<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me start off by saying one important thing: I posted this picture of myself on my instagram/facebook holding my CPA license. I look excited/happy - and I accomplished something pretty big. People only see that one part of it - they didn't see the hard work, and sacrifice that went into achieving this goal of mine. That's one of the reasons I wanted to write a blog post about it. Social media can be hard to scroll through sometimes - it's mostly filled with happy faces, fun trips, and big accomplishments. But what you don't always see is the hard work and sacrifice that lead up to those very rewarding moments. ANYWAY - that rant is for another day, I just wanted to point that out, for when you start comparing your life to others based on what you see on social media. So...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I finally finally finally got my CPA license!! Oh my gosh, what a journey. I know my blog post about being a EY intern has gotten a ton of views from random fellow EY soon-to-be interns.. and thinking about it, I'm sure there aren't too many people that talk about accounting in their blogs hahaha (...I wonder why) so most of you won't care about this post, but if you're curious as to what a CPA is, or how people become CPA's (maybe 1 person), I'm dedicating this blog post to everything I now know about taking the CPA exam. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lets start off for people who aren't too familiar with accounting. CPA = Certified Public Accountant. At the big four (EY, PWC, Deloitte, KPMG) you need your CPA license to get promoted, and you eventually need it to sign off on tax returns, opinions etc. At PWC, I think you need your CPA to be promoted to Senior, but at EY you need your CPA to get promoted to a manager. Each state has different requirements to get your CPA. All require that you graduate college with a c</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ertain amount and level of Accounting classes</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> and have "experience" hours. Some states (like Utah) require you to have a Master's degree, while other states (like California) only require you to have a bachelor's degree. Also, a lot of my co workers went to law school and passed the Bar, so they take that rather than the CPA exams.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The CPA is four parts: Financial (FAR), Regulation (REG), Business (BEC), and Audit (AUD). My personal favorite was Reg, which is more "tax accounting" focused... go figure. There are open, and closed months where you can and can't take the test. During the year, it goes, two open months, and one closed month - So Jan/Feb are open, and March is closed. So you have to plan your studying and tests accordingly and sometimes the timing is annoying but oh well, that's how it is! Also, your tests only stay valid for 18 months, so if you don't finish taking all four parts within a 18 month time span, you have to re-take the tests you've already passed (this has happened to many many of my fellow accountant friends and it's such a bummer...). You also have to get something called a notice to schedule "NTS" to take your test - this allows you to take your test anytime within a 8 month window. So when getting your NTS, you have to decide which tests you are going to take - because when you get your NTS, you are also paying for the tests. So if you don't end up taking it, it's a waste of $200. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Oh, thats the other part - taking the test is pretty expensive. Each part of the test is $200. Then there is a $50 application fee, a fee every time you fail and have to re apply for a new notice to schedule etc. Then, once you pass, you have to take an Ethics test, which is about another $200, pay for an $50 application fee to become a CPA, get fingerprinted ($75), get your picture taken ($25), and become part of the AICPA - required at EY, I don't know about other firms ($310). Then the study material is super expensive. ($3,000k +)! The good news is, if you start at a big four, they pay for your study material, and they pay for all the fees, and the cost for you to take each test ONCE. So if you fail a test, and have to re-take it, you are paying $200 of your own money! I also decided to pay for note cards through Becker ($180)... soo it all adds up pretty fast! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Now to my personal journey taking the CPA test </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For some people, I'm sure the CPA was easier, and for some harder. I know some people who locked themselves in a room, studied and took all of them in 4 months. I had a bit of a longer, more torturous journey... hahaha. I started studying for the CPA while I was in the Master's program at the U. I didn't really know much about it... but they offered a class as part of your required classes that helped you take the test. I really had NO idea what I was doing or what to expect.. and I had just started dating Joram at the time, sooooo to be honest, I didn't put any time of effort into that class and it was kind of a waste for me haha (whoops). When I got my full time offer with EY - they gave me the <a href="http://www.becker.com/cpa-review?cl_vend=google&cl_ch=sem&cl_camp=251033295&cl_adg=18583504335&cl_crtv=73604871735&cl_kw=becker%20cpa&cl_pub=google.com&cl_place=&cl_dvt=c&cl_dvm=&cl_pos=1t1&cl_mt=e&cl_gtid=kwd-324295145&gclid=Cj0KEQiA6IC2BRDcjPrjm_istoUBEiQASrLz1vKzP3Ggj3SWhqTyMjjm6woL0jLWRK3yCs-SdQ9MjogaAnvR8P8HAQ">Becker CPA</a> test prep course. It's basically awful/torture... but it does REALLY good at helping you prepare for the test. I decided to take my first test (Audit) three weeks after I graduated.. It was torture. All my friends were travelling around, and I just wanted to hang out with Joram before I moved to California (and chill after I had just finished finals!). I had asked to start my job at EY in October (so that I could focus on studying, and have a few more months in UT before I moved to CA), but they started me in July and I was SO sad. But looking back, it was exactly what I needed and not starting work until October would have been rough. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyway, I took three weeks, probably from 10AM-3PM everyday (very distracted) did the practice questions, listened to the lectures... blah blah blah and I took the Audit test. After I walked out I was like WOAH, I failed for sure. Then I started studying for BEC. A few weeks later, I found out I got a 74% on my audit test. (You need a 75% to pass). sooo lame. So I hurried up and signed up for it again so it was "fresh in my mind"... then I took BEC the day before the fourth of July, and took a week off and Joram and I drove to California where he left me in California all by myself! I started work that week, and I took AUDIT again for the second time after 2 weeks of working.. My thinking was that I got a 74% the first time, so I just had to study a bit more and I'd be fine. I DIDN'T STUDY THAT WELL (obviously) and got a SECOND 74%!!!!!!!! It was torture. I cried and cried and cried being THAT close to passing it, but missing it by one point both times... soooo sad. On a brighter note, I passed BEC with a 86% so that was good! 1/4 of the way done! By then it was September! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I decided to start studying for FAR after that (the longest one) Especially while working, and I was travelling back and forth from Utah to see Joram and work trips, I didn't have much time to study. It took me about 8 solid hours on average to get through a chapter and FAR had 10 chapters.. and if I took too long in between, I would forget details, and have to re-study/memorize/learn it. Anyway, I decided to take it in October! October was fast approaching, and I didn't feel ready for it at all... but November was my busy season, and December was a closed month, and I would be with family a lot, and I had to take REG in Janurary before my Notice to schedule expired. Sooo... after I rushed through the material, and not feeling confident at all, I took FAR and found out weeks later that I got a 72%....... so close yet so incredibly far. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now November. Busy season filled up all my time and weekends in November, and then Joram and I got engaged.. and after that, I started studying for REG. I took almost all weekends in December (closed month) to study. By this point, I had taken 4 tests, and only passed once. So I decided that something needed to change. If getting my CPA was something I actually wanted, I needed to put in the time. I took REG in January and passed with a 95%!!! I think I was paranoid at that point and studied way TOO much haha. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After I passed REG, I was half way done, and I had a wedding in two months. I decided to take those two months, plan my wedding, spend time at the gym (lol), and enjoy them while not worrying about the CPA. We got married in March, went on our honeymoon, bought a car, moved in together in a new area, and I began studying AGAIN.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now it was tricky - at EY, if you pass all four of the CPA tests within a year of your start date, you get a $5,000 bonus. That left me with two months to take the two hardest tests. (June was a closed month) if I wanted the bonus... which obviously I did. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So our first two months of marriage were prettttyyyy boring. My one and only client at work was going through a huge transaction, so I was working 12+ hours on most days, and several weekends. My husband has to be in San Francisco by 6:30AM every day because he deals with stocks, and is on the New York Market timing... which meant he was waking up at about 5:30AM. SO, because I wanted the bonus, I had two months to take my two hardest tests. I woke up at 5:30AM everyday with my husband, and I went to work at the same time he did. Luckily I'm a morning person - so this part wasn't too bad. Plus I wanted SOME time with him so I didn't study nights, not that I had too much time to study nights getting home past 8PM. I would get to the office around 6:15AM and then study til about 9AM on days where I didn't have something urgent at work that I needed to finish first. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me tell you. Those two months were very hard for me. I was in busy season, working long hours, and on top of that, all of my free time (mornings and weekends) went to studying. I normally go to the gym in the morning, and as stupid as this sounds... not only was I exhausted but I felt so fat and just gross. My whole life was accounting. I</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> ended up deleting all social media apps to not torture myself with watching everyone doing fun things.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I took Audit at the end of April after studying three weeks, and I took FAR a month later on the absolute last day possible for me to get my bonus (May 30th). I month later I found out I passed Audit with a 90% and Far with an 80%. Hallelujah!! I passed all of them... it was seriously, one of the best feelings ever. I FINALLY had time after work where I could come home and just RELAX without thinking in the back of my mind which chapters I should be studying. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've been afraid to admit parts of this because sometimes I feel dumb that it took me an entire year... and that I failed the SAME test twice with a 74%... but hey, my life isn't perfect, and unfortunately, I'm not naturally brilliant at all areas in accounting. I know some people who are just completely gifted and so smart, and can pass it faster and without failing - although math and numbers have always been my strength but I've always had to work hard for my grades in college, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. And I know others who take years and many many failed tests. So yeah, however you want to see it, I passed the CPA exam!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After that, I worked on taking the ethics test, getting the experience hours verified, applying for the CPA, getting my college transcripts sent and most recently, seven months later, I got the best certificate ever in the mail :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And that was my journey to becoming a Certified Public Accountant. Sorry if it was SO boring, but as always... you don't </span><i style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">have</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> to read it :) Good luck to everyone taking the CPA test, or anyone who has a friend or significant other taking the test. If I could do it while planning a wedding, and during the middle of busy season... anyone can do it! Just takes a lot of time, determination, and patience. Let me know if you have ANY questions and I will do my best to answer them! </span></div>

PS!!!!!!!!!! Added this for fellow current CPA test takers: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">10 helpful hints for those currently taking the the CPA tests: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. BUY <a href="http://www.enounce.com/myspeed">Enounce Myspeed</a> this saved me. It is seriously a game changer. You can listen to the lectures on double speed and not fall asleep!! So worth the $30 it costs!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Don't let your NTS expire!! Know the dates! And after you take and pass a test... don't let them expire! 18 months!!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. After you apply to start taking the CPA Exams and get approved, you aren't done. You still have to apply for your NTS. So I got approved, and didn't realize I needed a NTS to sign up... and went to the Prometric site to sign up to take my test (2 weeks before) and couldn't. By the time I got my NTS (takes about a week) ALL spots were taken!! Sooo I was very delayed. </div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. IF YOU FAIL DON'T GIVE UP. Trust me... it's worth it. RETAKE IT ASAP!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. The Notecards - if they give you the chance to buy them, they aren't worth it. just use the digital ones that Becker has online. Just as good and saves you $200. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. KEY TO PASSING FOR ME: For people using Becker: Go through the chapters, get a blank white piece of paper and make a page of all of the KEY PHRASES (anytime you have to fill in those bubbles) and MEMORIZE the crap out of them. There is a reason they are so focused on in the material.</div>
7. THE MAIN REASON I FAILED AUDIT: I had no idea you could use the resource tabs in the simulation section to get answers!! Don't make my same mistake!! USE THEM! There was an entire section on knowing the word for word language for an unqualified opinion and I was guessing while it was in the simulation material ON THE TEST. So mad. Definitely could have got 1% more if I would have known that....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. If you are running out of time... focus on the simulations and practice questions and skip the lectures. LEARN the material in those. </div>
9. Keys for each test: <br />
<b>BEC </b>- focus on practice problems (simulations aren't worth as much) I hardly spent any time on them during the test and still got a 86%<br />
<b>FAR - </b>Practice Problems over and over and over. This one is tricky.. don't take too much time in between the 10 chapters or you will forget the material.<br />
<b>REG - </b>Simulations. I spent so much time on really learning the information in the simulations and doing them over and over until I felt good about them and it worked because I felt so good on the test.<br />
<b>AUD - </b>MEMORIZATION. take the different opinions, put them side by side and memorize the differences. Know all of the keys in Becker SPECIFICALLY. Don't just quickly scan through. Take time knowing the very specific details.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. If you have spare time and love torture... listen to the lectures while you drive in your car! It helped me :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
**If you haven't started your full time yet - TAKE THE TESTS BEFORE YOU START. It's so much easier to find the time to study! **If you have started full time - my biggest advice: It's a total mindset. It will be a sacrifice. These tests aren't like being in college where you go to class, take a test and always pass... it takes a lot of time. So definitely take them buuut just realize, it's gonna be hard work so go into it with that mindset. It's worth it!! </div>

Hello, 25! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every year... sometime around my birthday, I go through all my pictures over the past year... and just look at what has happened. I know a lot of people do this around the New Year, but I think its cool to do it every birthday. Anyway.... this year has been a little more exciting than the rest, with huge changes and so many exciting things that have happened! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last October, I had just moved to a place that I knew very little about. I had just graduated and just started my first "big girl" job at a big accounting firm. Last October, I had a long distance boyfriend and then mid October he decided to leave his family, his friends, his job, and school (he was about to graduate and he arranged with his teachers to finish his last few weeks/credits online), to move to be closer to me. THAT was the best birthday present I could have ever asked for.. besides the RING he gave me the next month when we got engaged!! So, during the past year, I went from dating long distance, to having a boyfriend in the same state as me, to engaged, to married! I spent the last year planning a wedding, getting used to my new job, taking (and passing!) the CPA exam, running my first half marathon, traveling with my new husband and just enjoying the beautiful places that we are lucky enough to live by! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rest of this blog is SUPER long and kind of a photo dump, but it goes through the year somewhat chronologically so I can better remember it :) Anyway, love you all! It's been a great year and I'm lucky enough to have such amazing friends and family... here's to being a quarter century old!! 25, can't wait to see what you have in store <3</div>

Here are some pictures we took when Joram first moved out to California. It was kind of funny, because we only dated long distance for three months, and we saw each other just about every other weekend... but this reunion was sooo much different than when he had come three months earlier and dropped me off and then went back to Utah.</div>

In January we went to Chicago for training at work! It was fun to be with my friends and explore the city... even though it was freeeezing cold!! Haha, I don't mind the cold for a week or two when I'm in 75 degree California all year long. </div>

In February we flew to Oregon and I got my endowments out. Joram's parents flew in and were able to go with me. And... my dad invited our whole ward as well, so it was so cool to have so much support and see so many loved ones. One of my favorite days :) </div>

Then we went to Tahiti for our honeymoon, it was the most perfect week and vacation I have ever been on. My husband is sooooo good at planning these things. And he COMPLETELY surprised me... he had all things sent to his work email, and didn't tell anyone. All i knew was that we were going somewhere warm and it was an island. </div>

All of April and May I spent working a lot, and studying for the CPA exam a lot. In May Joram's sister and brother in law came and visited us. It was a much needed break and Joram's sister, Alyssa actually married one of Joram's best friends so it's always a fun time hanging out with these guys. MAY was also great because I took my last test May 30th and then i was DONE! So we FINALLY had weekends and I didn't have to study every weekend so now we are able to go on adventures! </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">This is when I found out that I had passed the CPA exam! I passed two before I was married, I took a break for the two months before our wedding to focus on planning and working out (and it was the middle of busy season). And then after I got married, I woke up everyday at 5:30 (with Joram) and studied until my work started at 9.... AND I PASSED ALL 4! </span></div>

On September 12th, I got to go to Utah for an EY recruiting trip.. September 12th is a very special day for me. It's the day one of my most favorite people passed away. She was the ultimate role model of what I wanted to be when I grew up. So I spent the day remebering her, I went to the temple with my mother in-law and got to see my little brother who is at BYU!! I also got to spend time with Justin (who is Claudine's son, and my little "brother." It was a great great day.<br />

One of the main reasons this year has been so great is because of the knowledge we have that families are forever and for the knowledge of a loving God and Savior. I could write forever and ever about how thankful I am and how I believe Heavenly Father saved this one just for me... but I'll save that for another day.<br />

Since my blog is my picture journal, and my dad put so much time into my Oregon reception/Open house, I decided to dedicate a post to it... plus I love looking through our pictures because they just bring back the best feelings and get me all excited all over again.<br />

At our Wedding in Utah, we got most of our pictures taken at the temple... which makes sense since it is where we got married. So i LOVED our utah pictures buuuuut i LOVE these oregon pictures too!! We really lucked out on a GREAT Oregon spring day. I was sure it'd be raining but the rain Gods thought they'd give me a break since I survived my 12+ years of pure rain living in Oregon growing up and gave me the most perfect Oregon spring day. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> sooooo I'd like to let everyone know that I'm not the high maintenance one.... my dad pretty much made me have a whole second wedding in Oregon. :) which I'm totally thankful for! but I was fine with just seeing some of my friends at our house or in our backyard or something.... buuuut yeah... that didn't happen. We got the Scholls Lodge, and he went above and beyond. We had a second cutting of the cake, dance, sister singing our song etc. It was actually fun to re live the day a second time, but in a more laid-back-kind-of-way.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Anyway... just a quick post with a couple of the Oregon pictures. Once again thank you everyone SO much for all of the love and all of the support. It was fun being able to celebrate with both our Oregon and our Utah friends and family. It's been an awesome 4 months-ish and we are a little bit of all of our friends and family... so we really owe our successes and love to you. We love you! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
So I haven't blogged in over a year... and before that post it had been a year as well. To be honest.... this whole blogging thing wasn't really my jam (I blogged to try to fit in with my byu friends) buuuut lucky for you all (I know probably 99% of you don't <i>actually </i>care), I'm going to try to start blogging again because I am done with school and I JUST PASSED THE CPA TEST and I actually kinda like blogging! So...since I have a little free time and I don't live by most of my friends or family so I wanna keep everyone in the loop of my suuuuuper awesome life.... ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
When I was single, I used to always joke that only married people could blog cause they were boring or something, so naturally my first post back is about GETTING MARRIED! hehe (so stop reading if you hate weddings or don't care cus it's kind of a long post... but here goes!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">March 20th, 2015. I might be biased but, it was honestly the most perfect day. The weather was not too hot, and not too cold. The flowers on the trees had JUST blossomed, and Utah was completely perfect. When we were trying to decide on the date that we would get married.. we were trying to work around schedules, Joram's brother leaving on a mission, my family coming from Uruguay, my family's spring break etc. I always thought I wanted a summer wedding because any other time of the year the weather is so unpredictable... but when I found out that Joram's parents wedding anniversary was on a Friday, March 20th, Joram and I knew it had to be that day. I completely love Joram's parents and they are the best examples of what an incredible marriage is, so it was so cool to be able to be making the same promises, and covenants that they had made on the same day... 29 years earlier and made the day even more special!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Planning a wedding wasn't the easiest thing for me especially since I don't live in Utah or Oregon. I was also studying for the CPA test, and working 50-60+ hours a week, getting scuba certified, Joram's car had just broke (so we were both using mine - and I was getting rides with my friend Jessica to work, and he was picking me up - he had a long ride from SF to SJ) and we had to fly home to do so many things almost every weekend! Luckily, my mother in law planned pretty much everything for our Utah reception, (and my dad planned everything for our reception in Oregon, which will be on a different blog post). I would tell her what I wanted, and then she would figure it out and come to me and say, do you like this or this... and all I really had to do was pick. It was seriously awesome. (I wasn't much of a bridezilla) My mother and law and I have very similar taste... which made it really easy. And Joram has two sisters that got married, so she knew vendors and was the most organized wedding planner EVER. It was awesome, and I still owe her forever for all of the time and help she put into making it my dream wedding. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Joram on the other hand, didn't care about too many things, just "whatever made me happy" :) but he DID care that he and all of his groomsmen had awesome socks. Luckily we found some really great <a href="https://www.stance.com/">Stance</a> socks that went with the colors pretty well! I loved how these pictures turned out. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">CEREMONY: </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We got married in the Salt Lake City, LDS temple. We don't have pictures from within the temple but I'm actually so thankful because it gives you time to completely focus on each other. it was such an incredible feeling to see all of our friends and family in one room. I cried, I laughed, Joram was squeezing my hand so tight and had the BIGGEST smile the whole time. I got to see him in the mirrors that go for eternity. And we were sealed... to be together forEVER. what is better than that? really, nothing. Oh! quick story: It was actually a miracle that we were able to get married! (if you aren't LDS this might not make a lot of sense.. sorry!) But, before our wedding day... I went to get my temple recommend, Joram came with me, we talked to the bishop he gave me a living ordinance recommend for my endowments and he said it could also be used for the sealing. Joram had his recommend, so we thought we were good to go... and we talked to the bishop together so we assumed everything was great. Little did we know he needed a living ordinance recommend for HIM also! so when we got to the temple on the morning of our wedding, they wouldn't let us get married until Joram was interviewed by his bishop... who lived in California and was on a plane ride for a business trip ... after trying to get a hold of our bishop, we waited for about 20 minutes and they told us his stake president was on his way over. We were both like... ??? How!? from California!? Long story short... his church records hadn't been moved to our California Palo Alto ward yet, and his records were still in his salt lake ward and his old stake president was working ACROSS THE STREET. So he came over, asked Joram a couple of questions and by a MIRACLE we were on our way to get sealed. What a testimony to me that Heavenly Father was watching out for us. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We decided to have our wedding reception at <a href="http://www.hgardens.com/">Highland Gardens</a>. When Joram and I were dating, we went to one of his friends weddings... and I remember thinking it was the most beautiful venue, and I knew I wanted that to be where I had my reception.... so we made it happen! Its a garden nursery, so you feel like its outdoors, but still good for any weather (perfect for spring or winter weddings when it could be raining) and it was conveniently just down the street from Joram's parents house! It turned out incredible. And Joram's mom, Deanna, put the most beautiful and thoughtful details into it.</span></div>

<b>LUNCHEON: </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to make our wedding as much "us" as possible, yet still kept it very traditional. During our luncheon, my sister sang "Can't help falling in love" she has an INCREDIBLE voice. We had a trivia where each table answered some fun facts about us. We gave Joram's parents a picture that we recreated of their wedding, and my dad gave the most beautiful speech that left me in tears, I love that man so much. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wanted to keep my bouquet super springy. I loved how it turned out. I see girls with giant bouquets and I don't even know how they can hold the 20 pound thing. But I've also seen some gorgeous huge bouquets... it's cool to see every brides styles! So my bouquet was pretty simple, and I loved it. I'm actually holding the throw bouquet in the picture below, so my wedding bouquet was slightly bigger, and just beautiful. Since I had 10+ bridesmaids, I kept their flowers pretty simple and I loved how it turned out! And the centerpieces... our flower lady, Pam did an incredible job! </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">MAKEUP: </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I went on a trip to Sun Valley, ID and I met this girl named Nicolette Ballif, she is one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever met. She does hair and makeup and is amazing at it. I know almost NOTHING about makeup. I try to wear some kind of blush if I'm trying to be fancy and lipstick drives me crazy. I got my hair done once from this girl who had awful hair... (I don't know how I trusted her) long story short, it turned out awful... and I thought after, duh, why would I trust her when.. I don't even like her hair at all. So after that, my theory has been you have to like the style of the person doing your makeup/hair. So I decided I trusted Nicolette and told her to do whatever she wanted to my face, with a natural springy look.. and I think she did an awesome job :)</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">BRIDESMAIDS:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Sooooooo I had 14 bridesmaids (15 including my cardboard cutout of my sister lol). Yeah.. it was awesome. I guess it's not typical to have that many but hey it was MY wedding, and I wanted all of my best friends to be a special part of it! SO I did it my way. I think of a bridesmaid as someone who will be your friend forever... and I love all of these girls SO much. Since I got married at 24 (yes that's old at byu), I had to rotate who my best friend was through college (cus they would all leave me to get married) so I have multiple best friends and new family and new cousins and I just wanted everyone to be a part of it... so I'm glad I ditched the imaginary wedding rules and did things my way. Freaking love these girls so so much. </span></div>

I just think they all have gold rings. Hahaha so Joram didn't have a choice :) He designed my ring at <a href="http://www.rockymountaindiamond.com/">Rocky Mountain Diamond Company</a>! They make custom rings, and it's exactly how I wanted mine! (We also got his ring from there) I love these pictures our photographer took of our rings! </span></div>

<b>DADDY DAUGHTER/FIRST DANCE: </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my dad so so much, he is my very best friend so naturally this is one of my favorite part of most weddings I've attended. It's so sweet to see dads give their daughter away, and it always leaves happy tears in my eyes. My dad surprised me for our dance. Our song that we've always planned on was "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle... it was <i>our </i>song. So naturally I went to dance with him, thinking that was the song... but he took the microphone and told me he had a different song that we would be dancing to.. "What heaven sees in you." The lyrics talk about your "white dresses" blessing, baptism, and then marriage... and what heaven sees in you. and my SISTER sang it beautifully. Then when it got to the part of the wedding long white dress, Joram cut in and I ended the dance with my new husband. Naturally, I cried the entire time. Probably one of my favorite parts of the whole day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It turned out exactly how I wanted it! One of my favorite parts of weddings is watching the cake be cut and usually smashed into the others face. I love it because every couple does it differently. Some brides are completely against it and threaten their husbands ahead of time and other couples go ALL out. I literally saw a brides face get SLAMMED into a cake once. It was SO sad and SO hilarious. We went for the gentle yet slightly messy approach. Haha. So awesome. </span></div>

