Life (:

Well I figured it was time for a regular post from me! I haven't really been up to much lately, just school and homework. Things have been going pretty well this semester so far. Except for the reading is SO intense this semester, we are reading 400+ pages a week for all six classes combined so it is CRAZZZY! But O well I will survive I am sure. Other then school my life is pretty boring! I hang out with Dustin and my family as much as possible, but it is mainly just on the weekends! It is so nice to go down and see them. I feel like I get a little bit of a break!

On Feb. 25th I will have an interview for an intership in Nebo School District. We will find out that night whether we received the internship or not. I am really nervous!! If we receive the internship I will go to school full-time through the summer and start teaching my VERY OWN class this August. If I do not receive the intership I will just have two more semesters after this one, and will graduate in Spring of next year. It is crazy that it is so close now. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Here are some recent pictures of everything :)

YAY! I love this boy soo much :) He's the best!!!

Day 25-30 :)

day 25- what I would find in your bag

You Would find: gum, tampons (of course), my wallet, keys, chapstick, lip gloss, and that is about it :)

day 26- what do you think about your friends

I love all of my friends. I have stayed close with a few people from high school which I really enjoy, and I have made new friends along the way. My friends really are the best and like I have said before I got blessed with great people in my life. :)

day 27- why are you doing this 30 day challenge

I started doing this because a lot of my friends were doing it on their blogs, and I thought it would be pretty fun! I have enjoyed it.. but some of the things are kind of dumb :)

day 28- a picture of you from last year and now, how have you changed since then?

I think that the only real thing that has changed on my physical appearance is my hair. It has gotten way longer and it is a different color. My attitude has changed a lot since last year, and it has been a really great change. I am so much happier, and I LOVE IT!

Last year..... &....This year

day 29- in this past month, what have you learned

To be honest within the past couple of months I have learned so much about myself, and how to make myself a better person. The last few months have been pretty tough: my great grandma passed away, my little brothers' dad passed away, some other things in my personal life went wrong. It really has been a roller coaster, but I tell you what it has sure made me a stronger person. I have changed a lot in the past couple of months for the better I feel like. It was like I was always complaining about something. I realized after a few things happened that I needed to change my attitude or else I was going to be miserable my whole life. I decided that I needed to start being happier, and realize the good things in my life before they all passed me by. I am so glad that I was a "big enough person" to admit my fault and work towards changing it because so many good things have came from this change. Also, I have learned that I was so worried about trying to make everyone else happy and pleased around me that I wasn't making myself very happy. I know in life we tend to live it for other people, but sometimes we need to make ourselves happy. I am glad that I have made some better decisions to make myself happy :)... But I have to balance it out because I don't want to get so wrapped up in my own life that I forget about everything else important :)

day 30- your favorite song

To be honest I do not have one favorite song.. I have way too many to name, and I listen to a variety of music :)

A whole bunch of days :) 18-24

day 18- plans/dreams/goals you have

My dream is to graduate school and become an elementary school teacher. I am only a little than 3 semesters away from this. I will then go back for my Master's Degree in administration to hopefully become a principal someday. I hope to get married and have a family someday as well! I hope to have a healthy, happy life and love every minute of it! :) Also, someday I will go through the temple with my husband. I believe in an eternal family, and I will make sure I get it :)


day 19- nicknames you have and why you have them

The only nicknames I really have are "Criss" and "Crissa Lee" but that is just because of my name. A couple people from high school call me "Stars" but that is just because an inside joke of a pick up line lol!

day 20- someone you love

Sheesh, I love a lot of people. I love my family, friends, my boyfriend- Dustin, and of course his family. I am so blessed with the people in my life. I would be lost without them. So thanks to all of them.!

day 21- a picture of something that makes you happy

Look at the top of my blog. This picture makes me happy! Dustin is a really great guy, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better boyfriend!

Goodness I don't know. A lot of things make me different from everyone else!

‎(without sounding selfish) in the end, it truly comes down to what is best for YOU! you can't always live your life for other people,, and even if your decisions hurt some people around you, you have to do what is going to make YOU happy (:

Day #17

day 17- someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why

uhhhhh... i have a lot of people...... The person I would switch Places with would probably have to be Harriet Tubman. (am I a nerd?! haha) Ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with this extrodinary lady. She helped free slaves by the underground railroad. I would like to experience some of the things she got to experience. She had so much hope, and she was such a hero to the people around her. I think it would be amazing to be her for a day!
