Oh hello! :)
Yeah life just keeps moving on! I can't believe Christmas is only a few days away. I can't believe that this year has been as fast as it has! Which I am so thankful for.
I look back and wonder how it has been 2 months since I thought my life was falling apart. Wow, I was WRONG! Life is so much more different than I ever thought, but it's actually so wonderful right now! Nothing has really changed that much, but it just feels like something great is going to happen! I don't know what...but it feels pretty spectacular! What is that feeling called.....anticipation? Yeah probably. I just don't know what I am anticipating.
But I do know that my days in Tooele are numbered...(yes!). Maybe that's the anticipation? hmm I have no clue. 2 weeks until I am in Ephraim! :)
Well I have some random useless news for you. My car hates me even more now. On Monday, it decided to die on me at the bank. Mom got it up and running again. Ugh, but last night frustrated me to no end. The seat belt buckle broke!! I am so angry. I really don't like my car...why should I..when it hates me? I am really surprised it is still half alive. Seriously, it's been on it's last string for about 4 years.
2011 has been a good year overall. Not by the events, but because of the way I handled them. I am ready for 2012 though, and I have a feeling it will be a pretty swell year!
My next post will probably be a letter to 2011.
See ya then!

The Perfect Man
I feel sometimes we as girls get into the notion that the perfect man is out there. We search for the one who has never made mistakes, and one who will never do anything but make us happy. We want one who promises this after that. So after all the time we spend searching, we pass up so many potentially great matches. I don't believe in soulmates but I do believe in the perfect couple..and I do believe in the perfect man.
"Alix, are you crazy? You just said there was no such thing as the perfect man!"
Yes, good job. I did say that. The way the world defines the perfect man (like I did previously) is not a perfect man at all.
A perfect man is not one who has never made mistakes, but one who has made mistakes and has learned and grown from it. He asks forgiveness from the Lord and becomes perfected in Him. (This applies to women too.)
^feel free to quote me..I googled it an couldn't find anyone who had said it before.
My perfect man is out there and he has made mistakes. He has learned and grown from them and has been perfected in Him. He sees his worth.
I'm a human and I've made mistakes as well. I've learned and grown from them, and because of the Lord I have been perfected in Him.
Maybe I already know my perfect man, and maybe I don't. I guess only time will tell. And really, that is not a problem at all. :)
In other news:
26 days to move in day! I am so excited! I've got some fun plans down there.

Poetry
NOTE: There is no particular person I wrote this about. Just fyi.
Dear Prince Charming,
I've been waiting for you all my life.
Are you waiting for me too?
I'm hoping one day to be your wife,
so here's some clues for you.
I want to be the one you laugh with,
the one who sees you through.
I'm hoping you just aren't some myth,
So..how was it?
I totally made this up as I went along, so I tried to make it have a direction the best I could. haha.
Dear Prince Charming,

so here's some clues for you.
I want to be the one you laugh with,
the one who sees you through.
I'm hoping you just aren't some myth,
and will cheer me up when I feel blue.
I want to be your best friend,
and one who tells the truth.
Let's stay in love until the end,
as if we're always in our youth.
When we fight we'll talk it out,
and end it with kiss.
There'll be no need to doubt,
because each day with you is bliss.
Then we'll want to have some kids,
and teach them right from wrong.
Life will be full of bids,
but I know they'll grow up strong.
Mommy and daddy will be a team,
and cheer our kiddos on.
Our family will be sweeter than cream.

Treasure the moments cause soon they'll be gone.
I want to grow old with you,
and be your only one.
Our love will still feel new.
Our journey on Earth is almost done.
Whoever gets to Heaven first,
I hope that we will say,
I've been waiting for you my love.
Have you been waiting for me too?

The Curveball
Life threw me a curveball and I knocked it right out of the park!
I look back at the moment when I was thrown the curveball and remember that at first, I was trying to avoid it. But if I wanted my team and me to be happy I had to put all my might into the swing. The ball was inches away from hitting my bat, and when I hit the ball, I put it right back into play. When I did, it was quite an empowering moment.
Sure, I just used a baseball analogy. And perhaps I just described baseball all wrong, but even if I didn't...I'm sure you get the gist of what I am saying....at least in analogy form.
I had every reason to be upset. For the first week, all I could think about was why me? My life is over.
I wasn't happy at all. I had every right to be confused and upset about it so I was going wallow as long as I felt necessary as long as it didn't carry onto week 2. But once I had my week of moping, I told myself to knock it off! Naturally, I wanted to go back to moping, but everytime I moped, it only made me more miserable and upset. I didn't want to feel that way anymore. I prayed to have this burdening feeling lifted off my shoulders. I went to sleep, and the next morning when I woke up, I had this new felt energy running through my veins! IT WAS AMAZING! Sure, I still looked at the last week with sadness, but I decided to not to let it take over my life anymore.
Two years ago, I pictured my life today so differently than what it is now. Why shouldn't that send someone into a week of hurting? It would to just about anyone. But the different thing from now compared to that week of hurting, is that I am a completely different person. Oh sure, there are still the same ol Alix quirks that came along but when I prayed to have the burden taken away...I became Happy-Alix-Despite-The-Situation. Which yes, I believe is a very valuable attitude to have acquired by such a learning experience.
I have decided to live my life to the best that I know how. You can't go wrong when you are doing what is right. If I take care of myself and be the best me I can be, God will take care of everything else.
I've been a good girl, learned from my mistakes, embraced the lessons I've learned, and I feel grateful that I can recognize that in myself.
My life is turning around! :)
I get to apply for school on Monday, and I have a date on Friday!
When life turns out differently than expected, take it as an opportunity! :) You certainly get your happiness back ten fold.
