I want to write

but I'm in a shlump.

I want to kind of test out my creative writing/any writing skills I have, so what should I write about?

Give me any topic. Or ask some questions for me.

I felt like an English teacher in my outfit. So I wanted a picture.

team

I am going to miss my lovely team so much! I just cry thinking I won't see them everyday. My favorite is mocking Josh with Shanese. We try to talk in a really deep voice and say, "Look at my muscles. I'm so cool, every girl loves me. ... etc." I'm going to miss singing off tune, and all those great ringback tones like, How to Love (probably not the real name), Mozart (weirdly enough), and I'm sexy and I know it. We even just got a new addition to our team, Stephen. He seemed really cool, but I don't know him too well, hence the new addition and me not being there anymore. And Josh.... is just Josh. Loves sandwiches, older women, dresses decently, and gets a heck of a lot of apps. However, I am convinced most of those phone calls are women who hear his deep voice because they can't see him wink to them over the phone.

If people could see me over the phone some way, I'd still be there. haha. I will miss Renee's gospel dvd's on the portable. It was fun to sway and say "Amen!" And no one will ever come close to Shanese's sass. That girl is the cutest, sassiest thing. We had so many great moments talking about guys who wear dark jeans, and moccasins. I am going to miss all of these fun fun times. A lot of people hate their job, but I loved mine. Really and truly.

I hope all of the people I talked to and got apps for really do go back to school. Furthering your education is so important and can help you go so far and reach every potential. I loved talking with people. Working at Response was a great experience and I'm grateful Heavenly Father let me be there as long as I could be there.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. Love you team! I'll miss you more than you will ever know. And that is really the real truth. :)

This is what I love

Being okay with my six year non marriage plan. I'm not against marrying young, but I want to find me before a we.

Sara B. . . she knows how it feels to be a total basket case, and uncharted.
Doesn't the word uncharted sound nice? I close my eyes and imagine a giant bubble bath, a size six swimming suit, the romantics and fancy drinks... like an ice filled diet coke in a pretty glass.

Work. I love being at work. I love my job. I love my co workers. We've added some more to our team, a good addition I think. Now we have a too nice redhead, sass you've never seen, asian muscle flexer and arabic speaker who's also resourceful. I LOVE my team. just in case you didn't already know.

Planet Fitness. Who knew a gym could be so nice? I love the atmosphere, especially when no one judges because you're about dying laughing when your leg is pretty much killed after doing tons of lunges. Working out with my sister is fun and she is a good little trainer.

Best friends. I call my best friend and we think we'll talk for 15 minutes and that 15 quickly turns into a good 45. I am so grateful for my friends. I can't imagine my life without advice, talking about jumpsuits, temptations, and the strength of women being greater than a man's.

School. I love sitting on the front row and being the first one to talk in a group project. I love learning with other people and discussions. School makes me feel accomplished and grateful that Heavenly Father wants me there.

Primary. I love my primary children. They have bright testimonies of the Gospel and I am grateful to teach sweet spirits who love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Acai Blueberry covered in dark chocolate. Costco. Go get some.

no ice

I have a whole case of Diet Coke, but no ice. Here's the bummer... Ice won't fit in my freezer.

Today I started my classes at Utah Valley University. I have class from 8-12 and after going to the first day of my classes, I know I will be a very stressed out young lady come next week. This semester will be hard and long, but I'll manage. . . hopefully.

My Day :

6:00 a.m. wake up

8:00 a.m. in class

12:00 a.m. out of class

3:35 p.m. go to work

8:00 p.m. leave work

8:15 p.m. @ Planet Fitness

9:15 or 9:30 p.m. at apartment/make dinner

10 p.m. read scriptures/pray/sleep

love, Maddie Violet
let's hope this doesn't kill me.

i can do hard things

Heavenly Father will provide a way even if it seems that way is somewhere far away with the gate covered in locked padlocks or maybe just plain invisible. Today is hard. It makes everything else hard. Even though I am worried sick to death, the sun is shining, my family loves me, I've got a Diet Coke with ice, and my faith is too big of a plant now to be cut down.
Love, Maddie Violet

in the year two thousand and eleven

This year was full of a lot of things that surprised me and made me better. I enjoyed it. Some things I've learned :

-I can go to college and pass. Yay! I really am picturig people standing and clapping their hands til they feel like hot plates. I'm sorry, but,getting through my first semester of college was and is an accomplishment.

-My family makes me happy and annoyed and most the time, dellusional. But my heart is just too attached for me to ever not love them. What would I ever do without my hilarious family?

-I know with my whole heart that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true! I know who I am and I know God's plan. I have complete intentions of choosing the right. I love this Gospel too much to ever slip away.

-My job is wonderful. I love working with my team. If you want some sass, some asian, and some really great talks about relationships... just come to the 4 o'clock shift.

-Along with my job, I've talked with people who are struggling.It breaks my heart when I hear them tell me about their sad situations. My heart just hurts for them. I have cried many times over their situations when I'm in my car on the way home. Sometimes it is really hard for me because every single part of me wants those people to feel Heavenly Father's love for them so much, they can't even stand it. I did feel like I couldn't do anything, but then I remembered prayer. I know the power of prayer is real. I don't know if that one man found the missionaries for help with some Christmas presents for his children. I don't know if the kind lady with the accent found hope in the Gospel during the time of discovering she had cancer, or the man who felt he had to bear all of his trials alone has found hope in the love of the Savior. But there is something I do know. I know that Heavenly Father hears our prayers and so I have faith that I can help in some little way.

-Bronte and Tori are wonderful friends. I am so grateful for the example they set for me. I am so grateful for our chats on the phone. I love the talks over the phone that end in excitement. I could never ask for better friends. Heavenly Father knows I need them. I am sure that we were great friends in the pre-existence.

-Jessica, Bailey and Raquel are my great roomies. There is never a dull moment in my house. I love them and their sweet spirits. I am grateful for the late night talks, laughing way too much and the loud toothbrushes. We have such a grand old time. haha... oh the moments in G421. NEVER a snooze.

-I love English.

-Old Television is my chocolate truffle.

-I love being with my grandparents. I love my extended family. I love family parties.

Happy New Year! Cheers!

love, Maddie Violet
