Changes are good sometimes. : )

I thought I should post my recent exciting news...
I am moving to Arizona. I am moving about the week of the 15th or March. I am actually doing this! Isn't it crazy? Yes, it is. I know it is. But faith can get me far! :) I know this is the best thing for me to do right now in my life and so having faith is about the only thing I am holding on to. I am scared out of my mind. I have a few tears almost everyday fall down my face, when I think about moving. Moving away from my family, my friends, my job, my calling, my memories, my favorite places to be, my whole life basically. But when I think about moving to Arizona, I get pretty excited. I love HOT weather, I will be living with my best friend, Vanessa Jones, for 6 weeks when I first move down there, I will get to see, Travis Shumaker, more often, and everything that comes with those two important people in my life.
Side note about them. Vanessa: Yes, we are moving together and living together for the first 6 weeks until she... gets MARRIED!!! :) I am so happy for her. I am so glad that she finally found HIM and that it was him all along. ;) She is getting married in the Mesa Temple for time and all eternity on April 29, 2010. She did have a quick engagement, but there is nothing wrong with that, if both people know that it is right. Which, they did. She is in the middle of the crazy wedding plans, and I am trying my hardest of being a good Bridesmaid and helping with those plans. haha. She is working about 60 hours a week and her life is CRAZY right now. So I am helping as much as I can. I can't wait to live with her and to spend some more time with her, but I am more excited for her to get married to HER love of her life and to be happy all the time and to finally get what she deserves. I hope she knows that I am here for her, I will always be, but especially right now when she need me the most when he is 5 hours away and almost as busy as she is. So living with her... CAN'T WAIT!!!
Travis: Yes, I am moving down there partly to chase him down. :) That wasn't the only reason, but a big reason to move. I will be living in Tucson, and he lives in a small town just close to it. So I will get some more time with him in person. I am tired of the maybe 10 minute talks a few times a week and the e-mails that we find time for when the other is working. We have almost opposite schedules and its really sad. We never get time to talk, and I hate it to no end. But anyways, he is going to school right now and will be going to nursing school in the fall this year. He is working for his dad, at his pharmacy and things are going pretty well for him. Especially knowing that I'm moving down now. haha. so a little bit about our story: I was introduced to him through Vanessa. (Vanessa and Travis are cousins) But I added him as a friend on Facebook and wrote him a message. I had no intentions of making anything out of it, to be honest, I just thought it was funny. But we wrote each other just a few times, and I thought to myself, "hm... I kinda like this kid." But he started Nursing school and got busy, and I got busy and we didn't talk for months. and next thing i know I was at BYUI, and enjoying life, and had a message from this Travis guy. and little Miss Matchmaker was working her magic. So we started writing more and more. Where it came to a point that it was like twice a day. And all you Bridget Blog Followers know by now, I love to write, but whats funny, so does Trav! So four page messages were being sent across the United States daily!! haha But we enjoyed talking to each other and getting to know each other. One day, I had the guts to call him and we talked for about an hour. But then that night he called me again, and we talked for..... FOUR HOURS! :) We had a great talk and from that talk on, we both knew there was something there between us, and knew that we should pursue things. So we talked more and more and more. I came home from BYUI, and on Monday, January 4th Travis was at the Boise Airport, to come see me. He stayed till that Saturday. So almost a whole week! We got to spend time with my family and his cousins, and having fun, and spending time together. I fell in love. I am in love. I love him! I really do. He made me realize how happy I can be. I really am happy when I am with him, or when I talk to him, or even talking about him. haha. But anyways, I hate being away from him. But we are doing well, for our situation and things are going well. He has two sisters in Las Vegas that I wanted to meet, and because Vegas is halfway for the both of us, we are meeting there next weekend. I can't wait to spend time with his siters and with him. So, thats the short story of us. haha. But there will be more to come. There is more to life than Vanessa and Travis right now, but thats all I have time to write about today. Come back later. Love you all!!

Je veut aller au France encore!

I just miss France. So very much!! :(

I want to go back soon!

