I haven't gotten accepted...but I feel SO confident!!! The Spring semester starts in April and so I will have 3-4 months to get ready and prepared!! Life is just so amazing right now! I feel so blessed with success. But in church yesterday I was listening to our relief society lesson when the question hit me...."What happened to my dream about becoming a mother?" Where did that dream go? I would day dream about the day that I would begin my family, What my children would look like how they would act, how many I would have. I waited for this day like a little one waits for Christmas, but yet as I sat there yesterday I realized I had almost moved on....Sure success is great but our ultimate goal is to return to Heavenly Father with our families...Right? How can I return with my future family if I don't have one? Yesterday hit me hard, "Where are my priorities?" and yes school and knowledge is great and we will take that with us but...being by yourself is no fun. We have the opportunity to procreate. Our Heavenly Father gave us the ability to take his children and raise them as our own! He gave us our life so why don't we create a life for someone else, Bring the spirits to earth to obtain a body and have the same experiences as us. I love my family and everything my parents have sacrificed for me to come here and have this wonderful oppertunity, And I am greatful for the oppurtunity that one day I will have a family of my own and that I have been intrusted with this sacred responsibility.
*So Blessed*

Amazing night!!!!
Tonight was SOOO much fun! I went to temple square with two of my very best friends!!! We went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner and had a blast there! Then Michelle and I took Trax home and Kristin went in her car and we went and got Brandon and we all hung out.
While driving I was standing in the car out of the sun roof (Dangerous I know...) But it was so much fun!! The thrill was amazing feeling the wind in my hair. Then we went to park, and we slid down the slide and everyone but me decided it was too cold so then we went to McDonalds and I played on the playground while everyone sat and talked. Then these two boys came and started being all "cool" like and telling me that if I fell they would give me mouth to mouth and it was really funny haha
I think Michelle was a little embaressed by me but that is okay. I am who I am I shouldn't be basing me actions on what other people are thinking or saying about me. Let them say what they want I will mind my own business and let the Lord deal with them later who am I to judge them? I am no one compared to God in the sky who is all knowing and powerful!!!
I am kind of really sad for the example I have set for my siblings, I almost feel they are disappointed in me. At Great Clips I occastionally have to work a Sunday. I am sad by this but I needed the money, I guess that fear not doubt not comes back into play here. I feared man, but I had made some bad decisions leading me into the postition I was in, I have since then corrected the problem and am now working on saving money to go to school and such!!! With the Lords help I will be getting there eventually.

Almost 2 years later!
I graduated in May and I am working at the Great Clips near my house. I went and applied at the Great Clips before my licence even came in the mail luckily in came the day I had to take it in to sign paper work. Counted my blessings greatly on the that one. Just means it was ment to be. I am still at the Rec Center and so I have the two jobs and am still watching Amber while both my parents work full time.
I am still single, I did have a boyfriend for 2 weeks then he went on a mission and is now serving in the Tempe, Arizona spanish speaking. Our group is all proud of him and the decision he has made. There is someone that I am almost in love with but he has no idea, well maybe he has an idea, be we have never verbally talked about it. But I feel him and I could really make things work....If only, It's just a dream something that I have envisioned but is probally never going to happen. He is truely amazing, he wants a big family is willing to Work (which is hard to find these days) to support himself He has this personality that everyone likes, there is not a single person in the world that can not to him and not leave feeling better, He has an amazing personality to where he can turn everything into a joke, He is very patient and in the 5 years I have known hiim I have never heard him raise his voice in anger. This man is amazing in so many levels and I hope that one day I might be able to tell him or that something might happen but I believe that we are only going to be friends and it saddens me to say that....

GAH!!!!
I am applying at BYU-I and BYU-H and just to put in the application is stressing me out! They ask if I have done anything in my commjunity and all this other stuff but I just didn't do that kind of stuff I hope I can get into it! I trust in the Lord ad know what he will help me get to where I need to go. I know this is right and I know that he won't lead me astray! He will help me go where I need to go. He has a plan for me and now I just need to trust in that plan. I have a friend on a mission right now and he wrote me a letter and in that letter he wrote D&C 6:36 and it says, "Fear not, Doubt not." and I really like it because I just need to trust and I am so happy that my friend wrote that cause it is something that I really needed to hear.
I have had just so many directions that I can go so many good options, What do I pick? Where do I go? I just want my life to be productive. I want my life to mean something to someone else, I want to be somebody. I want to have a cute little family with a loving husband and and I want my kids to be active, I know I'm "strange" for thinking this stuff out loud cause it isn't normal to talk about this kind of stuff but truth be told I really want a good future I don't care if I'm rich, I just want to be stable and not have to worry about debt or anything like that. I really want a good future and the only way to do that is if I work had at it, but I also can't do it without the Lord. He is my saving Grace. I owe him everything!

