Oh the Stress

This time of year brings lots of things to do and this year it has multiplied more than ever before! There is always something going on, it is Ballroom Competition season, almost time for the Accapella tour, I am working on college things, seminary council is keeping me busy, among many many other things. Sometimes the stress feels a little overwhelming but the thing that gives me the boost I need to get through the week is Temple Thursday! I look forward to being able to feel that spirit and do that work every week and it has really blessed my life and strengthened my testimony! I know that God will help me through anything if I just call on His name and draw near to Him! God loves me and this is the true church!

Planning for the Future

Because of the fact that I am coming towards the end of my senior year I thought maybe it would be important to do some planning on what I should do when I graduate. It seemed like all my plans for college kept on falling through so I came up with an alternate plan.... maybe college isn't right for April. So I prayed about it and I discussed it with many older and wiser people and I figured out that if I didn't go I would regret it. So I signed myself up for UVSC and I'm going to college! I am going into Early Childhood Education, its an Associates degree and I am very excited! I figure that no matter what it won't be a waste of time if I go into this because this is information I can use when I'm raising a family.... that is assuming I get married someday..... I have to admit I'm a little scared that I will get lost on campus but I'm expecting help with this from David and Brian being as they will be going there as well. There are a lot of emotions going on right now, excitement, fear, anxiousness...... but I think I can handle it!

End of term 2


The term and semester are ending and each day I am getting closer to graduation! End of term is always a stressful time but I'm getting through it and I only have two tests left! As you know we have had the flu running through the house and mom has it once again and I just pray that I don't get it, I can't handle being sick right now because there are places to go and things to do! This afternoon I spent my time working on Biology making a pedigree chart and let me tell ya, I am amazing, the Quickshimer family is one good lookin bunch!

Back to School I Go

Although I was reluctant to go back to school I am surviving with the thought of each day brings me that much closer to graduation! The week is almost over and then I can sleep in.... wait, no because I have ballroom practice at 6:30 A.M. on Saturday! YAY for being sleep deprived! Its worth it though because I love to dance. I have decided though that my ankle probably won't heal until the ballroom competition season is over, dancing on it tonight defenately made it worse but that is ok, I'm tough, I'm like a rock!

Happy New Year!

Last night was rockin awesome, whoever knew Paul could do such a good impression of the Arby's commercial or that David rocked at talking like an Old Black lady! And now Heidi has a whole collection of pictures she could use as blackmail against me! What a way to bring in 2008. This is going to be a good year! I will graduate form high school and move into the real world.... well at least get started in that direction!
