Wishful Wednesday

Starting a new trend, Wishful Wednesday. I wish.... 

1. That I had a hot tub... I'd be in it every night. 

2. I had a super power. Either flying or mind reading. Life would be so much easier.

3. That I was already graduated. High school is pointless and aggravating.

4. I was back in 9th grade. Those were the days.

5. I lived in Oregon. It's beautiful and I love the rain.

6. We had a cabin. It would be fantastic.

7. We never moved...

8. I knew the answer to everything. Life is rough and I want to know why things happen for a reason. I want to know those reasons gosh dang it!!! 

9. I had a yellow Mini Cooper. It's my dream car.

10. Eric was home. I have been missing him a lot lately...

Woot! Wishful Wednesday. Kind of fun. You should try it. 

It's the Little Things

     If you read my last blog post, you would know that things are kind of rough right now. Well.. things are getting better and I am looking to the positive in life. Today was an eye-opener and just an awesome day. I had seminary today and I absolutely love that class. I always get something good out of seminary and I always feel so much better afterwards. For the month of May we had secret friends. Week one we had to give them our favorite treat, week two we had to write them a poem, and week three we gave them our favorite scripture and then told them who we were. It was  really fun and i love sneaking around doing nice things for people. Makes me happy. Well I wasn't in seminary last week when we got our scriptures and were told who had us. I got my scripture today as well as a note. I started crying in class after reading this... I will share this little note with you all. Made my entire day.

     Emily,

You were really fun to have as a secret friend and it was awesome to see your reactions. You do a lot for this class and you make seminary a super fun experience. Your smile always makes me smile when I see it in class and your attitude always helps my mood, your so positive and happy! I'm really glad that I to meet you this year and I hope we can stay in touch because your a funny and cute person to be around. I hope you enjoyed all the stuff I gave you and the last thing I have for you is this scripture. Matthew 5: 14-16 (Ye are thel ight of the world...) You don't need any help though because you already glow... You always set great examples for me to follow so thank you for everything.

 

 

     I don't know why this hit me so hard, but this little note was what I needed these past few weeks. This was my pick me up. I am so grateful for this friend of mine in seminary, he has been an answer to my prayers. It's the little things that people do for you that make you feel better. It's the little things that make you happier again. 

Pick Me Up...

Haven't blogged in awhile and I'm thinking it would be a good thing for me to do. I am sitting in a computer lab in school and it's dead silent. We are taking our chemistry CRT's. I'm done and have nothing better to do, so here I am blogging. Pounding away on the keyboard is really loud... but I don't really care. So I need a pick me up... life kinda sucks right now to be honest. I'm ready to graduate and I want to move on with my life. I feel like I am at a standstill and nothing exciting is happening. I've had a massive headache for 10 days and it won't go away. I'm just going through the motions of my daily routine. I'm exhausted all the time and I don't even know... I don't even do anything anymore. I have no drive or motivation to do anything. I'm not really happy anymore and I cry everyday at the dumbest things... I'm a mess right now and I miss how things use to be. Hopefully after graduation things will start to get better. Only 22 more days of my high school career. Weird to think about, but I am so excited. I need a pick me up real bad. Sorry for the depressing post.. but that's just how I'm kinda feeling right now. Pretty much miserable... :(

Just a Couple of Rants I Have....

Okay... So it's late, I'm a little bugged, I need to vent, and I'm typing this on my tiny iPod. If I make a lot of grammar mistakes, just keep reading and don't judge me. Thanks. This past week was spring break for the Davis school district. My very best friends and I went on a trip to St. George. We drove there and had an absolute blast together. Wanna know what we did the whole time?.... Absolutely nothing. We ate, and ate, and ate some more. We had no plans the whole time and we just went with the flow of things. It was the best trip ever and it was definitely needed. My three best friends and I had a lot of time to talk and think about our lives. Don't get me wrong, we were crazy and out of control most of the time. But once in awhile we would have some serious, deep talks. One of which was that we shouldn't have to change who we are as individuals for others to like us. We shouldn't be worrying about trying to get others approvals of who we are and what we are doing. I do not care what others think of me and if you can't accept me for the way I am... Then screw you. Sorry... But it's the truth. I'm sick and tired of trying to please everyone and making them happy before myself. That is no more. I love who I am and I love my life. I have a reason for the things I do and the actions I make. I'm done worrying and stressing over the little things that don't matter in life. I am going to surround myself with the people who I care about the most and who care about me just the same. They love me just the way I am and they won't change anything about me. They make me happy and I know they will always be there for me. Being in St. George opened my eyes to a lot of things, but mainly this. I am Emily freakin George and I think I'm pretty awesome. I deserve the best and so does everyone else. Never settle for less than your best. That's point one that I wanted to make. Phew.

Onto point two... I have never understood why people care so much about heir reputation in high school!! Who gives a dang!? Be proud of you who and don't look back. I can not WAIT to graduate and move on with my life. People are annoying and rude. I want a higher education and to actually be in a classroom with people who want to learn just as much as I do. All in all, no one is going to remember you by your reputation. They are going to remember you by how you treated yourself and others. Main point of point two... Be nice. That is all.

Alright... Point three. Hopefully my last rant, but no promises. I like to think of myself and my best friends as one of the most nonjudgmental people out there. Like seriously. While growing up, my parents always taught us that everyone is equal and we are all children of our Heavenly Father. You better believe we stick to that. Once you walk into our home, you are apart of the one and only George family. We could care less about your past and where you are now. We will not judge you and we will take you in and love you. I have a hard time with people judging others. They have no right to judge them. Yes I know, we all make first judgements when we first meet someone. But please get to actually know them before you start spreading rumors about them and making their lives miserable. And also... Forget the past. It's called the past for a reason. Move on, get over it, and love them for who they are NOW. Not then. Ugh... It gets me so heated when someone judges someone else by their past. Instead of looking at their past, maybe try looking to their future and to what they can become. Moral of point three.... Just don't judge. It's bad and I will not like you if you do it.

So.. I have one more rant. Sorry, but bare with me. If someone has something to say to me or has a problem with me, you better come talk to me in person. I'm an adult and I'm pretty sure I can handle myself. Lets all grow up and stop talking behind each others back!!! I promise you, I will have SO much more respect for you if you just come talk to me. And also... I know everything and word gets around. So it's probably better to just straight up tell someone then lie, talk badly about them, and continue lying. Just a word of advice. And one more thing. Honesty is always the best policy. Be honest with me and I will be honest with you. If not... Then that sucks for you.

Okay.... I think I got everything out. Sorry if any are offended from reading this, but all of this has been boiling inside of me and I just needed to get it out. I had some eye opening experiences while in St. George and I had a lot of time to think things over. I needed a good venting session and blogging is always the best for that. Also, I would personally like to thank Jaycee Brown and Courtney Hamilton for always having my back and being my best friends. We tell each other everything btws. Don't know what I would do without these two incredible girls in my life. They love me for who I am and I know they will never try to change me. Love you both. Thank you.

"You of Little Faith... Why Did You Doubt?"

"He became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"

Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

 

 

My seminary teacher showed me this picture about six months ago, and I have been looking for it ever since. I finally found it. I absolutely love this picture because it says so much by saying so little. This is the story of Peter walking on water until he realizes what is happening and he begins to sink. He stretches out his hand and asks for the Lord's help. The Lord instantly reaches down and grabs his hand and says, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

This is one of my favorite stories in the scriptures. I think it is the most relateable to our lives today. it is all about faith. Faith is believing without seeing. At first the Lord tells Peter to "come" to him to receive help. Peter doesn't second guess his actions and he begins to walk on the water. When we have a trial in our life, it is always easiest for us to turn to the scriptures and to turn to the Lord through prayer. We know these are the right things to do to help us get through the upcoming trial. We all know that and we don't second guess it. However, once Peter was half way to the Lord and in the most terrifying part of the trial, he lost his faith and he started to sink. We have to continue this faith throughout the whole trial and I think this is where it is the most difficult to keep that faith. During the middle of a trial everything seems to go wrong. You're on your breaking point and you want to just give up. That is how I am anyways. We have to remember that no matter what trial is ahead of us or what storm is coming our way, the Lord's hand is inches away from ours. We just have to have faith, believe, and reach out and grab it. The Lord wants us to be happy and he wants us to make it back to him. We can't make it back without his help. No matter how far we are sinking, he will always be there for us... just have to have faith.

