why not wait

 + + +

 For about a year now ive liked this guy. not just any guy. a tall, brown eyed, soccer player guy. i thought he was perfect. & pretty much the only guy at Lehi High to like because all the cute ones are no where to be found. I thought there were no other guys for me but him. Why i thought that? No clue.

he's adorable. buuuuuut...

Problem #1: He doesn't like me back.. im pretty sure. He just flirts. a lot.

Problem #2: My friends and sister don't like him. at all.

Problem #3: I can't seem to get over him.

I realized, however, that he's not the only cute boy in the world. I mean, i was driving on the freeway by Utah State University and holy hannah, I saw THE most attractive young man! ever. Pretty sure hes like a sophomore in college, but that's not THAT much older than me, right? 

Most girls think they need a boyfriend in high school or they will be forever alone. but i realized only just a couple weeks ago that my future husband is probably serving a mission somewhere or going to college just waiting for his dream girl to show up. *cough cough* (thats me) (; 

But really. Why not wait for someone that will treat you right, do anything to be your everything, and love you with all their heart? I'd much rather have this than some high school romance that most likely won't last after graduation. 

So here I am, waiting for my dream man. & he's waiting for me too, somewhere. I can hardly wait to meet him. but patience is a virtue, right?

{ to my future husband: I'm praying for you. I'll wait for you. & I love you. }

I can't believe i'm already a senior. I mean, I feel like it was just the other day when i was hesitantly walking through those double glass doors of Lehi High School, wondering how in the world i was going to survive. I always thought the seniors looked so old.. haha and now i'm one of them! (except i don't think i look much older than i did when i was a sophomore). 

I've grown a lot since then. 

spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Spiritually: i'm more confident in myself and who i really am. I know for a fact that i'm a daughter of my heavenly father and no one can take that knowledge away from me. my testimony has grown so much and i'm proud to say i've helped a lot of people i care about because of it. Its hard to believe but i could be out on a mission somewhere in the world in a little less than 2 years. crazy. I've met a ton of people that have changed me for the better too. People that have shared their testimony with me when i needed it most. & i think its safe to say Heavenly Father does indeed answer our prayers through others.

Physically:  I actually know how to dress myself. I mean, i've always known how... but {YIKES} ....glad i know how to dress myself BETTER. (: & i do look a little older, i'll admit it. thats about it though...sad to say.

Emotionally: I actually think i'm more emotional (is that even possible?!) than i was when i was a freshmen. I think its because... i actually have no idea but you know...cool. I feel stronger, i'm able to be confident in myself instead of shy. don't get me wrong. i'm still like way shy if you don't know me. but when i feel comfortable around you...run. you think i'm joking, dont you? im serious. Okay, and i really do cry during every love song and movie because i do want love. who doesn't. but i'm fine with being single... forever.

Mentally: so i may not be like, GENIUS, but i'm definitely a lot smarter than i used to be.

Senior year should be good though. I only have one class, but you better believe i will be to EVERY SINGLE sports game and school event that i can! its my senior year, its gotta be fun! 

Senior Goals: 

• First kiss. its a must. 
• Go to every dance. - - - could be challenging
• Good grade
• Dont worry about what people think about me.
• Make some new friends
• Live every moment to it's fullest
• SMILE everyday
• Be the best example i can.

Lets do this. 

Senior year, im ready for ya.