During previous weddings, I avoided these at all costs. At one of my best friends wedding, my dad actually paused the whole thing and called me out because I wasn't standing in the group of girls trying to catch it and he was laughing and yelling at me like "get up there... you need this!!!!!!" ...so embarrassing.. hahah :) Liz Lin caught my bouquet and she got proposed to shortly after so.... it must be true! She was the next one to get married! Congrats Liz!</div>

It was seriously magical walking through a line of all our friends and family, with amazing weather after a completely incredible day. and our photographer got incredible shots of it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Joram Brian Jensen. I never knew I could love someone so much. He makes me laugh, he's smart, he loves sports, he loves to travel and do fun things, he's so freaking attractive, he loves his family and the gospel, and he treats me so well. Before I met him, I had dated a lot. I broke hearts, I got my heart broken and dated some pretty great guys... but I remember being so frustrated because for whatever reason, it just wasn't right with any of them. After marrying Joram, I am so thankful Heavenly Father saved him just for me. We have pretty different personalities, but we are also very similar, so he balances me out and is my best friend and the best partner I could have asked for in this journey called life. There's something I can't describe in the way that he looks at me, that I just know that I've known him longer than our time together so far in life. And sometimes (all of the time) I just stare at him... and wonder how I got so lucky. I could write for hours about how much I love him... and I love him more and more everyday so I'm excited to see how our journey together unfolds. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You made it to the end! I probably (definitely) overused the words "amazing, incredible, beautiful, gorgeous" etc but there is no other way to describe our day then with those adjectives! I will hopefully do another post about my Oregon open house/reception which my dad did an incredible job with as well! Joram and I are now happily living in the Bay area. He works for Merrill Lynch in San Francisco and I work for EY in San Jose so we live right in between in Newark, California. We are loving every bit of this new journey and I look forward to sharing more of our fun adventures. Thanks for reading this incredibly long post! They won't all be this long, I promise! </span></div>

So, if you look through my blog, the last time I posted was a year ago. I don't feel like I'm a good enough writer to eloquently write my thoughts, so I try to limit myself. And I especially don't really like writing about politics or controversial things... but, two weeks ago, I was studying for one of my tests, and I got really distracted looking at blogs and posts about this whole, "Ordain Women" movement.<br />
<br />
I'm no expert, but basically, in the church I belong to, <a href="http://mormon.org/">The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints</a>, we believe that the priesthood, the power of God, is given to males. If you don't know what the priesthood is, or don't know why we have the priesthood today, I encourage you to click on the link and search it and learn more about it. Anyyyyyway, the women (and men) in this ordain women movement believe that this power should be given to women as well as males.<br />
<br />
Basically to sum it up simply, they believe that within our church there is gender inequality and that women aren't treated as equals to males. They believe that they should be treated the "same" as men.<br />
<br />
When I first started reading about it, I got really upset. This kind of stuff annoys me a lot. Whyyy do these women think they know better than God? God gave <i>men</i> the priesthood for a reason. In our church, Women and Men are absolutely equal, but we have different roles and gifts. Second, I'veee never felt like I was inferior to a man. ever. I've been a part of this church my whole life, and if anything, the principles we learn make women <i>superior</i> to men if anything. Third, men can't use the priesthood for themselves... and women can have the same power as them through faith. Personally, I think a woman's prayer for her sick child is just as powerful as a priesthood blessing. Lastly, and this is me being lazy, but having the priesthood is a huge responsibility, so...... yeah.<br />
<br />
As I was on my rant and about to start picking fights with anyone I could find on the matter (not really, but in my mind I was)... I texted Stacy to vent about how annoying it was. She gave me some advice that I would like to share:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp18qiTeY46GvjDMOoQun_ZiQZYrVXPfxpiRMRKz_DO317QnijdvTxHPjTR1qDf-nWWsON3FbKGphSrpR8sefSuYjgyi5L0KDQypUiaqD0RsM29dFUAUutL60va3xL31_5Ilwoc7nqAQ4/s1600/stac.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp18qiTeY46GvjDMOoQun_ZiQZYrVXPfxpiRMRKz_DO317QnijdvTxHPjTR1qDf-nWWsON3FbKGphSrpR8sefSuYjgyi5L0KDQypUiaqD0RsM29dFUAUutL60va3xL31_5Ilwoc7nqAQ4/s1600/stac.png" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I seriously couldn't have said it better myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One more thought, is as I was talking to Joram about it, and as I was going off about how annoying it was, he reminded me that we shouldn't put our thoughts and energy in things that don't better us. With conference coming up this weekend, there are going to be people protesting outside of temple square, and maybe even some negative comments... it is a good reminder that we need to remember that they are children of God as well. They understand things differently than we do, and negative thoughts and actions usually do more harm than good. So don't let your thoughts and actions go against what we learn from our Savior Jesus Christ, to love one another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tried to keep this blog post short, and to the point. Those are just my thoughts on the whole issue that I wanted to share. If you disagree with me, that's your prerogative, and I'll still love you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With that said, I hope everyone has a fabulous conference weekend. If you have never watched conference before, or don't know what it is, check it out! Saturday 10am and 2pm, and Sunday at 10 am and 2pm as well. You can watch it online at <a href="http://lds.org/">lds.org</a>. Conference is one of my most favorite times of the year. How amazing is it that we can listen to revelation directly from God for us for right NOW. You can bet I'll be watching it. And if I go, I'll be wearing a dress, not pants (not that it matters what you go in ;))</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b>TODAY IS MY LAST DAY OF CLASSES AT BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjot8qjAYWHq1XgV8rNO4MQQXeeGNxO1F_2C1flIeVdP1C_VUCrdU1-ke_4kFidIJGf5sTlUexvwHYFeIhVEvy3H7-TafFn4dSdWTcg1F_hCsaruam4A2qF5ECRUszbHMPHecHjUFUT5xg/s1600/picstitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjot8qjAYWHq1XgV8rNO4MQQXeeGNxO1F_2C1flIeVdP1C_VUCrdU1-ke_4kFidIJGf5sTlUexvwHYFeIhVEvy3H7-TafFn4dSdWTcg1F_hCsaruam4A2qF5ECRUszbHMPHecHjUFUT5xg/s320/picstitch.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I don't know whether to cry or scream or do one hundred somersaults down a giant hill.<br />
This morning was absolutely hilarious. Liesy and I were getting ready together. We listened to graduation by vitamin C, and the emotions were absolutely bipolar. We'd be jumping up and down and then crying and then laughing and then who knows what. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People keep asking
me if I am nervous to graduate. You know what? I am a little nervous, I am also SO excited,
happy, sad, scared, and proud. I made it through college, and through one of
the hardest programs at BYU. So big pat on the back for me! Next year, I am
moving up to Salt Lake City and I got accepted into the accounting grad program
where I will learn to master accounting. Pretty cool huh? I think it’ll
be a good change. A couple miles up north, close enough to be able to come back
to what I am familiar with, but far enough to change it up a little bit. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I
think with most change comes so many different emotions. And not because the
next step or change in my life will be bad. It is just going to be <i>different</i>. We talked about change the
other day in my business strategy classes. As humans, we tend to resist change.
We go to class: sit in the same spot. When we go to parties: we talk to the
same people. We are drawn to what we are comfortable with. We get into a state
where we are comfortable, and even though experiencing something new could be
good, it puts us out of our comfort zone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even if things in our life aren't going well, if we make a
change, we could have a whole new set of problems. At least if we keep up the
same mediocre life, we<i> know</i> the problems
we have, and we are comfortable with them. But you know what, with change, we
also could become something so much better. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If there is anything I’ve learned from the past four years,
it is that we cannot become better without change. So if change makes me better, why is change hard? Because it puts me out of my comfort zone. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A lot of the time, things
don’t make sense in the moment. But when you look back, it’s amazing to see how God is always a part of the biggest transitions/changes in my life. He always finds a way to take care of me and give me exactly what I need. I've been particularly lucky with my roommates, and best friends. Heavenly Father literally sent Stacy to me when I had no friends. Or Cassi letting me stay at her house when we had talked like 3 times. And Caitlin, Chanelle, and my roommates now,
Anneliese and Rachel. They’ve been exactly the people I’ve needed, for the transitions and changes I was going through and to just be examples to me and it’s so cool to
think about.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Change can be hard sometimes. Change can come in all different ways. Moving, graduating, losing someone close to you, etc. I've learned that it is okay to have a bad day. It is okay to take a break, as
long as you get yourself up and eventually focus on the blessings that you<i> do</i>
have. Even though I'm freaking out a little bit right now because this part of my life is coming to a close, I know that everything is going to be awesome, and I'm sooooo excited.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This clip by Elder Busche is one of the coolest clips and honestly makes me feel like I can get through and achieve just about anything. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ANYWAY. Life is SO cool. There are so many opportunities and things to achieve and do. I just wish there was enough time to do everything and learn everything. We can't plan always plan every part of our lives. Life happens. As much as I try to plan out my life, it has a way of surprising me, but I've learned that those curve balls usually are accompanied by something much cooler then anything I had planned for myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So keep moving forward. Be better every single day. Don't be afraid to try something new.</div>

<br />
Soooooo in celebration of my absolute favorite holiday, I'm writing a blog post! I know, it's a Christmas miracle. It's been awhile, but this blog needs some love.<br />
<br />
Okay, it's not actually my<i> favorite</i> holiday, but seriously, I don't know why so many people hate Valentine's day. What's wrong with pretty much being forced to tell the people you love, that you love them. In South America, its known as the day of love and friendship. Hopefully, everyone has someone they can call a friend. Call them up, let them know you are there for them and you love them! There are so many amazing people in this world. <b><i>One of the greatest things in life is the ability to love</i></b>. You can never have or give too much love, right? I mean, I was blessed with the gift of love.... seriously though. I love things/people/everything, pretty easily. My kids are in for it, because I will smother them. Hopefully they apreciate it when they are older though hahaha. Also, whenever my friends ask me what they should say to a boy that they are interested in while they are texting him, my response every time: "just tell him you love him." Too much? Hahahaha<br />
<br />
As fun as <a href="http://brittanyjmolina.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-love-note-post-went-viral-what-my.html">last Valentine's day</a> was, it wasn't that fun. But, I did learn a lot about myself from the experience. <b>First, </b>(and based off of previous years) I learned that Valentine's day isn't really my luckiest day. It's more of a Friday the 13th for me.<br />
<b>Second, </b>I learned that I need to be a good example, in the way I talk, in the way I dress, and in the way I treat others. People notice what you do, and sometimes you don't realize how one action or fb post can be taken.<br />
<b>Third,</b> I learned that it is important to be true to yourself, people who don't even know you will say whatever they want about you, and it's important to have confidence in yourself and don't take strangers criticism too seriously.<br />
<b>Overall,</b> Looking back to a year ago, I have learned and grown so much and I'd like to think I'm a better person. Starting out this year, <b><i>I made it a goal to let my faith be bigger than my fears</i></b>. I told myself if I had a worthwhile goal, whether in dating, in school, with my family, anything - that I would pursue it with faith, and give it everything I have. One of my biggest problems is that I'm not patient. I think I need to know things NOW. I used to worry a lot, but I've really learned how to be more patient with myself, and really trust that if I'm doing what I'm supposed to, that the Lord will guide me to where I'm supposed to be.<br />
<br />
I don't want to make this post too long. So I'll wrap it up here.<br />
<br />
For those of you who hate Valentine's day, (usually the lonely ones (haha the word lonely is <i>the worst.</i>...)) take the time to just find someone you really do love. A parent, a sibling, a friend, a potential lover, and tell them you love them. Because let's be real, Valentine's day is just a normal day. Don't take it too seriously. And if really gets you upset... my best advice, stay off of social media... and eat a lot. A lot of chocolate. As for me, this year, I'm just going to stay clear of any cubicals in the Tanner building.<br />
<br />

I COUDNT BE MORE EXCITED. I looked at how many times I've listened to it since I bought it on Monday... 122 times so far. yeaaaaah... I'm pretty sure my roommates hate me. Hahahaha oh well. It will continue to stay on repeat until this week is over. </div>

Honestly. Such a great night. I've never had a surprise party. It was funny because when I started to walk up the stairs... I knew something was weird when ALL the lights were off. And then I just stood there for a solid 5 seconds, in the dark, seeing outlines of everyone........ before someone yelled surprise. haha awesome. </div>

