The Optimist Creed, Promise Yourself

To be so strong and calm that nothing
can Disturb your peace and mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity
to every person I meet.
To make all my friends feel that there
is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make the optimist come true.
To think only of the best to work
only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the
success of others as you are about
Your/my own success and achievements.
to forget the mistakes of the past and
Press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature I meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement
of myself that I have no time to critize others.
To be too large for worry.
Too noble for anger.
Too strong for fear.
Too happy to permit the presence
of angry people and trouble.

So, I haven't blogged for a long time now. I've decided I need to do something about that. Life has hit its hard moments and its making me realize what I need to do for myself. Its not every day, that I think about this but somethings remind me of what I should do. Right now, I feel so lost and confused, that its almost like I am in a daze. I know what I want and what my goals in life are but I am not working hard enough for them. So, I decided that I will. You know, I will be more optimistic about stuff and be more positive. Have a better positive energy about me and more social, and more loving, more caring, do more service projects. I will organize my thoughts and write my goals and work towards them. I will work more on me because I haven't done it for awhile. I have been doing too many things for others that I forgot that I need to do somethings for myself. Strange, huh? But it does happen. It can happen to anyone.

Well, I need to give myself a break of life and some of its challenges. And I can't wait to do just that. I hope, I figure things out sooner than later. Life is at its best and we got to make do with what we have; now whether we like it or not is a different story. But we must be more optimistic and serve others. Because everytime we lose ourselves in service, things start falling into place. Heavenly Father can see the change and the true desires of our heart! He will bless us and guide us. I know that is true because it has happened to me before. I can't wait to make the positive changes in my life! Love you all! Take care! And don't forget to lose yourself in serving others because He is on your side!

My crazyness...nope, just new updates...

Hello,
Ok, so not very many people know this. I guess I have been keeping it as a secret..well, not really. My life has been getting a little on the complicated side. I will be getting testing done pretty soon to figure out whats wrong with my stomach....and no, I am NOT pregnant, heck, I am not even married yet!...I need me a man. lol...(sorry, I had a funny thought come to my head that made me laugh) but I do have food allergies...sad day... =(

The last couple of weeks I have been getting REALLY sick. All of the symptoms of allergies to foods that contain gluten. Not just one but lots. Like I can't eat wheat bread, no oats, no strawberries (I just threw that one in there b/c its something that I am also allergic, too), no noodles, no things that contain glutens and its in about everything!....or atleast it seems that way...

Its super annoying, I'm learning what I can eat...so, if you invite me to eat out with you or eat at your home, I'm REALLY sorry if we have to go through a run around till we find something I can have.

Other than that, life is pretty decent. Nothing on the dating scene...which is kinda sad....work is crazy busy. I got to meet the mayor of Provo, he was really nice! And I'm looking forward to having our (Utah's) House of Representative coming to my work's Annual BBQ this summer...he came last year with his wife and son and we get to have them over again this year because they enjoyed it so much..which is totally neat! I'm still in charge of my works BBQ and its a month away and I'm not quite ready yet....ewwk!

Well, other than that, I just got a cute new little nephew. He was born June 20th, 2009 weighing 5 lbs 1 oz. He was a month and 3 days early and is now home with his parents and big brother. He is learning how to breathe on his own and his name is Santiago, and its my sis Claudia's second boy. The oldest is 6 yoa and is SOO happy to be a big brother! I'm really excited to go meet my new little nephew for the 4th of July weekend! This is going to be a fun trip, that I just can't wait!

Oh, oh....speaking, well was speaking about marriage, so I'm talking to my nephew Fabian on the phone and he randomly asked me this:

Fabi: "Do you have a son?"
me: "no"
Fabi: "Do you have a daughter?"
me: "no"
Fabi: "Do you have a husband?"
me: "no, and I don't even have a boyfriend yet. Sad, huh?" (the question was not meant to be answered but the reply caught me off guard just as much as when he first asked me if I had any children)
Fabi: "Well, get a boyfriend already!!"

wow, such a demand from a little child. Kids say the darnest things! And they'll surprise ya, too...lol...oh, nelly.
And my reply to that:
"I'm trying, sheesh, this getting a boyfriend is tough!"

(I guess I'm just not flirting enough)
So, these questions was asked, or "inspired" to be asked because my nephew just got a new little brother and wants a playmate...hint hint to me...( I don't know what to say to this...so, I'm just leave it as is...)

Anywho, I think that sums up on my whereabouts. And fyi, I am still standing strong in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I love being a member and meeting more and more people. Life is wonderful! And I'm living the dream. Hope you are, too!

Yes, I am still alive! Woohoo!

Ok, so, I don't have super amazing news about me. Well, I did go on vacation and that was amazingly fun! Especially taking care of an adorable 6 month old baby and having fun chasing his little sister around the house. Kids are fun and they say the darnest things at times...

So, anyway, I went to this little town that nobody really knows about and its outside of St. George and there is one post office where everyone that lives in that small town gets their mail. Its awesome! And not only that, I actually got to check out Zion's National Park and Kolob Canyon, which by the way, if you ever get a chance to go...DO IT!! Its soo worth it, its amazingly gorgeous!And yes I know, I am not using proper english but oh well its my blog, I don't care, its fun making a sentence that words should just not be there....i guess...lol! =P (hmmm....no wonder my cell phone wouldn't let me do that word (gorgeous), I forgot the e..haha...thats funny) Anyway, yeah, the family that I was with showed me around and I played lots of games and kept some of the 9 to 11 kids busy while their parents were doing other stuff which for me was no big deal.

