UPDATE!!!

So I realized earlier today as I was reading my sisters blog that I haven't written on my blog for a while..... So I thought I might as well.
In August I started taking classes again at UVU. I am taking a institute class (a religious class) on Repentance and Forgiveness by a family friend and I am also taking Essentials of Life-span Development. Both of my classes are amazing. In my Life-span development class I am learning a lot about myself and what other people are like and how they think. It is very interesting. I will admit though that my institute class is my favorite class. Not only is it spiritually uplifting but there are a lot of cute guys in it too and most of them are returned missionaries (I say most because I'm not sure about a couple.) I also end up laughing a lot (even though I try to keep it quiet and only before it starts)(and it is all because of one of the cute guys who is hilarious) so it isn't techniquely my fault.
A little while ago my family put on a yard-sale to raise some money to help my sister and brother-in-law who are trying to adopt. I was amazed at all the things people donated. I was also amazed to hear that people would just come and donate money and not buy anything. It helped me realize that there are still amazing people out there who will help out when it is needed.
My younger brother (I can't call him my little brother anymore since he has become taller than me now) proved that he is worthy of respect by what he did just the other day. While competing to be named region champ in cross-country he made sure that the guy who beat him was not disqualified (since the kid didn't stay on route on the last turn) just so that the kid could still go to state. Even though he could have let the kid be disqualified which would move him up to be region champ he chose to let the kid stay qualified. That just shows what kind of character he has.
I have started mentoring (I guess that is what you could call it) a girl who is 13 and has Asperger's Syndrome and who has been through a lot of difficult things in her life. I am having a blast doing it. She is so smart when she puts her mind to something. She reminds me a lot of me though. Some of the things she has troubles with I do or did too (like turning in homework on time, keeping things organized, etc.).
In my Life-span development class there also is a mother of a 14 year old girl who has Asperger's Syndrome. I have tried to help her with trying to understand how her daughter thinks.
Other than that everything is still the same. Roxie (my pug and bestest friend) is still alive and doing great (from what I know).
Like always if you have any questions just let me know.
