"For after much tribulation come the blessings." -D&C 58:4

Wow. It has been a while. Sorry Twitterverse, I suck. But you know what that means...

TIME FOR AN UPDATE

• This summer was rough. I didn't save near as much money as I would have liked. And I was kind of an emotional wreck... But I think I've told you about that before.
• August came and brought with it a NEW ROOMMATE! Actually, I've roomed with Cassie before, but this time is different. Cass and I were roommates in 2011... and it was bad. We hated each other. However, we have grown, we have matured, and we have been spiritually changed through the Gospel. It's amazing what Heavenly Father can do with two college girls. I love living with Cassie (although sometimes I don't see her for days and days!)
• Every Sunday this summer, I had the opportunity to go sing hymns with some of my friends from Unison choir. This gave me far more blessings than I ever could have imagined!!! In 30-45 minutes, we were able to feel the Spirit so strongly! Some highlights from that: When walkers or bike riders would sing with us, when I would discover a new favorite hymn, or when I was able to make some great friends. I loved tunnel singing so much. 
• I am finally a SENIOR! #SoStoked. However, this year isn't all it's cracked up to be...

 I AM DYING

• I am working in two different high schools, Eagle High and Meridian High, and I love it!!! I love working with the kids, and I look forward to the day when I start teaching them lessons!
• I also hate my internships. I AM DRIVING SO MUCH. Sometimes I drive almost two hours total in a single day... without any pay or compensation for gas. Which means...

I AM SO POOR

• I don't know if I've ever been this poor. It is terrible. I miss food. Luckily, my mom is coming to visit and help me a bit!!!
• I haven't seen my family since July 31st... I miss them so much!
• My classes are tough, but not too bad... the only bad thing is that I have SO MUCH WORK and SO MUCH READING for them... bleh.

I have two things left:

First: I love UNISON choir. I can't express my love for my choir any more than simply saying that I love my choir. I feel the spirit so strongly every day we practice or have a performance. I love being President because I get to work with our director one-on-one and he has become such an awesome influence in my life. And he has become a wonderful friend and mentor to me. I am very grateful for him. Because of my position, I have decided to take a step out of my bubble and try to exemplify my position and calling to the best of my ability. I have met every person in my choir and tried to show my love for them in every interaction. I hope they know that our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ, love them and that they are always welcome into the fold. I love my family in choir :)

Second: Although I am stressed and busy beyond belief, I have been blessed with an incredible boyfriend who helps me through these rough times. He came into my life at an extremely inconvenient time... but I am so glad that he did. My life is so much happier with him in it :) I know my Heavenly Father is watching over me and that he has sent him to help me through this stress-ball of a life.

So that is my life. It will continue to change... it always does. I will try to procrastinate more and keep you updated more often! 

Until Next Time.