Things That Bug...

Things that bug me... otherwise known as pet-peeves. Bare with me... I have a lot of pet peeves and some of them are really dumb. haha! But... don't judge.. here it goes!

1. Styrofoam... I hate it... all of it. The sound, the feel, the look. Eww. Even writing about it right now freaks me out.
2. When people answer questions that are directed to me. I can answer the question by myself. I don't need your help and I don't need you to do it for me.
3. People who complain alot. Life is awesome. There is no need to complain.
4. When people crunch their ice with their teeth. Not only is it super obnoxious, but it is super bad for your teeth.
5. Wrinkles in clothes. I iron all of my clothes and I am proud of it. Wrinkles just look messy and I don't like that.
6. When I am trying to help someone do something and I am giving advice of how they should do it and they say... "I know." Well if you know than you should be doing it!! ugh.... drives me nuts.
7. Crumbs on the ground. They get everywhere and I hate them. I am a little OCD.... :)
8. When I am talking to someone and they are not looking at me and they are looking at other things. I am giving you my time and you are looking elsewhere? No... doesn't fly.
9. People who don't turn on their blinker!! Really!!? Come on now...
10. When you tell someone something you have done and you are proud of, but don't worry!! They have done the same thing, but better!! I'm sure it wasn't exactly the same...
11. When someone is super hilarious and super fun to text, but in person they are the most boring person on the planet....

Well there ya go. Kind of lame, I know. I just needed something to blog about and this was one of the first things that came to mind! Hope you enjoyed it.

Value of Friendship

     Okay... so I know I have been a slacker and haven't blogged in awhile.. but life is crazy busy right now and it is difficult to find times to blog. Like right now... I am in my Sports Medicine class. I am suppose to be writting an essay on the dislocation of a lumbar vertebra, but instead I am here blogging.
     Since I last blogged, I have done a lot. I started my senior year and I am loving every minute of it. I got back into clogging and we are getting ready for the competition season. Same goes for cheer. Our first competition is in about two weeks and we are not ready... at all. We will pull it off though, I know that for a fact. Life is good and I love it. A lot has changed from last year. I am in a completely different place than I thought I would be. Different friends makes for a different me. A better me.
     These last couple of weeks have really opened my eyes of what I want in life and who I want to be as an individual. About two weeks ago, my bestfriend and I got in an argument. He didn't agree with some of the choices that I made, and I didn't agree with his opinion. I thought I was right and he thought he was right. We were both too stubborn to put our differences aside and just be friends again. I was really worried there for a minute. I thought I had lost him. I need this best friend in my life. For whatever reason, he needs to be in my life. I was a completely different person without him. Yeah it looked like I was happy from the outside, but inside I was miserable. I started hanging out with random people that I really didn't even want to be around. I wasn't making the right decisions and I was angry at the world and everyone who talked to me. Life literally sucked. Luckily.... and thankfully, last sunday night I got a phone call from him. He apologized for what he had done and he said I am sorry. We both agreed that we need each other in our lives and we forgave each other of what we had done. I can not tell you the difference that phone call made in me. My whole attitude changed and my whole countenance was different. I remember running upstairs yelling to everyone that we fixed things and we are best friends again. I was happy as I've ever been. I didn't have to pretend that I was happy anymore.
     I learned a lot from this experience. The main thing that I learned is that there are people that we need in our lifes and we have to do everything we can to keep them there. Both of us realized this, so we did what we had to do. I also learned the wonderful gift of forgiveness. Three simple words of "I am sorry" can go a long way. Once those were said, everything was back to normal. We put our stubborness aside and forgave each other. Such a wonderful blessing to have forgiveness in my life. The last thing I learned is to do what makes you happy. Who cares what others think? You are your own self and YOU are the only one that knows what is best for you. Don't let others get in your head and tell you that you will be happy if you go for it. Most of the time... you will be miserable just like I was. If you aren't happy in a situation, get out of it. I couldn't tell you how much happier I am because of what has happened. I am back to my normal self again. I don't know what I would do with my best friend in my life. He is the biggest example in my life, he will ALWAYS be by my side, and he loves me for who I am, not someone he wants me to be. He respects me and treats me like a princess. I don't know what I would do without him in my life. I've never been more happy than when I am with him. Just thinking about him makes me smile... :) Glad I had this experience in my life. We are now much closer as friends, and we truely value our friendship. We have a special friendship that no one else will have and no one will ever be able to replace. You should be jealous... because it is pretty fantastic and my best friend is a thousand times better than yours! :)