At least you have the afterlife. Late night thoughts.<br />
Haha, but really.<br />
<br />
I don't write my thoughts on my blog very often, I usually write pretty dry, boring "this is my life" sort of stuff. Buuuut I've been thinking a lot and for some reason I really want to write about this topic: Being a 21 year old LDS girl and being single.<br />
<br />
Twenty-one. You're finally an actual adult (18 doesn't count. You can't even buy alcohol). Being LDS, 21 years old for a boy means that you're probably just coming home from your mission. Being 21 for someone that isn't LDS/Mormon, means you can now drink (legally), and you're probably looking to graduate soon, get an internship, do something completely random... and probably even start your career. Being a 21 year old LDS female means that you are probably married.... and should maybe even start thinking about having some kids.<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: For all of you girls that are 21 (or younger) and are married... I'm not a hater. Most of my really good friends are now married, and in all honesty, I could not be happier for them. Getting sealed to your best friend for forever is an amazing gift/accomplishment. And I'm happy you've found that special someone.<br />
<br />
Also, this post is me rambling, so you can skip to the end where I have compiled a summary if you'd prefer.<br />
<br />
Moving on.<br />
<br />
This past year has been weird for me.<br />
My family has started making jokes about signing me up for the Mormon Bachelorette....<br />
and<br />
So many people keep asking me, "so... you seem like a put together, normal girl, why <i>don't</i> you have a boyfriend."<br />
<br />
Okay. I usually take that one of two ways.<br />
<br />
1. You are asking me what is wrong with me... because if I was "normal," I'd be well on my way towards my goal of eternal progression<br />
2. You are being just the sweetest, and think I should have been swept up by now.<br />
<br />
Well. First, being single really isn't the worst thing in the world. Trust me. Second, I've never really felt weird about not having a boyfriend. I don't want to sound arrogant, or conceited, but I know I could have forced someone to love me if I really wanted to ;) But after having that question asked to me so many times... I started thinking about it more...<br />
<br />
No, nothing is wrong with me. And I don't really feel the need to explain why I don't/haven't had a boyfriend, because ultimately, I love the way Heavenly Father is leading my life. I wouldn't change any of my experiences or choices and I have complete faith in his plan for me. I know I'll meet the right boy when it's supposed to happen. It won't have to feel rushed or forced. I think a lot of kids at BYU (who aren't married) get ready to leave or graduate and just panic. And try to force or rush something.... WHAT AM I GOING TO DO AWAY FROM THIS PLETHORA OF POTENTIAL FECS (future eternal companions).<br />
<br />
Really though... the worst thing you can do is rush into a decision that is going to last for... oh, just the rest of eternity.<br />
<br />
I mean, what if the person turns out to be a complete psycho.... well that sucks. You are<i> married</i>. Not only married but sealed. That isn't really something to take lightly. You can't just <i>break up. </i><br />
<br />
Having a relationship is great... I mean, I'm not a pro. I haven't had a boyfriend for a little while... but I've dated quite a bit. And it's cool to find someone you just <i>gets you</i>. I'm not opposed to having a boyfriend or settling down. It just hasn't been right yet. And I'm not about to force it.<br />
<br />
Being LDS, and going to BYU, in all honestly, there is a big pressure to get married. It isn't a bad thing, at all. But it's there, and it's really really hard for some people. Interesting to watch how people handle it/talk about it.<br />
<br />
It's okay to talk about, complain about... whatever. Because let's be real, most students at BYU think about getting married and hopefully most people are dating... which ultimately leads to getting married.... but I just feel so sad for the people who get so worked up about it.<br />
<br />
I've met way too many girls that are honestly just distraught. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?" "I'm never going to get married" "I'm not pretty enough, or funny enough, or smart enough"<br />
<br />
and then there's the, "eveeeeryoone is married but me."<br />
<br />
Okay, I'm guilty of having said that but when you think about it<i>. Everyone</i> isn't married. Sure, 50% of BYU's graduating class last year was married, but that means 50% wasn't.<br />
<br />
Some of my friends even <i>with</i> boyfriends feel the pressure. They can't break up with them because... then what. Go on a mission? Leave BYU not married? What will I ever do with my life if <i>this</i> doesn't work out right now. I can't be alone... even though I know it isn't right. Even one guy that I talked to would talk about his girlfriend like.. "yeah, she keeps pressuring me to get married, I just don't really know. I'm not that excited about it." (they got married four months later) Freak. If my boyfriend said that about me....... I'd hope he'd break up with me. Be excited? Too much to ask?<br />
<br />
The other thing that really gets me is hearing parents talk about it. I was listening to a conversation the other day about a mom talking about her two daughters. The older one was in DC and had started her career, and the younger daughter had recently got married. It went something like: "Yes! We couldn't be happier for [younger daughter], her and her husband are doing great and are absolutely the cutest." "And [older daughter] is doing great. She's so smart. She's got a lot going for her. We are really hoping and praying that she just finds someone.... I don't know what is wrong."<br />
<br />
What the heck? It's funny since I'm an accounting major, so I know a couple of really awesome girls that have graduated and are moving to start their careers. Almost all of them are not opposed to settling down, but are a little intimidated to leave Provo not married.<br />
<br />
It's kind of sad that when girls graduate and start careers, and aren't married, a lot of LDS people think what a shame... or that they are some big career power seeking woman and that they shouldn't be doing that. Really? They are doing such cool things. They just haven't found the right guy, cut them some slack.<br />
<br />
In the end, I don't really know what the point was to this post... I mostly just rambled. But let me sum up what I was trying to say.<br />
<br />
1. It's okay to be single. It's okay if it takes a little bit longer to find that special someone. Have a little bit of faith in Heavenly Father's plan for you. My favorite scripture, (which has been my favorite since my sophomore year of high school) Proverbs 3:5-6, just gets me <i>every </i>time. To sum it up: Trust in the Lord, and he's got your back. He will direct your path. He has a plan for everyone.<br />
<br />
2. Do not try to force something. This is a pretty big decision. Be smart about it.<br />
<br />
3. Never ever settle. Find someone that makes you better. That challenges you. That makes you excited about life. But at the same time, don't be too picky either... The grass isn't always greener on the other side.<br />
<br />
most of all....<br />
<br />
4. Please girls (and guys I guess), don't ever feel like you aren't good enough. Nothing is wrong with you. Just because someone else is on another path doesn't mean that your path isn't right for you. Everyone's plan is different. Your time <i>will </i>come. If you want a relationship, or to get married. Go out. Meet people. Try to find it. If you're doing your part, Heavenly Father will do his. (easier said than done right :))<br />
<br />
Good luck to every one out there looking for that special someone. Love is a battlefield. Go on and fight your little hearts out.<br />
<br />

PS. School starts in two weeks? What? Crazy how time flies. Crazy that I'm a senior in college. I can't wait to see what this year has in store.<br />

Sorry I'm a horrible blogger. I never write, and when I do, I do it wrong. I don't post for months and then I cram everything onto one post. But, don't read it if you don't want to!<br />
<br />
This post is dedicated to my whole summer in Oregon, my main focus was going to be my internship, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up including everything. Get ready, get set, go.<br />
<br />
So if you know me at all, you probably know that I'm majoring in accounting and I love it. But here's something that not a lot of people know.<br />
<br />
One. I've wanted to major in accounting for as long as I can remember. At least since middle school. I have always been really organzied and I have always loved math, so people always told me that I should go into accounting.<br />
<br />
Two. I remember when I was in high school, I got to travel around Europe. While we were in London, my dad wanted to go to all of these cool sites. Guess where I wanted to visit. The world head quarters of Ernst & Young. Hahah. Kind of weird, it's all good though. Go ahead and judge.<br />
<br />
SO this summer I have had an internship with Ernst & Young, one of the big four accounting firms. I can't believe I'm actually working for Ernst & Young. For a lot of you, it might not seem like a big deal. But it's been my goal since I was in high school, so for it to actually be happening makes me feel so grown up and old.<br />
<br />
For those of you interested in working for Ernst & Young: be excited about it. They are a great firm, and they love to see someone who is excited to work for them and can have a positive attitude. My interview was actually awesome. I interviewed with a manager, senior manager, and a partner. They were all super nice and it was more of a conversation then an intensive drilling process. They made me really excited to work for them.<br />
<br />
It's kind of weird blogging about work, because I know anyone can read it. But it's such a fun part of my life right now. And also, like I always say, my blog is more for me to remember than anyone else. That's why I always put so many pictures. So I never forget what an awesome life I live.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
ANYWAY. Ernst & Young is the best. </div>

So.... I made this video. It pretty much sums up everything. I feel like I got so lucky with the other interns. They were awesome... and they put up with my constant picture/video obsession. I really wanted to do a remake to "Call me maybe" since everyone was doing their own versions.... Luckily they humored me and played along :) I miss them already.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ps. This is the first video I've ever really made! I'm pretty proud of it... even though it has a really bad music edit in the middle where it goes to the end of the song... ha oh well :)</div>

So. This is me outside of the office. Stoked out of my mind. After the first day, I knew this summer was going to be awesome. I love the feel of Portland and I loved the other professionals and interns that I met. Great start. We pretty much just went over the schedule, and what we would be doing. We got a tour of the office and we got set up to leave for our training.<br />

SEATTLE. So, after our orientation at the Portland office, they sent us to Seattle for training! Jessica McCord came and picked me up from the airport. Man I love that girl. She starts with Deloitte this summer in New York! Oh, she's the best. Anyway.The Seattle office is beautiful. We got our laptops, badges, backpacks, and my favorite part.... our EY email. That was probably one of my favorite parts of my internship. Sending e-mails with the EY signature at the bottom. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;">So true. Not only with our careers, but in everyday life. If you want something, you will do anything to make it happen. If you don't want it, you'll make excuses or just not put in the time, or effort it takes to actually make it happen. </span></span></div>

Okay, so I HAVE to tell the Louie Bottega story. Training in LA was perfect. The people were friendly, the training was fun (and useful), and the food we ate was aweeeesome. On one of our nights in LA, a big group of us went to Louie Bottega, a popular restraunt in LA. I was pretty full already... we had been eating SO much, all week. So that night, all I honestly wanted was water and berries. When we got to the restaurant, I knew I would have to order something else also... I didn't want to be thaaaat weird, so I saw that they had octopus. I knew I wasn't thaaat hungry, but I of course wanted to try it. Why not. And then I wanted my berries. All of the Portland interns were making fun of me... because I was honestly so set on my berries (I don't think I've ever been so set on a food my entire life). So after looking over the menu, I concluded that everything was really fancy, but there weren't any fruit options. When the waiter came over, I asked him if they had fruit, or berries... he pointed to a meal that came with some berries on the side. He told me he could see what he could do. He took everyone else's order and then before he left, I called him back over. And I asked him how big the bowl of berries was going to be, because I wanted a lot. He just laughed at me, and said that he would give me a biiiig bowl of berries.<br />
<br />
A different waiter came back over 10 minutes later with this average size bowl of berries... so. it was good, but I was like common, I'll do anything to have like 4 of these bowls. The original waiter comes back over about five minutes later, and sees my bowl. (I hadn't started eating yet, because I was waiting for everyone else). He looks at my berries and says, "Oh no no no, what it this?!" He leaves for a minute... and comes back with probably the biggest fullest bowl of berries I have ever seen. <br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure for that night, he was my soulmate. Because he knew what was in my soul. Hahahah that sounds so weird. But you really have no idea how much that bowl of berries meant to me that night. In my mind, I was jumping up and down for fiftteen minutes. I was the berriest happiest girl in the whole world. <br />
<br />
And now you all probably think I am the weirdest person in the world, that's fine. <br />

The week of training was awesome. I love hearing professionals talk and learning about their careers, and how they have made it to the level they are at. It's cool to think that the senior managers, partners etc, didn't always know exactly what they were doing, they started just like us. I think the coolest thing that I realized is how much control we have over our own lives. At this age, I have the power to do whatever I want with my life. I can dedicate my life to school, go to an ivy league for a graduate program, I can drop out of school, I can be a hobo on the side of the road, I can change my career, I can move back home, I can backpack around Europe.... my future is 100% what I make of it. It's kind of an intimidating thought, but at the same time, it is absolutely awesome.</div>

Intern Connect Day! So. Every year, the firm does a day where every office gets together and volunteers at a local organization. So, for interns, they have us take a day and volunteer. This year, I was in charge of planning it for the Portland office. It was great! We went to Schoolhouse Supplies, we had a tour, and we helped prepare backpacks to get filled with school supplies for children who can't afford them. I think just this one day shows how great Ernst & Young is. Not many companies will pay you for a full day to go out and volunteer. </div>

Well yeah. Basically my summer with EY was awesome. Ernst & Young is such a great company. I had my final interview yesterday and it looks like I'll be back next summer! (I did the Horizon internship - which is a two year internship). So next summer I'll get to go to Seattle, Orlando, and Chicago! It's crazy to think. That will mean, just through Ernst & Young, I have been to Seattle, Portland, LA, New York, Chicago, and Florida. How cool. I can't even wait.<br />

