Lyman, Wyoming!!

This past weekend Rachel and I took off on Thursday to go to Whitney's house! Whitney asked me last week if i was willing to come up and watch the twins while her and her husband went hunting for the weekend! It was cake!! They woke up every day around 8 i would feed them Cheerios play with them for a bit and then put them down for a nap and then they would wake up and it would be lunch time and i would feed them dinner, then play with them and they went to bed at like 8:30!! Whitney and Jeremy came home every night around 8! Playing with the twins it just a treat! They are silly and funny to play with and watch. Watching them eat is so funny and how messy they are! I learned that Kylee LOVES Macaroni and Cheese! Kamri loves you chasing her. I was teaching Kylee the whole time how to walk she is going to be hard to control once she can walk!! I loving watching the girls do everything that they do! On Friday night Rachel and i decided to go and drive around and find what we can find. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN! We took pictures around the LITTLE town. and went to the local grocery store. Everything is to different there, and EVERYTHING is so little and it all closes early! But it was a very great get away from everything weekend and i have decided i need to do it more often!!

My thoughts!

The past couple of weeks i have focused on me and what i need and i have learned so much so i thought i would just do a list:

1: BOYS ARE STUPID!!
I have finally moved on from Bryce, and i have finally ready to start dating and going on dates again, but for some reason that is like against guys religion. Its either guys don't go on dates with people anymore or Leslie is just butt ugly! I asked one guy on a date a couple weeks ago and he said no, and my friend asked another guy for me because i was a complete chicken and well he said no also. So I am just way to much of a chicken to ask any guy on a date again a fear of rejection. But its like i am so sick of trying so hard. I just wish a boy will show me I'm worth the effort. I am worth getting over the fear of asking a girl on a date and ask me. Sense i have been 16 i think i have been on a total of 3 or 4 dates that the guy has asked me. I only went to high school dances that were girl choices. I went to almost everyone my Jr. year and 2 or 3 of them my senior year. I only went to one guys choice dance, prom my senior year and Bryce took me (he didn't even go to my school).

2: Its time to prepare!!
I have finally realized that my next big steps in life are graduating from college and Marriage. I will not Rush into marriage it will happen when its suppose to happen but i need to start preparing for when that time comes because i want to be completely prepared when it happens. Many people tell me 1 or 2 years and you will be married yes that scares the crap out of me i am way to young to be getting married but what if it a year away and i am not ready at all. Marriage will come sooner then i think and i am so far from ready for that. But i am getting there, everyday i am working closer and closer to the temple.

3: Happy to be me!!
I use to tend to be someone else to make everyone else around me happy. I would do stuff that wouldn't make me happy but it made other people happy. But i realized its time to focus on me. Its time to make Leslie Shore happy and put me first. I am just as important as everyone else. I am doing what i want to do. I am doing what i think is best for me. I am being the REAL Leslie and i will never let anyone take her away from me and try to change me. If you don't like me the way i am then you don't need to talk to me. I am a strong self Driven person! I am so happy to be me and not someone fake. Not someone i am not because for so long i have been trying to be what everyone wanted me to be and everyday it would just crush me down. I am now building myself up and no one can take me down.

4: BEST FRIENDS ARE AMAZING
I have so many friends that i can count on any second of any day. I have Ryan Roper who will drop anything and talk to me and call me and just let me vent my anger and frustrations out and will tell me exactly what he thinks and is probable the most caring person in the world. I have Sophie and Kristen who will rescue me from my house when i am down and sad. because sitting at home when you are not in the best of moods just makes things worse. We can do the wildest of things and its just so much fun. We get out and play a lot and they are the best to talk to and they will give me words of encouragement. I have Rachel who just makes me forget about everything when i am with her and can make me laugh even when i am on the verge of tears. These friends are what i want to be. I want to be a friend that anyone can turn to. A friend that no matter what i am just a phone call or drive away. I want to be what those 4 people are to me. The lord put them in my life to help me and now i am ready and standing waiting for him to put me somewhere so i can be that friend to them. All 4 of these people would never leave my side, even if i screw up so bad they will forgive me and put it behind me. I am being a Best Friend, I am being a Friend!

