~I'm a passionate fan of BYU, and have a 13 year old fan girl crush on Jimmer and Taysom Hill.
~I play sports. I played basketball, track, golf, and tennis for my high-school and wish I could've played soccer and lacrosse too.
~I play the guitar, piano, and sing, and it's on my bucket list to learn the harmonica and violin.
~If you don't like the Hunger Games, you don't understand it.
~Whoever created the "No Christmas music before Thanksgiving" rule isn't cool.

Freshman Year of College
-The hardware that was put in a year ago into my knee somehow shattered and got infected, along with a sprained MCL. In the surgery to remove the cyst covered pieces of knee hardware, the surgeons had to recut and reconstruct the MCL. . . . . AGAIN which  put me back at the beginning recovering for my MCL

Going into my sophomore year of college, I am the healthiest I have been in a LONG time. I still have almost daily pain either in my back or knee, but I am playing sports, running, hiking, lifting, and totally back to my normal life for  the first time in a LONG time. I LOVE MY BODY! <3 a="" able="" all="" and="" been="" font="" from="" gift="" god="" have="" heal="" i="" is="" it="" miracle="" mortal="" nbsp="" of="" problems.="" silly="" that="" these="" to="" truly="">
