I Finished it!!

I started a quilt for Robert back in February and I just finished it! I started it and then kept taking these huge breaks. It turned out really cute though. It is kinda small though....no fun! He really likes it though!! I am so excited for Momma to be here in just a few weeks. We will have a lot of fun and she will get to meet Robert for the first time. I might oughtta be nervous because we all know how momma is ;) I am really liking Microbiology. It is probably my favorite class that I have taken. I have been going to the gym and jogging lately. It helps me to feel good. However, running and being on my legs so much has been hurting them. It isnt a sore feeling, it is more of a they are going to give out on me any time....but not like noodles either. Haha. I know, I am kind of a weirdie! Other things...hmmm....I love my life and yeah, Im a little nervous for the future, but more than anything, I am so excited. I know there are a lot of good things in store. I am so happy with the way things are though. I have been given so much in this life. I know I am one lucky girl!

The Weekend is HERE!!

I am so glad that it is Friday. My class got canceled today, so I got an extra day for the weekend and we dont have school Mon or Tues! I am going to Boise for the weekend. I really like going there. I think Robert's family is really great. It makes me miss home and feel at home all at once. School is going really good. I am doing awesome in Microbiology because I really love studying it. I think part of it is that my teacher is super enthusiastic. I am so lucky to live with little miss Rebekah Diane. She for sure takes care of me...and trust me, I need it! Haha! I do love being the baby of the family!! I love how my family is always there for me. I am constantly being helped out by them in some way. They are the very best. I am so glad that I can talk to them openly about anything too. We are just like that, ya know? I would be pretty lost without them. Mom is coming to visit in just a few weeks! I am sooo very excited. I love that crazy lady and trust me...she is crazy, but only in the best way possible! I really do love my life. It has been too good to me. I decided that life really can kick you in the pants and twist you up in knots....pretty much, it can be tough. Then, it came to my mind that I have EVERYTHING and MORE to be happy about!! I love that. Anyway, I need to make some lunch before I leave! Have a great day!!

Dear GinBug

Today I found out that my little Ginny Lou reads my blog daily...so, I am updating this for her!
Well, Miss GinBug, I cant say that too much is new...but I will tell you a few things. I have myself the cutest boyfriend in the whole world! You will have to find one like him when you are old enough. He is making me french toast right now! He cooks pretty yummy! He really likes kids and I bet he will play with you a whole lot when he comes to Tennessee. I really like him a whole lot. I need you to meet him so I can get your approval! I tell him all about you and I am pretty sure he thinks you are cute. He has two little nephews and they are so cute!! You would like playing with them.
School is pretty tough, but I really like it a lot. I am taking Microbiology and a Book of Mormon class. I love microbiology. I study things like why people get sick and about little bugs that are everywhere that are too little for anyone to see! You should take this class one day!!
Ginny, I am pretty sure I am one of the happiest girls alive. My life is so good. I will be seeing you soon my little princess. Love you so much!

So What if I am IN LOVE?

My life has been absolutely incredible. I am staying in Rexburg for the summer and I am so excited. I am living with Becky and Megan and for the first time since I started college, I have my own room! YES! Things with Robert are great. He is way too cute and guess what? I love him! haha! Who would have ever thought, right?! I went to Boise to visit him over the break and let me tell you, it was the most incredible time of my life! Let me give you a little agenda
Friday- We got to Boise and Brett made us lunch...gourmet grilled pb&j sandwiches...Ha. It was different, but not too shabby. We went and visited with Rob's family for a while and then went to a huge bonfire. There were dirt bikes, jeeps, mud, and a little pond. It was so much fun. Dirt bikes are so much fun, but are a little scary!
Saturday-Easter Egg Hunt and motorcycle ride. Morgan and I took turns riding with Rob and his dad. It was so much fun! Motorcycles are the best...I really want one! That night, we drove about 2 hours to get to this "Indian" hot spring as Rob called it. It was totally secluded and we had to walk a little ways to get there. It was in this stream on the side of a mountain and oh my gosh, it was so incredible. The pines around us looked so high and the stars were so clear and they didnt even seem that far away. It was amazing.
Sunday-We went to church and then that night we went to Table Rock. It is way up on the top of a mountain and it overlooks all of Boise. It was beautiful! I'm pretty clumsy, so I was careful on the edge of the cliff thingy...Ha, Rob asked me to please not fall so I knew that I had to be careful! Around 1 in the morning, we went to this old run down country diner called Merrits. There was a jukebox and plenty of good music. We ate there and jammed out. I loved it!
Monday-We took it easy and didnt do too much. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings...mmmmm....and then that night just watched a movie at a friends. It was a nice day!
Tuesday-We went to downtown Boise and walked around. I really like Boise a lot. It was fun. We left there and I cooked dinner for the Dilgards and then had to head to Idaho Falls to pick Rebekah up from the airport.
It was a little sad to leave. I seriously love Robert's family! They are hands down some of my favorite people yet! I had had so much fun and didnt want to go back to Rexburg. And the verdict is....I am so in love! haha! it is a little ridiculous, Im not even going to lie! School starts Monday and Im excited. I am only taking microbiology, but that is supposed to be a pretty demanding class. I am going to give it what I've got though! Life is so good. I love it...A LOT! I miss everyone terribly and hope to see yall soon! I love you SOO MUCH!