July
It is now July! We had some wonderful weather yesterday at our street party! We had two blow up water slides a whole bunch of food and lots of people to share it with!
To start the day off yesterday, I drove out to Tooele! I had the privilege to march in the parade with some of my old dear friends!! After the parade was over I got in my car and went to see if some of my other friends the Acosta's were home. I called Hayli on her cell and she answered! They had a 20 minute wait at Jim's and invited me over to say hi! So...I went, they got called to their table and invited me to eat with them! I accepted! I ate a wonderful chicken sandwhich while disscussing past, present, and future with friends. After that I crusied to Kristin's mom's work where I waited for kristin to get there so we could go to my house. When I got there I called her and found out she was still a half hour out. So I turned off the car and went inside to see if I could use a bathroom. (Her mom works at discover card) And I will tell you that they have some pretty up tight security! The doors stay locked unless someone lets you in...and I had to pee really bad. Needless to say that they never came for me...So I went back to the car and got really hot so I decided to turn the car on so I could cool down with the A/C but no luck....The car's battery was dead! So i sat there and sat there and sat there just trying to get my car to start. Well eventually I flagged down a security car and he helped jump start my car. Just as he was finished Kristin showed up! WOOT! So we hoped in the car and took off to the street party!
Once at the party we attempted climbing up the "big boy" slide...Ya...we both failed! So we went to the little kid slide...again failure! But eventually we made it up the baby slide! Don't worry though Krysteen's friends were all there to laugh and make fun of us! But that is why a good sense of humor is for...If you don't laugh at yourself...what are you going to laugh at? But we continued to slide and have fun when we decided we wanted to go swim in our pool...We lifted the cover and yuck! the pool was green! It was a swampy color green! but it was SO warm almost like a hot tub warm. So we got my mom over and she put chemicals in it! Well we got in the pool (even though it was still green) and we started to "mix the chemicals around" The green was slowly fading away! We still couldn't see our feet though...My dad came to tell us to get out because he didn't want any of us to have an allergic reaction....(smart dad!) While I was talking to him something grabbed my foot!!! Yes I screamed...everyone laughed and Dallin came out of the water! Gr!!!
Later when it started to get dark, Dallin was making a firework...yes he MADE a firework, but it was cool! So we went outside and started lighting stuff off! It was a lot of fun! Altogether it was a GREAT day! :D

Hmmm....
I got offered a job in California. I want to take it. My parents want me to stay and finish school.
Staying in Utah:
Pros: Family, insurance, comfort, friends, school,
Cons: Not growing up and taking responsibility, not experiencing life, Not a "big" push for finding a job,
California:
Pros: I would have a job, a place to stay (my own room, bathroom, and car) Save money for school, live with friends I know
Cons: Won't start school back up, lose a friend to a boss, Won't get my degree
I won't have money there for school....and I won't have money for school out here....what is holding me back?! I will still want to return to school...but will I?
I just don't know what to do....

I love my life!
So I really didn't think any one was reading this...but I just found out that two people read my blog!!! My Uncle Leland and my neighbor Tanya! Bless her soul, She is going to talk to her boss about hiring me on! woot!
And life is just great!
I went to youth conference and we went to camp williams which is scary boot camp sargent guys yelling at you. I then repelled off a tower thing, against a wall, and free fall. It was so scary I was almost screaming the whole way down! Then the next night we went and slept in Willow park and were up til one in the morning and up at six! And my team and I were watching Cloudy with a chance of meatballs on the way there and back and it was really cute. We all had an inside joke, I would say "Steve", then Mckay dobbins would say "Yellow", then nicole sorenson would say "Gummy bears". It was a total blast!
Then on Sunday was fathers day and we gave my dad his presents which were, a new I-pod thingy and a flag case for my grandpa's funeral flag. We are going to put his war medals in it as well. I think he got 4 medals. I know one is the bronze star, but no body know's why he got it. He never really talked about the war. I mean NEVER, to the point I forgot he had served! But after that we went to my grandma's house where we had a BBQ!!! :D It was delicious! yummy! Everyone was there! I had a great time, listening to the stories, I never really talk much at family parties anymore...I don't know why. But all in all it was a WONDERFUL day!
Then today on Monday, Krysteen and I had a cow racing-pool party! It started at 10a.m. and went pretty much all day! I had a blast even though it was Krysteen's friends who showed up. there was Mckay sharp, William Lickiss, Arenn , Joel , Payden hoover, Jase Hoover, Benny , Becky , Skyler (my brother), Amber (Sister). It was great fun!
Then I went to class. Yes it was waxing day! I have been waiting for this day for so long! Because I haven't been able to shave. But Shelby Burton waxed my legs, and oh man...I thought I felt a few tears leave my eyes. I'm still a little sore, but that should be gone soon! Then I got a facial and she put the cleanser on and my cheeks started burning! So I told her, and so she put a different cleanser on and it still burned. But I didn't tell her because I felt bad. So she finally got that one off and put exfoilient on...Holy cow! If ever there was a time I wanted to scream...so I told her and she took it off. Then she started the massage, and I don't remember the rest...because...I fell asleep! :D
But this has been my wonderful life!!! :D

