updates

Sorry that it has been so long. Life has been sort of insane...many new developments. I will now proceed to list them. Huzzah!

• The first semester of my senior year has just ended. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I magically pulled off straight A's, so that was good.
• I was made one of the 2009 National Horatio Alger Scholars, which includes an all-expense-paid trip to Washington D.C. April 1st through 5th, and also a $20,000 scholarship to a school of my choice. I am extremely excited; I have already started to get to know some of the scholars through Facebook and they are all great people. It is going to be SO fun, and that money was a huge relief.
• I got accepted to BYU-Hawaii. Yay! I'm still not exactly sure where I want to go, I'm waiting to hear from BYU-Provo in February. BYU-Provo has better academics than BYU-H, but I cannot tell you how nice the words "warm" and "beach" are sounding. We shall see.
• I have a boy in my life. For the purpose of this blog, we'll refer to him as "Edward", because our relationship is more similar to one out of Twilight than to any ordinary relationship. I love him with everything that I am, and plan on marrying him when returns from his mission (don't worry-that's at least 3 years in the future). He loves me, too, and its going really great. :-D
• I finally got the actual paper document that is my driver's license. I know, you're all very proud.
• I turned 18! Life as a legal adult is apparently no different. But still, 18, that's fun.
• I just ordered my very own business cards. Random, I know, but I'm excited.

That's all that I can remember. Life is going pretty well, overall. Having Edward in my life has made such a huge difference...I'm a much happier and better person because of him. Its a very special relationship and I'm incredibly lucky to have him. 

All the best,

Lizzy ;-)
