The other day I left for school pretty early and decided I did not want to wait 20 minutes for my class to start. So I chose to go and get a Jamba Juice. As I am walking out, I see a guy on the side of the street with a sign asking for money. Normally I would see him and walk by without even thinking about it.Today however was different. At first I walked past him but when I reached my car I had a very strong feeling that I needed to help this guy out. I mean, I know that people who are on the street asking for money typically are thought of as drunks and druggies, but if this guy was willing to sit on the side of the road, hold a sign, wear ragged clothes and ask for money(actually he didnt ask he sat with his head down) then I figured he obviously needed something happy in his day. I walked up to him and gave him five bucks. Such a small amount. But the guy looked up at me, smiled really big, and thanked me. I hate that there is no selfless good deed because I felt really good. I dont know his story, I dont need to. But if my five dollars could brighten his day even the smallest amount its worth it.
Basically, I am a cheesy person. I am like this girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUFT35S7Jb4.... yes, enjoy the "she doesn't even go here!" haha. But I feel that way sometimes!! I just wish everyone could be nice and loved and I wish everyone could GIVE nice and SHOW love.
I also wish my best friend Meghan was with me right now. I miss her so freakin much. ugh.

I have GrEaT friends.
Even though I dont feel like I did a whole lot this 3 day weekend, I did have some pretty good moments! Friday I got off work early and Lee was off so he drove out here and we went to YC's which is delicious and its always a good time when Lee and I are together. We are SO FUNNY! Then we went to Gilbert and met up with the other half of our FamBam. We mostly talked politics(weird right?!) But there was ice cream involved which automatically equals a GOOD time! Saturday was a boring day in which I did homework and... not much else. BUT friday night I went to my wonderfully fabulous friend Morgan Rogers house! OH MY LANTA it was SOO good to catch up and talk about life with that girl. We laughed and had rootbeer floats(when was the last time you had one of those bad boys?? I suggest you jump on that cuz it was uber tasty!). Plus her family is just great too! Sunday was a regular ol' Sunday. And today I had the lovely opportunity to sleep in and relax all day. We took Sadie to the dog park and then for a small walk around this random mountain, we also worked on her training. WHICH SHE IS GETTING! Dang my dog is smart! Tonight I went to GCU to pick up my best friend Daron and he and I gave a speech at a Lions Club meeting. The meeting was ok, but mostly I just liked hanging out with him! We also went and visited his family and his puppies! I LOVE his dogs. SO.MUCH. I then came home to waste some time on facebook and play with MY puppy(who is just so darn cute). Speaking of my puppy I think she is finally starting to get the concept that if she rings the bell on our door, we take her outside! She did it like 5 times today!! Although they were all within like an hour and she mostly just was trickin me and didnt need to go potty.... But PROGRESS! Anywho, hope you all enjoyed your 3 day weekend! Sorry to those of you who attend ASU, the school who apparently doesnt think our presidents do enough to be celebrated. Dumb ASU :)

We go in and we tell them we've got an idea for a blog about nothing! They say, "whats your blog about?" we say, "NOTHING!"
This blog post isnt gonna be about much. Here's the thing, my life seems at times like its so incredibly busy. But then days like today, when I finished my homework early, volunteered in the elementary school, went to class, faxed my time sheet and then came home and decided I am poor so I should just stay home all day... I realize my life isnt that busy. So whats a girl to do? Well she could play with her puppy:check. She could work on training her puppy:check. She could go grocery shopping with her roomie:check. OR she could watch Lost. OK! Yep thats what im doing. And for the most part I am not paying attention. I find my mind often wandering to far off places. Mostly the future. I am scared so incredibly so by the future. Why? Because its a mystery. Its the unknown. Its what will come of me.my family.friends. scary.stuff.
yep. thats all you get. I bet you are now irritated at me for wasting your time. Thinking you were in for a great blog post. But honestly, you sill people, I technically warned you with the title of this blog :)

I Hope I Dance :)
Click here: I hope you dance
After listening to this song on the way home from work I started thinking about the meaning of the lyrics. On top of this being a great song to sing to, it has some AMAZING lyrics! In my life there haven't been many times when I "dance". I often let my fears take over a situation or an opportunity and I miss out on what could have been. This is quite unfortunate because the few times I have "danced" have proven to be some of the best experiences I've had. For instance: Camp Tatiyee. Where on earth would I be with out this camp? My first summer there I was 16 years old, never had a job, never been away from home and was rather shy. So many times in that first week I wanted to quit and have my mom come and get me. But I didn't. I danced. And because of that my life was changed.
Here is a line from this song "Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance."

Faith is something we could all use a little more of. It is unfortunate that for a lot of us our loved ones have more faith in us that we do in ourselves. My lack of faith in myself has been an on going battle for as long as I can remember. When I lose faith in myself, I turn to my Heavenly Father to help me find it. So far he hasn't failed me. Another line from the song "Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance" I am a strong believer in the power of prayer and that when we have faith, anything is possible.
This post may be just a bunch of blabbing. But if you gain any insight from it, I hope it is that we need to DANCE more. Take chances! Have faith! Live! Love!