The End of Summer

Im sitting at the datc and there is nothing to do, so I thought I would blog! As all bloggers do... We usually blog about the end of summer. Yes I do have two more weeks of summer left, but most of my summer is already over. This summer has been the best summer yet. New friends made, hold ones renewed, and new family memories! I finally went boating for the first time! I had a whipped cream war with my friends! And I even went skinny dippin for the first time ever! ;) I won't forget the great times my friends and I have had this summer. We have become closer as a friend group and I know they will always be by my side. I am so pumped for this next year as a senior! I got my schedule and the hardest class I have is chemistry :) other than that, it is going to be one big party the whole year! I won't want it to end because then I'll have to grow up. Start applying to colleges, getting a real job, and experiencing things on my own. It freaks me out! I still think I should be in the ninth grade! I am excited but scared at the same time. It all seems like a fantasy, but the end of this summer is making me realize it's not that far away and that I need to start preparing now! One year left of high school and then I'll be on my way!! :) mixed emotions about the end of summer.... Don't want it to end, but at the same time I'm ready for my senior year.

Dumb Fish

     This past week, my family and I spent a whole week up in the Unitas at the Moosehorn camp ground. It was a ton of fun! I gutted a fish for the first time, learned that I would be the one eaten if my family was starving and had to eat someone in my family, and that I look like I'm 8 years old when I am camping! I loved every moment of it and wish I was back. It was incredible to not worry about a thing and just be out of the world for a week. Favorite thing of summer by far.
     My uncle brought up a canoe on Thursday, and my sister and I thought it would be fun to go out together on it. We looked a little like idiots, but we did it with style. We made it from one end of the lake to the other in one minute and fifty seconds! We could be in the Olympics if we wanted. Anyways, while we were fishing, I starting thinking about fish and how dumb they really are. I mean, we put a worm on a hook, cast it into the lake, the fish bite the worm, and then end up being caught on the hook. They are extremely dumb. You would think they would learn the first time to not go for that worm again, but they always end up doing it. I didn't think anymore of it until today.
     In YW today, we talked about sin and how to recognize it and avoid it. My YW leader pulled out a picture, and it was a ton of fishing lures and different ways to catch a fish. The little lightbulb came above my head and I thought, "We are just as dumb as the dang fish!!" We related the worm to sin and temptations that we are faced with each day. It just takes one little nibble of the "worm" to get us caught and stuck on that hook. And just like the fish, we will always go back to the "worm" or the bad habit. This lesson was really interesting and it kind of opened my eyes. Just the smallest mistake that we happen to make can lead to a whole lot of danger, and take us to a place we didn't intend to be. Once we are stuck, it is ten times harder to get off and back on track. Through family, friends, and prayer, we are able to avoid those temptations, and not take a nibble of the "worm" no matter how delicious it looks.
     I am so thankful for the family that I have. They are incredible and I love them so much. They push me to do my best and to stay on track. My friends are hilarious and I don't know what I would do without them. I can't wait for this next year as a Senior. There are going to be a ton of little "worms" along the way, but I know my friends will help me through. I know it is going to be a fantastic year and I can't wait to see what it brings.

Looking Back

8 more school days and I have made it through my Junior year!! Some said it would be the hardest year yet... They were absolutely right! It was a rough one, but I have learned a lot.


At the beginning of the new year, I made some goals and I have achieved them. One of them was doing things for me and doing things that made me happy. I have changed my friend group for the better. I'm happier and I don't have to worry what others think of me. Yeah sure I'll miss those friends, but the news ones I have made, will be the ones that will always be by my side. I have made so many memories and I can't wait to make more. Love them!!