The first one who stole my heart...

Today, is my first niece's birthday...Ginny Christine. She is 7 as of today. It is crazy how fast life happens. This is just a little something for the little girl who stole my heart. Ha, yes, she was the first person to take it!

I knew when I saw your bright blue eyes
and heard your soft baby cries
You had taken my heart
right from the very start
You made even my soul smile
You could never cramp my style
So now you are seven
My own piece of heaven
Youre growing up so fast
Make every second of it a blast
Always remember to laugh
Stay focused and on the right path
You are only the best
Dont let anyone tell you less
I cant want to see you
Or even get a hug or two
Happy birthday Princess

I love you so much baby girl!! I miss you so much!

Starting Today...

I wanted to put up a post that I could look at when I needed a little encouragement or a little something to remind me where I need to be.
Starting today...right now, I am going to love those around me. Everyone...the ones that drive me crazy or the ones that make me want to scream, I am going to search for the good qualities and not only am I going to try to see those things, I WILL see those things.
Starting today....I am going to be slower to anger. I can have a temper sometimes and sometimes I just need to breath. I am not going to let little things set me off and if something is about to upset me, I am going to count slow and evaluate the situation. I am going to try to see things from different angles.
Starting today...I am going to put more effort in to my school work. I am going to try to get things done and not procrastinate and start caring more. I want to be able to accomplish my dreams and I know that in order for that to happen, I am going to work harder and do better than I have been.
Starting today...I am going to be a better sister, daughter, friend, aunt, roommie, etc. I can only do this if I am doing what I can to be the best me. I want to let my parents know how much they mean to me and I dont want my siblings or anyone else in my family or my friends to think I take them for granted...which brings me to my next point.
Starting today...I am going to appreciate people more. I love people, but I am guilty of taking them for granted sometimes. You never know when you are going to lose someone, so it is important to always appreciate them for who they are. Everyone has something to contribute. I love that we are all different and we can each spice life up a little!
Starting today...I am going to be more honest...To myself and to others. When I feel something, I am going to say it. I am going to strive for that integrity that a lot of people spend their whole lives searching for. I want that peaceful feeling when I am all alone and nobody else is around to influence how I feel.
Starting today...I am going to enjoy life. I do enjoy life, dont get me wrong! I just want to not take it for granted either. I dont want to sleep my life away. I want to make everything a little bit more meaningful. I want to love who I am and everything I do! I want to be able to look back on what is going on now when I am 45 and realize that everything I did taught me something. I am going to make the most out of this life!!
There is always room for improvement and I recommend that those of you who read this make your own "starting today" list and figure out what you want to do starting today. Remember, too often tomorrow's turn into wasted yesterdays....I think that is a quote by Pres Monson in so many words....Dont let that be you! Have a great week and I love yall!!

Oh and by the way, the picture at the top is from our toilet overflowed and I thought it was the most hilarious thing in the whole world...Im not the one who clogged it, but I helped with the cleanup effort. I dont think I have ever laughed that hard over a flooded toilet!! hahaha!!

Meant to Be

Those words are so cliche and to be completely honest, I dont believe in them. This is not me being bitter. I am absolutely great, actually. What I believe in is things are going to have to work one way or another. When there is an obstacle in your way, you are going to have to work around it. Situations can have an impact on the way you feel, but overall, happiness is a conscious decision. I want to consciously be happy and know that I am living my life in a way that I can look back on one day and be proud of. Lately I have been thinking about going on a mission. I feel so weird saying that, especially because I am a girl. I do not want people to think that I want to do this because things didnt work out with a boy. I have always thought going on a mission would be incredible and I think it would be greatly beneficial. I have a gift with people and I want to use it to help them and show my love for them.
Anyway, I have been keeping myself pretty busy with school work and my friends. I love my roommies and neighbors and we seriously have so much fun together. I am a fun lover. Welp, people were getting on to me for not blogging recently and this is all for now. Much love! -Chare