To start out my adventures outside of work, we will kick it off with a video of my family that basically sums us all up. Hahaha. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">To be honest, I don't really like going to movies, (I can't sit still for that long unless its one like Tangled) but my family does. So we went to see some cool ones this summer. The best was Brave in 3D. My favorite part was at the end when the little girl said, "Our fate lies within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it." Which goes back to what I was talking about earlier. Believe in yourself and you can do anything.</td></tr>

Full of hiking, tubing, karate chopping. Hahaha. We all went horseback riding last time we were here except no one wanted to do that this time. I think it's because when you picture horseback riding, you picture the horse running wild though forrests with you on it's back. Not being guided though a trail with a trainer. Hahah. Maybe one day. <br />

AND THIS ONE GOT MARRIED! One of my best friends in the whole world. Christine Staley (now Kelly...). I just remember during high school, driving to her house before school and dragging her out of bed forcing her to come to seminary yelling "IM NOT GOING THERE ALONE. YOU WILL GO TO BYU. AND YOU WILL BE MY ROOMMATE." Roommates our freshman year, and roommtes our sophomore year, and then I left to South America, and when I came back, she was a gonner :) But. She'll always be one of my favorite people, and I'm so glad I got to be a part of her wedding. I got to throw her bachelorette party and see her when she came out of the temple....<br />

Yeah, I'll admit it. I cried. Don't judge. It was just so cool to see Christine get married. When her and Steve came out of the temple, it was such a cool feeling. I've known her since middle school, and I couldn't be happier for Steve and Christine. <br />

I could not say enough good things about my dad. Anyone who knows me well enough thinks its funny how close me and my dad are. We talk on the phone every single day, probably 2 or 3 times a day. I talk to him about everything. Before and after tests, dates, class, driving home, for advice. Everything. I love that my dad really listens and remembers what I say. He's really good at remembering people too. So, he basically knows all my friends just because he hears so much about them, and if I bring them up 2 months later, he usually remembers. It's also funny because my dad loves Facebook, so when he sees me tagged in a picture with someone, sometimes he will ask me about them. He is my best friend. </div>

This is me and my dad when I was little. My dad loves his bean bags. Whenever he watches tv, he is always on the floor, I don't think he believes in sitting on the couch. </div>

My dad came down a few times last year to visit me in Provo (he misses me way too much). Here's us after I picked him up from the SLC airport! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could honestly write a novel about how much I love and respect my dad. All my friends that meet my dad love him. For those of you who don't know him, here's what makes him my hero.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dad was born in Uruguay. He grew up with basically nothing. Whenever he talks about growing up, it always seems as though he always knew he would come to the US. His mom almost cries about it now because he has an american name: Henry. Not Enrique, Henry. My uncles name is Carlos, and my aunts name is Ana Maria. So my grandma thinks he was totally american and shes the one to blame. I think it was destiny. He came to the US, married my mommy, had me (his prized possession), graduated from Northwestern University (my dads a genius). Had the rest of the fam (not as cool as me... kidding) And he's had some cool jobs but he works for Nike now, and he is the man. He is the smartest man I know, he knows random facts about evvvverrrything. He knows five languages and he knows exactly what to say to make you laugh </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am amazed at what my dad has done with his life. He is the only one from his family in the US, he came from not even being able to afford a ride on the bus to school, to graduating from an Ivy league school, to the amazing man he is today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm thankful to have such an involved, loving, caring, funny, concerned, cool, thoughtful dad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I went for an internship with Partners In Leadership and now I can't believe I'm already packed up and gone from California, where does the time go!?<br />
<br />
I guess I'll start from the beginning, and as usual. My time here will be illustrated with pictures. I'm sure there is some kind of limit.. I guess I'm about to find out.<br />

Went to my first MLB game! I love the angels. Jeff got me to love them in high school so I was really excited to see the stadium and watch a game and guess what... it wasn't just<i> any</i> Angel's game. But we went when Jared Weaver pitched a no hitter! It was way cool to be a part of. Even though I had no idea what a no hitter was before this... hahahah </div>

I'm pretty sure I have about 2000 pictures of Jessica in my phone. She's honestly the cutest girl and her mother buys her the cutest clothes. Half the time I'm just way jealous of her wardrobe. But I love this picture. Jessica lost a bunch of teeth while I was there. And the tooth fairy gave her $5 each tooth. So she got pretty rich. I almost started popping out my teeth so I could have that tooth fairy... </div>

(that was the bank- it was protected by a crab). One had black shells, one had white shells, one had rainbow shells, one had rocks, one had full shells there were more too. Haha it was so fun. </div>

<i>Favorite part: </i>We went to a BBQ and then we went to Huntington. I went with some of my friends who are selling pest control. As we were walking into the BBQ, I looked at my friend Bryce and said, "I'm not going to be the only girl right?" And he was like "no! I'm sure there are other girls coming." I walk in, and it's me with 30 other summer sales guys. No other girls. I mean, why wouldn't that have been my favorite part..</div>

<i>Favorite part:</i> Alcatraz was SO cool. It was so interesting to hear all about! I went home and kept reading about the people and the events that went down. I couldn't imagine going to jail stranded on an island. Oh and roaming the streets late at night with Justin, Tommy and our other friends. Tommy has a way cool apartment and the view from the roof was crazy cool. </div>

<i>But apart from the fun trips. Here's some other fun stuff that took place. </i></h3>

Spent the day in San Elijo. Ryan tried to teach me how to surf.... Let's just say the waves weren't that good? I would have been SO good otherwise. The Funniest part was after we had paddled out, he told me to get on top of the board and I went on the wrong way. embarrassing. And he cut his foot super bad. It was gross. </div>

So I love to run. One day I woke up, and it was raining. I absolutely love running in the rain. So i jumped out of bed and took off. there were soooooooooooo many snails. I had to dodge them because I didn't want to crush them. I think this picture is funny because I was trying to get a picture with Mr. Snail but I couldnt really get us both.... let's just say I was a little distracted on this run. </div>

SO, I'm a morning person. I usually am always up by 7:30 without an alarm clock. This day for some reason... (maybe because I had stayed up till 4am three days in a row) I slept in till 1: 45. I was so sad when I woke up because the whole day was gone AND I missed Justin Bieber tickets. They went on sale that morning and were all sold out :( But Justin snuck into my room and took pictures... so funny...

Well! I didn't have pictures of evvverything... haha but just about :) Some people say I'm obsessed with pictures. I'd agree. I love memories. Some bring back stories, others heartache, others excitement and joy. I feel so blessed and I do so many fun things that I just try to capture it all so that I never forget. I had such a great time in California. I met a lot of great people, I learned a lot about myself, and I got some good job experience. </div>

I want to let the Taylor family know how much I love them. They are suuuuuch a fun family. It was really hard to say goodbye. I learned so much from them. As I watched how Claudine and Brent raised their kids, and balanced everything, it made me excited to be a mom. Claudine and I are really similar in the way we think, so I loved talking with her. Claudine shows so much love to her kids. The house was always clean - I have honestly never seen a house that is<i> that </i>organized and perfect. Brent was sooo funny. So kind and wise and understanding. For every negative thing that was said, he was always giving the person the benefit of the doubt, or seeing the positive in the situation. Justin is honestly my best friend. I loved our talks and hes SO funny and so cool, and such a great kid. Sweet Dylan, sometimes I couldn't believe he was only 13 because he was so respectful and nice and oh my gosh, his laugh kills me. Best laugh ever, hands down. Jessica, my little shadow. I miss her so much already. She is so cute and sweet and funny. Gosh, I love them all. Thanks for making me a part of your family, you guys are all amazing. I love you. </div>

I came across May 30, 2010. Exactly two years ago. I had been serving for about a month and a half.<br />
<br />
I'm going to start this by saying I loved my time in Cuernavaca, Mexico. I was 19 and all my guy friends were leaving on missions and I left right along with them to get a little taste of what it is like. I served the people of Cuatla with my whole heart and I loved them. I only remember one day during my two months there that I was super upset, and this was the day. May 30, 2010. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had been completely humbled. I remember coming home after a long day; it was one of those days when a bunch of your appointments fall through, I had been eaten alive by bugs through my itchy tights, and it was probably over 100 degrees.<br />
<br />
I went into our closet sat down and just started crying. I started my journal entry with, "I'm just going to complain for as many pages as it takes so that I get over this." I complained about me not being able to communicate because my Spanish wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I complained about the water and the bugs and how people would always talk about my hair or my eyes, and just the dumbest things. I wrote about all of the things I was missing- my family, and everything at home, like my sister PR'ing in her track meet, and about my friends and how I was upset about how they were making dumb decisions. And I wrote about a bunch of other things that were just really upsetting me.<br />
<br />
I ended the entry with, "I honestly think this is an amazing experience, I'm just upset. Heavenly Father, please help me tomorrow, and for the rest of my time here."<br />
<br />
I've started taking notes in church, and this past week, was all about overcoming trials and forgiveness. Something I wrote down that really stuck with me, was that Christ has been through it all, and he can help us with it all, we just need to turn to him. And although I might pray everyday, sometimes we just need to really be humbled and realize that we can't do it alone. I know I've quoted this before, but it's o<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">ne of my favorite quotes! It's from President Hickley, and it says, "If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel." </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fefdfa; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Lately I've been in an odd mood. So when I was reading through this it really hit home. Just like the game<i> chutes and ladders</i>, our path isn't always going to be up. Everyone struggles with different things. Everyone has different circumstances. We are given trials for a reason and the Lord is always there for us, we just need to turn to him. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Reading through my journal entries, I was reminded of what an amazing experience a mission is. I am truly amazed by the people I met and taught, and about the miracles I experienced.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">I don't think I could ever find the words to describe how much my time in Mexico means to me. It makes me so grateful for the missionaries who go and serve for a full 2 years. How incredible. I learned so much on my mission about myself, about the world, and about the gospel. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, FreeSerif, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">PS. May 31, 2010, the very next day, "wow, today was the best day of my whole mission and it's exactly what I needed." Prayer answered? :) </span></span><br />

This is my all
time favorite picture of my mom. This picture was my sophomore year, at my
apartment, when she came down to Provo for a week and stayed with me. That was
probably the best week ever. She hung out with my friends, she went to class
with me, she cooked me food everyday, and I don't think my apartment had ever
been as clean as she made it. A mother's touch. It was so fun; she's fun. <o:p></o:p></div>

I guess I owe my life to my mom. I mean, I wouldn't be here
without her right? This picture is awesome. Even though I'm pretty sure this wasn't
the most enjoyable experience, I was her first born. I love this picture
because, first, my dad looks scared out of his mind and second, because you can
just tell my mom had been through an eventful morning. If you couldn't tell,
this is when my mom birthed me (yes birthed is a word), twenty-one and a half
long years ago. It's so funny to see my parents when they are more close to my
age. </div>

It's weird because when youre a kid, you always think your
parents just know exactly what they are doing. But as I continue to grow up and
think about the far away day when I'll become a mom, parenting is crazy to
think about. My first child. All of the sudden. I'm responsible for someone
else. Oh my goodness. How amazing. How much pressure. As excited as I am, I'm
so glad I still have a while. Thanks mom for bringing me into this
world. <o:p></o:p></div>

I absolutely adore this picture. My mom looks like a total boss. I know where I get my amazing style from and good looks from. And look at her hair! What a babe.
It's pretty funny because everyone I've ever met that knows my mom says we are
twins. When I went to Uruguay for my quienceñera, my family from South America
hadn't seen me in years. and I'm pretty sure the first thing everyone told me
was how much I was my moms equal. Thanks for my good looks mom ;) <o:p></o:p></div>

One thing I love about my mom, is the love and support she has
showed me throughout my life. She has been a part of all my important moments. She
was there when I tied my shoe for the first time, when I fell down an
escalator, when I went to my first day of school, when I got baptized, for my
piano, flute, dance, soccer, performances/games, when I went on my first
date, when I went to my high school prom, when I graduated from high
school. And she continues to be there for me. </div>

Although I don't
live at home anymore, and don't get to see my mommy as often as I would like
to, I know that she would be there in a heartbeat if I ever needed her. I know
that I can call her anytime and she will listen. And I know that she will
always love me no matter what. My mom thinks anything I do is great and amazing
haha, its pretty cool actually. I called her after I completely failed one of my accounting tests,
and to her, I was still the smartest student at BYU. <o:p></o:p></div>

This is probably my
favorite picture of us. This was taken in Las Vegas, when my mom came down for
my 21st birthday. We got to see Phantom of the Opera and the Lion
King. My mom<i> wanted</i> to go "clubbing" with me, but
for some reason I didn't really want to. So I convinced her out of it. My mom is hilarious. <o:p></o:p></div>

I really have such an amazing mom. Sometimes I think she has more
energy than I do. I remember in high school, sometimes I would have sleepovers
with my friends and we would walk upstairs in the middle of the night
and my mom would be randomly baking muffins for us in the morning. 3am? What
the? To show her energy watch the video that's coming up... <o:p></o:p></div>