I ended up trying out for cheer again. This was one of the biggest decisions of my life. I originally wasn't going to. I wanted to just relax and hangout with my family my senior year. I prayed and waited for my answer, but never seemed to get one. Looking back though, I was just too stubborn to notice them. I ran for student body president and lost by a few votes. Ran for sbo appointed office and still didn't get in. I was so upset and confused of what I was suppose to do next year. The first day of clinics, my coaches put me in the back of the gym behind all of the girls. As we were stretching, I got a very calm feeling and the thought came to my head that I needs to be here for these girls. For whatever reason, I'm suppose to be a leader and example to them. These series of events where answers in disguise. I am now cheer captain or next year. I am in charge of 17 other girls and making sure they are safe and protected. That's my job. Being a leader. The school year hasn't even started for next year and I can already tell it is going to be a long one. I know I am going to be blessed and I will have a ton of support from family and friends. I am excited! :) we are going to be one incredible squad!


My very best friend tells me all the time that things happen for a reason. He's right. No matter what it is, it happens for a reason. Just put a smile on your face, and endure to the end! :) I am so grateful for the friends I have in my life now. They are incredible and I love them all!! Can't wait for next year! It's going to be a blast!!! :)

Life and Things

          Okay.. I know I haven't blogged in awhile. It is just been crazy busy and I now have a break to relax... which means blogging! A lot has happened in the past month or so.
          Eric left on a mission about 3 weeks ago. Still hasn't hit me yet and when it does... I will be like a dam breaking. ha. I have the basement to myself now and it is just weird. I usually come home from school and he is there and we always chat and do something crazy. Now it's just me when I come home. I get extremely bored and that's when I usually start to miss him. Definitely not use to it. I am so proud of Eric for deciding to go on a mission. It will be the hardest 2 years of his life but it will help him so much. He needed to go so bad and I know this will be good for him. Eric has been of the many examples in my life. He always has a care-free way with life unlike my other siblings. We are also "go go go go go!!" Eric just is calm and collected and I envy him for that. He's quiet and he knows what is right and wrong. That is one attribute of Eric that I love. No matter what everyone else is doing, he will go out of his way to do the right thing. Even if that means losing friends or even getting bullied. He has always done the right and will always continue to do so. He has been a huge influence in my life and I love him so much.
          About 3 weeks ago, I ran for SBO President. Unfortunately I didn't win... I lost by a couple of votes. It was alright though. That was the answer to my prayers in a way. After cheer Nationals I didnt' know if I wanted to try out again. Cheer is such a time commitment and I wanted to just relax for a while. I didn't know what to do, and I wasn't getting any answers. After I didn't win, I had a feeling I needed to try out. I went to the first day of clinics and my coachs put me in the back of the gym. I was looking at all of the other girls that were trying out. I just got a very calm feeling inside and a thought came to my head that I needed to be there.That I needed to be here for these girls for whatever reason. To support them, to be there for them, whatever it may be. I had a feeling that was where I was meant to be. Another answer to my prayer. I tried out and I made it. I was also titled with Cheer Captain. Holy crap... one of the biggest responsibilities I've had in my life. I am excited though. I am going to mold this squad together right now and not wait. We are going to become a team. A unified team that loves what we do. During these week, I also applied for SBO appointed office. I was running for activities and I was excited to get my ideas out into the school. I had an interview and it went really well. They called me that night.. and I didn't get accepted. Guess I am not suppose to be an Office this year at Syracuse High School for whatever reason. Another answer to my prayers that I really needed to be a cheerleader this next year. Now I can focus all of my energy on these girls that I will have the chance to know extremely well.
          2 weeks ago, I was asked to Ben Lomond's Junior Prom by Weston Leatherow. Okay... Ben Lomond definitely knows how to throw a dance. It was the funnest dance I have EVER been to! :) It was a blast and the best part was meeting up with friends that I haven't talked to in years. It even brought a tear to my eye almost haha. It was a blast and it made me realize that I have friends all over. Going to the dance was amazing. The kids there didn't care who you were, they just wanted to have a good time and a good laugh with you. I made a ton of friends and I will definitely be going back to hangout with them more. It's been about 5 years since I have seen most of my Ogden friends, and it was like we didn't skip a beat. Love O-Town!! :)
          Last week was when everything finally slowed down. Cheer has relaxed and I seem to have a life now. I am happier and I am hanging out with friends that I want to hang out with. Friday night I hungout with Courtney Hamilton and it was the best thing ever for me. I don't have many girlfriends and I am so glad I still have her in my life. We even hungout with Ogden friends. I went on a date with Weston and she went on a date with Weston's friend named Sterling. It was so much fun and it was good to get out of Syracuse again. There is just a different feeling getting out of here once in awhile. It was a good night.
          Saturday was full of fun! Courtney and I had an adventurous day you could say. Last week on Tuesday I wrote a poem to my friend Landon Greenhalgh and stuck it on his car! I did this for fun and he knew it was coming. We decided that we would write a note/poem back to each other everyday starting on that Tuesday. He wrote back Wednesday and me Thursday, etc. Saturday it was my turn to write back. Each poem was gotten more creative and it has almost turned into a battle of who can write the best. :) Saturday I stepped up my game. Courtney and I wrote this amazing poem and it was quite hilarious if I do say so myself... :) Landon had Davis Invitation at Davis all day long. We decided we would go to Davis High and decorate his car with balloons and the note attached to one. He didn't know what hit him when he saw his car! :) It was awesoem and I can't wait to see what he does back! Courtney and I then got Drgaon hill and watched, "How I Met Your Mother." It was a good day and definitely needed. Saturday night came rolling around and I was suppose to go on a date with Landon, but instead I hung out with him and his brother. Those two crack me up. It was a good night! Coldstone, walmart, and watching homemade movies of  "Lord of the Rings." I don't know how they are still my friends after watching that... ha! Definitely a weekend I needed.
          As you can see... Life has been crazy but I am loving every moment of it. Figuring out who my friends are and where I want to go in life. My family is amazing and I couldn't be any happier. A couple more weeks of school left, and it will be summer. Then my senior year will start and then college. I am ready. Bring it on! I'm lovin' life! :)

