Hey all! So just a quick update on how things have been!
I started classes on Monday. It is kind of overwhelming. Most of my professors are totally crazy but overall I really am enjoying myself! I feel like I am finally doing the right things for myself by being here! I think that being away from Spokane for a little while is just what I need emotionally and Spiritually. I have been thinking a lot lately about the church and I really have no reason other than fear to not go back. It is time that own up to my mistakes! I have really messed things up for myself.
When I get down to the center of where it all started I come to one conclusion. I let Satan instill fear in me rather than letting the power of Christ and his love for me guide my decisions. I lost track of what is really important to me all because I was too scared to get my hands dirty. I was being selfish. I wanted to give up because in the end I am tired of adversity but that is not Heavenly Father's plan for me. He is preparing me for something bigger than I could ever imagine and it is time that I let him take the wheel again!
I really need one thing right now from everyone. Support. But for the first time in my life I feel like I am in the right place at the right time and I like it!
Goodbye for now!

P.S. Sorry I don't have any pictures up! I am lame and forgot my memory card adapter at home when I moved down here!

Alright I am not quite sure how this works but I will get the hang of it I'm sure!
I would like to write my first blog introducing myself. I am an 18 year old female who just graduated from John R. Rogers High School in Spokane, WA. I am starting my freshman year of college (tomorrow actually) at Washington State University. I plan on studying Preliminary Law with a major in Political Science and a minor in Philosophy. I come from a broken home but I am lucky enough to have parents that don't hate each other. Well, not anymore at least. :)
I have a huge family consisting of 4 sisters: Audrey who is 26, Cassy; who is 21 and is married with two beautiful boys Adrian, 3 and Kyler, 1, Sharon, who is 21 also and is my step- sister but I love the same anyways. She is pregnant with her first child. And finally Kimmy. She is 15 and a Sophomore in High School. She is sassy and the funniest member of my crazy family. I also have 3 brother. Jessie is 28 and lives in the tri-cities with his wife and their 5 children: Jeslyn, Zayid, Aliona, Payton, and Gracie. My brother Mike is 27 and is with a wonderful women whom we are hoping he decides to settle down with. Ricky is 19 and is expecting a child with his girlfriend from high school.
I was baptized Mormon 6 years ago. (WOW it has been a long time) I am fell away after a very traumatic event happened with my father but I pray that I will have the strength to return someday. It has been a crazy journey for my thus far, but I know that with faith and the knowledge that Heavenly father has a plan I will get very far in life.
Well, goodbye for now and I plan on keeping this updated quite frequently.
