Happiness

So I know I said I would update every Sunday but yesterday was a busy day so I figure Monday morning is just as good. So this week and weekend has been pretty awesome!!!! I think the biggest change for me is that I have made a sincere effort to be truly happy and I think that it is working, not to mention that I don't have anything that has brought me down anymore :) On Friday me and some of my friends went to dinner and saw the best movie in the world called the blind side... lets just say when I left the movie I could not stop smiling. Then on Saturday we had a work party and I had to do a brave thing and be the only one to speak up in a room full of a bunch of people older then me and say that i did not want to watch a rated R movie after it had already started. Even though this was really hard and some people laughed at me and didn't understand I felt really good that I stood up for what I believed in and I gained a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ. Saturday night we had our ward Christmas party which was really fun, we ate a lot of food, talked and sang Christmas carols. Sunday was also a great day. Sunday morning I spent the morning visiting teaching,which I love and then we had our Christmas program at church, which really set the tone for the rest of the day. Sometimes Sundays can be hard but I have a lot of good friends and people here that make me feel loved. After church we went to the nursing home and sang Christmas songs with the residence which made me very happy. Overall it was a great week and weekend!!! this week is pretty short. Today I have work and FHE, then Tuesday there is a party at a friends house and tithing settlement, and then Wednesday morning I will be back in Utah for the Christmas holiday!!!!!
Can't wait to see all of you

Starting over

I know that I started a blog when i first moved to Austin and that was a bust, so I thought that since I have been here for a year and a half and don't plan on leaving anytime soon I should keep everyone updated on my life. Since coming back from Thanksgiving I have developed a new attitude about life, and that is, I NEED TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE. Obviously I knew this a long time ago but this time I am actually doing something about it. I have discovered that if I make list of things to do, I actually do them and don't waste my day just sitting around watching TV, shocking I know. This week I have applied for 2 new jobs and to be a volunteer at the children's hospital. Not only will being a volunteer help keep me busy but I am hoping that it will help get my foot in the door for future job opportunities. life has been pretty good since i have been back, I have stayed pretty busy. My goal for this blog is to update it every Sunday so that you guys can stay up to date with what is going on in my life.
I love and miss you all.
