It's been ages

I've decided to start fresh with this blog. Since I'm about to head off to college, I realized I'd be thankful later if I wrote about my life and what goes on someway! Plus, my mom will be a happy camper when she reads my blogs too :)

But anyway,

High School Graduation was a little over a month ago, and yet I feel like it's been years. I was so ready to be done, especially with all of the drama consuming Alta over the last couple of months. I'm ready to start a new beginning in Missoula, Montana this fall. Although I had my heart set on the University of Oklahoma, I feel as if UM is the right choice for me.

I really owe this change in direction to my amazing family. I realized the day of my Uncle's funeral that I should go to Montana. We were very close, and it's almost as if I could hear him telling me what to do. I just had a gut feeling to switch, and I am so grateful to him. My Uncle Lee was the greatest man, and he has left such a legacy. I will always admire him so much for everything that he accomplished, and for creating such a close knit family environment.

The love that was shone down from him, and the rest of my family at my decision made me realize how lucky I really am.

RIP Leandro Jimenez- You will be greatly missed.

Quotable Magnets

It's official...
I am the worst blogger ever alright but really I should be cut a little slack.
Having all of my friends writing intoxicating posts really doesn't give me the inspiration to write a lackluster one!

But anywho, I really just wanted to put this quote on here that I found so here it goes.

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Family!

I love finding old family pictures! :)

This is from 1938 when my Grandma and her family lived in a mining town called Eureka, Utah!

She's the last one on the right!

Content

As of late, I've just had that great feeling of contentment.
I wouldn't change life right now for anything, even when bad things happen, I would live my life the exact same way.
Thanks to everyone who has made my life so worth living :)

Notes :)

Riddle me this dear friends,
How do I always end up in interesting pickly dilemmas?
Why do I always get asked the same questions?
Is this a test!?

Today me and a friend were writing a note during class!
I will use initials only to keep the privacy of those involved :)

The Beginning:

S: C!

C: S!

S: How are you?!?

C: Great. You are the worst note writer

S: No I'm not! I just have to start out with small talk! It's a rule!

C: Oh Gotcha. Well now that the small talk is rolling, time for som BIG talk!!

S: What is considered big talk!?!

C: Haha just about whatever. Here I'll start... So who are you crushing on lately?


Why do you boys always have to ask this question!?

Theeee Gaaaaaame :)

The other day my dear friend presented me with a dilemma!

The point system helps take away the actual pressure of friend making and rewards you for the little stuff :D

Epiphany

Ahem...

**Surround yourself with people that make you feel happy.

People that don't make you second guess yourself.
People that don't make you feel inferior and sad.
People that you can actually call friends.

It's better to figure it out later rather than never :)
