New Look!

Hey y'all! I've been told by a few people lately that my blog was EXTREMELY boring so I decided to make some changes. I'm not very good at updating this thing mostly because I don't have much to say. My life has stayed the same since the last time I updated this. I'm almost finished with my first semester of college. WAHOO!!! Unfortunately I only have a one week break before my next semester :( College is going well I guess. I'm taking a writing class that is kinda kickin' my trash though. I never imagined that I would ever have to write so much. Not only do I have to write papers, I've had to write songs, childrens books, and letters of appreciation. LAME!!! I'll be so glad once it's over. Despite all crazy assignments however, I have straight A's! YAY ME!!!
I finally took the dirt bike out this past weekend. It was SOO much fun! I freakin' love them. The warm weather that we've had lately has got me itchin do have fun. I'm so stoked for wakeboarding, more ridin', camping, bonfires and so much more!! It's been a long time since I've been able to do that kind of stuff!
Lately I've had the urge to enhance my musical talents. I'm trying to learn how to play the guitar. This isn't the first time I've tried but I'm determined to stick to it this time. I'm pretty pleased with the progress I've made so far but I still have a long way to go before I'll be satisfied. I'm also trying to get back into playing the piano at a level that I'm comfortable with. It all takes a little more patience than I have sometimes and I can get really frustrated with it but it also gives me something to do to break up my boring life :D
Anyway, let me know what you think of the changes and I'll try to keep this updated a little better ;)

A little update-this is Deverie :)(she made the title that is)

It's been awhile and a lot of things have happened in my life. Mostly just things like getting back in touch with the real way of life again. I went snowboarding for the first time in nearly 3 years. I had almost forgotten how much i love that feeling. I expected it to take me a little while to get used to again but with the exception of a few major tricks i didn't land, i felt as comfortable as ever strapped to that stick of fiberglass.
i've started my freshman year at byu-i. It isn't my first choice of schools but during the orientation i recieved a confirmation that it is where i'm supposed to be, at least for right now. I'm not exactly sure why but i'm sure the Lord will see fit as to show me when the time is right. So far it hasn't been too bad. there is considerably more homework, mainly in the one class, than high school. But the surplus of hot chics makes up for that.
I bought a pickup, its a 2006 F150. i got one heck of a deal on it. it took some time before i actually had the keys in my hand but they are now and i'm loving every minute of it. It's nice not having to worry about whether my dad needs his pickup that night or not.
I've partied it up with my friends. its become my new favorite hobby. whether it be a night out with the guys (girls always seem to show up tho-no complaints) or just chillin with my best good friend Dev, i keep myself busy. but i do my best to squeeze in a letter to my other best good friend Shelby.
The last obstacle that i've yet to tackle is the whole getting a job thing. i've got a pretty good lead on one but its taking longer than i would like. however i'm also a little afraid of getting another job and then finally getting the call from the first one. something has to happen that way soon though.
anyway, life is good. i'm started to feel acclamated and myself again. thats a very good sign

Day of Bittersweet Sorrow

In a little less than an hour, my best friend enters the MTC and i won't see her for 18 months. It is a day that will forever be, for me,a day of bittersweet sorrow. Sister Shelby Nicole Bradley has made a life changing decision to do THE most important work known to man. So i guess if i have to lose her, at least its to something that i know is SO important. We spent this last weekend together the way it should always be; Shelby, Deverie and Logan. The 3 best good friends in the world. I dont know what i would do without those 2. We did everything we could to postpone the unavoidable goodbye throughout the entire weekend. There were moments where we broke down but did everything we could to hide it and show no weakness. There was a somber cloud around us as the time drew nearer to our dreaded Au Revoir. Music shattered the silence and drowned out our tears. No one looked at eachother. There were embraces of every kind and countless "I love you's". Promises were made. Titles were passed on. Tears were wiped away. Despite how hard it is to say good-bye to someone you love that much, we all knew it had to be done. We all understood the sacrifice would make us ALL stronger. Shelby is now a part of something bigger than us all and we wouldn't trade that for the world. We delayed it a little longer but couldn't do much more. Finally we tore off the band aid. It really stung. In fact i still feel the sting of it. It's weighing down on my heart as i write this. I will never forget the memories we made and i look forward to 18 months from now when we can once again reunite. Shelby, I love you more than i can express. I'm SOOO proud of you. You are a HUGE example to me. I can't wait to hear all the amazing things you will do. Don't worry about us here, the Lord will protect us as we know he is protecting you. I love this gospel. I know the kinds of experiences Shelby will gain. We only had 3 weeks together this time. But the letters will never stop and our relationship will only be strengthened. I know that to be true. The stinging will go away and we will move forward. Luckily i still have Dev around to help me through the hard times. She has experience with this kind of thing :). I'm so lucky to have the 2 best friends this world has to offer. I'll say this one more time, Shelby you are the best and i love you. Thanks for everything.
