Drive Safely PLEASE!!

For those of you who are traveling today or tomorrow or the rest of the week to be with family and friends for the upcoming Thanksgiving festivities, please drive and travel safely! Here in Utah we have a very crazy weather warning about this blizzard that is supposed to be unprecedented. I read an article online and it scared me so bad! They have cancelled all our school activities-- all basketball games, practices, rehearsals, concerts and other events have been cancelled due to the storm.

I'm so worried!! :( But please have a lovely and safe weekend my friends!!

So thankful for you!!

Safe Travels!!!

Second Thoughts

I'm having second thoughts about my college choice, and it's causing me quite a bit of distress.

Confused

This is a post I'll only put here, but I'm just so confused as to why in the ONE WEEK that this here blog has been ripped of all previous posts, gadgets, etc. and only has 1 complete post and 2 links to 2 posts that can't be read by just anyone, has received the most traffic and new visitors (in one week!) than I can remember in the almost 3 years I have ever had this blog where more than half of that time was open to the public.

Maybe people just like reading titles of posts?

I'm not sure if I ever told you but this one blog (for you, mjc:) I read, oh.. one of the most incredible, happy, stylish women I know.. err.. kindof know- she writes on her blog about her seemingly fairytale life on the east coast with her cute husband and their adventures. I'm sure you faithful readers know who I am referring to since I know many of you have shared my enthusiasm about her postings and had your own lives enriched because of them as well.

I had been introduced to her blog by two friends in their foods class. Our foods teacher had made her wedding dress for her, and followed her blog. [I actually now remember my teacher showing me the blog once when I asked her about her side-wedding-dress-designing]  She often opened up her blog to play music for the class during cooking labs. After a while, my friends started listening to her music at home when they were doing homework. Then, they started reading the posts. They were hooked, and then I was too.

Anyways, my point is that earlier this year she declared she was going to put her blog on private! Oh no! What was I to do? Her blog was too beautiful and wonderful to give up. I had lived vicariously through it for almost a year! She asked readers for their email addresses so she could invite them. After days of turmoil, I finally revealed myself as a closet reader. It was difficult but I introduced myself as a teenager who she did not know, who had secretly stalked her blog for months. Wow- talk about embarrassing.

But, it ended up that about 60-70 people were also in the same situation as me, so it didn't turn out that bad. She kept her blog open for us to enjoy, and I thoroughly appreciate it.

I'm not sure what that had to do with anything, but I would sure love if you would let me know if you'd like to read more, even if I don't know you. Please leave your own blog addresses as well! I would love to check them out! I have made some wonderful friendships and strengthened relationships through blogging. Like I always say, blogging is a blessing!

Hope you had a great weekend, and hope to hear from  you soon!

General Authorities in my Seminary Class?

Bad Day- Thankful Monday(?)

I was having an especially hard day today (not just for the one reason) so I knew I needed to do this post. I didn't do TT on my blog last week so I will make up for it today. I find that those times when I feel sad or mad; frustrated or upset- It always helps me to think of the things that I'm thankful for..
