Living the College Life

Well, being 17 and moving to a whole new city has been a whole new experience. I loved being able to graduate from high school early and loved getting a head start on my education for my future. I have recently decided to get my Medical Assisting Degree with my Generals at LDS Business College, then transferring to Weber State, in Utah and going to get my Radiology Major and becoming and Ultra Sound Technician.

I am currently taking 12 units. My classes are Math, Communications, Pearl of Great Price, Medical Terminology, and IT. My IT class is a ridiculous computer class, I have a teacher who thinks that knowing a computer inside and out is the most important thing in the world. My math course is tough but I am trying to push through it as best as I can. I love my Pearl of Great Price teacher, he is from Bakersfield, California too (Brother Greg Wright). He is awesome. He truly knows his stuff. I have a great time in communications due to all the crazy friends I have in that class. My Medical Terminology is a lot of memorizing but is actually coming a lot faster than I thought it would. So overall I am having a great first semester.

I hope to be married in the future. The first week being single at the BC, I was asked on 8 dates. I also realized my first week of being here that this is where I was suppose to be. I knew that I had made the right decision by coming to Salt Lake City. It is weird being away from my sisters and the rest of my family, whom I am use to. But everyday it gets me more excited to go home and see them.

Jake is on his mission and doing well. He says he is speaking lots of spanish and learning a lot. I love and miss him everyday. It is still weird to me to not be able to pick up the phone and call him. But he will be home before we know it.

Everything is going well in my life. I hope it continues to get better and I know it will.

summer life of a 17 year old, 2010

Through work, having a horse, being 2nd counselor of girls camp of the Bakersfield Stake, and the Laurel Class president of the Brimhall Ward, I haven't had much time to keep my blog up to date...

Through serving the girls of our stake and my ward, I have learned to love the Lord and the virtue of patience has taken its toll. There have been many sleepless nights staying up with my presidency for girls camp trying to get everything ready for the best experience of girls camp ever! The presidency has been stressed out of our minds, hoping that girls camp will be awesome. Many Prayers have been asked that the girl's testimonies will grow and they will get the experience more than expected. We are very excited to have the girls go and get the experience they are hoping for.

Work has been good. My boss is still intimidating, but i'm still enjoying work.

I am trying to sell my horse. He has a video on YouTube the key words are Louinski and me. He has been my pride and joy for the last 5 years and now its time for him to go to a new home. I just don't have time for him anymore :(.

But through everything I have my family. I love them and they will always be here for me.

I got a new truck, its a Colorado Chevy, 4 door, red, 4 wheel drive and its adorable. I am wayyyy excited about it. I think it has made my life complete. hah

Anyway, I need to go to bed, tomorrow is a new day for a new start and another day to do everything I can to be me. :)

As a 17 year old lives daily....

I have never wanted to serve a mission for the Lord, and recently due to my best girl friends ever and how far I have come in the gospel, all I want to do is serve the Lord and teach everyone else about the gospel. I have been able to hold quite a few church callings as a Laurel class president, 2nd counselor for girls camp and a chorister in sacrament. I have loved the Lord like I never have in my life before. My testimony has grown and strengthen beyond my expectations. I have been so happy to sit down and read my scriptures and learn more about what our doctrine has to offer. I also love learning of how I was sent here for a purpose.

I have grown closer to my family and my sisters while I have been home with them. Julia and I have learned to love each other while Jake is away at college and soon to be going on his mission. Julia's and my relationship has grown to an extent where we can talk about anything a sister needs to trust a sister with. Jayne is still everyone's favorite little girl and they just adore her. Including me. She loves everyone and tries to please everyone as life comes at her. Its weird how all three of us are in high school. I'll be a senior, graduating in December; Julia is a sophomore and Jayne is a freshman and will be attending Liberty, with Julia. I'll be at my home school program, where I'm happy and content at.

I take one day as it comes. Lou (my horse) and I are still in love with each other, but as I head off to college in January, Lou is going to be sold. I will always love him and I will never forget what a huge memory he has been in my life. I have loved him dearly. He and I have gone through every hardship, and he has always been there for me as my best friend.

I'm currently single and loving it. I am not really interested in dating until I get to LDS business college in January, or not even that.. I really want to serve my mission first, then date. I am ready to move out, I have stayed in Bakersfield wayy too long, I want to live life to its fullest. And bring every bit of joy out of it that I can.

I just recently bought the cutest truck ever, its an '04 Chevy Colorado, red with 4 doors and 4 wheel drive. Is basically the most precious truck ever and it suits me :) I am very excited about it.

My best friends are Kairisti and Kirsti and they are my older sisters...basically. They make my life complete <3!>

I am ready to see what the future has in store for me.. but for now, thats me and my life currently. I'll keep you posted!