The Ides of March!

..... Well I am sitting here in math and we aren't doing anything. There are about ten kids in class right now and it is dead silent. I finished my homework and I still have another 45 minutes left.... Yep... You can probably guess that I'm really bored. While I have been sitting here, my mind has started to wonder and think about what is coming up ahead. The month of March is going to be hell. I am trying to soak up every last ounce of February before March begins... And we only have one week left :( March is my birth month which is exciting, but it kind of gets buried under everything else. Here's a rough draft of my March!

1.) The first weekend I have a clogging competition at Thanksgiving Point. I am super excited to get away and hangout with my studio. We will do extremely well!

2.) March 3-12 my parents will be in the Dominican republic Partying it up! Yeah... Awesome... Actually, my siblings and I are excited!! Party for a week and a half! Although I won't even be there, which brings me to number 3.

3.) I will be leaving for band tour on march 6th and I won't be back til march 11th! We are going to San Diego California!! Whoop! I am more than excited. Warm weather, friends, music, an out of Utah. I need to get away and this is the perfect escape. I might even be able to get a scholarship! Crossing my fingers!

4.) the 3rd week in march I will be home. The only thing I will be doing Is catching up on homework.... Oh man. While I am on tour, i will be missing a chapter exam in medical anatomy and 2 college exams. Yep, my life rocks!! And that is only one class. Dont even want to mention the rest....On march 17th I hope to be going to the secondhand serenade and Boyce avenue concert with some friends to release some stress... Yet again, crossing my fingers.

5.) the fourth weekend is prom. I have been asked and I am happy to be going! Positive attitude and it should be fun! Still crossing my fingers it is fun!

6.) and this is where all hell breaks loose. The last week is going to kill me. I have been planning to run for sbo president since I was about twelve. The time has come and this week is election week. Good thing my mom and I have planned extremely well for this and we have a good rough draft to follow through with. I am excited and I am planning on winning... There has been the same kid in there as president since 8th grade... Not this year! It will be me! On top of all of this, it is cheer nationals week. The whole month of march we will be practicing and practicing in preparation for nationals. Elections are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, we leve Friday morning for California to compete. I will know Thursday if I won sbo or not. Wow Betsy. I'm going to die.