And life is just great!
I went to youth conference and we went to camp williams which is scary boot camp sargent guys yelling at you. I then repelled off a tower thing, against a wall, and free fall. It was so scary I was almost screaming the whole way down! Then the next night we went and slept in Willow park and were up til one in the morning and up at six! And my team and I were watching Cloudy with a chance of meatballs on the way there and back and it was really cute. We all had an inside joke, I would say "Steve", then Mckay dobbins would say "Yellow", then nicole sorenson would say "Gummy bears". It was a total blast!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Today in class we decided to have a birthday party! because being at night we all get a little tired and needed a little pick me up. So we partied! Everyone brought food, and bubbles, and party hats. And when someone would ask who's birthday it was we would simply say...it's someone's birthday out there. It was so much fun I took like...two pictures! I will post them eventually! but we had our birthday party and then I got a facial because that is what we are learning and then after that we basically sat and talked about booth rent and brazillian waxing and waxing in general! It really was a great night, I wish it didn't have to end. But once class was over Shelby and I went to Jordan landing where we went to visit her boyfriend Chad Aderson! They are so cute together! Chad and I are best friends that have a secret hand shake! YAY!!! it is so cool! Shelby and I decided that he is a vampire because he walks super fast just like Edward Cullen! haha So we just simply decided he was a vampire! hehe Good-night!
So today I got an e-mail from the missionary i'm writting...granted I e-mailed him first...only because I have gotten a letter in 2 months...I know that kind of sounds obsessive but...I use to get a letter 2 weeks after ever letter I sent. So this is dramatic! A couple months I found out this girl was writting him as well. Which I don't mind people writting him...but I swear this girl's goal in life is to destroy mine...She is mean and cruel and will go out of her way to hurt me. Well once she found out that I was writting him...guess who started writting him...that's right she did!!!! So I want to say it is her fault that she turned him against me...somehow. But those letter's made me feel special. Like someone out there in the world wanted me. Like there was a small glimpse of hope shinning for me. I don't want to say it but I would think about the future with him in it...how it would be. What would happen, how would our kids turn out, would we eventually end in a divorce, or would we live happily ever after like a fairy tale? These questions almost made it feel real. Like one day it would happen. But truth is, it probally won't once he gets home I won't see him. He gets home on June 25, 2010 about noon. That is what he said in his e-mail. I want to see him....but does he want to see me?!
Bordom
I thought night school would be great! :D Go to school at night sleep in and all that jazz. But actually I get really bored throughout the day. I haven't hung out with friends except catherine Lickiss and Shelby Burton! I'm in my second week of summer...this isn't normal! :/ ugh!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waxing...
Well for esthetics's Shelby and I have to be waxed because our teacher said...It will happen next week but until then...We have been growing our hair out and so it is very long and VERY disgusting! haha But we will be waxing next week. where we will have an option of a Brazilian wax...For those of you who don't know...it's your cha-cha. Well Shelby and I were disgusting it and we are both terrified out of our shorts!!! haha oh dear. But we now everything will go well and are still indecisive about the Brazilian! haha oh my oh my...
Babysitting!
So on Friday I went to babysit for the Stringers as usual! And as I was cooking dinner Andrew (5) Asked me, "Mindi, are you married?"
"Nope."
"...(thinking) Well I have a mission for you,...Find someone you love...And marry them!"
haha "Ok I will eventually"
It was so cute! :D I love the kids I babysitt, They always make me smile!!! :D

college
I started college yesterday and now have a but load of homework that I get to play catch up on because Shelby Burton and I started about 4 weeks late because we just ended high school on Wednesday June 2, 2010. It was cool. I didn't exactly know what to think. I don't exactly feel graduated yet. But yet I feel the pressure of responsibility. To pay the bills, to get a job, and to get things done on time. I don't have that many bills. I am lucky that my parents decided to spoil me. But now that it is here growing up is coming and it is coming fast. I have to pay my own gas and They will make me pay insurance. All without a job, but I will be looking for one. I need to look for one. Although I really don't want to, I want to stay a little kid with no responsibilities but I guess with that attitude I won't get anywhere so I will buck up and start today. Find that job and do what needs to get done!
San Fran
(Left):Nadine and I were riding a double decker bus...it got windy...
(Left): Some of the most beautiful house we saw!!!
(Left): I got really piccture happy...this is us in the airport going to get our tickets! :D
I went to San francisco! :D It was so beautiful, and the origanality and the place to go and all the people! I saw dancers and protester and homeless people which made me realize how lucky I was to have a roof over my head and food to eat everyday! I never really realized how lucky one could be. As I walked down market street (Kind of the main street) I would see out of the corner of my eye a lady digging in a garbage can so that she could eat that day or a man hiding under cardboard so that he could stay warm and I saw another lady who attempted so many times to take shelter in a resturant and had to be taken out by security. As I lay in my bed I now think of those people and I lay there grateful, for my bed, for the food my father provides, and for the warmth of my many jackets that I could choose from. I love where I live and I am truely grateful for EVERYTHING!

I love you daddy
Let me tell you I love you,
You mean the world to me,
Your helping hand,
the words once said,
still in my head since three.
I love you daddy,
don't leave me now
I need you now with me
To hold my hand and lead the way
So I'll know what to say.
I love you dad
Your with me now,
To guide and show the way,
To teach me right from wrong you see,
And love me day by day.
I love you dad
And now I know
what to do and say
because you taught me right from wrong
I'll walk the chosen way.
Seminary Graduation

My grandma and dad and mom came. And also some of my friends that graduated with me! I am very glad I had this oppertunity to graduate seminary with all 4 years completed. And now soon I will be graduating from high school, Wednesdays the day!

Stress!
I have to pay for school...I have to pay to eat on vacation...I want to have fun...I need to find a job, but don't want too...Please help me, My parents want me to do all this stuff but when I ask for help I usually dont get the help I need. They tell me to grow up and that I should be able to figure things out for myself. I'm still a little girl who didn't give a care about the world until this year and is now trying to play catch up! I wish I knew what I was doing...but truth be told, I don't have a clue. I don't know anything about bills or expenses, or government stuff, ask my friend Mady what I thought a fashist was...I feel I know nothing in this world of utter chaos. what is wrong?

Now I know
Today I was walking up the stairs and I looked at some guys walking in the hallway below me and then next thing I new I was on my knees witha throbbing pain of hurt! I had fallen, tears came to my eyes as I was thinking of the pain. when I looked up and saw laughter, the tears were no longer for the pain. I started to laugh to hid the pain and ran up the stairs quickly to get away from the mocking faces. True it must have been funny and I probally would have laughed as well, but now I know.

What a life
6 Days until I graduate, trying to figure out who gets tickets and who doesn't. I have one more, but the one person who I want to give it to won't answer her dang phone!!!! :/
hmmm.....Tonight we as a family are going to be watching Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter one of the best movies ever! Haven't read any of the books but I LOVE the movies! :D
One of my favorite people is my little sister Amber. She always brightens my day when I am sad and she is there to help me have fun through the day. One time I was crying because I was scared and she told me not to be scared because the light was on. Which it was, both physically and spiritually. Christ was there with me and I could feel it.
Last night I had a dream that I got married! Exciting every girls dreams! :D But when I looked at my new husband he had the face of my bishop...AKWARD! hehe
Yesterday was a fun day! :D I weeded my backyard for the first time this year and then at 2 the laruals of our class had a going away party for all those who are moving and who might leave us. then after our little get together me and Catherine went to pick up my friend Kristin from the TRAX station closest to us and we went to Old Navy because they had there flip flops for only a $1. well we got there at they were gone figures it was 5:00 at night! So then we dropped Kristin off at TRAX because she needed to get home and me and Catherine went to the mall. And her mother Vikki texted Catherine that she needed to come home. So we packed up from the mall and left. Then as we were driving we figured out that Catherine really didn't need to go home and something was just misiterpreted. so we wen to wal*mart where I for 2 cute flip flops ($2/ea.) and a way adorable shirt ($1) I was pretty proud of myself. After we left wal*mart we ventured on to our ward party to sign a song and eat some food! :D There we ran into Michelle (Catherines sister) and Carmen and her familia! Where I got to eat some yummy enchaladas! :D and learned to say and spell, "Hola, mi nombre es, Mindi!" Which means Hello my name is Mindi or you could say "Hola, lloma Mindi" I call myself Mindi! :D then Me, Catherine, Krysteen (mi sister), and Andres ventured back to wal*mart where we bought a way cute jacket for Krysteen. Then off to mi casa where we played games. Where Carmen, Migeul and Nielly would soon come to join! :D It was a great night filled of fun and splendor! :D
