On Monday I went and turned in my application again to apply to the Elementary Education Program. I was told that it was less competitive, so I might have a better chance getting in. That really boosted up my self-esteem when my advisor told me. I actually just wanted to take my application back and say, "Excuse me, is my application that bad?" haha!! I should find out in a couple weeks if I FAIL or not.

...nEw DaTiNg StRaTeGy: HITTNG on Boys...

So a week ago Saturday I went golfing with a really good friend of mine. His name is Nick and he lives in the same apartment complex as me and pretty much takes care of me. He is great! He told his friend that a girl was going to be coming and playing with them. They were all cool with this because I am a girl and they were ready to kick my trash. Then they found out I played on the golf team, but I let them know I hadn't played in a good two to three years. Their confidence built right back up.

Me and Nick

Well we get to hole one and this guy comes up and was like im golfing by myself can I join your group? They said yes and he golfed with us, but if you would like to know more about Mr. Creeper Craig ask me when I can tell you face to face. He was a CREEPER that is for sure. He knew a little too much about me than he should have known.

Anyways, hole number one: I step up and totally miss the ball. I calmed down and was like Tashie they are just boys, get your head together. I take a practice swing and try again and MISS again. Well I did this two more times and finally just picked up my ball and walked to the cart and said i was going to not play hole number one. I was so embarrassed. My body was shaking so bad because I was nervous and embarrassed and it was written clear across my face.

About, hole number 12: I hit the ball really really far and off to the side of the fairway. I get to my ball and realize that I have EIGHT trees standing in front of me and pretty much can't hit a straight shot. I take out my five iron and was going to pull the great shot that my dad taught me. The one where you just punch it low back to the left into the fairway where everything will be just fine. Well, that plan didn't go so well. I hit the tree right smack in the center and the ball came flying back and hit Nick's friend, Tyler, right in his arm. I was so embarrassed and couldn't believe what I had just done I ran to the cart and tried to hide. I apologized over and over and he kept telling me he was okay. It was great that I get to play the rest of the round with him, so not awkward at all.

Tylers mark three days later!! :( poor lil boy!

Well on Tuesday I get this text from a strange Idaho number that I have no idea who it is. I open it up and it says, "Hey Tasha, this is Tyler, I have no feeling in my arm and its about to fall off."

Well we talked for the next couple of days and on Thursday he asked me to go to the demolition derby with him. Now exactly how does that work, you beat a person and they ask their friend for your number and then ask you out on a date?!?! Its pretty crazy, if you ask me. Well of course I said yes, how could you say no to such a cute boy that you beat up. Although I do think he was pretty brave asking me to go with him. He must of realized that there would be no golf clubs or golf balls there so he would be safe.

That is pretty much the end of my story! Life is great! School may be a lil crazy at the moment, but I am so happy :) and just love LOGAN!

Summer has officiallly ended for me. The month of August was a little too
crazy for me, but it made me reflect on LIFE and how great it is.
You never know where your life will take you or when it might be taken away from you.
At times like these I am so thankful for my family and how close we are to each other.
I am also so thankful for the great understand of eternal families that I have.

Trials come into our lives, but I have had to tell myself that my trials are quite small compared to others out there. Not getting into my program I though was a HUGE trial, but it is just a little bump in the road. I have decided to take some Family Consumer Human Development Courses this semester. I am really enjoying them. At this point I haven't made a final decision on a major or what I am going to do there. I have tossed around a few ideas, but nothing is set in stone.

I have the greatest roomates ever!! Two of them are from Burley and the other one is from Ogden. We don't get much sleep because we stay up until 3 in the morning just talking. Its great!! I have made some great friends since I stayed down in Logan this summer. I wouldn't have changed staying down here for anything. Logan has become my new home and if I ever leave here I think it is going to be hard and a part of my heart will stay there.

I am still working at the Daycare. I love the kids there so much. I came home for two weeks for a little vacation to clear my head and I missed my kids so much. I had the opportunity to work with the elementary aged kids. I grew to LOVE those kids. I asked to be able to work with them when I came back. It has been a little crazy with school starting up and the enrollment has picked up, so I haven't been able to work with them as much as I would like. Everyday when they come to the daycare though they find me and say hi and give me a hug. There is nothing that makes me feel better than that. I love these kids, they hold a huge part in my heart and my life. I can't wait to be able to get back into their class and be able to help them with their homework. They are great and they teach me so much.

Sorry this post is so long, but that is the update on my life!! Hang in there and maybe I will do a post with some pics!
