i just read this article and it addressed one of my least favorite injustices in our society. so many times i have heard that this girl is "crazy" from boys or even other girls. i am even guilty of saying this. i believe that there are not just 2 sides to every story, but more likely 4 or 5. i hate that if someone is behaving in a certain way we don't like or agree with, we just assume they are crazy and discredit how they are feeling. we are all entitled to how we feel. that's what makes us human... and feelings are absolutely real to the person feeling them so who am i to tell them they should feel otherwise... i don't know if that even makes sense . this article says it better so sit down and have a good read:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
the last few of weeks... ok the last couple of months have been some of the toughest of my life. but mostly the last few weeks. i went through a breakup and got really sick. on top of that, i have been freaking out about what to do after graduation. i have been going through a sort of a mid twenties crisis, figuring out what do i want in life, in love, in my faith. i have by no means figured anything out yet, and i'm sure i won't figure it out until it happens. but this quote really had me thinking today, so i thought i would share. i think this time is for me to become different from my college self. better than my college self. i definitely succeed some days and fall flat on my face most of the others. but we can only grow by trying right?</div>

halloween was an aging moment for me. for the first time in my single adult life, i had trick-or-treaters come to my door. and i was completely unprepared. "oh... would you like some dark chocolate covered acai berries that aren't in a sealed package??" awkward... thank goodness walmart is 2 minutes away from my apartment. let's just say the whole experience made me feel old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but i had such a fun time dressing up for halloween this year! my sister sheynah is a die-hard halloween fan. she literally plans here costumes a year in advance. i can't even come close to keeping up with her. her malificent costume was unreal. but i had fun doing my skeleton makeup to be a corpse bride. and the best part was my whole costume was free-ninety-nine!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i hope your halloween was a blast. </div>

Maybe because I am 23, single, and about to graduate, but it is exactly the thoughts that have been bouncing around my head for the last year or so. I hate that I put a stigma on me and those around me who aren't married that we are lesser human beings for being single... Anyway, this article is definately changing my view on living.</span><br />

I’m 23, I just graduated from university, and I’m <a href="http://convergemagazine.com/26-unmarried-and-childless-8736/" style="color: #0099cc; text-decoration: none;" title="26, unmarried, and childless">single</a>.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
Many of my friends are married, and a few are starting to have children. And I feel as if I just graduated from high school again. You could say my life is in transition. And it’s true; I am in the middle of shifting myself from university to the career world. But I’ve started to wonder about whether it’s right to refer to my singleness as an in-between stage.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
What exactly am I in-between again?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
“It’s the first day of the rest of my life.” I recently I heard someone on TV say this about her wedding day, and it really bothered me. While I don’t want to discount the gift of marriage, I must say I’m a bit confused and frustrated with this sentiment. I’ve heard the cliché before, but I suddenly felt the weight of it. As if it equates marriage as the start of life, or at least the good part.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
Don’t misunderstand my frustration; I think there is a beautiful element of starting a new family with your spouse. I’m all for godly marriage. But what I’m afraid of is viewing life through the lens of marriage as the goal. For waiting to get married before life starts.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
I’m afraid, because I’m afraid it has happened to me. I’ve been living like I’m waiting for someone to get here. And it isn’t Jesus.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
I’ve wasted my time, my energy, and my emotions on this concept that singleness is just a waiting room for a relationship. I’m tired of this view that my life begins when I wake up next to my husband, because I’m pretty sure my life began 23 years ago when my mom gave birth. And this mentality has robbed my joy.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
As much as I’d like to place all the blame on Christian culture, the perpetual “Have you met anyone yet?” question the world asks me, and the reality that my Facebook feed looks more like a Pinterest wedding board these days, I am convicted of my own failures.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
I’ve been living like God owes me something. Like he hasn’t held up his end of the deal. He has given me the desire for relationship and marriage, and he just hasn’t followed through.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
I’ve been living under the impression that I deserve a relationship.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
I’d be lying if I said Christian culture does much to inhibit this mentality. There seems to be a deep understanding and appreciation for the gift of marriage, but not so much for the gift of singleness (if it’s treated like a gift at all). Rather, singleness is something to be cured. Like I’ve got a disease, and introducing me to your single friend might perhaps cure us both. Singleness is the lump of coal, the gift that is never on your Christmas list.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
There are at least a handful of us standing around, wondering what happened. (After all, I have been pretty nice this year.)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
But it’s never been about being entitled, or even about being nice. I have to stop thinking that I’m doing something wrong here.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
Well actually I am, but it isn’t about fixing something that will magically make a boyfriend appear. It is about changing the direction of my heart.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: center;">
<em> “I’d rather have the right God than the wrong man.”</em> –- Christen Rapske</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
People talk all the time about pursuing people or things for the wrong reasons, but maybe we pursue God for the wrong reasons. Maybe subconsciously I’ve been treating God like he’s a vending machine. And my pursuit of him has really been a pursuit of someone else.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
When did Christ cease to be enough?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
And when did I stop finding my identity, self-worth, and fulfillment in Him, only to place my life on hold for someone I’ve never even met?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
Each day is a gift, and I’m not waiting for it to get here. It is present in every moment, and it begins anew daily. Man-less or not, I want to wake up every morning and be excited because I get to spend my day with the God who created the universe.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">
And I want to do that for the rest of my life.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 5px;">

