Begin Again

Begin Again

Once I had someone tell me, "if you write ahead your life, then it will happen." If I write: I didn't do drugs, I didn't have alcohol at that party... I had the best day ever. It is going to happen that way.

Now obviously you can only do this for things you have control over. I'm not going to write: "I will have unicorn..." and expect it to magically appear. But if I plan for things like it will actually happen, then it will.

On February 14th 2012...

I will be seeing The Vow.

(If I am not on a date with a cute boy, 

I will be on a date with the prettiest girl in my life.)

And I will be incredibly happy- single or taken.

On June 4th 2012...

I will travel to Costa Rica and volunteer in an orphanage.

And up to that point, I will raise money to make it possible.

IN 2012:

I will be more Christlike.

I will be aware of people who need a smile. 

I will hold my tongue and stand up for the little guy.

I will be healthier.

I will go to the gym every week.

I will eat healthier and do Yoli.

I will learn how to cook great food.

I will get a better education and work harder.

I will get A's in all my classes.

I will volunteer more.

I will see my best buddy twice a month.

I will get involved in another way (Special Olympics or Pals).

I will strengthen my testimony.

I will pray and read scriptures every night.

I will go to the temple every week.

I will save money.

I will not pay to eat out more than once a week.

I'll work at ASSERT.

I will try new things.

I will meet new people.

My heart will be happy.

I will fall in love... I hope. ;)

But I will be happy if I don't.

All of my short-term goals are to have the long-term.

I want to always have faith.

I want to have a family.

I want to be healthy.

And return back to my Father in Heaven.

I will stop counting my days

and make them all count.

No matter what comes my way in 2012, I want to be happy. My resolutions and my goals... the outcome is just to be happy. Be happy with all I am blessed with. Be happy that I have family, friends and the gospel to love me and guide me. Be happy that I'm not in this alone, and that amazing things will happen and terrible things will happen... but I will learn and grow. And I will be happy. 


I will make some serious memories.

2012, be ready, because I am.

P.S. Seattle is a beautiful city...
and sometimes I pretend to be a photographer
