TO SLEEPY JEANE! MY MOST AWESOME SISTER!

So, Last year I did shout outs to my best guy friends and this year I decided to do something for my siblings! I love them loads.
   This one is for my most awesome sister! Why is she most awesome? Because she's always been there for me. My parents say that when I was born she was there sitting in the corner. When we were kids we didn't always get along, but as adults she's become one of my best friends who I feel I could talk to forever! She's always cared about when I'm hurt or what's going on in my life. She's inspired me to be the best I can be no matter how many times I get knocked down! Today is her 28th Birthday, but to me she doesn't act a day older than 24... Yeah, she's that awesome! Any time I'm with her I love getting pics with her. When we were kids people used to call us by each other's names... it's something that has bugged each one of us. Looking back on it I feel very blessed to be her baby sister! Now for some pictures... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEANE!!!!!!


This is when I graduated from high school she unexpectedly kissed me on the cheek! Love her!

We raced down the Alpine slide. She won.

And so it begins...

So, it's a new year... which brings me to new thoughts and new actions! First off, I started another blog! This one just happens to me about something I have grown to love. When I was younger I must say I didn't like it much, but now... it's one of my favorite pass times! READING!!!!! It's a blog about all the books I've read throughout the years... including children's books! I decided to do reviews for parents, teachers, and just people in general looking for a good book to read! So far it's going slow, but I'm reading like crazy! I just need to sit down and write all of my reviews on the books! http://francsreviews.blogspot.com/ there's the site if you'd like to visit! Get the word out about it too! It's going to be loads of fun for me!

Now, I've also changed a few things about myself and am working on many other ways to change this year. First, I'm working on losing about 50 lbs! I work out nearly every day (except sunday) and have loads of fun doing it... even if I'm exhausted afterwards! I've lost at least 10 lbs already!

Something else that's changed... I'm trying a different route to get my certification. It's going extremely slow right now because the documents aren't wanting to print, but I think it'll work! And if it does... I kinda want to work at Sylvan Learning Center! My Dream is to help children, and since the more I see how much politics is in schools these days... the more I want to help by not being in the school, but by being a tutor!

Finally, as of late I've really considered moving to Washington (state). Why? Because I have a friend there that is in some of the same situations I am, and I really think I need to move and get a fresh start! We'll see what happens this year though!

May God Bless EVERYONE this year and may you find the joy and happiness in your life even with all the trials that try to beat you down!

Maybe this year will be better than the last...

As this year draws to an end I hope for many different things... Among them is the hope that this next year will be better than the last! This last year was pretty awesome, but I must say I'm thrilled that is almost over. I graduated in April with a bachelor's in Elementary Education (didn't have one test passed so, still haven't gotten my certification). In May I went to Rexburg for my birthday, and then I took a trip with my mom to Louisiana and was able to see a friend from high school graduate college in the exact same thing I did. Then in June I made my first trip of the year to Colorado... this time it was to babysit for my sister and brother-in-law who were going to Hawaii on a trip they got from Grandma! Kinda nice! It was a pretty awesome trip except for the fact that I got sick. I went through the temple to receive my endowments and had my whole immediate family here and some close friends... Well, then in July I went up to Rexburg again, but this time for the test which I proceeded to not pass again. August was a kinda chill month where not much went on, and I got ready to go to New England for a friend's wedding, and it was nice to see a part of America I hadn't seen before! In October I went to Rexburg again for Halloween because I really wanted to see the Halloween Concert! In November I went to Colorado again, but this time for Grandma's 89th birthday! Then, in the beginning of December I went to Rexburg again for the test (still don't have test scores, but hoping to get them soon because I need to pass this test). My last trip of the year however, was to Colorado for Christmas! It was overall a very wonderful time to spend with family (despite all the craziness that is my family I still love them)! I must say though... I'm glad I can finally not worry about going anywhere or doing anything except finding a job. I want to move on with my life and turn over a new leaf and try and support myself so that maybe some day in the future I can support a family too! Living with my parents has been pretty good, but I'm getting tired of not being able to truly do my own thing and always having to answer to someone. I hope this next year I can not only have a job, but also move out of Utah! We shall see though! Happy New Year to all!
