I just don't know anymore... The other day it hit me that I really don't know what I want to do with my life and what I want to go to school for. I was pretty sure I was going to go into nursing but lately I have been thinking that may not be the direction I want to go and to be honest I have no idea what I want to do! Part of it may be the fact that I am scared to make a decision because, what if I make a decision and I hate the decision I made? School isn't cheap and I don't really want to be in it for the rest of my life because I can't decide what I want to do. So while I was freaking out I decided it was time to call my mom because, she usually can talk me through a situation where I am stressed to the max and just want to curl up in a bawl and cry until I finally fall asleep and then I won't stress about it anymore. I am so glad I called her. She gave me some great advice which has really helped. I expressed to her that I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life and that I really just don't know what I want to do next year. I loved what she told me after I had expressed my concerns... She said, "Kelsey, you are only twenty years old your life doesn't have to be decided in a day and you don't have to know what you are going to do right this second" and you know what she is right!!! I am young and its okay that I have no clue what I am going to do. Its okay that I am scared to make a decision. Its okay that other people know what they are going to do with the rest of their lives and I don't. IT'S OKAY!

On Jan. 30, 2014, Utah County Sheriff, Sargent Cory Wride, was shot and killed while on duty in Eagle Mountain, Utah. He was a good family friend of mine. Shortly after Cory was shot, another Utah County deputy, Greg Sherwood, was shot in Santaquin, Utah. After being shot in the head, he is on the road to recovery but will be out of work for a while and will also have many medical bills. In my eyes both of these men are heroes, and so are their families. The Wride family is now supporting officers by starting a petition to protect them by adding bullet proofing to officer's windows. This will help from tragedies, like this family experienced, from reoccurring. 100,000 signatures are needed by March 7, 2014 in order for them to continue in their efforts to protect other officers.
This is a link with Nannette Wride, and Nathan Mohler (Sargent Cory's wife and son) explaining more about the petition. http://www.4utah.com/story/d/story/sgt-cory-wrides-widow-is-on-a-mission/25237/_u872VaGAkqOZ8lpDNq58A This is a link explaining more about the petition, https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/protect-our-law-enforcemnt-being-shot-sgt-cory-wride/pjMtL3j3 For anyone reading this please take a few minutes to sign this and support this great cause! -Kelsey Today has just been one of those days when the little things have made me happy. This morning when I woke up I was pretty sure I was in for one of the worst days ever but after a little nap and taking a step back to remember just how truly blessed I am, my attitude changed and I was ready to face the day that was ahead of me. I could have continued thinking about all the bad things that could be happening to me but, instead I thought of all the good things and it made this day a pretty darn good one. For the first time I was happy it was snowing. As I was walking to the bus in the snow listening to my music I couldn't help but smile. Normally I would be mad that my hair was being ruined by the wet snow, and that it was cold and miserable but today for whatever reason I didn't mind it maybe it was the peacefulness the snow brings with it. The one thing I like about the snow is that it makes everything quiet, it makes you forget about the everyday stresses you have even if its just for a split second. Today the snow was a blessing in my book.
Today, my mom's friend Sgt. Cory Wride was laid to rest after being shot and killed last week. As I thought about that all day I couldn't help but be heartbroken for his friends and family who are mourning the loss of this amazing man, but as sad as I am for them, I am happy for Cory. I am saddened that he was taken far to early from this life but I cannot imagine a better place to be. Heavenly Father needed him whatever the reason maybe and as hard as it may be to understand, it has reminded me that Heavenly Father has a plan for each and everyone of us. My life is not my own. My life is in the Lords hands and to me, those are the best hands that my life could be in I wouldn't want it any other way. Today has been a day filled with little reminders of how blessed I am. LOVE the Life YOU Live. My roommate/cousin Annie introduced me weebly.com today and I fell in love. So I decided to move my blog over here instead of keeping it on blogger. Don’t get me wrong I love blogger but I feel like Weebly is much more user friendly especially for me who isn’t great with computers in the first place. I feel like I can customize it so much easier than I ever could with blogger. So here is to a fresh start with the new blog even though it still has the same name, maybe now I will post a little more often than I did before but I can’t make any promises there. School has been keeping me busy and when I am not doing school related things I try and stay far away from my computer since I feel like I am attached to it lately. But I guess that comes with going to school with out my laptop I would be lost.
