So basically, my senior year is going to be the craziest year of my whole entire life and frankly I don't know if I'll make it. Haha. Seriously though. I knew I was probably spreading myself too thin when I kept adding more things to my plate for this year, but I don't think it really hit me until today. Tennis practices started this week so it really feels like summer is about to end and I'm not sure I know what I'm getting myself into this year. Today I got called to be the seminary president and needless to say I was excited but pretty overwhelmed. Here's what I'm up against: FCCLA president, Seminary council president, tennis team, NHS, student ambassador, laurel class presidency, 2 classes at the college and AP classes, plus all of my other classes at the school, violin, and applying for college and scholarships. I think it's safe to say I will definitely be praying a lot and not getting much sleep. But hey, there is always a bright side right?! My senior year will FLY by and I won't even have time to think about senioritis. AND I'm really sorry if I sound like a debbie downer; I really am so grateful and excited for all of these opportunities and experiences, I know I got myself into all of them and they will all be great! I just needed to get my apprehensions out. Thanks for letting me use my blog to vent even though I promised myself that's something I would never do so I'll end with something positive.. Thank you so much to all of my friends and family for the support you've all given me and I'm sure will continue to give me this year it means a ton and I love you all! And I really can't wait for this year, especially May 20-something when I FINALLY graduate high school!! :)
Wish me luck!

first, I LOVE your new header. Really do. Second, such cute preference pictures. And third, dad let us know about your call to be the seminary president and I wanted to tell you how much I love you and admire you. A lot of what I'm about to say will sound cliche, but know that it's all true and from the heart. I look up to you so much and am so amazed by all that you do. When I grow up I want to be like you. I know we all have our own struggles, but wow, you sure know how to hold it all together. You always seem to keep everything in life so balanced, and I know that you'll be able to do so this year. It'll be hard - you have a lot going on - but you'll do it. You'll be a grand president, and you'll learn a lot while doing it. The Lord will help you with it all. I'm excited for you and am praying for you already. If and when you get overwhelmed and discouraged...let yourself and do't feel bad about it. And then pray and pray some more. If you need to talk, I'm here. Okay, how's that for a gushy, cheesy letter over the internet? Hope you don't mind I posted this. You are a superstar and I love you.
Mary and Lynnie, thank you both so much! I love and look up to both of you!! Lyn, I seriously loved the cheesy letter it made me a tear up a bit haha you are such a great sister! I will definitely call on you in my times of need!
Oh my gosh Kayla! YOu will be amazing at all of that. Seriously you will. But I know how you feel. My year will be crazy too. So if you ever need a girls night out or girls night in for that matter, call me. I think my couch, ice cream, chick flick or bachelor depending on the time of year?? Anyways, I seriously love you baby sis. I have been so amazed by you and the things you are doing with your life over this past year. Keep it up and you will be amazing!
P.S. Tonight I learned which oil to use for stress and anxiety. We may both need a lot of that this year. :)
Mandi I will definitely take you up on all of those offers haha thanks love ya! :)
Kayla! I just stumbled upon your blog and this post brought my senior year all back to me. The emotions and apprehensions your feeling are understandable, but let me tell you something: you will love every single minute of it. Choosing to stay active, involved, and busy in high school is such a great decision. You're going to influence so many people with your testimony and example--and that is what makes it all worth it. Scriptures every night, and prayers(lots of them) throughout the day helped me so much, and I know they'll help you everyday. You always have a smile on your face, so keep it there! good luck with everything! -Rachel
Rachel, thank you so much! you are so great and that really is just what I needed to hear! :)
