be free

2.0.1.1. is gonna be our year. & for some odd reason I cannot get enough of blogging.

so just to settle my soul. this one is a little bit more. it’s gonna be used more often, and it is definitely gonna be more detailed. for my own sake. I love writing, and expressing myself in this way. -plus how fun will it be to look back and see how I get where I’m goin.

beginning with my best accomplishment from 2010.

I am just gonna have to put a quick little recap on here of the year 2010 :]

Michael. 

started 2010 off together. he is now in Panama. 

accomplishment.

enough said :]

Brady. best friend.

he is now in Rhode Island.

Remained close with friends that I love. 

After getting in a horrific four car accident on the freeway and totaling my cute little red eddie. I bought my own element. I thoroughly enjoy knowing that all my hard work is paying off. and I have something to be proud of. accomplishment.

All my best friends graduated in 2010.  This feels like forever ago.  I graduated in ’09.

Woke up one day. and decided to try out for SLCC’s cheerleading after a full freshman year at the University of Utah. I ended up making it, and it was one of the best decisions I made in 2010. This team is my family. accomplishment.

Become a lover of longboarding. Spent plenty nights in the summer killin it with all my best friends down canyons, streets, and just about anywhere that we could whip our longboards out of my trunk. accomplishment.

Two amazing trips.

place I love most. Lake Powell. with the people I love most.

Spent the whole year closer than ever to these two amazing girls.

Had a crazy year just being open to new experiences, and new people.  accomplishment.

made a decision I had been contemplating for a while. I finally thought this one through only for myself. stopped worrying about the consequences. stopped worrying about others opinions. did exactly what was going to make me happy. accomplishment. 

I love any kind of communication. I think this generation is extremely lucky to be able to have facebook, blogs, twitter, texting, emails, and more. I guess this explains why I got the calling that I did today. Communications is important. I will never lose touch with the people that I want to talk to for as long as I want. 

I’m anything but stressed out with my life right now. I am as busy as ever. 17 credit hours for the last semester of my sophomore year. working a little more than 3 jobs. Coaching Kearns High School cheer. Sales at Buckle. and a few different tumbling and cheer teaching jobs that I enjoy. I love being busy. and I am truly happy when I feel like I am being productive, and helping others around me.

I am easily entertained. Take tonight.. after me and my best friend spent the weekend relaxing on her couch. after games, after church. when we got sick of that we decided to be our five year old self. we made up stories. if anyone had been listening.. well that would just be embarrassing. after that we put on swimsuits and improvised to make our own hot tub. as we did that.. we rapped. and I mean two hours of making up raps while sitting in a normal household bathtub may sound insane but it sure was entertaining. I was truly happy.

I just want to be remembered. period.

I know its important to be an influence on someone. I want to be a good example to the girls I see everyday. teach others. I want to be thought of as one of the best coaches they have ever had, along with helping them get through the hardest times they will ever face.

There is a ton of things I am looking forward to this year.

I’m blogging for many different reasons. It began as an assignment. now its getting to me. it is almost an addiction. I want to be better at expressing myself. I also want to remember how things are right now. I think it will be interesting to be able to look back and compare then to now.

wackiest advice huh? haha.

I remember one of my favorite cheer coaches of all times saying..

having to go pee before doing a performance of any type is a good thing.

“you’ve gotta hold number one to be number one. if you’ve gotta go number two then you stink.” haha wow. definitely the wackiest

absolutely everything happens for a reason. I know first hand that everything this last year has all happened for specific purposes. I’ve seen it in the way I lost a job, but got two better ones. Made a split second decision that changed my whole life. Let go of two best friends, now I’m experiencing so many blessings for being willing to do that for them.  I’m a lot happier now that I have discovered that what I believe. focus on. trust in. and create. does come true. I am creating the world around me, and it is a great one.
