IsN't It FuNnY!

Ya know lately I have noticed some funny things in life....


Isn't it funny how when we get hurt we are always saying
oh I can't wait to get active again, but when we finally
are well enough to move we don't have that desire to ... move.

Isn't it funny when you see that oh so sweet piece of cake
sitting right there for you to devour like a ferocious lion,
you feel like a worthless pig after eating it and realizing
oh there goes all my points from weight watchers... (I'll just start
over next week.)

Isn't it funny how when going into movies or even meeting people
and you think this is going to be the worst movie or they
are just a horrible person, they or it turns out the be one of
the best shows you've ever seen or they become your best friend.

Isn't it funny that when you think you've made the worst
mistake possible, you still have more to make.

Isn't it funny that when in your weakest or lowest moments,
you find some of your greatest strengths.

Isn't it funny that when on your knees you stand a little taller.

Isn't it funny how life is like shaving, no matter how good
you do it today you still have to do it again tomorrow.

Isn't it funny when you finally get that dream car, house,
favorite movie, game, or moment of glory you are always craving
more.

Isn't it funny how you can look at someone thinking they
are this type of person and they totally shock you by being
the exact opposite.

Isn't it funny how a broken bone might make you cry for
a few minutes but a dang blister on your foot or hand can
make you whine for days!

Isn't it funny how little children can say they hate you one
minute but love you the next... (remind you little children,
that never happens with adults!)

Isn't it funny how it takes us in our moments of despair
to finally realize we can't do it on our own and we
reach up and finally ask him for help.

And isn't it funny how most of these moments we are all grateful for. Because in one way or another these moments can teach us something. It is through these moments we become who we are. So LIVE! Live through these "isn't it funny" moments; laugh, cry, and smile do whatever you want to do... but live so that those who do not know Christ will want to know Christ because they know you:)

Things I do for FUN

So the other night the girls (CEU basketball team of 08) decided to have some fun! So we went penny tapping! It was a night unlike any other. On our first night, our first experience led to a chase in the hills in the forerunner! I was trying to get away from a nice Ford truck and well I was going towards a hill, small hill to say the least, and the last time I went down it was about 7 months ago or so, so my knowledge of this hill was about to be updated! I thought the speed I was going would send us down the nice slope and send us nicely on our way.... well the slope, there wasn't on, and nicely is defiantley not a word I would use to describe it! Instead we should have all started singing "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky (or ceiling because everyone did!)" The screaming came to a hault as everyone held there breath to embrace for impact, with little to nothing to hold onto except for the two genisuses I had in the front seat (they used a seat belt) and me of course with my seat belt, we landed safely. Well all of us except for Draina! She ended up kneeing herself in the eye, she looked like Mike Tyson in round three jk the eye wasn't bad but she did get kicked in the crauch! Oh and Kacey did get some quiff'n in the face, she grabbed Rach for something to hold on to and well the butt was in the face and hitting the ground and squeezing her like she did, well you get the picture! BLAH! Other than that we did great! We found a great hiding spot and was not caught that night, nor the next! lol We also entertain ourselves by playing DDR on your hands with your feet on the couch! Hard! Trust me, it isn't intended for the weak! So if you think your strong try a song or two. :D

Back Home till who knows when!

So I'm back home in UT. ND was a blast. I had such an enjoyable time getting to know people there. The team was great! The ended up going to the tourny and going to the elite 8. (to bad I wasn't there might have taken them to the FINAL FOUR jk). But the girls were great. I had probably the best roommate I could have had. We were just alike in many ways! Great girl, got drunk sometimes but hey it was fun watching her make a fool of herself. I always went by a quote while I was there, "WARNING: Consuming alcohol might lead you to believe your talking quietly when you actually are not!" lol There were some great times! I met a few guys, none of which are better then my Schy. Some had the potential but utterly failed in their attempts, if that's what you want to call them.
The ward was absolutley amazing! I got to know about eight different families that took me in as there own, which helped minimize the home sickness in a lot of ways! I had an adopt-a-beaver family which was in my ward also. The school sets it up and just has a family there to take care of you. Mine was awesome, I had FHE with them a lot and went ice fishing with them also! The other families were just as awesome though. I grew to love them in many ways! Infact I wouldn't trade the experience I had for anything. Nor would I ever trade any of those families! They helped me in so many different ways. I also find a deeper love and passion for the gospel up there! I can't explain the way the Lord touched me with his love. It is amazing what things can happen to you when you least expect it! All in all, it was a GREAT experience!
