Wanting summer nights to stay forever !

Anyone else with me?
I am soaking up every summer night that is for sure. Only 2 more weekends until school starts... and one of them I work so that doesn't really count. I am so excited to start school again, but I know its going to take a lot of hard work and focus so that means not as much play time. Ready or not here it comes.

The past month has been great. So much has happened and life is good. I have learned so much through all the trials in my life but I think I have learned one of the hardest lessons through this trial.... but it was the most strengthening as well.  Forgiveness.

There is nothing that will bring us more of the Spirit of God than to … be kind, considerate, charitable, long-suffering and forgiving. There is nothing that will bring more joy to us than to be ready and willing to forgive the trespasses of our neighbors against us, and there is nothing that will bring more condemnation to us than to harden our hearts and to be bitter and vindictive in our feelings towards those by whom we are surrounded

Although I have been taught this princeple before I felt I had never really had to use it in my life the way I have had to the past 3 months. It was so hard for me to swallow my pride and realize that life will be so much better if I could just forgive Sean. I tried and tried and I feel like that harder I tried the more bitter I felt. It was truly tearing me up inside. But I know the lord always provides a way to get through our trials in his time not ours. I know I had to suffer to appreciate this principle. In the blink of an eye one day I just felt ready. Ready to talk, ready to forgive, ready to say it's ok and I want you to be happy, ready to truly let go. I guess me being angry was a way of holding on to the only part of Sean that I had left. I know we all make mistakes, all we can do is learn and grow from them and thank our heavenly father for what they have taught us. If we don't learn then all that pain was for nothing. I am grateful for everything. I want to testify how much better life is when we don't have bad feelings towards anyone.  I know there are many people out there who have had things done to them that are a million times worse then what was done to me, but I know that they to can forgive and there life will be changed. I can truly say now that this chapter of my life is closed. This is the last I will write about it. Although it still stings a little and makes me sad,  I walk away so much happier knowing that we can both find happiness still, just not together anymore. I don't think Sean could have said it any better, this is the last thing he said,  

"Thank you for being you, so perfect. I'm sorry I couldn't give you the world like I promised but someone else will I'm sure of it"

I truly know that the lord has something else and someone else instore for me and for sean. I am grateful for that knowledge and I am ready to walk away with just that with a smile on my face. 

As far as what has been going down....

Trevor has been here through thick and thin, he has become my very best friend. I don't know what I would do without him. I thank my heavenly father for him. He always puts a smile on my face thats for sure!

Well thats a quick update.
Now is the start to a stay-cation with my parents. We were going to go to San Diego but things just didn't work out. So we are going to stay here and do some fun stuff in the mountains and around town. Tonight we went to cheesecake factory. It was so much fun! I love my parents! I am excited to have a week off of work and just hang out here!


Peace and Love

Out Yo ;)


P.S. I forgot to mention.. I finally got the camera I have been waiting to get. Its the Canon's first smaller camera with a great optical zoom. Im a little obsessed..... sometimes the only person to take pictures of is myself so deal with ok :) haha

Champions

All night softball tournaments are the best, especially when you go undefeated. I played with this team last (CJ's Sluggerz) year as well in the Tooele all night softball tournament but we took second or third I believe. We weren't having it this year though. It was so much fun, our first game was at 9PM and the championship game started at 630 AM. We were the undefeated champions!!! I am finally getting the whole slow pitch thing down and I think I can start to play on some more competitive teams consistently like this one. Everyone I played with was so dang good, it was fun to play with some really good athletes....... for a minute I didn't miss fastpitch so much... it felt almost just as good as the old days.... but just almost not quite.

We won shirts yah baby!

Hollywood what??

Hollywood Connections baby!!!

Last weekend we were able to get a fun group together and go to Hollywood connections. I think it was the first time being there in years for a lot of us. Jared's dad is the GM and hooked us up with free skating, bummper cars, roller coaster, and tunz of tokens for arcade games. All of the boys were in heaven, they were like little kids. It was such a fun night out with friends!

Little did I know, Trevor use to be a DJ at the roller skating rink all through high school. So he was pretty professional at skating! It was so much fun to watch him and he helped me get better, I didnt fall once :)

We all felt like we were in Jr. High again :)

Since Mal is about to pop a baby out she couldn't roller skate. So her and pete watched my camera for me and took some beautiful pictures together. Love you guys!

Mal and Lisa were dominating at games, they won so many tickets!!!

Did I mention the boys were in heaven???

Happy Couple

The bummper cars were the best, I don't think I stopped laughing through the whole ride.

We pretty much rode puff the magic dragon.

I could have rode that roller coaster all night!

I don't think any of us will wait 5 years before we good back to the good old Ho Co

Summer Summer SummerTime

I love summer, I am sad there is only a month in half left before school starts. My life will finally start getting back to normal though. I got in to the University of Utah which was a big relief because I applied 3 months late because I thought I would be out of state. I am so excited to finally know the road ahead for school. I have about a year in half before I graduate, then I found out about an accelerated Phd program at the U. I am well on my way to being a child psychologist and I am so excited about it. I have finally found something that I am passionate about and I can't wait to get started!

I love summer nights, when I can stay out all night and not get cold. Here are just a few adventures I have been on this summer.

 Going out with the crew the Ensign Peak and the SLC cemetery... don't ask us why but its been great hanging out with all of our old group from high school.

The girls & Boys

South Jordan dayz and T-ville Dayzzz

I have seen a lot of fireworks this July and I am so happy about it!

I love my Girls, I am so happy I have got to spend time with them this summer!

Boating! One of my favorite summer events. These pictures don't need much explanation. I love the great friends I have made in the recent year, I love my old and my new I am so blessed! I LOVE BOATING!

Last but not least... I made the basketball and won myself a prize.

The bull dog had a hole in it so I moved on to the monkey.

Please meet the next new addition to my family.

They Make Me Smile

Everyone kept asking if Trevor won me the monkey........... I proudly said no ;)

I can't get enough of summer, stay tuned. Plenty more summer night memories are being made as we speak.