5: Forgive and Forget
I REALLY needed to learn that. I regret with all my heart some things i have done in my past. I have blow things way out of proportion, and i would hold it against them for a long time. Everyone makes mistakes no one is perfect and i mess up all the time and so why should any of my friends be different. My biggest one that still kills me to this day is my birthday. I think i got mad at Bryce almost everyday for him not being able to be with me on my birthday. He had no control what so ever over it, and he had somewhere else to be that was A LOT more important then a stupid birthday. If he could have, he would have came down but he had no choice. I blew that completely out of proportion and i believe because of my birthday that is why i lost him. Even though i got mad at him so many times for that he did so much to make it up to me, he called me on my birthday even though he shouldn't have because he was on his high adventure and had VERY little service. He let me spend time with his dads family on the 4th of July were i crashed his wave runner. He sent me flowers on my birthday to show that he did care and felt really bad. He came down and we spent an amazing day together on a date. and HE made me a blanket!! and i never truly told him how much all that stuff meant to me, I let the stupid him missing my real birthday take over all the amazing stuff he did to make it up! Even though he is not in my life anymore i wish he could know how much everything he did meant the world to me. It probable was one of the best birthdays ever, but i never EVER thanked him for it all!! I have learned to forgive and forget and i am positive it will keep together so many friendships.

I just need to say sorry to anyone I have hurt. Thanks to everyone for everything they have done for me. I AM SO SORRY!! and THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! I LOVE YOU!!

Dear everyone:

It has been way to long and so much has changed in the past long while! I have graduated high school and I have moved on to bigger and greater things! I have many things that have changed so i think i will just make a list:


1. Bryce and I are not together anymore! Its was by far the best thing for me! He doesn't want anything to do with me and that's is his problem not mine. There are so many guys out there that i didn't realize until Bryce was gone! I love being single and am just having fun dating lots of boys.


2. I am not going to snow college! I made the choice to go to snow and had my apartment papers filled out and the check written and everything and i couldn't get myself to mail it! It just felt completely wrong. So i am now living at home and going to uvu.


3. I AM IN COLLEGE!! ahh just recently i have started school at uvu. I LOVE IT!! I have 3 classes. I start out in Intro to film and really the only reason i took that class was to get rid of the stupid fine arts credit. but my teacher is really nice and i should be a fun class. Next i have math! my math class is so stupid. I was placed into math 950 because i can not take test very well and bombed the ACT and the placement test. The 2nd day of class i learned how to Add, Subtract and Multiply! I go to class and i just work on homework. As of right now i have homework done that is not due until End of September and still working away on getting it all done and out of the way! My last class in History!!! I LOVE MY HISTORY CLASS!! He makes history so fun and entertaining! My teacher is so funny and i am really excited to go to class everyday with him!


4. I got a lap top!! I love it having it at school as been really really convenient And as much as my mom says she hates it i think she secretly inside loves it because i am not using her computer 24/7 so she can use it 24/7. Not to mention my family members use it a lot. We had to get a new computer and before we got that new one i don't think we had a computer for a good 3 weeks and so everyone used my lap top to check email and do lots of things. Right now they are using my lap top to do home work because the word program on the computer expired and they are waiting for the new one to come in the mail. Its really nice to have this one for back up because it always works and it has wireless Internet!


5. I have made new friends!! I have always been close to a girl i work with at work named Sophie. But now we are together a lot and do a lot of crazy things! Not to mention i am now really good friends with a girl named Kristen who i also work with!
I love them to the max and they are here for me 24/7 with out fail! (they prob will kill me for putting that picture up but oh well) Sophie is the girl on the left of me and Kristen is on the right! Sophie the other day came up to me and asked me if i would want to move out into a house that's 100 dollars a month!! So in the end of December Sophie and i are moving into a house in American Fork until the summer!!! I am so excited to be out on my own


6. I am now Manager at Taco Amigo!! At the beginning of June the Owners of Taco Amigo were in need of a manager and they came to me and asked me if i would be willing to do it! I told them yes, of course and have been manager ever sense! I love it because i work a set schedule every week and so i could plan school, and play around it! I have a work over load but i still like it a lot!! I manage Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights from 4:45-C. Then I work Tuesday and Thursday days! In case you guys don't know I would be the 3rd SHORE manager. Both Jsee and Haylie were managers! I love being manager! It has gotten me closer to all my workers and get to know them all a lot better!!


This is my simple life!!! I love every bit of it!! I would will never want to take anything back that has happened in the past couple year!! I love my life and everything going on in it!!
