Remember, if you can make it up, you can make it down!!! After weeks of stress and the inability to take a break from life, finally the moment had come. A three day weekend with no worries of work or school, just a relaxing weekend of enjoying life. It all started on a early Monday morning. Three roommates decided to trek up the side of a mountain, one of the tallest peaks in the valley. They were very well prepared with water, food and a first aid kit. All was well, they had studied the trail and where ready for an adventure. Praying that all would go well they started up. These three hikers were not what you would call out of shape, but they sure were not your Olympic cross country runners. The trail said it was moderate, in other words if you are a beginner this is highly advanced. The first encounter as they started up was not what you would call the friendliest. Being in the spring, mating season, they had to watch carefully for snakes. But in the moment that they ...
From Ordinary to Extraordinary I may be just an ordinary girl, but what does that even mean? Being ordinary according to the dictionary means to be someone with no special abilities or distinctive features. Well that just means that I am no one special right? Are you thinking what I am thinking? Well I guess that means I can't do anything important in life. Well that is wrong!! You can do anything you put your mind to.

Heading out to war This is my story of my LDS Mission in Barcelona Spain She was scared to death...she was leaving for war, a war she could never imagine what she was up against. She was leaving her family behind, it was hard to do so, because her brother also was at war but in a different part of this grand war we are in. Now it was her turn to go, her family told her that if she wanted to go she had to go by herself, they couldn't help her. She knew she had to go. So she did all she could to prepare herself. No idea what lies ahead, no idea what was going to happen. The unknown is the humans worst fear. She lands, in a strange land, a whole new world to her....alone. She goes through a six week boot camp. It's tough but she learns a lot. One night there she looks out the window, the world at war, she hears the cannons, the fire, lights and screams. She was headed out to that in a few weeks. She is safe for know, just learning how to work, ...