OKAY. I LOVE THIS VIDEO. This is when my best friend Caitlin came and visited me in Oregon. This is a reenactment of what actually happened when my mom came home and saw that Caitlin was there, and I think it was even more intense the first time. </div>

Real quick, one last story. So, on Mother's Day, when I lived at home (I don't know about anymore) but we would always make mom breakfast in bed. One year, I had woken everybody up, and we all went to the kitchen, and we made this big breakfast - usually eggs and toast and cereal and cut up fruit. We get it all set up on the tray and walk up stairs to her room. We're all standing there and I go to wake up my mom and I tickled my mom's leg I guess and she had a automatic reaction and just kicked. You can guess what happened... kicked the tray and lets just say I won't forget that mother's day :) </div>

I feel like everything starts and ends in April.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Two Aprils ago, I finished my freshman year at BYU, and left to Mexico for two months for a mini mission in Cuernavaca, Mexico. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Last April, I had just returned from spending a few months in Uruguay and started my first Spring term at BYU.</div><div><br />
</div><div>This April, I am ending my hardest year of schooling everrr, moving to California for two months and then Oregon for the rest of the Summer. (both for internships) </div><div><br />
</div><div>Everything is always changing. Time doesn't stop for anyone. Its crazy to think its already been two years since my time in Mexico-all the elders I met while I was there, are home. aaaand a whole year has passed since I was with my beautiful family in Montevideo. what!??!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Why does time always seem to fly by? Finals are coming up, and every time I get worried about them, I just think. Before I know it, they will be over. I remember my first day of BYU's accounting junior core. I looked at the calendar full of assignments and remember thinking. "I can't believe I am going to eventually complete all of this." And look at me now. Done with every assignment. All I have are my last exams. It's absolutely crazy.<br />
<br />
So. I'm a horrible blogger. It's been almost two months since my last post about the dumb modesty letter that went viral blah blah whatever. (By the way, what an experience....) To be honest, I only started a blog so I could keep up with every other girl in Provo. Hahaha. Maybe one day I'll become more legit and post about daily walks and what I see/think when I look out the window. Or maybe all I have to do is wait until I'm engaged, or married. And then I can post everyday about how in love I am. But right now, I just like to post every once in a while so I don't forget the cool things I do. And remember to be grateful. So if you get bored reading about my life. Then you don't have to read it... hahah. It's that simple.<br />
<br />
Here's an update of some of the cool things that have happened since I last posted.<br />
<br />
I accepted my offer with Ernst & Young. I'll be interning with them this summer in Portland, Oregon. I. Can't. Wait. And got my other internship figured out in California for Spring. And i'll be living with the Taylors. Can my life get any better!? I love those people SO much.<br />

My dad came and visited me. I honestly have the coolest dad in the whole world. Haha. You can ask any of my friends how much I talk to him. He calls me, or I call him at least once a day. Usually more. Actually, almost always more. I'm glad he got to come and spend some time with me. He always makes me laugh, he is probably one of the funniest people I know. And. He gives the best advice.<br />

Watched BYU in March Madness. Came back after they were down by 20 points.... it doesn't matter that they weren't that good this year, that was a cool game. And my bracket got killed. I had Duke winning. Its cool though. I still love Duke.<br />

Went to Ernst & Younger games. It was basically a huge game of capture the flag. So much fun haha. And Jim Turley, the CEO of EY, came and spoke to us. My name tag said "Campus Hire" I felt legit.<br />

Festival of Colors. Okay. I don't know who saw that meme. "Biggest Hindu celebration on the western hempisphere, 20000 Mormons, 10 Hindus." So funny. But you can't ever pass this one up. It's so fun! And you get bomb pictures. I obviously wouldn't give up a good photo op. duh. Unfortunately, it dyed my hair pink. cool. real cool.<br />

Passover Dinner. HAHHAHA. okay. so funny. Jason killed me. It was really cool experience, we got to see the actual process. And how the Passover meal is performed. AND they made us eat the bitter herb. Hollllyyyyyy gross. I honestly felt sick for about an hour afterward. But that was probably the coolest part, because afterward if you go and read the passages, you get a feel for the bitterness that Jesus experienced. That bitter herb was honestly the most horrible thing I have ever consumed. It got me ready for Easter.<br />

Played APRIL FOOLS DAY PRANKS. OKAY so. Here's what went down. I schemed the night before. Chase_Observes helped. It was mostly my brilliant mind though. Okay, yeah, it was all me. OREOS AND TOOTHPASTE. I do it every year. So what you do, (you can probably guess) is you take the frosting out of the middle of the Oreo and you fill it with toothpaste. GENIUS. So I left them out, for April Fools day. Brad and Bryan came over for conference. BRYAN TOOK AN OREO. wow i love it when other people fall for my genius. THEN. Dallin invited us over for a pancake party. PERFECT right!? I brought the Oreos. Set them out. Watched the boys fall for them one by one. it was so fun to yell at them all APRIL FOOLS. I felt like such a boss hahhahahahah.<br />

We tried to go in the fall but oh wait... we got there late and lost a ticket. haha but this session we finally made it and can i mention it was THE SAME SESSION THAT DAVID ARCHULETA SANG IN. OH MY GOSH. I really almost died. It was the best day of my whole life. After conference was over. I ran up to the front and just stared at him. He may or may not have winked at me. :D<br />

Finished the JUNIOR CORE. Best, hardest, craziest, coolest experience of my schooling. ever. Have I ever mentioned how much i LOVE my major? Accounting is seriously the best thing I could ever ask to major in. It's cool to find something you enjoy. So I'm a pretty lucky girl. I'm so thankful for my group. I think it was different for everyone because last semester we had so many projects and did EVERYTHING together. But this group was just as cool. They are all great guys and I'm glad I got put with them. And what are the chances that I got in the same group as my best friend? I freaking love you Russell Gardner. You're such a boss and I'm lucky to have you as one of my best friends.<br />

I don't know what it is, but I always feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I just have good luck. Maybe it's because I always pick up lucky pennies. No matter what side is showing, they seem to always bring me good luck. I'd like to think my good luck comes from two things. 1. My Heavenly Father. He always knows what I need. Even if it's not the answer I want, or thought I wanted, he always seems to send me to where I need to be, and send me the people that I need in my life. To help me learn, to hurt me, to love me, to guide me, and to make me a better person. 2. I'd like to think it's my attitude. I don't have a perfect life. Bad things happen. I have hard days. But, I don't let those hard things get to me. Life is for fun. You can't always be waiting for life to be fun, "Oh I'll be happy once I graduate." "I'll be happy once I'm married." "I'll be happy when finals are over." No. Life is for having fun and being happy every single day. Even the bad days can be turned into a good day.<br />
<br />
Last but not least. HAPPY EASTER. I hope everyone has a fantastic day and remembers what today is all about. Jesus Christ, our Savior, and my older brother was resurrected. I know that he really, truly, loves each and every single one of us. I know that he loves me. One of my favorite quotes comes from President Hickley, "If Life Gets Too Hard To Stand, Kneel."

Its pretty freaking insane. Here are my thoughts, starting with the story from my point of view.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I had a meeting for ALPFA (a club) at 6pm on Valentines day night, so I decided to stay in the Tanner building and study until then. I went to the cubicals because one of my friends was studying there. I went sat down by him, got up for a phone call and then when I sat back down... five minutes later, a random boy came up to me, tapped me on the should and gave me what I thought was a love note. Come to find out... it definietly wasn't a love not.<br />
<br />
Here is the note:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQNxJFTH80CZuDDreuS0f5L-qpWVNgbJfeBOJ4uP5_14a79HSWA3HeganQ2nXVcBBi3IS4B8w0EP8yjeZsmKyNICQ5YkBiKw1Sgx4woYdBbvDOwT_o_fMiZt_mgsxImNg1dfNS1hV3WU/s1600/note2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlQNxJFTH80CZuDDreuS0f5L-qpWVNgbJfeBOJ4uP5_14a79HSWA3HeganQ2nXVcBBi3IS4B8w0EP8yjeZsmKyNICQ5YkBiKw1Sgx4woYdBbvDOwT_o_fMiZt_mgsxImNg1dfNS1hV3WU/s320/note2.jpg" width="320" /></a> <br />
<br />
Didnt expect that. At first I was embarrassed. Because I was with my friend, and he wanted to read the note... and it was embarrassing! I was also sad I had offended someone with my choice in dress, because that was not my intention. Also, it was Valentine's day night. I'm sorry, but it was not nice. How do you think his note made me feel? If I was struggling with my testimony or modesty in <i>any</i> way... I don't think this boy's note would have made me change my dress or how I feel towards the church. If anything I would have just been hurt, offended, and upset by it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>But after thinking about it, I took it as a joke. I texted a few of my close friends showing them the note the boy had written me. They all responded, oh my gosh! What are you wearing!? So I went in the bathroom... and I snapped a picture to show my friends... haha. Who would have thought that the picture would spread like wildfire all over the US. and even the world. If I would have known that picture would be examined by thousands, I would have taken a cuter picture! hahahah. To be honest, that picture is kind of embarrassing. My friends thought it was funny, so I posted it on my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. For those of you who know me, I love Social Media.... haha. Im always uploading random things I think are funny. Somtimes I'm lucky and get 30 "likes." or 3 "retweets." But I never in a million years thought that my post would be shared over five hundred times and retweeted over 100 times. And... thats just what happened.<br />
<br />
Here's what I was wearing:<br />
<br />

<br />
I had a great rest of Valentines night. I told people about the story, we laughed about it and that was that. Just a funny, sad story. I went to bed that night. Went to my accounting classes the next morning. I got out of class at 11, and my post had 100+ shares. WHAT THE. how did THAT happen. I looked at the comments... They were pretty funny. My friends took it as a joke. For those that know me, they know that I'm not a rebel. Haha, I'm not a "Molly Mormon" but I am definitely always trying my best to keep the standards of the church, because I love my religion. The idea of the Honor Code at BYU for us to be MODEST. not measure inches of covered knees between the end of our loose fitting dress and the top of our boots. I had people going through my pictures on Facebook with a measuring stick to see if they could find immodest clothing... Really? Is that what the Honor Code is for? So we can find fault with each other?<br />
<br />
After it started getting more and more shares, I got nervous. I was literally shaking. I didn't want to get in trouble with BYU and I didn't want my friends, and random people to think that I was mocking the honor code. I personally respect the honor code and I dont have a problem with it. I called my dad and he said that my post was fine, and that I didn't need to take it down. It's good to have conversations about our difference of opinions and what the rules mean or why they are there. So I left it up because it had already gone VIRAL. and boom. thats the story.<br />
<br />
With all of the shares, people wanted to hear what I had to say. Fox News, ABC, CBS, and NBC all jumped on the story. They came out to Provo and interviewed me. Here are the clips.<br />

