All I've ever known...

Today the only prophet that I can remember passed away due to incidents of age. President Gordon B. Hinckley, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, died at the age of 97. He is the only one I have ever known or remembered. It has been a bit of a rough week for me and Jamie. First, we found out our grandmother was in the hospital then, we find out a prophet that most of us here in Utah have ever known has passed away. It is strange to me. When I was younger I was afraid of this very day, but today I am at peace knowing he is at peace. My love, thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all who knew him. May God Bless everyone!

Life...or something like it!

It's snowing again today. It snowed yesterday about eight inches after having a week or two of no snow. We already have about an inch and it looks like there will be more coming our way (until about Friday?...We'll just have to wait and see).

I can't believe how long my "to do" list is. For some reason, it just keeps getting longer. I think that once I have settled into school, payed tuition and all that jazz, it will start to get shorter. *crosses fingers* In fact, now that I think about it, I know it will get shorter. Some of the things are on list are for school such as pay tuition (will be done by 1/16), take the CLEP test and the compass test (will be done tomorrow), talk to advisor (will be done no later than Wednesday, and sign up for institute (will be done tonight). Four things on my to do list will be completed by next week at the latest ( more like eight or nine things, but I think I make my point clear). It will be a big relief when my list of literally fifty-six things to do will be reduced to about twenty by this time next week! Although of the things on my list will take time, so I can't expect my list to be completely shortened anytime soon.

Okay, enough about lists. Besides I need to go get ready for church!

New Year...New List(s)

Happy 2008 to everyone! A new year, so hopefully a new start. But a new year and a new start generally means one thing to me...lists. I am kind of weird person in that I make lists for everything, but mostly I make tons of "to do" lists on the back of used paper. I already have tons of things on this list. You would think that two weeks of winter break would make me relaxed. But due to an illness on New Year's Eve, I am rushing to catch up before tomorrow (the first day of winter semester). I also made a list of projects I want to take on this year, a resolution's list, and a list of ideas I currently have (again another weird thing I do...when I have an idea I write it down and store it somewhere where I can't find for a time, then when I find it, I follow that idea!)! Anyways, I better get cracking at that list!
