no mistaking.

hi. um...have you heard of body worlds? if you have you're cool...if not...i am afraid you are not cool. just kidding! body worlds is da bomb. being an exercise and wellness major, we seriously heard/talked about body worlds like 457 times the semester. it's basically a bunch of cadavers/body parts that are put on display for everyone to come check it out. anyways, i wanted to go all semester long but since i was jam packed i didn't have the time to do it until now! i went to this exhibit at the arizona science center and i loved it. i could not help but get emotional as i walked through the exhibit-strange, right? as i looked around me at all of the dead {and somewhat creepy looking} bodies, i could not help but keep thinking how there is no doubt in my mind that God is real. it is amazing to realize how complex our bodies are yet each part works together in a simply perfect way. every day i go about my life and i think i take for granted my health and how all of my body parts work together to get me from point a to point b. after looking around the exhibit i definitely think the greatest thing was seeing the display of all of the little babies that showed the progress of their development through the weeks. at 8 weeks along you could see little baby hands-no one in their right mind can say that abortion is not killing an innocent baby. our Heavenly Father loves us so much and he has a perfect plan for us. He's provided a way and i am so grateful for all that he has given me. 

honest.

i feel like sometimes i just get in a funk. i sit in a room full of people but feel so disconnected. i think about what i am doing with my life. who i am and who i want to be. life gets so frustrating at times. i am finally out of school and yet i find myself trying to replace the stress of school with other stresses. i try to be the best person i can be. i try to do what is right. some days i feel like an emotional baby ready to cry, other days i feel closed off wanting to just be left alone. i feel like i am the only person who hasn't changed but then i look back and realize how different i am.

today, in st. george, i went to my cousin's graduation-talk about bringing back the memories! it's been two years since i have graduated, i can't even believe it (yet i can since i feel like i have been so busy!). what an accomplishment it is to graduate-i am proud of my cousin! i remember feeling so accomplished yet feeling like this was the day my life would change. the world as i knew it was going to be gone. i remember sitting at graduation in the pouring rain and feeling like there were big things in store for me..what they were, i didn't know, but i knew i was going to do some pretty great things (or at least i convinced myself i was going to try).

flash forward two years and here i am sitting on my computer--acting like i blog. i've been through so much that i couldn't even fathom that day in the rain. who knew i would be where i am today? who knew college would actually be hard like people said it would? who knew i would only keep in touch with like 5 people from high school on a regular basis? f

it's days like this where i sit and think about these things and am so glad for the family that i have. the dad that puts secret "i love you" & "i miss you" notes in my suitcase. the mom that is always trying to make me happy. the sister that would drop everything she is doing to listen to me and do whatever she can to be there for me. the brother that is almost 14 years old who isn't embarrassed of hanging out with his older sister or telling me he loves me in public. my bryant that would go to the moon and back to do anything i ask. how did i get so lucky? i feel blessed, and privileged. and after thinking about all these things it makes me realize that life is worth it. it may be hard at times, it may be boring at times, and it definitely throws some major curve balls, but it's totally worth it.

{don't you love when everyone else in a cute picture looks cute except for yourself? awesome. maybe next time!}

rain, rain go away...

oh hey, i am still alive. anddddd, although my sister is losing her competition...i guess i will blog. things have been good in morganland. school has ended, my life has gone on. annnnnd after taking 19 credit hours, working part time, playing in 3 volleyball leagues, and church stuff (etc...), i was RELIEVED to see my grades come out as great as they did. 4.0, hallelujah. take that asu! anyways..it's 8 days since my last final (wednesday) and it hasn't really hit me yet that it's summer. i babysat early thursday morning to friday afternoon. went straight to work for a few hours then came home. babysat for five hours on saturday. had meetings galore on sunday. babysat from monday morning to tuesday morning, and worked yesterday. today is the first day i really haven't worked/done anything with my life (oh wait, i went to the gym @ 5 am...holler).

seriously today is supposed to be a great, happy day but i am feeling so emotional and defeated today. maybe because i am watching all of the money i have earned have to be dropped on dumb things like the GRE. who knew doing something i despise (test-taking) would cost $160. awesome, reallll awesome. who also knew that if i want to apply for PT school this fall i need to take the GRE before August 1st. oh heyyyy, i think i will be out of town for like 5 1/2 weeks this summer aka i can only take the GRE june 17th. say prayers for me, many. i need them since my self esteem has dropped 160 points annnnnd i still have to try to study for a month on top of life.

i always thought growing up would be sooo much easier than being in school but shoot-it's freaking hard! it's been crazy to look back at myself in high school and thinking that i understood what life was all about but WOW i was so wrong. everything that happened in high school went away (weird...i thought high school was life?), and here i am trying to be a grown up. so from this post, it can probably be assumed/inferred that i am feeling a little defeated and emotional. me, a girl, feeling emotional? who knew.

in other news, the forecast for my life is looking extremely sunny and happy tomorrow. but for today, i will throw myself a pity party, treat myself to some lunch and get over it. ha. ew...i can't believe i just said "ha." i hate that word. or partial word. it makes me feel less funny. alright, anyways, hopefully i will be back to my normal self and stop having a stress out session/anxiety attack and pull myself together.

xoxo,

(well 3 days plus finals.. so technically like one week!!). so.over.school. i need a favor of those who actually read my blog--sign onto your FACEBOOK accounts, type in Nissle Senior Photography and "like" the page. Then go to the Senior Model Competition 2011 and "like" Madison Clement's picture.

IF she wins, she gets to be the model for Nissle photography next year AND she wins an iPad guys. this is a BIG deal. haha. plus...we only let winners live in our house so i am afraid she will be homeless unless you like her picture...okay just kidding...but really :) if you love me (no, i am not in the competition, yes i am her blood relative. this basically means i am in the competition!), you will vote for her! and in return i will love you back!