</div><br />
I have had 500 new followers on Twitter, Over 200 Facebook friend requests, a lot of Facebook messages, countless text messages, phone calls, I got a very nice email from my religion and accounting professors, my parents have received calls, and endless support.<br />
<br />
Walking around campus, and the tanner building, random people are yelling. You're THAT girl. from the Love Note story! and Nice outfit! and Thanks for dressing modestly today! Haha I was at the RB at my friends intermural basketball game and there was a boy who completely stopped and did a double take "Youre THAT girl" hahahah.<br />
<br />
The weirdest thing is walking by people around the Tanner Building and the library who are either looking at my picture as I walk by, or talking about the story. That was a bizarre experience.<br />
<br />
I could honestly go on and on....<br />
<br />
Completely, absolutely. Viral. So.... was there nothing happening this week or what? Was it really that big of a story for it to get that big? I dont think so. But there could be some valuable lessons learned.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">When I was being interviewed I really didn't know what to say but to be very careful in my wording because I truly love BYU, and I think the Honor Code is here to protect us and help us be better people. but like I said earlier, the honor code is to help us be modest. not be self-righteous and </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">judgmental</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">. I LOVE the LDS faith. (I served a mini mission and during high school I invited all of my friends over for discussions.) So I didnt want the news people to cut me in a way that was unfavorable towards the church or BYU. But, after thinking about it. I really wish I </span><i style="line-height: 115%;">would</i><span style="line-height: 115%;"> have shared more of my thoughts </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">(to the people of the LDS faith, not for the whole world...)</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"> about how men like this really aren't approaching the situation in the right way.</span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="background-color: white; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"> </span></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I have gotten multiple girls that have either tweeted at me or messaged me on Facebook about their personal experiences that were similar to mine. One girl told me that during her D&C class, a boy called her out, in front of the WHOLE class saying her shirt was inappropriate. She said she was so </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">embarrassed</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> and pretty upset by it. For a boy to call a girl out in front of everyone is so sad. </span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 115%;">especially in a religion class! Thats just one of the many I received. I really feel that for the most part, the girls at BYU are truly fantastic, a light to the world. I'm sure you know, but we live in a crazy world. And to even BE at BYU says something about the type of people we are. remarkable. And when students (girls and boys) are trying so hard to be good and do the right thing... one comment from a self righteous boy would really be upsetting.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; line-height: 115%;"><span class="apple-converted-space"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I could post the rude messages from random people saying that it is MY fault that the church is being talked badly about it. But I wont. To them and others, I apologize. I learned my lesson about the power of social media, and I feel bad if you are offended or annoyed by this story... I really had no intention of it becoming this big. People are going to talk. With Joseph Smith and in the times of Christ bad things were said. That is the cool thing about BYU and about the Mormon faith. It still grows, even when there is "bad publicity." </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Almost everyone has been <i>very </i>supportive. I have gotten hundreds of tweets and messages from people saying that they thought I was dressed </span><span style="line-height: 15px;">appropriately</span><span style="line-height: 16px;"> and they support me. SO many more nice people in this world. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">To the people of the LDS faith. Please think before you say something. Growing up, people in my ward thought it was their job to call me out and tell me what I was doing wrong. As someone who loves my religion, it didn't help. It just made me upset. Some people get very upset by comments, so be careful. I am not perfect and I know that, but I want boys (and girls) at BYU, and within our faith, to know that sometimes, you just need to ignore the situation and walk away. I do respect others who have the courage to stand up for what they believe, but please, be very careful.... espcially at BYU, where, like I said earlier, we are all trying to be the best we can. We have a honor code, and that is amazing. It is one of the things I love about BYU. The students here, for the most part, really <i>are</i> trying to be good Christians and be a "light to the world" </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">My dad has always told me, the gospel is perfect, the people are not. So true. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 15px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">If that boy is out there, I'm sure he feels really bad, and I'm sorry, I really didn't mean for this to happen. Hopefully he (and others like him) learned something though. At first, he probably walked away feeling proud of himself. For sticking up for "what was right" but really? Valentine's day night? And was my outfit really that bad to write a note like that? If I upset that boy <i>that </i>much in the three seconds I walked by before sitting in my cubical then it truly wasn't my fault, but it was his. </span></span><br />
<br />
In the end, I want to say two things.<br />
<br />
First, To those who don't know much about the LDS/Mormon Faith/BYU, we aren't all crazy. Haha. We definitely are different than others, but not crazy. There are the few out there who are pretty bizarre, but for the most part... we are normal, nice, people.<br />
<br />
Second, I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out to me and been sooo kind. There has been an overwhelming response and I know that (thankfully) in a few days this will all be over.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

We started early and you'll never guess how much we accomplished. Starting at 8:00am: Empire State Building, then Madison Square Garden, Penn Station, Down to the statue of Liberty, Across the ferry to Staten Island, then up to Wall Street and the 9/11 memorial, then to Soho, saw John Mayer's house, China Town, Little Italy, Grand Central Station, up to the MET, and walked back by central park to our hotel. ALL IN SIX HOURS. It was crazy and exciting, just like the city. We are pros at using the subway now.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">That day at the conference:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">A bunch of people spoke with us but my favorite speaker was Jim Turley, the CEO of Ernst & Young. I think listening to such successful people is so interesting. They are so smart and talented at what they do. One of the things he said that really stood out to me was that a big part of being successful is just <i>being able to connect with people</i>. In the business world today, you not only have to be smart but you have to have social skills and know how to network. You could be the smartest person and have the highest GPA, but still not be successful because people can't connect with you. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">That night we had a scavenger hunt! It was SO fun! The people at this conference were hilarious and all so nice! I didn't get any pictures because I didn't have my camera but basically we had to run all over Times Square looking for certain things and statues. My group almost won....... almost.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Third day: 7am-9pm speakers and activities! It was amazing. I had two favorite speakers:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">1. Dot, the Americas director, talked with us about her career. I really enjoyed hearing from her because she is a mom with 3 grown children, yet she is very successful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">2. Ken Bouyer talked about how we can all do great things. He grew up in hard circumstances. When he finally got out, he got a summer job fueling airplanes. His job made him work that much harder at school because he realized that he didn't want to be fueling airplanes for the rest of his life. He talked about three things that really stood out to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">a. You've got to be hungry. Don't be happy just being there. If you have big goals, you have to make them happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">b. Average is your enemy. We are all unique and we shouldn't try to be like everyone else. Be bold. Bring new ideas to the table. He talked about being a peacock in a land of penguins. Let your colorful wings show, they are beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">c. Your reputation and your brand is everything. Build it wisely. Once you have credibility, people will have your back because they know you are a hard worker and you've proved that you deserve to be there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">I really liked his talk because it reminded me of my father who has really shown me that we really are in charge of our future. You can come from the poorest, hardest, situation and because of your choices and decisions, you can make a better future for yourself. It's really cool because I'm at the point of my life where I am making some of the biggest decisions of my life. Things that will determine the rest of my life. It's pretty intimidating at times, but I really love it. I can do anything with my life, and I'm going to make it great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Oh! And one last quote from Oscar Suarez: "You have to be able to inspire yourself first to be able to inspire others."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">After all of the amazing speakers, we had a two hour break before dinner. Mariana and I took the subway to Roosevelt Island where they were filming GOSSIP GIRL. We didn't get any pictures with them. And we hardly could see them but just to be in their presence was enough! That show is amazing. Chuck & Blair, Nate, Serena... Darota. I'm obsessed. SO. we went on our two hour break, and the film crew told us to come back by 10 pm because they would be done then and we would be able to catch them. Bad news, when we came back after the dinner, they ended early and had already finished filming.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am the luckiest. I cant believe today is the last day of 2011. Time flies. I decided to summarize my year in pictures. Going through all of the pictures made me so happy and so sad. My pictures of south america... I almost cried. I miss my family so much, and I wouldn't even be able to express my love for them in words. Then I came back to Utah and got back into my last classes before the accounting program took over my life. Spring was SO fun. It was great to be back, campus wasn't crowded and I still had my friends. Then my second Summer time of the year came. The moment of truth. All of my friends left me for either boyfriends, jobs, or decided to leave the country... I didn't know anyone who was staying summer term. I decided to move to King Henry with random roommates which ended up to be one of the best decisions ever. I met my roommate and best friend Stacy along with all of my other great friends from that ward. We did fun things everyday and everyone had so much free time. I got to go to a family reunion in Rexburg and spend some time in Oregon before FALL. Fall. I started the accounting program and moved back to Lanai. I met more amazing people at Lanai, my best friend Cait was back from her study abroad and life was good. But crazy. The accounting program is one of the hardest things I have ever done in my entire life, but it is so rewarding and I can't imagine myself in any other major. During fall, my dad, Hailey, and Thomas came to visit Provo for a weekend, I got to go to Vegas for my 21st birthday with my mommy. Then before I knew it, I was home for Thanksgiving, then it was finals. And I was in Hawaii with my family. Its crazy how time just FLIES. I had to be so selective on the pictures I included and I still have a TON. This year was amazing. It's amazing how much you can learn and grow in a year. The things we go through, the habits we form all make us into the person we are today. The thing I learned in 2011, is that its all about the people. You could be doing the coolest thing of your entire life, but if you arent with someone you care about, then it doesn't even matter. In 2011, I met people that have changed my life forever. I finally got to spend time with my dad's side of the family in Uruguay and they took my heart. I've never felt so much love in my entire life. I got to spend time with my brothers and sisters, who are growing up so fast and surprise me by their maturity. I met incredible people at BYU - my friends at Lanai, King Henry, Liberty Square, through the Accounting Program, and my random encounters. Going through all of the pictures, I found myself wanting to just write paragraphs about sooo many people and just having pictures of their faces because I love them so much. But this post would have gone on forever because I love too many people. I feel like one of the luckiest girls in the world because the people in my life are truly amazing. </div><br />

As time continues to fly by, I hope that in this new year, I can manage to remember what is important. To treat the people that I currently know, and will meet with kindness. To always do my best and to never let any good opportunity pass me by. To treat every moment as something special and always see the positive in everyone and everything. There is so much in life to be thankful for. If we are always criticizing or complaining, who would want to be around us. My biggest pet peeve is when people complain or aren't grateful. You can always find a positive thing to say about every person, about every situation. Some positives may be hard to find at first, but trust me, they're there. Even when times are hard, or things are going wrong, they happen for a reason. To help us grow, to teach us a lesson, or maybe we aren't supposed to understand why. But that's how life goes. Time flies. Life is for enjoying, for taking advantage of. There are so many people to meet, so many places to see! With this new year comes new adventures, new opportunities, and endless possibilities. Carpe Diem! Happy 2012!<br />

