January 2015

How is it already 2015?

A new year meant trying to refocus on what my priorities are.

Here are some quotes I found with everyone's new years posts that 

seemed to really explain what I was looking for with this new year.

 

Happiness, real genuine happiness.

Not just talking to talk, but having meaningful things to say,

and making a difference instead of just speaking my mind.

And lastly, I want to learn to control my thoughts, have better self control,

and to avoid filling my head with things that are not important. 

I really liked these quotes as I was thinking what I wanted to change this year.

But most importantly I wanted to recommit my life to God, because I know the more I build that relationship the better version of myself I would become in all aspects of my life.

Now how did we spend our January?

As Christmas came and went I went full force into graduate applications!
Our future possibilities consisted of--
Brigham Young University
Utah State University
University of Utah
Washington State University
Idaho State University
I was hopeful but really worried about just getting in at all!

What else happened in January?