sheynah and i went to the muse concert for their 2nd Law tour. it was madness! i saw they were coming to slc four months ago and we bought tickets. the countdown was killer but we made it! it was more than just music. it was an art exhibit and a message. the whole theme seemed to be that change needs to happen and soon because our society is crumbling. and i couldn't agree more. if you haven't listened to their latest album, i would highly recommend it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i can honestly say it is the best concert i have ever been to and i don't see how anything else could beat it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ps. i told myself that if i could see the black keys and muse this year, my life would be complete. and it happened! isn't that the craziest?! </div>

i couldn't have asked for a better birthday. i mean, i did have to teach and do parent teacher conference. but i also got to go out to dinner with my mom and sister and some friends to this amazing bbq place, sean's smokehouse, in saratoga springs (the sauces are to die for!) and then eat tres leches with my friends and laugh myself silly with all of the funny gifts. the best might have been the irish setter puppy stuffed animal my mom got me that everyone was fighting over because it was so soft like a real puppy! or maybe the alpaca sweater crystal got me from peru which looks like it could be from zelda, which inspired me to run around to the zelda theme music. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

i'm so excited for this upcoming year!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So today is my 23<sup>rd</sup> birthday. Isn’t that insane?
While I was at school, I got stopped in the hall by a principal asking why I
was out of class. She then realized that I was a student teacher and said I
just looked so young. Made my day!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well seeing how this is my last birthday in college, I
thought I would take a little trip down memory lane of birthdays past. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Freshman Year: I was barely turning 18. No one knew who I
was. Yet somehow my home teacher and now good friend, Moroni, brought me a Dr.
Pepper. My roommates made me a cake. For a little lost freshman, it meant a
lot. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sophomore Year: My roommate Jenny threw me a surprise
birthday. It was an extra surprise because it was actually the day before my
birthday. The apartment was PACKED with people, none of which I knew. I started
getting hugs from all these strangers who knew my name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a blast! They made me wear a
crown and I played a song on the guitar. The actual night of my birthday, I
went to a bonfire in Vivian Park with about 20 people. I walked up to the
bonfire to find a random boy playing my guitar about 15 ft up in a tree. We
also had a girl that no one knew dressed up like Lady Gaga show up with her dog
and they ate all of our marshmallows. I then somehow got talked into camping in
the park that night. And by camping, I mean 20 people squished on two tarps
with limited sleeping bags and pillows. It was one giant spoon and the longest
night of my night haha. However, it was the night I met the boy I would
continue to date the rest of that school year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Junior Year: I went out to dinner at Guru’s in downtown
Provo with my friends, watched a movie and then got dumped by a guy I wasn’t
dating (who I would actually end up dating on and off for years to follow)… Now
I laugh about it, at the time I was completely confused.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Senior Year: I went out to dinner at California Pizza
Kitchen with a group of friends. We then went and watched Mean Girls (the
best!) and I had my first kiss with the guy I started dating. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Super-Senior Year (Yikes!): My roommates threw me a party in
my apartment. There were so many people crammed in my apartment! It was full
circle from my sophomore year because it was the same situation except I knew
everyone! It was awesome to see all my friendships from college all in one
place. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Student Teaching (or Super, Super Senior): Teaching all day
and Parent-Teacher Conference… Ha it’s not all bad. My mom is coming into town
and I have some plans with friends. Let’s see if this birthday can top the
others :) </div>

if you want to have the best strawberries of your life, you have to go to pleasant grove's strawberry days. i'm not kidding. they are to die for. and they are like 2 bucks. i mean really... and not to mention the rest of the festival is fun too. the carnival and rodeo were so entertaining! and an amazing firework show to boot (and that is coming from an idaho falls snob when it comes to fireworks ha)</div>

so we decided to roadtrip down to moab. maybe it was the hottest camping trip of my life. but the blue sky against that red rock made it all worth it. and also the laughs. i have some pretty entertaining friends. the trip didn't feel long enough at all and i really want to plan another trip soon!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if you are looking for some fun hikes in utah valley that aren't your typical provo canyon, i would suggest these two. i don't know why, but this year has been the year of the waterfall for me, and these two just add to the number. they are both gorgeous and really fun hikes. </div>
