Daybreak Lake

I can't believe the weather lately. It's stinkin' January and I didn't wear a coat today, that's how warm it was!!! I blogged a lot last month, and this month. Honestly, my friend Jenna inspires me. I hope she doesn't think I'm copying her, but the more I blogged the more I realized how important it is to me to record all of my memories since I'm not good at handwriting and such. Anyway, today I stopped by Daybreak Lake on my way home from Orem. That place really means a lot to me. I've brought so many close people to me, there and it's always been special. That lake holds so many memories; good and bad. Today I decided to walk because I needed fresh air, and just to clear my head. I've had so many experiences there, and it felt nice to go there today. New year, new slate, new memory slot, new me, new everything. This year has so much in store for me and I'm really excited.

I'm going to be graduating college with my AS in Psychology. First college graduate in my family; it's been tough, but I'm really happy. My siblings and even my mom are going back to school now so it's really nice :) I'm going to be graduating Institute with my 14 hour diploma. I worked really hard for that one too, but it's made more of a difference in my life than anything else. I'll be leaving my teenage days this year, and Brady will be old enough for anything. He'll come home, and we'll see where my life takes me from there. I have a good job, and I'm learning a lot from it. I sat down today and came up with some really good goals for myself. Instead of "resolutions" I thought I would give myself goals in different aspects of my life: Education, Social, Physically, Spiritually, Financially, etc. They're pretty reachable which I'm happy with and I'm excited to make a difference in my life :) I've been doing good with some already and the one I'm most excited to work on is Spirituality. There is always room for improvement.

I've decided to start going to the Temple 4 times a month, which is basically 1 time a week. And if I miss 1 week, then I have to go 2 times the next week, and so forth. I'm also going to start reading the Book of Mormon and hopefully have it read twice before Brady gets home :) I want to stay at Institute and get to know more people, same with my YSA Ward. I want to start spending more time with my family. We got rid of our cable box, which is going to benefit us so much. I'll have to watch my tv shows online, which I don't already have time for. School is starting next week, so I'm going to be studying like CRAZY pretty soon here. I want to continue saving money, and pay off some things I've purchased. I want to learn how to play acoustic guitar, so if you know how, you should teach me :) I want to start working out, which can happen now that I have my asthma medicine! I've been better about eating sweets too!

Anyway, I can't wait until Brady and I can go to daybreak again. I've brought many boys there but the one I think of the most when I'm there, is him :) Here is to 2012 :)
