Carrie's Story

Life is wonderful, despite the world's belief. School is going great. Lately I have been debating on what major I should choose because I am not interested in exercise science anymore. This fall semester has gone really well. I love my roommates, I love my ward, I love my classes, and I love my friends. I miss everyone from back home so much and can not hardly wait for Christmas season! My two roommates are Natalie and Brooke. They are both freshmen with big hopes for the future. They are both extremely talented and capable of doing whatever they choose with their futures. There is not much new about my life. My favorite class right now is American Sign Language. Some days I will sit around sign instead of talking just because I prefer it. Lately I have been escaping the whole "graduate as fast as you can" trap that I put myself in and am taking time to do those things I have always wanted to like learn another language, guitar, piano, etc. Sometimes it is easy to fill up a schedule with items that need to be done and I fill it so jammed pack that I don't take time to develop those hobbies and talents I have always dreamed of. Now I've finally opened my eyes and am starting to understand the importance of family and expression.

Here is a little video I found randomly online. A guy named Jeremy Ashida wrote and plays the song, but another guy does this art in his free time and both are really talented.

Only If...



Also, here are some inspirational words from my man Mr. T.



Enjoy! I love you all!

Well, I knew I wasn't going to be the best at keeping a blog, but I didn't think I would be this bad! For all of those who may not know, I am still in Utah doing the same old fun stuff. School has been a blast! The spring/summer atmosphere is so great. After I finish up with spring classes I will officially be a junior, and my the end of winter semester I will hopefully be able to apply for optometry school. I love my new roommates, Chelsea and Allie. They are both new freshmen and they are so enjoyable and fun to be around.
I am in a family history class this term and have found a lot of grandma Melba's ancestors and I am working to try and find Grandma Jeannie's, but that task is a bit difficult. The easiest way to find ancestors is if they are deceased because I might find them in the social security index or they might have filled out a early 1900's census or served in the wars. I am just going to keep searching though and maybe I can find something here soon!
This term I am in Statistics, Family History, and Current Social Problems. I love each and every one of the classes and the professors that teach them!
Today I think Sean and I are going to Costa Vida and then are going to have a picnic in the canyon. I love how beautiful everything is out here in the summer. There are flowers in full bloom on every block (especially Roses). Also, the mountains are green because of the unusual amount of rainfall and sometimes I feel like I am in a different country like Iceland or Ireland.
I am especially excited to go home for a comparably lengthy trip (a whopping 15 days!!!!) and spend time with everybody.

(Paige and LJ are my fabulous roommates and Kelsey, Brie, and Lindsey are my neighbors across the hall. Haha, Mom you know Brie, right?)

Dear Family,
I made this blog especially for you! Don't you all feel very special? Well, you should. This is a blogspot and I will post my news and adventures on it so yall will know about my life as I know it (give or take a few details). Today I have a huge test but I think I might take it tomorrow instead. It is over American Heritage .... gahh! It is snowing here in Provo today. Ah, the first snow of November! Paige's brother and friends are coming into town this weekend so we are all going to have a miniature thanksgiving dinner. It should be fun and I can work on my cooking skills which fail me in this high altitude. Well, this post should probably end now because I should be studying for this dreadful test! I love you all!
