My Junk

I have a lot of junk. A lot of it is packed in my ginormous suitcase right now! BECAUSE I GO HOME TOMORROW!
I know being away from home for four months doesn't seem like a lot, but so much has happened since I've been gone! K well mostly just my little nephew emmett being born... or and my parents took out our pool :(. Other than that not much has happened, but stil it's the little things that I miss. I miss my mom telling me to pick up my shoes, to stop eating all the cookies, and to drive safe. I miss my dad laughing at my stupid jokes, asking me if i need anything and doing whatever he can to make my day. I miss Rileypants sleeping outside my door, scratching at the door, begging for food and just being his adorable precious doggy self! I miss hanging out and laughing with my sister. I miss making stupid puns and jokes with Randy and Amanda. And I miss Ben being the brother who does everything crazy with me! Unfortunately he won't be home, but I'll get to talk to him on Christmas and I can't wait!
I'm so excited to go back to abercrombie too! I CAN NOT EVEN SAY HOW EXCITED I AM! Marissa is like my best friend there... and also the store manager- can you say yeahhhh yeah!!!? Her and I usually just sit in the back and complain about the customers or run around on the floor trying to please the customers we hate. Occasionally we try and run around while sharing a pair of fuzzy little boy flip flops. And I know it sounds dumb, and there are so many other people with higher ambitions than me and best of luck to you with your high aspirations, but I want to be a manager for abercrombie! Not for my whole life, but just for a year or two while I get my masters and the fact that I work there everytime I go home will be so awesome when I apply to be an MIT (...manager in training). K i know that it sounds amazingly lame that I'm excited about that- but at least I have a plan! Like I know exactly what I'm going to do when I graduate college... kind of.
Oh, in my excitement to go home I almost forgot to say... I AM DONE WITH FALL SEMESTER 2008 booooyah! I'm not sure how I did, but I think ok, despite the whole 'I don't want my gallbladder!' thing. It feels amazing to be done. Last semester I feel like school was really easy and I didn't put in as much effort as I should have, and I still feel that way at little, but not as much. Every semester that I'm in school I want to do better. So you know what?! Next semester I'm going to kick some academic trash!
So I think junk can be a good thing. It's like another word for stuff. That's how I think of it... and stuff is like part of me; the stuff that comprises and makes me who i am. So I like my junk! I have my cedar city junk and my home junk. I love all my junk, i really do! And even the bad things in life, all the trials that we all get I love those too. And even if parts of them follow you around until the day that you die they make you so much stronger than you could ever be without them. Sometimes I just get so excited thinking about how amazing the Plan of Salvation is! K i know this is like a little Morm shout-out, but seriously whenever I think life is hard or I can't go on anymore I remember to have an eternal perspective. Even while every little decision I make for worse or for better matters I find so much joy in knowing that Heavenly Father has a plan made just for me! That makes me worry just a little bit less. And I know that He loves despite my massive amounts of junk. WHAT IS BETTER THAN THAT! I know that He loves me whether my junk is what to wear tomorrow or how to better be of service to people!
Well I think that's really all I have to say...except I love my little! Kaily! She's so amazing and so much fun. She reminds me that life is too short to be bored/boring. I've never met anyone who loves living every single day so much. She's just SO full of life! And she can make me laugh and the stupidest things. Like today I was eating an apple and because I apparently eat it funny she said it looked like Hiroshima. K I realize that that SHOULD NOT BE FUNNY! because the a bomb is a serious thing, but it made me laugh so hard! Kaily is not afraid to speak her mind, no matter what anyone thinks and I admire that.
And I can't forget Alicia. She's the steady constant friend in my life that I have to have. She's always always always there when I need her. She's just so funny too! Sometimes I think I'll pee my pants- and that'd just be awkward for everrrryone!Alicia always does the right thing, but not in a "i do everything perfectly way!" she's so humble! She also has an amazingly good judge of character, and is right about all my relationships haha.
Speaking of relationships... not that I'm in one, or really want to be... I'd just like to say I've recently noticed my age.Does that sound weird? Yeah? Oh well. K but hear me out! I'm nineteen. I am not 25. I LOVE being 19! I have so much I can do with my life, not that you can't when you're 25, but I'm doing exactly what a 19 year old is expected to be doing. There is something about that that just makes me SO HAPPY! maybe it's just the amazing hot chocolate Alicia got me, but everything seems so amazing. Thank you to everyone in my life that makes it so much fun!
