I'm Pretty Accomplished, It's Fine.


               Today has been a good day, a great day even! Why? Because I am officially done with my very first college exam. woo woo! I honestly have never felt so relieved in my life, walking away from it I just had this urge to high five everybody I passed and give the occasional hug, followed by a totally spontaneous flash mob. I didn't do any of these things, but I definitely had an extra skip in my step. It's not necessarily that I think I did exceptionally well on this test, or that I failed it, it was more along the lines of "I am done having extreme amounts of stress and anxiety and I can now enjoy my weekend!" sort of deal.
            I feel like I haven't blogged in so long, that the need to update you on my super fun life is just killing me. Accomplishments so far are as follows...Number One:  I have found myself a group of friends. Please, hold you applause. I honestly can't even tell you how fantastic these boys are. They are hilarious, fun, and total sweethearts. Basically I just adore them all, and they adore that I love to bake cookies and make food, so it works out beautifully!
             Accomplishment number two: I survived a weekend without Kim! Well, barely. She went home last weekend, and since I had been home just the weekend before (and it made coming back to cedar that much more difficult, believe me) I decided I would skip out on this trip up north and stay here in Cedar City. After concern was shown for my well-being, and a 3 hour nap was taken, I went and did fun things. With MY friends, all by MYSELF. If you have talked to me since I have moved away, you will realize how big of a deal this really, truly, definitely totally is. I can't even tell you the beaming pride on my face at the end of that weekend. You can also imagine how excited I was when Kim got home on sunday night :)
             Accomplishment number 3: I have discovered I make a mean peanut butter cookie. I don't like peanut butter so I haven't even tried one, but everybody else raves about them. It makes me just feel so good inside!
            Accomplishment number 4: I WAS DOMESTIC. I know. Let's all just talk about this for a minute. I made something for dinner that wasn't from a box. I got the recipe from my beautiful sister, went to the grocery store and bought everything, and even made cookies for dessert. ALL BY MYSELF! I was so proud. And it was super delicious and nobody got food poisoning or died! It goes without saying that calling it an Accomplishment is a total understatement. And a shout out to my sweet mommy who made me my stylish and totally cute apron so I could be domestic and smokin hot, at the same time. Hypothetical high five.
            Accomplishment number 5: I took my first exam, which I told you all about earlier :)
Accomplishment number 6: I am happy for me, by me, because of me. I slowly learn that it's ok to be different. I love not being like everybody else, it keeps those I surround myself with on their toes. They're a bunch of cuties and they like me for me. It's such a rewarding feeling knowing that people love you for your soul, not just your face.
            I feel like you are basically all caught up on the world of Haley! It may not be a super exciting life, but I like it because it's my life. I guess at this point the only thing I can do is just keeping trusting myself and the Lord, and making the right decisions to get where I want to be. And while I'm at it, doing something fun and a little crazy (but always reasonable...right mom?) :) Until next time!
