ch-ch-ch-changes!

this post was inevitable.. as with all changes come new experiences, sad times of letting go, and whatnot. the last two months a lot of big changes have happened! first-end of school year means new set of officers for gamma! i was soo excited for the new officers to come in, its just kind of a bitter-sweet feeling cause being the secretary was a blast! but i know other girls need the opportunities and they will all be fabulous! second-the reorganizing of the ysa wards in the valley. i had the same calling in my home ward for about 4 years! it's weird to be released from it. and again, bitter-sweet but sometimes you just have to move on. so far it's been pretty good, can't complain! third-the decision to go to the dreaded summer school! ahhh ok, sure it's a good idea to get the classes done a little faster, but during the summer? what was i thinking? i swear, every time i hear of something awesome going on, i'm almost always at school. summer social life? nada. ha! fourth-and probably the hardest change.. the disbanding of the sororities/frats up at the U. i know it's an inspired change and you can't really question the first presidency.. but i'm a little upset about it. i've made amazing friends and made unforgettable memories. i'm not quite sure what this fall will bring without having gamma. i will miss every single one of them! it'll take time to adjust. that's for sure!

it's all about the attitude, right?

take advantage of new opportunities.

Goooodbye 2o1o...

as 2010 came to close i started thinkin about the year... about where i was a year ago, what has happened, and the things i've learned. i've had my ups and downs. my battles. my victories. i've made new amazing friends. i've lost a few. i've had my joys. i've had my heartaches. i've made mistakes. i've tried to correct said mistakes. i've lost people i love. i've made unforgettable memories. i've discovered new music, thanks to a lot of you. i've enjoyed life. i have everything to be grateful for. my Heavenly Father has blessed me so much.

this new year i am excited for the adventures life will take me on. some things i want to accomplish this year:

meet new people.
get out of my comfort zone.
decide FOR SURE what i want to go to school for.
save money-work out a budget.
improve my running-at least 3 times a week work on speed, hills, endurance.
grow closer to my Heavenly Father. pray more intently, study more often, read everyday. 
learn to play guitar. 
learn more patience. 
wake up to my alarm every morning. 
get to work on time. 
get everywhere on time. 
eat healthy. 
shed some lbs. 
get a fishy and name him...
be a better friend. 
be a better sister. 
be a better daughter. 
be a better servant of the Lord. 
tell myself no. 
write in a journal-blog. 
grow up. 
have fun. 
go somewhere random-totally awesome. 
learn how to dance. 
get back into yoga. 
learn something new everyday. and write it down. 
write down memories. 
be more thoughtful of those around me.
take pictures! lots and lots of pictures. 
try painting a picture. 
finish designing my house. 
learn organization. 

i know the list will get longer as the year goes on and i'll have to remind myself of all of these quite often. but it'll be a good year.

:)

Numero uno!

ooook.... here goes. i  broke down, started a blog. i'm thinkin with the new year, it'll be kinda cool if i did this...let peeps know the going ons in the life of brooke larson. now lets see how long it lasts! haha to the few of you who will probably see this, hopefully it doesn't get too annoying/redundant. there might be times i need to vent, there might be times i need opinions, there'll be funny times to share, maybe i'll share some new awesome music, but hopefully you will ultimately see that life is just great!  i'll write another post probably tomorrow! i need to come up with somethin awesome.

peace and blessings!
