Who I am... and a secret???

Hi all,
I am supposed to be studying for my upcoming tests, which I am feeling so much anxiety for, I get to take them next week but the thought of them are making me feel so overwhelmed. So instead of studying I thought I would let the world get to know me more. My friends that know me well, will tell you I am a unique individual, which doesn't bother me to hear, because why fit in, when I was born to stand out. I have been compared to an onion, because once you think you know me, I will say something or do something that they were not expecting. I think it is a good thing to have depth to a personality.  Don't you agree? 
This year, in the mist of everything I have been going through, I have adapted a motto, which I live by and that is: I am stronger than I think I am, I didn't know how strong I was, until I have gone through what I have been through this last year.
I love how life is one challenge after another, followed by many, many more. I look at my life and I know my Father in Heaven is preparing me for something, bigger and I will need these experiences to draw from. To say I am strong and tough, because I can do hard things. (This is the pep talk I always give myself) it works like a gem.
Keeping that in mind, this year I have also taken the time to get to know what makes me, me! What things do I truly love to do, and what do I not like to do. What makes me happy and what do I dread to do? I have found there is a lot I love to do! I would like to share a few things that make me so happy, through picture! 

I love being outside, I love hiking!

I love to look at the views from high places! 

Learning how to rock climb! 

I find peace in the mountains! 

Love hanging out with my friends!

 

Love being goofy! 

Love burning marshmallows!

I love finding things, like a rope swing and playing in the wilderness 

My friend break-dancing at the top of Mount Timp 

Love learning new things.
 I may not have a lot of street smarts, but I love learning!
I am a nerd and am learning to love that part of me! 

Love making new friends! 

Traveling to hang out with friends! Learning to fear the Tree ( Stanford) 

I am hooked and want to learn how to paraglide! Best thing ever, I wish I was bird! 

My Grandpa and my little brother! Two of my favorite people in this world. 

My papa and I! 

Being around kids! 

Love hanging out with my Nephews!

Love my niece! She is a princess!

I hope this gives you a better idea of who I am. I should also let you all in on a secret, I only take pictures when I get bored. So to you out there that haven't seen me take a picture you have done a good job at keeping me entertained.

I just realized the time and need to be off to a study group.

As always thanks for reading! 

Excuses Contain and Cover the Truth!

Hi all,
I feel bad, I have neglected this blog. I have been buried underneath homework, I really don't have a social life anymore. Which is a good thing, actually no it's not:) I miss hanging out with my friends, I have a few friends I haven't seen in over a month and they only live three doors down from me. I love school though, it does give me a good excuse out of doing things, I don't want to do, cause I have the excuse of my never ever ending homework. I always have something to do, something to read, something that needs my attention. It never ever ends.
I also have neglected this blog due to health problems. The doctors aren't quite sure what I have, I know it isn't contagious. I have been suffering for the last 4 months, I have fatigue and aches and pains, followed by weakness, and dizziness. Yes, I do eat, and I crave salt!
The past two weeks have been scary for me in one of my check-ups they discovered some lumps and the doctors thought I had cancer. Thank heavens and praises and prayers, the test came back that, I just have a few cysts, that were benign.
Nothing scarier than facing reality you may have cancer. This is the third time this year doctors have thought I have had cancer, and each time the scare has come out that I don't. It amazes me, how a scare like cancer can make you rethink your life. Rethink your priorities, each time, I find myself rethinking my choices I have made. I find myself thinking about my relationships, especially with my father in heaven. Each time the fear has consumed me, and this last time, I was prepared with what I would do, where I would live, where I would get treatments from. It was too close for my comfort. I find that life is truly an adventure and we never know when it is our time to go. I am thankful for knowing that I have a loving Father in Heaven who knows my name and loves me. He has been my strength and my shelter for my heart. Though I have suffered a lot, he has lessened the blow of the pain. He has loved me through the pain. He has made some really bright sunny moments.  My Father in Heaven has put people in my life that I needed and still need. I know if you are going through a tuff time in your life the Lord will help you through it if you allow him too!
I just realized the time and I need to be off and running. Before, I do, I just want to say that I am going to try to get better at blogging. I am going to try to be better at posting. I know my grammar may not be the best, for which I am sorry, but I know as I continue to write it will get better.
Thanks for reading!

My life is what it is...

Hi all,
My life is what it is, crazy busy, with work, school and not to mention a dating life that most girls would dream about, or maybe are scared of. I haven't really decided which it is for me, but I am thankful for it.
The last few days I have been thinking about my life, and I have learned many a thing about me. I am going to share a few of those things I have learned to all of you.
Growing up I loved math, looking back at my life, my math teachers where there supporting me with it,  and I never seemed to have the self-confidence I needed in myself to believe that I knew, I was good at it. I never wanted to see it. I have struggled with myself esteem cause I don't want to seem prideful. But I have gained confidence to know that I know I love math and am learning to like physics which is just math in story form. haha
The second thing I learned, is, I am smarter than I give myself credit for, not to brag or anything, but lately I have been asked to count up how many different languages I speak, and I will list them off for you:
English,
Spanish,
Mongolian
American Sign Language
Exact Sign Language
Mongolian Sign Language
and I am currently learning Chinese
Another thing is, life is too short, we never know when we are going to die, and it is to short not to enjoy life and experience everything there is too in this world. For adventure is the greatest thing ever.
I have learned that I love the great outdoors, hiking biking and all the fun things there is to do in the wilderness. Like lately, I have started to summit mountains and the feeling at the top is one that cannot be expressed adequately. I love the outdoors.
And the last thing I have learned is I am free to be me, I come across a bit ditsy is what my friends say, then once you get to know me, you are amazed that someone has a brain like mine. A deep thinker. I know I know sound way arrogant and all, I promise you I am not at all. Or at least I don't try to be.
I need to get back to studying and trying to get out of the homework hole I find myself in.
As always thanks for reading.