See that castle on the top of the hill. Yes I took a jog all the way up to it. From our hotel room just down the street from this view and it was the best jog in the whole wide world. That was just before my body went crazy and I couldn't really jog anymore because of my stupid ankles, knees, and hips. :'( But back to this picture. We jogged down this little street, crossed this huge bridge that just took my breath away how pretty it was to look at the water from, jogged through all the little streets and through the downtown. So fun. across some castle steps, through some gardens, tunnels, step hills, and little sidewalks. Got to the big pathway up to the castle. I sprinted up those stairs, and finally made it to the top. I had the castle right next to me, the beautiful grounds and pathways up there, but could also see the whole city all in one view. What a beauty and with my runner's high going like crazy I swear I had seen heaven! I was on cloud 109 and I just think no run can ever top that one right there. I am tearing up right now just talking about it.

Can you see the trees, the bushes, the grass, the fountains, and the beautiful flowers? Can I just go to France and become a gardener and landscaper for castle grounds. That would ultimately be my wish in life. I just can't get enough of this picture. This was taken at the top of sleeping beauty's castle too by the way. :)

I just adore this picture of the Eiffel Tower and I guess no one will ever grasp my love for France and pictures of it and anything to do with it. Go there and you will understand! :)

I just was thinking about France a lot lately and decided to put that on my blog for keepsake. I need to upload more pictures of France on my blog, but it would just take so long! anyways. Je t'aime! <3

Updates

I am in Nampa, Idaho now. I am still working at the Reel Theatre. I work a lot. I am the Family Home Evening coordinator in my singles ward. I am taking some online classes. I am making some big decisions in my life right now. I am getting stressed out because I have more than 3 huge decisions to make and I have to make them fast. So its a little bit of a crazy time in my life right now, but life is not easy, right? I am making these decisions with my heavenly father and sometimes His timing is not what I would like right now, but I know in the end it will all work out. So sorry I haven't blogged in a long time. But now you know why. Who knows when the next time I will blog too. But hope everybody's life isn't as crazy as mine. Love you all!

Monkies and a tape attack!!

So the other night, I was sitting on the couch with my roommates. Chels has been wanting to know how to do that one thing that you flick your pointer finger and make that snapping noise, and I always have, but never really knew and so just gave up the fact that I could do it. But this night, McKenzie just did it out of no where. And Chels was so determined to get it. And I started just trying it out again and Mckenzie gave me a few tips and I was determined to get it. We were all sitting in the living room flicking our arms, and Brandon, this guy that comes over to our apartment pretty often, by randomly was there that night. He just happened to have his camera out and took a short clip of us trying it out. We look pretty crazy but we were doing that for a good hour or more. And you can tell, that I was getting a hang of it, and I would get one here and there. But just so you guys know. I can do it now. I can do it on the spot, anytime, anywhere, and with any one. I’m so proud of myself. Lol But I don’t have a video of that unfortunately. Anyways, enjoy the video of us monkeys. : )

Then Brandon thought it would be funny to tickle me, tackle me, and tape my arms together behind my back. Here is a picture of this torture I went through.

Look at that sad face!!

And Brandon took a video of me trying to get it off. Its quite funny now. But it wasn't at the time. haha. I just can't get the video to load. But I will get it on sometime. Maybe I'll end up just loading it on facebook. anyways. I did get it off, It was all me too. I got it off all by pure strength!!
I did have red marks all up my arm, and bruises around my wrist for a few days. But oh well.

Please watch this!!

If I do anything in my life that is good, it is to be an example to you. It is to cause you to do better. It is to show you the light of Christ. It is to show you how happiness can come from living the gospel. It is to be a small beacon of Christ's light.... I am working on a poem and this is basically the message I am trying to get across.
But if I do anything good, its to show you this video. I ask just one thing for you to do. Watch this video. It is almost 7 minutes, but it is life changing, so its well worth the eternal changes that it will have on your life. Tell your best friend, your children, your parents, your siblings, your spouse, your neighbors, your students, your co-workers, your aunts and uncles, and those that may need a helping hand. I wish that everyone could see and hear this video. I don't care that I have said that a million times already. I just hope and pray that you take a moment to watch it. It has changed my life. I have watched it five times and I just saw it for the first time early this evening. I will leave it up to you to now make your own opinion of it. Enjoy!
