I Miss Blogging!

It's been forever since I've blogged! I was being board looking at my old posts and I forgot how much I loved it! Gosh, I need to blog more. So, here I go...again! lol I'm going to be more involved with my lonely blogs. =p I have a new blog, more of a photo blog for my lovely boyfriend, he's leaving for his mission to Hawaii (such a surprise! lol) in September! I'm uber excited for him but I will miss him soooooo much! I can't wait for him to leave so he can be back in my arms again! he will be the best Missionary ever! I love that kid so much that I'm waiting for him! Yeah, 2 years is a long time but not for eternity. So I've got a little bit of catching up with you guys... My summer was sooooo AMAZING! I spent it in Las Vegas with family and my boyfriend, Spencer. 2 months wasn't long enough. Some of the things we did was going tubing down the river in Zion, it was such a blast! I also went to a scrapbooking convention to help my aunt Susan with her both. Her product is growing so fast and its a genius idea. I wish her good luck with it! We took a weekend to visit my grandparents in Overton, NV. It was so fun to play capture the flag in the dark with glow stick as flags (thanks for the idea spencer). Well, I'm back home in Sacramento missing spencer but I start working again and school will begin on the 24th! Tuesday and Thursdays from 9am to 10pm, this will be fun...xp I can't wait to start my first LDS Institute class this semester too! Up coming events: Ward camp out with family and my friend Kris is visiting and SPENCER too! I'm way excited! Our 1st Andrade/James Family reunion is in September and we are going to lake tahoe! I'm starting to get the hang of driving and hope to get my licence real soon.
SO EXCITED FOR LIFE!

I Can't!

I always tell myself that I can't! I can't do that, it's going to be to hard. I can't win, why bother trying. I can't travel to far away places. I can't pass that test. I can't be the best photographer. I can't transfer to that school. I can't do math. I can't eat that, it looks gross! I can't do that, it doesn't fit into my life. I can't scuba dive, surf or go boggieborading, I can't I'm to scared! Well, all these thing are holding me back so that I can't enjoy my life. I need to stop telling myself I can't and tell myself I can! There is nothing stopping me from doing what I love or trying new things. Who cares if I'm scared...just suck it up and do it, it might end up being fun. So, I'm telling y'all that I have a new goal! To never tell myself I can't when I can!

Following Dreams

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Said Eleanor Roosevelt. Family and friends in my life have always encouraged me to follow my dreams. Learning to follow my dreams has affected my life by doing what I love and being happy with my life. I always thought that it was important for me to follow my dreams. Following your dreams can make you rich in many different ways. Some people say that you are rich when your life is filled with happiness.
My family has always told me important things in my life but the one that stuck with me the most is leaning to follow your dreams. They tell me all the time that I can do anything if I just put my mind to it. One thing that I have worked hard for is being able to save up money so I can travel during the summer. My friends and I always told each other to make our lives our own. We’d thought that being the most fashionable person in school was a label and we wanted to break through the stereotypical labels to be our selves.
I have learned to follow my dreams through life lessons and watching what others did with their lives. My mother has had many opportunities in her life but had to pass them up due to having two kids at a young age. When I watch my mom go through plenty of struggles in her life it makes me want to take every opportunity that comes my way in life and to never let anything get in my way. Learning to follow my dreams has helped me find out who I am as a person. I think that my dreams and my goals have defined me as a person. Being able to fulfill them shows others that I am determined and motivated.
I have many dreams and goals I want to accomplish in my life. I am very determined to finish college and get a degree in Hospitality and Tourism. I have always like the travel industry. I have a personal goal to transfer to BYU Hawaii to get my Bachelors Degree. I would someday like to end up owning or co-owning a hotel in an exotic place. One thing that will always help me reach my dreams and to accomplish my goals is the support I get from my family and friends. I know they will be at the sidelines cheering me on.
I love my family and friends very much for always being there and supporting me in the decisions I make in life. They are the motivation that keeps me going. I am very found of the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. Always look for the beauty in your dreams and to believe in them to lead you to great things and great places.