So, I pretty much realized that after this 9 day trip full of fun...that I need to start cracking on the dating scene and stop being shy when I am around people I don't know and just try to meet new people without being scared what they think of me. Cause what it comes down to, is that I really just need to be me! I don't like being the girl that is over bearing or intimidating and I also don't like explaining or saying my job title at times because its like this huge fancy name but I don't even get paid as much as I could get paid. And really, the job title doesn't explain who I am and say what type of personality I have. But I know I have noticed that when I am around my friends that I am totally comfortable with... I can be pretty loud, silly and fun to be around..and sometimes I embarrass some friends cause I do things that make some of them say, I don't know that girl..and a lot of those times they are laughing when they are saying that, too. But when it comes to being in a big crowd that I don't know anyone...that all goes away...cause all of the sudden I turn to be this super shy chic and all of sudden doesn't have anything to say, nothing interesting to talk about. But really I am full of useful AND useless information. I am random. I laugh at stupid stuff all of the time, some stuff people think that they are not funny but for some odd strange reason I sometimes laugh so hard at what people say (even those things that are not meant to be funny but seem like they are to me (don't ask me why...but..)...I have to make myself go outside so I can breathe and make my stomach stop hurting and my eyes stop crying of joy and of whatever silliness was said or done. Its a funny sight.

And I know I am basically a nerd. I am not ashamed of it at all. I know I am and I don't mind embracing it. And I can talk about just anything but I just chose not, too. And I chose to not to make friends with other cause I just don't know anyone. It always takes someone I don't know to come upto me to talk to me to get me to talk, hence, why I loved my callings at church that made me go up to people I don't know and forces me to get to know others cause it gets me out of my comfort zone and allows me to make new friends. I just wish I would be a little more on the social side and less shy. So, yeah...

So...wow, most of that was just me rambling and thinking outloud. Sorry, but oh well. Its basically the truth. There is no way getting around the truth other than just facing the facts. I am not gonna lie but the dating game sucks here...at least where I am living. I can't wait to move on to another area and I hope where there is people more my age and I hope that I can stop being so stinken shy and just open up and have fun as well as date more or atleast get asked out on dates rather than me asking guys out like I have been. Which not that that's a bad thing but I would like it if the tables would turn alittle. What do I do? I dunno.

Oh, oh, p.s., I will add pictures as soon as I find my chord ( <<< however, you spell that word!...hehehe....) to download my amazing pix! Love ya, bye, ttfn! =)

No more....

Laptop! Its a very sad day.

I was talking to my mom just the other day and told her about my sad news....and then randomly I told her...what if we gave my laptop a proper burial? (I was half-serious...mostly trying not to laugh and just wanted to hear my mom's reaction; having that I can't see her since she is living in another state)...my mom started busting out laughing pretty hard...and then she got to business. And asked, where should we do its burial? would it be proper? (i'm still trying not to laugh but its becoming difficult) I responded, well, it will have to be here since I don't have the money to send it there. And well, it did live a long and prosperous life.

We both couldn't help it anymore. I had waited to long to not laugh and just let it all out.

Ironically, I found a newspaper add on the Deseret News that Carl's Jr had a proper burial for there toilet paper. Dude, that was hilarious. And they gave customer's that actually came to the burial a toilet cleaning agent because apparently that's what the toilet loved to be cleaned. I almost fell of my chair laughing, I could not control my laughter. And by the way, I was reading this while I was at work. The story titled grabbed my attention...lmbo!!! =P Silly people!

Well, I gotta go, I'm doing good! Hope you are too!!

Love ya-
me

Apologizing.

So, I feel bad if I have been complaining a lot lately. I can't remember complaining a lot but if I have. I'm really sorry.

So, with my previous blog. To answer anyone's question... my parents decided to separate. Now, if you really want to know what else is happening with them....well, I'm in the have no idea stage. Because I really don't have any idea whats up. So, thats the pain.

Other than that, I have been really keeping myself busy.

I do have to say, last semester was not a good semester for me. One I got mold in my room, for two, I kept getting really sick...which equals missing a lot of school, work and test for school. And the fact that I didn't have insurance did not help my situation at all to show proof of why I was so sick. Now why I say that, is because I am on probation at school because I failed one of my classes and I have a student loan. This, by the way, really sucks!

So, right now, I am trying to work with my school something where I can get myself out of probation. So far, I don't know what's going to happen. I know its all on the Lord's hand and I will leave it up to him what will happen. I know I wasn't all that motivated in class either which doesn't help at all. What do you do? Try harder and push yourself more.

Well, other than that, last weekend was AMAZING!!! I love being in the Temple. I had an AWESOME time being inside the Temple. And can I just say, I love it? Cause, well, I DO!! The Temple is the BEST place on earth! So AMAZING!!

I love that, though, the difficult times, Heavenly Father still gives me a chance to experience some amazing things. Oh, and now I am an Relief Society Teacher in my Ward, yay, for callings! Which that reminds me, I should probably go look for the schedule to see when I will be teaching next....woops. I will do that right after this.

Well, other than that's it. I have been having an amazing last week and will be more AMAZING when I go to the Temple again!

But for now, I need some rest. So, have a good night! =) Sleep well and don't let the bed bugs bite.

Love ya,
Vee