.. Well I'm terrified for this month to start!! But at the same time I am excited. Once march is over I will be able to see the light again. I'll be with my family snowboarding it up!! I can't wait... Wish me luck I'll make it through in one piece... Let the lees of March begin!!

Support

Last Saturday was one of the craziest days of my life. Not only was it the Preference dance, but my 14 year old cousin was snowboarding and he broke his femur. He tried to fight against a tree... and of course the tree won. He was immediately rushed to the ER and he is fine now! The sad thing is that he just recovered from an ACL tear on his other leg, and then he goes and breaks his femur. My family and I went to see him on Monday night and he is doing really well! He has to sit in bed all day long, and he cannot fully use it for another 6 months. Breaks my heart. Although Max, Eric, and I were able to make him laugh and smile! His mom said that she hasn't seen a smile on him for the last couple of days. The support that a family member can give another is one incredible thing. Just being there and talking to him for over an hour, we were able to make him smile and laugh a little bit, hoping to brighten his mood! My family is amazing and we are so close together. I know that if anything were ever to happen to me, they would be the first to be at my side encouraging me to keep going. I feel so bad for my cousin, but he will slowly get better and better. It just takes time! :) Through prayer and faith, we can accomplish the hardest of tasks. It may not happen as fast as we wish, but we can do anything we set our minds to. "If you say you can't, or say you can... you're right." This quote is in my seminary class and I read it everyday. It is one of my favorites. Don't give up and keep going! :)

NEW YEAR

It's the New Year... What now? I don't know... haha! This year has been a pretty good year!! My family had a lot of high points! Sarah graduated from college and got her degree, Eric graduated from highschool, Max came home from his mission, I had wonderful experiences doing pageants, Sarah and Brian and a super cute wonderful baby boy, and we have become closer as a family!! I would say that is one amazing family! :) Can't wait to see what this year will bring for us now! This year, Eric will be going on a mission, I will be running for SBO president and hopefully getting a job, Max will become closer to his degree, and Sarah and Brian will be raising a boy even more wonderfully. There are a lot of things to look forward to! :) Can't wait to see what happens!

This year has taught me a lot. I have grown older and I am finally understanding what I want to do in life. I hope to continue clogging and keep loving it as much as always. I want to start up piano lessons again. I miss it like no tomorrow. I want to get a job. Hopefully as like a receptionist or something fun like that! I love learning about the brain... pretty much the coolest thing on this earth. Love it. Highschool is pointless. The only thing worth while is the school. It's fun and all, but I am sick of it. I just like it to keep me busy! :)

As a New Year's Resolution, I have one thing. Don't worry about others and don't do what they want me to do. This year is about me. I know that sounds super selfish, but thats what I want. Me and my family of course! I am going to enjoy life and do the things that make me most happy! :) I am going to hang out with friends that lift me up when I am with them, not ones that I am constantly worrying about. I am going to work on my procrastination, so I have the weekends to enjoy! I am not going to worry about boys, because they are stupid and immature! ;) I am going to date EVERYONE!!! :) My testimony is going to grow this year. I am going to finish my Junior Year with the spit-fire of a bull! 110%!! :) This year is going to be "My-Year!" Lets start it out with a bang!! :)

FaMiLy

My family is awesome!! I am in a blogging mood, but have yet decided what to blog about. So.. when in doubt, blog about your family! My family is one amazing family and we are so close. Like if we were velcro... we would never rip apart! Not even superman could break us apart! Anyways.. Here are a few pictures of my good looking family! :) There is a serious one... it was quite painful for us to take this picture, and there is a silly one.. wasn't hard at all! Love my family. The support and love that we give each other is unbelievable! We also have a new addition.. little Zachary Brian Wiser! Such a cutie! Cuter than any baby I've ever seen! He is going to be a stud when he grows up! Anyways.. enjoy the pictures! :) We are one good looking family! :) Don't drool too much... ;)

This picture is one of my favorites! :) Coolest family ever! I bet you can't make those faces... ha! :)

