! I loved watching him play and I can't wait for another home game!

And just to throw this out there... Michael Buble's new CD is pretty freaking amazing! I love it! LIsten to it if you know what is good for you! My favorite song is "Haven't Met You Yet"! Sooooo good! Watch the music video! You will love it!

Impatience is not a virtue......

Still waiting.

To Be, Or Not To Be....

"'To be, or not to be? That is the question...'

But Shakespeare was wrong.

Knowing that I am a child of God, what need I do

and be to live up to this potential... That is the question!"

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

So there was a CES Fireside on Sunday night. It was such an amazing talk. President Uchtdorf is such a great speaker. He is so filled with love. His talk was filled with just about everything I needed to hear! I love my gospel so much! I can't get enough of it. I want to read the talks given by the Apostles of the Lord all the time. I love hearing their words. I love reading the scriptures. It brings me such great comfort to just sit and read what my Savior has to say to me. I love it. I love the feelings of happiness that never cease to fill my heart when I am seeking after the word of God. I love how loving and gentle our Prophets are. They are so hopeful about every subject they touch on. Love is a large part of my core being. I thrive off of love, the feelings that love brings, the warmness of feeling loved and wanted, and cared for. President Uchtdorf talked about being happy and finding joy in our lives. I have heard it again and again. We can choose to be happy. Our Father in Heaven wants us to be happy, and we can ultimately choose that happiness. That is something that I am still working on in my life. I love to be happy, but sometimes it just doesn't seem like the easy thing to do. But as some of us heard in the talk on Sunday night, we can all choose to be happy. There it was again... choice... agency. I love this gospel of hope and love.
