soo grateful

Kay, the weeks just speed right on by hurr in O-Town (Orem). I have school Mon.-Thurs. & work all day Friday and Saturday.. lately. I can't even explain how fast time goes by here. HOLY FETCH.
Anyyywaysssssssss, thought of a story I wanted to share.

So a few weekends ago I randomly got like extremely homesick. I had been surprised I hadn't hardly been homesick at all till this ONE day. So there was a little(okay a lot) drama goin on in our apt. this same day. Finally after all the drama, at the end of the day me and C were the only ones left at home. We had a deep chatty & both of us just started bawling. Like.. it was bad.
Turns out this same weekend I had been house slash dog sitting for my cousins. Holler at Brad, Catherine and little Isla, I love that little family. Anyfetch, so I went to their gorgeous little home to feed the doggie. Still crying, obviously. After this whole day I just wanted to move home. C called me a few hours later (yep, me still crying) and asked if I wanted to go to Maverick, bless her heart cause i just luhhhh mavwick :) So on her way to come pick me up she somehow ran over a hanger. A HANGER. Who just throws a hanger in the road? So if you can imagine, for a sec, a hanger all twisted up and stuck in her tire, k thanks. Not a pretty picture. So pretty much, our day couldn't have gotten any worse after this.. right? While we were outside my cousins house trying to figure out what to do, their neighbor came over to see what happened. He had heard the loud/annoying flapping of the hanger hitting the car. He asked what had happened, and offered to help us. Then, he kidnapped us. Hahaaa just kidding, got ya right? But anywayss, he ended up being SO sweet and randomly way kinda hot. You know that kind..? So he spent like an hour fixing the tire for us. We kept saying thanks, and we told her we owed him a treat or something. He said to us, "Can't someone do something nice for someone with nothing in return? What has this world come to?"
Since that night I realized there really are good people out there. Sometimes I feel like its me against the world, ya know? We all need to be a little (or a lot) nicer. That guy completely turned our day around. When you do something for someone, don't expect anything in return. Solely do it because you know you're helping someone out. That should be enough.
Welp, glad this was a novel and a half, but hopefully I made a point.
So much love,
XOXO

P.s. I don't wanna move home anymore, I am loving it. I just really miss my family!!

    Looking back on my life so far is like stepping off a freaking crazy roller coaster. You don't know what to think. You are laughing because it was so fun, but at the same time you feel like you might puke. Haha okay kind of weird but pretty much just where has time gone?! When the heck did I turn into this 19 in 3 weeks year old? It's just so crazy. But I wouldn't change a thing.
    I moved up to Orem in the middle of August to attend Utah Valley University. UVU baybeeee! Me and my three very bestest friends decided WE were going to move to Provo a few years ago and somehow it just stuck. Here we are. All living together in our cutie patoootie of an apartment, acting like model citizens, just being grown ups and such. NOT! Haha honestly, I don't think we'll ever fully grow up. Sure, we wake up all early on our own, go to school, work, church, and buy our own food(that blows), but thats as grown up as its gettin folks. Living with my best friends has definitly been nothing I thought it would be, but its been fun. When people say you don't know someone till you live with them... well it's kinda true. We had our little fights about decorating and to put your fetching dishes in the dish washer, but since we've been able to get past all that shiz its been great! I love being able to yell one of their names and they're magically in my room. Sick righttttttt?! Not gonna lie though we really need to get a grip on goin to bed earlier, it's hard-core catchin up with me this cold will NOT go away. Anyways, here's to us!

Blog it up!

Hello world of blogging, it's me, LEX.

    I've totally been wanting to start a blog for a while, I just haven't gotten around to it. I figured since I love to write and am wanting to go into journalism, it's a purrrrrrfect idea! Also at this new chapter in my life, it will be fun. I'm beyond excited to start this new hobby.
    I la la looooove reading other people's blogs. It's like reading someone's journal. Getting inside their mind, and seeing how they truly think(non-creep).That's what I hope to convey with my blog, really, honestly, truly, let you in my brain slash life. I am going to be nothing but truthful on this thing, and hold back nothing. I love just letting worlds flow, and expressing myself through writing. Hopefully people read this eventually. It's gonna be poppin muhh peeps. Someday I am going to be a legit blogger... haha
Till then,
xoxo