Good old Beaverton Oregon. There is nothing like being home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I was a little girl, we moved around a lot. I was born in Utah, while my parents were at BYU. Then, we moved to Illinois while my dad went to Northwestern. Then we moved to Florida, and we moved twice there. When we moved to Oregon, even though I was only eight years old, I made my dad promise me we wouldn't move for at least five years. I wanted a place that felt like home. 13 years later, and we still live in Beaverton, Oregon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of the coolest things about being from Beaverton, is that, it is the world headquarters of Nike. I'm pretty sure everyone who knows me knows, but just in case you don't, my dad works for Nike, and that's why we live here. Growing up, everyone always had Nikes. At my high school, if you didn't own at least three pairs, you weren't cool. Some of my guy friends in high school would walk around school super awkwardly just to not crease their shoes. Some had over 50 pairs of Nikes. Boys would spend their whole paychecks on Nike shoes and camp out overnight to get the latest pair. I didn't own a pair of vans until my junior year of high school. And that's because I got them as a gift- my dad would never buy us the competition! And if you wore Adidas to my house... oh boy. You'd get a hard time from my dad hahah. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thats one of the best parts about coming home. Seeing all of the fresh pairs of Nikes. I love the way the boys dress here and the Nike culture. It's weird that its actually something I miss. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I first moved out to Provo, I was a little bit shocked at how few people actually wore Nike shoes... I mean, don't all guys have Nikes? What the Sketchers? New Balance? Pumas? ADIDAS? It took a long time to get used to. For the first year at school, EVERY person that I saw wearing Nikes would get a compliment. I actually bought my freshman year boyfriend Nikes because his Adidas bothered me so much. I had no idea that to regular people, Nike's were kind of a big deal. I realize now that not everyone is fortunate enough to have a parent or a friend working for Nike, and that not everyone has the Employee Store close by. What a shame.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'm a Nike girl 4 lyfe. My dad has such a cool job. He gets to see famous athletes, travel the world, go to the Olympics and World Cups, and he always brings us home the latest Nike gear. AND since my dad has worked at Nike for 13 years now... we accumulated quite a few Nikes. While I've been home, I've taken a couple pictures because it's actually quite ridiculous. (that's what started the obsessive rant and post about my obsession of nikes) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My dad's favorite style of Nike: Nike Air Max</div>He has them in every color:<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Like I always say, My family isn’t perfect, but they’re perfect for me. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sometimes we think that <i>everyone else</i> has a perfect family and that our family is the only one that has problems. But in reality, no family is perfect. Every family is unique, and every family has their struggles. I’m getting to the age where I’m beginning to see things more from my parents point of view. It’s weird. Weird to think that I’m at the age that in a few years, maybe 20 or so, I’ll be starting my own family. It’s weird to think about my parents when they were my age. How did they know what to do? How did they get through their years when they were struggling and poor? How do they control their bratty children? <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Luckily, I still have a bazillion years before I have to worry about that. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyway, we’ll start this journey from the beginning. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">So. My family decided to head to Hawaii without me. They came on a Wednesday, and I didn’t join them until that Friday because I had my Accounting Information Systems Final (kill me) at 7am that Friday. It was torture. They sent me a gazillion pictures of the beach while I was trapped in hbll (Harold B Lee Library). After my final (which ended at 10am), I booked it to the airport and made it just in time for my 11:30 flight and said ALOHA to Honolulu. s/o to tyler owens who picked me up from the Tanner building WITH McDonalds and booked it to the airport for me <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal">I finally arrived. Sometimes I forget what my family is like. Super sarcastic, super outspoken, and super active. It’s every man for himself and I’m pretty sure the times we laugh the hardest are when we are making fun of each other or other people. The week flew by. To summarize the week, here’s the top 5 funniest moments followed by a plethora of pictures.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">1. One day, while we were on the beach, this woman, probably about 26, came up to my mom and asked for my mom to take a picture of her. So my mom’s like sure! The woman has a strong accent, and she says, “Make sure you get the waves and mountains in the picture” So she hands my mom her camera and starts rolling around in the ocean doing all of these sexy poses…. My mom took a few pictures and luckily the woman was satisfied. Hahahahah. About an hour later, my sister and I were talking about how funny that was and we started to reenact it, two minutes into our hilarious joke, we look over and the same woman is sitting there. Watching us make fools out of ourselves. Awkward hahaha but so funny.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">2. We were driving back after hiking Diamond Head, and it started to rain. Hailey looks out the window sees a woman and says, “WHY DOES THAT OLD WOMAN HAVE A PLASTIC BAG ON HER HEAD?! We all looked, and right as we passed by in our Ford Explorer, she biffed it and fell to the ground. SO funny. Of course we were going to stop and help her….. but luckily she had her family there to help her up, so we figured she’d be fine. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">3. My lovely sister, who had already changed races, decided she would be tanning during PRIME tanning hours. RAIN OR SHINE. <i>Everyone</i> knows prime tanning hours are 10-4 so sure enough, 10 am we head to the pool, even though it was cloudy and raining. Thomas and I stare at the pool while Hailey jumps in and tries to convince us that you can still tan through the clouds. She didn’t convince us. We come back a half an hour later, and we can’t tell if she was tanner, or if she was just purple from freezing. Hailey’s like, “yeah, when it started pouring, I almost drown because I would keep myself under water to keep warm and then come up for air only. That was a low point.” But like she says, “Pain is beauty” so she endured the rain for the five minute breaks of sunlight. Luckily it was sunny by 12… I laughed so hard those 2 hours though. My sister is probably one of THE funniest people I know, and she was on a roll.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2lMDOGen8FI/TvOTug_EkvI/AAAAAAAAAHY/cU86UfDB-JY/s1600/b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2lMDOGen8FI/TvOTug_EkvI/AAAAAAAAAHY/cU86UfDB-JY/s200/b.jpg" width="149" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">4. Pictures. All my friends say I take a lot of pictures… hmmm, I wonder who I get it from. My dad is always picture happy. So one night as we are walking, my dad sees a palm tree with really cool lights and wants a picture of Brandy leaning against the tree. Simple right? Think again. Brandy, my youngest sister, isn’t the most coordinated Molina. So, just to pose her is an adventure… Haileys yelling, “SUCK IN, CHIN UP, GLASSES OFF, PUT YOUR ARMS OUT SO THEY ARENT SQUISHED, TILT YOUR HEAD…” First picture, Brandy looks like she was blessed as an 11 year old with huge wabos because she was sucking in so hard. Second picture, she’s trying to remember to do all of these commands and she just falls over. Needless to say, my dad didn’t get the picture he was expecting. Pictures are always super fun in our family (sarcasm). But, I personally love it. It’s a huuuge part of all of our outings. And I believe, if there aren’t pictures… it never really happened</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">5. Watching my dad tan. You think that out of all of us, the FULL HISPANIC one would get the darkest? Well. My dad was the one with SPF 100 the whole time, until the last day, where he let himself go and went sunscreen-less for an hour and a half. TOMATO. Hahahaha sucka. We love you dad. Sorry we are darker than you. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z_7_1szzc7g/TvOTu9EPdCI/AAAAAAAAAHg/A23XABwJrYY/s1600/dad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z_7_1szzc7g/TvOTu9EPdCI/AAAAAAAAAHg/A23XABwJrYY/s200/dad.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">There were obviously a gazillion more funny moments. And the ones I listed were probably the kind that you “had to be there.” So sorry if you didn’t think they were that funny, but they really were. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Overall, I can say we had a great time together. The weather was beautiful and it was a great break after my intense 70+ hour studying week. For those of you who aren’t as cool as me, and get stuck in freezing weather, tough luck. Hahah… regardless of where I am though, I love this time of year. Everyone heads home for the holidays. And wherever home may be, I hope everyone is having a fantastic winter break. Remember to be thankful for the family you are given. Nobody has a perfect family, but we should all try to learn to love each other.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You know how sometimes events in our lives seem so far away and then BAM. You are there. Where you've always pictured yourself. It always seemed so far away... but its actually happening and it almost feels like a dream. Well, ever since I can remember, I have pictured myself at BYU, in the accounting program. I was interested in it in middle school, and I told EVERYONE in high school of my plan to be a future accountant. And here I am, already done with my first semester. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The great thing about my interest in accounting is that the school of my dreams, BYU, has the second ranked accounting program in the nation, and I now know why. The people in the program are some of the smartest, hardest working people I have ever met. BYU's accounting program is organized so well, and they overwhelm us with homework and projects. Not to mention, the tests are ridiculous. We have class at 8am Monday through Friday. Then, after class... if its a <b>good</b> day, homework will only take 4-5 hours. But most days arent good days. This past semester, was the hardest schooling I have experienced. There were days where I was in the tanner building from 8-8, and then I would come back at 10 and stay up late studying. 14+ hour days were not unusual. Its a tough program.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">HOWEVER. I can not begin to express my love for accounting. I honestly love being a part of the program - we are treated like gold (the big four LOVE BYU students), we get lots of free stuff (I've gotten two sweatshirts, 300 dinners, tons of activities, gift cards, a trip to New York, Pens galore and a gazillion other things) and this really was the funnest semester I have ever had. I love my teachers, and more importantly I love my group. I was SO blessed to have Julia, Ammon, TJ, and Jace as the people that I had to work with everyday for the past four months. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When we are born, we get sent to earth and get put into a family- who we spend the rest of our lives with. The accounting program is a little bit like that. On the first day of class, we get put with four other individuals that we will be working with for the entire semester. Let me tell you. Before starting the program I heard countless horror stories of some of the groups. I imagined all of the possibilities... they could smell bad, they could be lazy, they could never have time to meet, maybe not even care about accounting! Your group literally determines how your whole semester goes. But luckily, someone who loves me a lot and is always looking out for me put me with exactly the people I needed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've always believed that my family isn't perfect, but they are perfect for me. This is how I feel towards my accounting family. Sure, we may have our differences. But overall, we work hard together, finish all of our assignments, presentations and projects amazingly, get good grades, AND we have so much fun doing it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have come to know each one of these guys so well, and I really do care about them and love them. We've been through so much together, and I couldn't have made it through my first semester without them. Thanks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Here's to late nights, making nicknames, wasting time, getting 10/10's on all of our quizzes, taking pictures during class, falling asleep, hanging out on weekends, battles over study rooms, field trips, seeing penny snatcher outside of class, Justin Bieber break time, sharing time, invading teachers offices, the warren case, making fun of others, Christmas music, snack time, going to whatever booth is open and taking everything, asking for blankets, my raps and random comments during class, and to all of the laughs and giggles. I love you guys. We really did have the best group in accounting group in history.<br />
<br />

Starting up the Blog...For some strange reason, I've really wanted to blog lately. I mean eveeerrryyyy girl here has one. So I just want to be like everyone else, go figure. Plus my life is so cool... people will just be dying to read all about my crazy adventures. Kiddin... but really. If you go back, I actually started this blog when I was living in South America, but haven't posted since... we'll see how often I even write in this thing.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>To start this blog off... </div><div>Since November is the month of giving thanks, this past month, I wrote down the thing I was most thankful for that particular day. Here's my list! </div><div><br />
</div><div>1. I'm thankful for missionary letters </div><div>2. I'm thankful to be healthy (and not throwing up like my roommate) </div><div>3. I'm thankful that my brain works and can be tested (even though test week is killing me) </div><div>4. I'm thankful TEST WEEK IS OVER and to be in Vegas with my mom, Stacy, and Rosa to celebrate my twenty first </div><div>5. I'm thankful that I got to see PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and Lion King</div><div>6. I'm thankful that I have a car that kept Stacy and I alive and warm on the snowy, scary drive home from Vegas </div><div>7. I'M THANKFUL FOR GOSSIP GIRL </div><div>8. I'm thankful that my dad is never not on my recent call log on my phone... makes him easy to call. So, overall, I guess I'm thankful for the relationship I have with my dad.</div><div>9. I'm thankful for great hometeachers. And I'm thankful that mine shares a love for Twitter like I do. </div><div>10. I'm thankful for my accounting group. They really are like my second family, and I'm blessed that we get along, they work hard, and I actually like them. </div><div>11. I'm thankful that today was the best day of my life 11:11!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div><div>12. I thankful for cabins, and great friends. </div><div>13. I'm thankful that they didn't talk about getting married today during church.</div><div>14. I'm thankful for the intense recruiting at BYU and how EY is flying me to Portland to interview for an internship this summer!!</div><div>15.I'm thankful that we built candy houses in accounting class, oh and for Christmas music!</div><div>16. I'm thankful for my body, and that it doesn't kill me when I run forever.</div><div>17. I'm thankful that I got a group of 20 girls. and some guys. to go to the BREAKING DAWN midnight showing with me!</div><div>18. I'm thankful for my bfee Cait and that she memorizes songs like Super Bass and Love the Way you lie with me. That way we can impress all the boyz. </div><div>19. I'm thankful for the examples set by people in my life, even from people I don't know very well - its the little things - like Tammy.</div><div>20. I'm thankful that I met Stacy this summer, and for the amazing example she is to me.</div><div>21. I'm thankful for Russell, and that he is driving me to the airport tomorrow. and that I GET TO GO HOME! </div><div>22.

I'M THANKFUL for my best friend aka hails and catie who shopped with me at midnight BLACK FRIDAY!</div><div>26. I'm thankful for the relationships that you know will never end, the kind distance doesn't end. </div><div>27. I'm thankful for the gospel, there is nothing that brings more happiness then the knowledge that I have. </div><div>28. I'm thankful for the tanner building and the library - I spend more time there than my own apartment. AND that the hbll is open till 2am now till finals. </div><div>29. I'm thankful to have a free trip to New York in January. GOT MY TICKET. I can't even wait. </div><div>30. I'm thankful for warm fires, apple cider, and santa!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Overall, I'm a pretty lucky girl with a whole lot to be thankful for. Throughout my life, I've come to realize that when I do the things I should be doing, treat others with kindness, and trust God, everything always falls into place. Sometimes things turn out differently than we expect - but every single day, we have something to be thankful for. Even if we are going through a hard time, we should be thankful for the trials we are given, because without them, how could we ever know when we are truly happy? </div><div><br />
</div><div>Hopefully this post didn't bore you too much. I really think blogs are weird. Who would even want to read about my life? Oh well. Dont read it if you don't want to!</div><div><br />

I'm not really sure who will read it. I'm not even sure that I'll tell people I have a blog. I just want to try it out because for some reason, blogging sounds a lot more fun than writing in a journal.<br />
<br />
Well. I've been in Uruguay for 2 months now. I have two weeks left. It's crazy how time flies. What is even crazier is that after this, I will have completed everything I wanted to before I get serious with my career. During my senior year in high school, after I was accepted to BYU, I planned out my first two years of college. Every month, has gone as expected with little variation. I planned on where I would live, who I would live with, what classes I would take, that I would spend the two months after school to go somewhere to practice spanish (Mexico), what summer job I would have, and that my sophomore year of college, I would take a semester off to live in Uruguay. And now, everything I have wanted, has been fulfilled.<br />
<br />
After I get home in two weeks, the possibilities are endless. I have a bunch of plans but nothing is set in stone. In the spring I want to room with Melissa in Liberty Square, summer, I want to be a sports camp counselor at BYU and I know that in the fall I'm rooming with Caitlin and hoping to start the accounting program... but other than rooming with Caitlin, nothing is for sure.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">You always hear it said that "life is short." Life is actually pretty dang long. 70, 80, even 90 years is a huge chunk of time. it's the phases of life that are short. i am never going to be able to get back those years i spent swinging around on the monkey bars, building forts, and riding bikes, and i'm never going to get back those years in high school where I came home to a home-cooked meal with my family. did i milk those phases of life for all they were worth? it's hard to say.</span></span><br />

So many people are always in anticipation of the next part of their life, but I think that we need to embrace every stage. If we are always waiting for something else, we will never enjoy what is right in front of us.<br />
<br />
I'm always finding myself happy in the stage of life I'm in. I remember when I was in high school, I was with my best friend britnee, and we were in our last weeks of senior year. So many people were like, "I'm so ready to be OUT of here!! On to the real world blah blah blah" I remember just sitting on the senior couch with brit and we were just like "we love high school. it is so fun and as excited as we are for the next stage of our life, we wish we could make this last longer because we are going to miss it."<br />
<br />
Right now I'm in Uruguay. I love spending time with my family here, I love being in the warm summer, going to the beach, not working or studying and just taking time to get to know my dad's family. Although I love everything about here, I know that I only have two weeks left; as sad as it will to leave and be finished with this phase of my life, I will be happy to be in Oregon for for a couple weeks, and then i will be happy to go back to Utah for the spring.<br />
<br />
I believe the secret of life is to squeeze everything you can out of it. Even the boring times you can turn into an adventure. If you are living in a way that seizes every opportunity that comes, and you grab it with both hands and a positive attitude. That's when youve got everything figured out.brittany.molinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14038657219961660773noreply@blogger.com0
