Chicken Tacos!!

So tonight for dinner I'm making chicken tacos!!! Although I'm making it in the crock pot it still manages to be fairly time consuming. I'm hoping that that's only because it's my first time making it, and I'm making a double batch... We'll see. Haha I just hope it turns out as good as when my mom makes it! Nothing super significant besides that has really occurred today so I'll keep this one short, and I'll let you know how the tacos turn out! Peace!

I'm back!!

I'm back to blogging! A lot has happened since I last posted, but too much to really catch you up on. Let's get to the important stuff. Life hasn't been particularly easy lately. To be honest I am no where near where I thought I would be at this point in my life. I am slowly coming to terms with that with the help of my best friend Samantha, and most importantly God. Two of the people I have been able to rely on to tell me more than just my short comings when times get tough; they build me up in the process. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for them. I love them both dearly, and often times I wonder if I tell them that enough. I probably don't. I must work on that!! Although times may be tough some times I just have to remember that "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Oops!

So... I really am not that fantastic at remembering to blog. Oops! Well, I am still employed and for the most part I enjoy my job. School is going pretty well, and I continue to learn more about myself and my dreams everyday. I'm still striving towards my goal of being a flight attendant, and I am always finding ways that I can stand out above the other candidates, when I finally get my shot at a group interview. I love my friends and family and I don't know what I'd do without them. They are such a strength to me and they have supported me through everything. I feel like everyday one of my friends are getting married and I am super happy for them, but sometimes it makes me feel old. The other day my little sister told me that I need to hurry up and get married because I am turning 20.... haha I really don't understand child logic sometimes. I am blessed and I love my life, but especially on days where it is 103 degrees outside I miss good ol' Alaska!! I am excited to see what life has in store for me next! Until next time, peace! :)

SO HAPPY!!! :D

So I'm in Utah now, and I'm now employed and I am going to school!! I have the best friends and family ever, and you could try to fight me about that fact and you would lose!! I am sooo happy right now things are finally falling into place, even better than I hoped they would!!! <3 Yay!! I know I say this all the time, but I really will try to blog more... I've been writing in my journal everyday now, thanks to the lovely reminders from my friend Kyle! So I've set a goal to update my blog at least once a week!! Feel free to bug me about it if I haven't again by the end of next week hahaha :) yes, that is an open invite to bug me!! Not that many people even read my blog.. well to my knowledge anyways, but if you love what you read or even just find it mildly interesting feel free to follow me!! I would love to read your blog in return! I love my life and I really want some blueberry muffin oatmeal!! I'm sooo hapy!! Never stop smiling!! I love you all! <3 Peace!

Time is Ticking!

On December 13, 2011 at approximately 1:30 a.m. I will be boarding a plane on my way to Utah, to continue my education by attending SLCC, time seems to be flying by (pun not really intended, but is actually kind of funny). I am excited to move forward with my life, but I also will very much miss Alaska for several reasons. Including, but not limited to, I have an extremely supportive family up here and they are simply fantastic; HOCKEY, I realize that they do have hockey in Utah but it is not quite the same. Also, the farm it is strange how much a place grows on you despite the fact that you spent clountless hours weeding row after row, but I must say driving the tractors is a blast!! I have also met some pretty awesome people here and will miss them dearly, but I cannot forget that this I'm not really leaving for good, merely just saying farewell. I will definiteley be coming back to visit as often as cercumstances allow. In fact my best friend Sam and I are already begining to plan an Alaska trip this summer, and I really hope that it will work out.

One thing I do love about Utah though is that you can make trips to Moab, and Park City, St. George, even Idaho and Wyoming in a very reasonable amount of time with very little notice, I defintiely look forward to spotaneous trips to awesome places with my best friends and hopefully that includes a lot of camping. With school and work it might be a little difficut, but I know that it's definitely doable and so worth it! I am also very excited that I will have the opportunity to go to downtown Salt Lake City to see the lights again this year, it is one of my favorite Christmas time traditions. I am a pretty lucky girl, I get to get an appartment with my best friends, go to school and be close to my family. Yeah, life is good. I am exteremly grateful for my friends and family and the awesome support they give me. I am really excited to see what this chapter in my life will bring!! Well, until next time (which may or may not be tomorrow). Smile!! :)

New Plan!!! (acctually we'll call it an edited plan)

Can you tell I'm excited for winter?? For all of you Utah people it's still not quite winter but here in Beautiful Alaska winter has begun!!!!! Life is great hockey season is started!! Anyways this Spring I'm going to Salt Lake Communtiy College (SLCC) and getting an Apartment with my best friend Samantha Taylor!!!! Yeahhhhh!!! I'm super excited plus SLCC is much, MUCH cheaper!!! It'll be awesome!!! :D I simply cannot wait!!!! I plan to make the best of the time that I have left here in Alaska because I love it and seriously, it's not everyday that you can see 10 moose in one given place in Utah!!! There are so many things I still want to do while I'm here...we'll see how many of them actually happen though. I still have yet to go fishing!!! This fact saddens me, but I will get to see my fair share of Hockey games!!! :) My Uncle's Team MAYHEM!!!!! Woot Woot!! Hopefully I'll get to go to an Alaska Aces game before I leave! As I look at my life now, I realize that I have more potential than I ever thought possible. With that kn0wledge I am super excited to pursue my dreams and go on lots of exciting adventures!!! We'll all hope that everything works out. In the words of David Cook "This is the time of my life!" Right this very moment I am talking to my bestie Samantha Taylor and she is driving looking for a McDonald's!! She was really stressed about it and now she is un-stressed because she found one and is getting food RIGHT NOW!!!! She is ♪♫bah dah ba ba ba lovin life♪♫ Yeaaaahhhhhh!!!! I'm super excited for what life has in store for me!!!! Until later...Bye <3

My First Alaskan Winter!!!!! :D

See that white stuff??? That is geniune ALASKA snow!! That's right!! Winter has arrived!!! I am super excited...and nervous for the my first Alaskan winter!!! It's gonna be awesome! Why you ask? Because I'm gonna make it awesome! I am currently trying to get things ready so I can go to University of Alaska Anchorage in the spring! I'm going to get my Associates Degree!! Can you tell I'm excited?? After which I hope to become a Flight Attendant since I will be 21, If all goes as planned, that is, and most Airlines hiring age is 21 for Flight Attendants. I know the Flight Attendant jobs are always in high demand, but I strongly believe that I can do it. My family and friends are the best support system ever, and I know that when I'm feeling down they'll lift me up just like they always do! :) I really can't wait to find out what school, life and ALASKA has in store for me in the near future. I'm also trying to find another job since work at the farm is really slowing down. It is coming more and more apperant that I'm an adult and have to make adult decisions for my life, a little nerve racking?? Yes!! I'm loving it though. I'm so happy that I've decided to start my life here in Alaska and I know that it'll bring great things to my life. I just need to work hard for what I want and keep my goals in mind! Can you tell I'm feeling really motivated right now? Maybe it's side effects from the snow. Haha I'm kidding but I just hope this feeling stays with me as I work towards my goals!! Okay, well I'm going to make myself some lunch :) I'll write some more tomorrow, or at least I'll try!! ;)
