It's finally hit me that 2012 is almost over.
It's officially November..
which means the Holiday Season is basically here.
Boy is it going by fast.
How on earth is this possible???
It feels as if the year barely begun yesterday.
I feel so unaccomplished.
The year can't end just yet!
I've barely traveled!!!
Even though my year wasn't as eventful as the last.
I can't really say it "sucked"
I can't really say it "sucked"
-Met some amazing people.
Not going to lie, I used to dislike attending the YSA's.
It was just uneventful and quite draggish.
Maybe I didn't like the whole "clique" thing it had going on.
Maybe I didn't like the whole "clique" thing it had going on.
But now it's taken a complete 360 degree turn.
Everyone is a lot more welcoming and extremely outgoing.
It has grown quite a bit too!
-Learned Life Lessons the HARD Way.
I've learned a valuable lesson recently. Choose your friends and acquaintances wisely.
I know the church counsels us regarding this matter.
They don't define who you are [ you define yourself],
but they do give others an image of who you are.
Wouldn't want to send the wrong idea now would we??
Also:
Family will always be there for you. Whether you make mistakes or not.
They'll stand by your side making sure you have support to rise again.
How many of your friends will stick around in both good and bad times?
-Reunited with Old Friends.
Most of the people I met my first Semester at BYUI left on their mission.
They're back now and catching up with them throughout this year has been such a blast.
So much has happened, and we've all changed so much.
-Family Reunion / Maria's Wedding.
Wow did we have A LOT of family in town for Maria's wedding.
I've come to the realization that my family can be a little crazy.
Now that I think of it,
Using the word "a little" would definitely be an understatement.
-Nauvoo.
This year I was able to visit Nauvoo, Illinois.
It was a YSA trip and I do NOT regret going.
I think this activity is what really got me to attend the Singles Ward.
I even got to do Temple Baptisms!!
May I just say that the stories we hear about this place,
are absolutely NOTHING compared to what it's really like.
The beauty, the Spirit and the absolutely love you feel here is absolutely overwhelming.
Not to mention the Nauvoo Pageant.
WOW!!!
That is seriously all I can say.
They have this small play where they explain what happened at Nauvoo
and it is SPECTACULAR!!
If you can go, I'd extremely advise you to do so.
MAJOR Side Note:
Elections occurred recently and I MUST say
I am EXTREMELY disappointed at how many of my friends are reacting.
Mitt Romney Supporters:
How can you say you support all leaders when you're bashing on the president??
So what if your candidate didn't win?
Let's face it, most of you voted for him because he was of your faith.
In all honesty, I believe 30% of you actually voted for him because you stood by his ideas.
Stop saying you're moving to another country.
WE are America. If you don't like where you live, then go out and do something about it.
In the words of Mahatma Gandhi:
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
Don't just sit around moping about the issues when YOU haven't tried to make a change.
Barack Obama Supporters:
Yes, yes your candidate won.
I'm sure we all watched the news.We're all aware of the results.
With that being said,
Winning does not give you the right to bash on the other candidate.
I know I know. "It's called politics"
Is that really an excuse to act in such a hateful and unprofessional manner?
It's extremely disrespectful and does not make you any better than the Romney supporters.
My friend Kolten said something very very wise.
"If you supported your candidate because of anything besides the issues, namely race and religion,
Shame on you!"
[ emphasis added ]
That is all.
oh! and 58 days until Idaho....But who's counting right?
