My loot.

What do Jerrica and I do late on a Wednesday night when we are completely lacking motivation?

We go to Walmart and buy a treat.

Then, the next day....we go to the DI.

And we hit the jackpot.

Here's my loot.

Today in my Life.

Life. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes....not so much. Here's how mine is doing.

Today, I taught a science lesson. I also took a science midterm. Oh, and there was that spelling lesson that I taught. A little bit of a stressful day? Yup.

Did I get out of both my classes early today? Oh yes!

I miss him.

I found out recently that my current plan of graduating in May....might not happen. A bump in the road has come. What's going to happen? Maybe another semester in Logan. Maybe a switch in my student teaching. Maybe something else. I don't really know how this is going to effect my scholarship, housing, or anything really.

One thing that know is that I have a testimony that EVERYTHING happens for a reason and everything WILL work out in the way that it is supposed to. This is part of God's plan for me.

I changed my blog title back to what it was originally.

My mind likes to over think everything which can cause some issues. At this moment it's better, but not solved.

Institute was fabulous last night.

"You have the potential to become anything to which you set your mind." 

-President Gordon B. Hinckley

2 Nephi 10:23-24

23 Therefore, cheer up your hearts, 

and remember that ye are free to 

act for yourselves--to choose the 

way of everlasting death or the 

way of eternal life.

24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, 

reconcile yourselves to the will of 

God, and not to the will of the devil 

and the flesh; and remember, after 

ye are reconciled unto God, that it is 

only in and through the grace of God 

that ye are saved.

Walked up to campus to be really productive.
Overcast.
Left my planner and a textbook at home.
Oh, and I don't have any ibuprofen with me.

That is about how my day is going.

Maybe the sun will come out.


If not today or tomorrow, then someday.

Material and Spiritual Things.

Sometimes there are things that I want. But alas, I am but a poor college student just trying to feed myself and get enough sleep. So, just for the fun of it, here are a couple things that I currently want. These aren't in any particular order.

A Pair of Chacos.
A Terabyte External Hard Drive.
Hundreds of Children's Books.
A Haircut.
Colored Skinny Jeans.
Hawaii Sandals.
Ink for My Printer.


Now, on to more important things.
Today is Sunday and I just want to say that I am so grateful for my life. I'm grateful for all the things that have happened in my life. I know that I have been blessed and that my trials and experiences have made me into the woman I am today. I am grateful for the people in my life. My family, friends, and that boy who currently has my heart. I'm grateful that these people love me for the weird, imperfect person I am. I am grateful that I am at USU. I love Logan and I love the program I am in. I am so thankful and quite amazed that I will be done in less than a year. I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who loves me and knows me. I am grateful that he puts up with this flawed daughter of his. I am thankful that he is constantly forgiving me for the many mistakes that I make. I am thankful that he has a plan for me and that even though I don't know what it is, he is guiding me in they way I need to go. I'm grateful that I can talk to him whenever and where ever I want. I'm grateful that he sent his son to this earth to live and die for me. I'm grateful for the chance I have to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am thankful for the knowledge that I can be with my family forever. I am grateful for my faith, even though it isn't perfect, I am trying my hardest. I'm grateful for prophets who are instruments in the Lord's hand to guide us and warn us. I am grateful for every opportunity and everything that I am blessed with.

Awesome hail storm. Yes, I played in it.

Isn't that beautiful?

A Bad Case of the Hiccups

The sun was shining and it was Jerrica's birthday. She decided that on her birthday she wanted to do something outrageously fun. She decided that going swimming would be the perfect thing. So, she gathered some neighbor friends, packed up a picnic basket, and left for the pool.

Once they got there they played around in the water for a while. Eventually, Jerrica and her friends became quite hungry. They decided to pull out the picnic basket and have some lunch. They ate the delectable PB&Js and long crunchy carrot sticks. They were having a great time and decided to get back into the pool.

Jerrica's friend Blake decided to dive off the diving board and Jerrica decided to follow him. As Jerrica jumped off the board all of sudden "HICCUP". A little stunned, she fell into the water. She emerged from the water and "HICCUP". There it was again.

All of Jerrica's friends swam over to see what the matter was. "HICCUP."

"Oh dear," said Dallin, "this is serious."

Grant said, "I know what to do! You need to drink lots of water."

They got out of the pool and--"HICCUP"--Spencer got Jerrica a huge glass of water. Jerrica downed the whole glass. "HICCUP."

Sebastian said, "You should try standing on your head." Jerrica stood on her head for 3.86 minutes. Just when they thought that had done the trick--"HICCUP"--they were back to square one.

Jerrica reluctantly said, "I don't think these hiccups are going anywhere. "HICCUP." Let's just go home."

So, they all left.

They were walking home when all of a sudden Lauren held out her hand and exclaimed, "I just remembered that I have glitter in my pocket!"

Jerrica squealed, "Ooooh! I love glitter! HICCUP."

She took it out of her hand, closed her eyes tight, and threw the glitter high into the air. And then, to everyone's dismay there was silence. That was it. Jerrica's hiccups were gone.

And that is the story of how Jerrica got rid of a bad case of the hiccups.

And then my brain was like, "I don't want to concentrate on homework."

I'm struggling.
To concentrate.
This Wednesday evening.

I don't want to do my homework.
But it needs to be done.

Life is weird.
And amazing.
And confusing.

I'm in one of those moods.
The kind where you don't really want to talk to anybody.
Or maybe you just don't have anything to say.

Maybe that will change later tonight.
When I do something.
Something that isn't homework.

Words Their Way.
Chapters one and two.

The bobby pins in my hair are poking my head.

I have really great friends.
A wonderful family.
A great life.

Time to Discern

Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you when you took no thought save it was to ask me. But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right. But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought.
Doctrine and Covenants 9:7-9
