If you know me then you know that I love doing things for animal rescues and shelters. I love love loooove working with dogs on social interactions and making sure they are able to go to a good home that is sufficient for their needs. Although I am not as great and as amazing as some other rescue people I know, I like to think that I am able to do my part. This weekend I transferred two wonderful dogs from Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Salt Lake City, Utah. One dog consisted on yelling at me the whole time. She was not a happy camper. I find that working with dogs is a source of therapy, and it is free! It probably sounds weird to the average person, but I truly believe that animals have an understanding of humans. Most importantly, they don't talk back, and they are so much easier to work with than other people. Does that make me sound weird? Oh well, I am who I am and I like it! Hahahaa.
Here is a note to all of the "nice guys." We love you, but we don't always want to admit it. Be patient it is okay to just be "friends" for a while. We like our friends and chances are, we like you the more we get to know you...and golly, do not be afraid to ask a girl out or make the next move. It is ok. Just breath, but please think before you do something(just don't over think it.) I know the whole thing with dating is so frustrating, especially in our LDS culture. I guess I am saying this because I want a chance. I often put on the image that I don't want to move on with my life and make the next step, but I do. Everyone does. However, I am perfectly content with my life. Let me make this clear, I am not marriage hungry or desperate. I am normal and I want the cliche normal life. Who doesn't. Lets be honest here.
Oh by the way, Happy Mormon Holiday Weekend! I love General . While I was driving home today I got to listen to the second session on the radio, it was nice, quiet and peaceful. I got a lot of time to think about stuff. It is mostly stuff that I do not even recall but thoughts always jump from one end to another in a girls mind sooo I guess in a round about way it all makes sense.
I am kind of a hippie and I really just want the best for others and for the world, however, there is no way to officially solve all problems so I am just doing what I can. For example, if you call me at an odd hour in the night and ask for help, I will help. If you call me and admit to doing something stupid, I am going to help. Although it might not seem like it at the time, when I turn you in for doing something stupid when you knew what you did was wrong, you can expect it. I understand that everyone makes mistakes. You just have to pay the consequences of your mistakes. However, there is a biiiig difference from making a mistake and doing something stupid, so I guess what I said probably doesn't make sense. If you make a mistake I will help, if you do something stupid I will also help...I do that out of love for you because I do care, I hope you understand that.

You know what would be cool?
Sometimes I wish people had the capability to read minds. Not that crazy tarot card reading weirdness but the real understanding of knowing what someone is thinking. Wouldn't that be nice? If that happened there wouldn't be confusion or hesitation to ask what the other person is thinking. Its just BAM. We all understand each other.
On another note, it would also be cool if super healthy food actually tasted really good. I just had the most disgusting dinner ever. I never knew spaghetti could be so repulsive. Heh.
Yeah, that's about it.
A good song. Enjoy.

Ramble
I am a nice person and I never attempt to actually hurt anyone. Although it may not always seem like it at the time, I do care about others and want the best for them. The truth is, I really am not a good person to discuss my feelings with unless I am really angry or extremely happy. For anything in between please, for the sanity of the world, be patient with me. Give me the time to wrap my head around the situation. I do not hate you or anyone. I do however, hate when I know people are upset with me or when I feel upset with them.
I guess my reasoning behind that ramble is because I have learned today that I really need to be patient with myself. If you really know me, you know I have the tendency to be a little stubborn. I am learning how to understand that nobody is perfect and that I cannot do everything on my own I am also allowing myself to accept the fact that sometimes people are going to not always use their heads in situations. Everyone is human.
If things go according to plan this summer, I will be working at the Juvenile Correction Center. That will be the big deciding factor if I have actually chosen the right major or not. Either way, I am really excited for the possibility of this opportunity. I love to study people and the teenage years are the years that I love to study the most. I am a firm believer that you must pay the actions of your consequence and that you deserve a second chance through the payment of such consequence.
One more thing, the power of service is amazing. A very wise professor of mine from a few years back told me, "If you take care of others, God will take care of you." This statement has been in the back of my mind every day since I heard that. It is so true. If you really do spend time putting others before you, amazing things will happen. You will be blessed, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

The Cliche Post
I guess it is traditional to start out with a cheesy/cliche post. The D word. The most devastating thought for those of us who are single. Dating.
I don't know about you but I love people watching. Watching those super clingy couples everywhere is getting pretty obnoxious but it is some how cute at the same time. The only problem with that is, it reminds me that my social clock in the Mormon world is clicking. In the words of many, because I am ohhh sooooo old at the age of 21, I will probably be the next Sheri Dew. The reality is that I have accepted my act of singleness and have gone to do better things with my life. Going out and volunteering to rescue animals, to work with others has made my life more complete than anything ever has. So guess what world, stick it. I love my life.
I don't mean that to sound negative, I just don't like being told what to do. I do want to get married some day and start a family but my time is just not yet. As I have grown older and somewhat reflected about my life, I have realized that all of those times I thought I was in love, I wasn't. I really just liked the idea of being in love. As I have realized that over time it has probably made me look bitter, I am not. I am just waiting for someone with enough spunk to come in and show me that I have been wrong. So if you are out there, please feel free to show me the other side.
^I think this is as openly cheesy I will ever be able to get for now...
