GIRLS NIGHT

Thug Swag

Last Friday, all my roommates and I went to Salt Lake City. We went shopping at the City Creek Mall. That mall just blows my mind. It is so pretty and the stores are so big and full of pretty things that I can't afford. BUT I did get an $8 scarf at H&M! And please enjoy these fine looking hats that Laurie and I found. ---->
And to top it off, we had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory! Mind. Blown. Seriously it was AMAZING! My life has been changed. Not to mention the fact that we had an awkwardly cute waiter. Don't you love those kind? To end the night off, we watched a wonderful chick flick and basked in the gorgeousness of Zac Efron.

Saturday was full of tests and studying, but we ended the night right by going to the BYU vs. Mesa basketball game. Oh, and wouldn't you know, another chick flick featuring Channing Tatum.

Today has been one of those days, you know the kind, where it seems like everyone's goal in life is to make you mad. And you know you shouldn't be mad, cuz most of it is just a bunch of little things that don't even matter, and normally wouldn't bug you. But I promised myself I'd never complain on this blog, so I'll just tell you the positive things. Today my academic adviser tried to talk me out of doing a political science minor and tried to get me to do a minor that involves teaching kids whose first language isn't English. Basically he just discouraged my idea because he didn't think I'd be very successful. I'm sorry, I will now do the political science minor. I will prove you wrong. I will be successful. I am going to be a great teacher. I am going to make a difference. I am going to fall in love one day. I am going to be a great wife and mother. (That was positive, even though somewhat sassy....right??) I've struggled a lot this semester with doubts and fear about my future, but even today when I was in a bad mood, and not necessarily in a spiritual mindset, Heavenly Father blessed me with reassurance. I know that everything is going to work out when I trust God. I will let Him take care of me, because I know that He knows exactly what I need when I need it. When I let Him into my life, I know that my life will become more that it ever can be without Him. I know that I don't need fear to govern my life, only faith in God.  I don't know how I would have survived this day without this scripture: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 I know that this is true and it gives me so much comfort to know that my Heavenly Father will take care of me and that when I put my trust in God that I will be successful, no matter what happens in life.

Sorry for all the venting. Life is truly beautiful and I am incredibly blessed. I'm thankful for the minor struggles that I go through because they all bring me closer to God. Now, if you'll excuse me, I will now go listen to country music and drink hot chocolate.

Peace homies.
