What the F??

My life is crazy right now. So many big, crazy things happening all at once. All of these things make me want to scream out F words! Here is a list of some of the F-words I am thinking of:

Family. 

I love my family so much. I am so grateful for all of them and everything each person has taught me. I'm so grateful for the way I was raised. I was raised to be honest, have integrity, have values, love people and just accept people in all walks of life. If my parents had been the super strict LDS parents, I would have for sure rebelled.

My dad is honestly the BEST person I know. There's nothing not to love about him. My mom is so lovable and has such and amazing heart. Everyone that has worked with her in the theatre just absolutely adores her. Jon has been the perfect older brother to me. He's been such a great example on how to be such a GOOD person. He'll do anything for any of us. Mandy is the best time you'll have. She is always looking out for her lil' brother and has an amazing capacity to love. I'm so glad we have Ali too. She's a riot to have around and loves to push my buttons (in a loving way). She loves the crap out of my brother too, so we'll keep her around ;).

Faith.

I am not the most vocal person about my religion or faith, but right now it's been such a help and comfort to me. I am so grateful I have the faith that my family will be together forever. It's helped me dramatically at this time to be at peace. I am optimistic that I wont have to worry about all that for a long time, but love that I can have comfort in such a trying time.

Friends.

 I have some of the most supportive people surrounding me. I have a tendency to talk people's ears off and my friends will just sit there and listen to me. Sometimes for hours. I know if I need something there are people around me who care about me and my well being. I do have the best best friend a person could ask for too. Don't know what I'd do without her.

Football.

 I LOVE BYU FOOTBALL. Way too much. I am a nut job when it comes to watching my Cougars play. I love football season in general and do love the NFL, but I just can't connect to a pro team like I do my Cougars.

This F includes my other hobbies too. It's so nice that I have a lot of things going on in my life to keep my mind off of the crazy. Performing, softball, basketball, football... I have so many things I love doing and am lucky I have the opportunity to do them.


Sometimes I probably want to scream the other F word too, but I don't. I'm lucky to have learned patience in my life. You can't stress out about things you have no control over. All you can do is stop taking things for granted and cherish the time you have.

 I'm an extremely lucky person to be surrounded by so much good.
