Hi Hi. :)
Wow, I haven't blogged in quite some time now.. Where to begin? Nothing important has really happened. No more driving 'till I get my permit, lot's of reading, school, and sports.. You know, the usual. (:
So last night I did read the binder Grandma Abbott gave us on her life story. At the end she talks about how it was nearly impossible for her to like, go on after my Grandpa died, leaving her 7 kids to raise. She talked about that without her faith, she probably wouldn't have had the success she had with everything. She also shared some experiences she's had with the spirit to let her know that this church is true.
So.. I prayed. The first personal prayer I've said in over a year. I really felt like I needed some reassurance and some guidance with the things that life has brought upon me. I honestly think I prayed for about 30 Min. Now I understand how all those guys in the scriptures could pray for hours.. I had SO MANY QUESTIONS!
And the cool part was, as soon as I was bringing it to an end.. I got all these little goose bumps and a warm feeling, like someone was watching me. But it wasn't that creepy feeling you get. :)
But cheahhh. I thought this would've been a good experience to share, and I don't ever want to forget it. It helped me realize the things I need to do in order to stay on the right path in life, and that's exactly what I'm going to do! :]

I really, honestly, don't know how to say this. And when I do get it out, it's going to sound corny and cliche, so just bear with me, alright? (:

I just finished yet another book by Nicholas Sparks, "Dear John." Every single book of his has had a pretty big impact on me, and I always sit and think about each story, and what I'd do to the plot if I was able to change it. The thing is, I just wish I could start over with the same characters and ideas, and rewrite the whole story. I guess I just realized that I wish I could write full time for a living when I'm older. I don't just wish it, I would do anything for it. I would love to have to finish 6 or 10 pages each day about the book I'm working on before I could go to bed. I've started stories before, and after awhile I start thinking about them, and how I wish I could go back and change them. But then I discourage myself because of the amount of time I've already spent working on them. I would almost do anything to be able to write stories like the author's I read, and have the impact on other people like the authors have on me. I really think that someday soon I'm going to look into this, because it's hard picturing myself doing anything else.

My first blog post of 2010! (: Haha. So as we speak, I'm sitting in my comp. tech class in school, being very bored because Kylie is at her SEOP and I have all my work done. Lol. Sooo, yesterday was my very first basketball game for the high school!!! :) It was so fun! I played JV, and then Coach Short caught me off guard and had me dress for varsity. It was so much fun, and I'm so glad I decided to play this year. [: I've missed basketball, or just running in general. Haha. Dang, so last night after we got home from the game, I took a shower, and I somehow managed to kink my neck, and now my whole right side of my neck and shoulder hurts like move! It's frustrating. Lol. Geezzzz, I'm so happy that today is friday, and tomorrow Cole and Morgan are getting married! I'm so excited, cause I love weddings. (: Haha but anyways, I think the bell's about to ring, so I guess I'll blog again later. B'bye! (:
