BALANCE!!!!!!!

Well right now I am sitting here thinking about my life and where I am going with my life. Right now it feels like it will be full of endless hours of working and studying and not a whole lot of anything else. I am not having much of a social life outside of work which is difficult. I feel like there is a whole lot of somethings and not a lot of other things. I think about the word balance and for some reason I always think of the picture of Lady Justice with her scales.

So my goal in life right now is to find balance. That sounds harder than it really is in the fact that how can I balance everything when I don't really know where to start? I have decided to join an indoor soccer team with the singles which will take place every Friday night. I have also decided to start a work out regiment of walking every morning(needless to say that regiment is slow in the uptaking). I have decided to start to study my scripture more thoroughly and more often. I have decided I need to be a heck of a lot better at writing my missionaries too! There is honestly not a better medicine for confusion and stress in life than to receive a letter from a missionary in the mail.

Sounds overwhelming doesnt it? Well let me tell you about my internet classes! I am retaking two classes that I took during the winter semester but because of illness and stupid choices in relation to boys. I hate every minute of it! I am rereading things that I have already read once and talking about things that I once vowed to never discuss again! I also thought I would escape the droll voice of Brother Anderson only to find that he narrates many of the long, monotone presentations that I frequently have to listen to. So I am saying now that NEVER will I have to retake any classes from this point forward and my parents can quote me on that! Its more pain that it is really worth.

I love the family time that I am getting though. It is great to spend time with the mom and the sister. My dad and I are home together in the mornings which is great because we get QUIET time! I feel a lot closer to my brothers Hunter and Garrett too. I have been helping them cook and bake and it is fun to see how they are growing and trying to become more like adolescent adults. I am grateful for this time with them. I love that we all love being together. I am really loving our nightly family scripture study and discussions about our goods and bads of the day. Nothing better than family time.

So BALANCE! Now i just have to figure out how to juggle it out in my little available hours of the day BUT I vow to accomplish this much needed balance! :)
