A ton of bricks lifted...

To start off this post... I would like to pay tribute to my little sis'! I can't believe that she will be graduating from High School on Friday! It amazes me that she is already at that point in life. She had her Seminary Graduation tonight, and boy I think Friday may be a tough day, I was in tears as she walked acrossed the stage/podium, shaking the hands of her Stake Presidency. I am amazed that my sister has accomplished so much! Congrats Katie! I am excited for you!!!


So to explain the title of this post... I must first explain a little bit of my background. About a year ago, I had a very dear friend break my heart, I had fallen head over heels for this guy and even thought that he might be the one. Well one day he had told me that he was dating another girl at the same time and wanted to become more serious with her, so he needed to end all things with me. This had put me into total shock! I don't even remember what was said from either of us after that, except that he had decided that being friends still would be too rough for him at the moment. From that statement, I decided to just break all ties with him, and have even lost some close friends because of it. Well, to sum things up real quick, I moved with my family to his family's ward, but I attend a Student Ward, so I knew I would be safe not to see him. I wanted it that way, I still held on to feeling and knew that if I were to see him, I could either break down crying or become an angry person. I avoided going to church with my family for all reasons and would just sit home by myself while they had their fun. It came that I thought I might have the courage to at least just see him, so I went to a couple of ward functions, but by my luck... he never attended. Well, I started getting updates from my family, who started talking to him at church, and found out he was engaged to the girl he had left me for. This had rubbed the wound with alcohol, I just couldn't believe it, part of me still thought he might realize that he wanted me more than her and come back. So, to end this long tale, we have not talked for eleven months and had intended not to talk for a very long time, if ever. Well, we happened to run into each other at my little sister's Seminary Graduation. Boy!!! was it a relief! I feel like I have mended a lot of wounds just from a five minute chat. He made me feel like he still cared about me as a person, and that I wasn't just some dumb girl he had dumped off to the side of the street. So, to say the least, finally talking to him today, made a ton of bricks lift off my shoulders.

Yes... I am a GLEEK!

Hello again, I am going to try this blogging thing again. I just love reading friends and families blogs and seeing how exciting and eventful peoples lives are. So I feel it to be better if I put in my little contributions into the blogging world, or maybe just help myself feel like I am not being a creepy stalker. So here I go again!

First off, I cannot express how excited I am for tonight's episode of "Glee" and to see how they twist up Lady Gaga's music. I will be the first one to admit that I hate Lady Gaga, I think her music is a disgrace to the music society. She doesn't know how to sing and her personality is so weird that is has been an instant turn off to me! But... for some crazy reason, I am super excited to see how the cast play off this twist. It should be an entertaining night!

Second off, I must say how excited I am for my cousin, Cyleste, to have her baby today! She is the oldest of the cousins on my Mom's side of the family and is finally having her first after waiting so patiently to find her prince charming and starting a family. Many don't know, including Cyleste, that she is one person I look up to with hope. I feel that I am not alone in the fact that I don't have the opportunity to date much and that I am not as "old maidish" as I think I am at times. With friends getting married galore this year and having tons of babies, I feel very behind in life most of the time and it can be very hard. But, Cyleste showed me that being patient and waiting for the right one to come along is worth it! Ross, her husband, is the best man for her, he cares about her in an amazing way and is going to make the best dad in the world. So to all of you reading, know that Cyleste and Ross Leslie are the reason I am not going crazy and still holding on to hope of finding a great guy one day! Congrats to them on their cute little girl, she is being born into an amazing family!