MIRACLES

Okay... I haven't had anything to write about for a long time... Until today!! Miracles... My family has had some amazing miracles in the last year. First my grandpa. He was suppose to have heart surgery after a heart attack. When they x-rayed him, they couldn't find anything wrong with his heart. Then my brother. Scariest experience of my life. One day he was incoherent and could barely say my name. The next morning, he was back to normal again. And now my cousin. Recently diagnosed with cancer that was spread all through his lymph nodes. Went from 3 treatments of chemo to 8 treatments in one day. After testing and final results, it was only through the lymph nodes in his neck. This all happened in a week. Now back to 3 treatments of chemo, just to be save and have a 98% chance that it wont come back again. These miracles just didn't happen out of the blue. My family is absolutely amazing. With the power of faith, fasting, and prayer, anything is possible. And of course, can't forget the help and support of my family. With each trial, we all did a family fast. Every family member was in our prayers, and we knew without a shadow of a doubt that they would be fine. Things like these don't happen every day. Amazing. My family is my biggest strength and I don't know what I would do without them in my life. I know if anything were to ever happen to me, they would all be there pushing and helping me along. Miracles... greatest gift ever! :)

Siblings

I haven't done a post on my siblings for a really long time, and I would like to take the time to thank them individually. My siblings and I are connected in a way that is indescribable. I love them all so much.

Eric: Eric is amazing. He is probably the calmest out of all of us. He is the most humble guy I know. He is so solid in the church and he is going to be one heck of a missionary in just a few months. He will help anyone whenever he gets the chance. He is also a goofball, and the little trickster. He is always pulling pranks on me and making me laugh. He has a way of making you relax and not stress about the stupid things. We have had some amazing times together. There was a time that I thought we were going to loss a part of him. Scariest thing ever. He is back with us, and I couldn't be any more grateful to have him as an older brother. Love you Eric!! :)

Max: Max is freakin' awesome. Once he came back from his mission, it was party at the George house! :) Max is one who knows when something is wrong, even if you try and hide it as best you can. He knows what is up, and he is always thinking about others first. Ever since he got back from his mission, there has been a different glow about him. He is so close to the Lord and he is such an example to me. We can talk about anything and everything. He is my study partner and I couldn't be any happier! We have our study groups in the "Cave of Knowlegde" about every night! We stay up quizzing each other, and even making little songs to help us remember the layers of the skin. He always cheers me up when I need it. Love you Max!! :)

Sarah: Sarah is by far my favorite sister!! :) Sarah and I are about 8 years apart, so you would think that we don't get along right? WRONG!! We get along like 2 peas in a pod. We think on the same wavelength, and we both act like we are 12 when we are together. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't talk to my sister. She married an amazing husband, and he is so much fun! Brian was a little hard to get use to, but he fits in just nicely. :) He makes me laugh, and I love hanging out with him, just as much as my other siblings. Sarah is about to have her first child, and I can't even express how excited I am! Everyday at school, I announce that I am going to be an aunt in about 10 days... yeah they don't care, but I sure as heck do!! :) I am so excited for her. Sarah is amazing. When she sets her mind on something, she can do anything. No matter what it is. She can do anything that she wants to. She is the most determined person I know. She is also one of the hardest working people on this planet. She has achieved so much in just a short amount of time and I envy her for that. I look up to her so much, she is the biggest example in my life. I hope that I will be like her when I am older. She has a plan and she knows where she is going. Love you Sarah!! :)

As you can see.... my siblings are amazing. They are my support in live and my biggest strength. In seminary today, we had a lesson about family. He started off by "taking our families away from us." I pretty much started crying right then and there. It made me think about my siblings and hence the post about them. These 3 people right here, are the best thing that has ever happened to me. We are so close to each other. I know without a doubt, that if anything were to happen to me, all 3 of them would be right by my shoulder pushing me along. You don't find many people like this. They are so supportive in everything that I do. I had a pageant this weekend, and they all had shirts with saying on them about me. They are such goofs, but I was so excited to hear their voices yelling, and screaming at me in the audience. They were such a comfort. Thank you guys for everything you have done for me. I wouldn't be who I am without you 3 amazing examples in my life. Love you guys!! :)
