Story of my Life

So I want to tell you the story of my life. Minus the fact that it's 17 years long and would take way to long to tell you and you would get bored. So I am going to shorten it to about 3 minutes... Give or take a couple seconds.

Inspiration #5. The Call by Regina Spektor.

LISTEN TO IT RIGHT NOW

This song completely describes everything I am feeling right now as I leave for college in less than 2 weeks. Life just needs to take a little chill pill for a moment and let me breathe. I'm dying from pre-college anxiety!

Hope that your Saturday has been blissfully happy!

Living in the Wild

So this week has been incredibly busy and I haven't even started to head out to BYU yet. How does life slip away so fast? There are so many people to see and things to pack and money to earn. And more money to earn. And MORE money to earn. That's really been consuming my life lately. But I just got my beautiful laptop (her name is Bethany) and so that should make blogging a whole lot easier.

So life is taking over life. No surprise there. It's also called growing up. But I luckily get to take a nice 3 day break starting tomorrow. Inspiration #4. Camping. I LOVE CAMPING. So the camp site I am going to has about one hundred girls from church all over and it's all fun and all, but just being outside 24/7 makes me so incredibly happy.

I Love:
Waking up and hearing the birds right away.
Staying up ridiculously late around the campfire until the smell of smoke is almost gone and the embers are almost visibly burned out.
Sneaking out of the campsite to do rebellious things like mudsliding and taking a private tour of the castle at the campsite. (And that isn't a joke.)
Making yummy campfire food.
Not having to worry about phones or facebook or working for a couple of days.

I hate:
Peeing in the woods for the first time in a long time.
Missing all of my wonderful friends not camping with me.

So some pictures of my amazing camping experience:




So this is why I love it so much!!!! This is where I am going to be for the next couple of days. Living in the wild.

Oh and by the way. Read Into the Wild. It is one of the best books ever.
