Steven

The other day after posting I realized I had forgotten someone very important: Steven. This kid has never left my side in a time of need. He is my confidant and much much more! People thought we were going to get married because every day of our high school career we held hands for as long as we could. I love him and will miss him these next two years!

The Begining of the Rest of my Life... Again

                Here we are halfway through the first month of the New Year and I’m pretty sure that most of my New Year’s Resolutions have gone down the drain. So many things have happened in my life over the last year, everything from mini-mental breakdowns, school plays, and graduating high school to starting college and making wonderful new friends.

                To start off my year of 2010, we have to start August of 2009:

                All that summer was spent with my best friend. When I wasn’t working at a day camp for Cub Scouts I was at his side and when he wasn’t at Wendy’s he was at mine. So of course, being a crazy high school girl with hormones, I started to fall for my best friend. Looking back it probably wasn’t the best thing to do, but what can I say? I only tell you this (again) because it was a lot if my senior year was affected because he came back from Camp with a girlfriend.

                But enough about my heart ache! Senior year started out great (other than the crazy stuff)! I got the part of “Mama Paroo” in “The Music Man” staring alongside one of my other best friends as “Harold Hill”! Due to this part I got to fulfill my lifelong dream of dying my hair red! It was an amazing experience that I will never forget!

                Not only did I get a lead part in the Musical but I finally got into the Show Choir at my high school: “Vocal Spectrum”! This was another amazing opportunity to build my character and my voice. It also made me learn patience.

                As 2010 finally came in, I had had my wisdom teeth out and was ready for my face to get over it! The winner months weren’t really exciting, I mean I got to stage manage a student produced play but that was about as exciting as it got! Nothing really changed over those months.

                Come March I went to my first dance with a date. It was girl’s choice and I took one of my close friends that is two years younger than myself! It was amazingly fun!

                I helped with the spring play and my children did amazing!!

                As graduation drew nearer and nearer so did prom. I had never been asked to a dance my whole high school career and I never planned on being asked, I never was going to make the cut. One random day my best friend (the one that I fell for the summer before) walked up to me. He said:

                “So once upon a time, I was going to ask this girl to the dance in a really cute way but I couldn’t think of anything so…“

                At this point I was thinking up ways for him to ask this girl when he continued:

                “Do you want to go to the dance with me?”

                My mind went blank. I had no idea that was coming in my direction. I sat there for a couple seconds and then: “Awe cute!! Yes I would love to!”

                The night of the dance came and we (or at least I) had an amazing time!! It was one of the best days of my life up to this day. I think I’ll always have a place in my heart for him but I’m pretty sure I’ll get over him and he and I will have a friendship that last until the end of time!

                The day of graduation from high school came and went. The only thing about that day was that I closed the door on high school, hoping never to look back, and opened the door to the future.

                Summer 2010 consisted of working at a Scout Camp as the Trading Post Director.

               

August 2010 came and I moved to Logan Utah to start college at Utah State University. Here I have met so many wonderful friends that I think will be in my life for a very long while!

                December 2010: Christmas break- one of the last times to hang out with two of my best friends before they leave on their missions. I spent Christmas with my family and had an awesome time,

but the real fun came New Years Eve. My friends and I had an amazing time with activities such as fondue, pee-my-pants-funny games, making fun of “Twilight”, and finally kicking in the New Year with an act of feminism: burning bras!

                Now as I am sitting here in January 2011 I look back at everything that has happened both good and bad, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

                I look forward at the years to come: continuing college

               

                Crying because Steven will be in the Philippines

                And because Jeff will be in the Dominican Republic  

Dating

And friends

And I can’t wait to get out there!

New Years Resolution 2011

As another year has come and gone, so has my life. Now a new one waits as a new chapter in the Book of Jerrica Dawn Klingler is opened and the pages either begin to fall into place or be torn out entirely. These few years ahead of me are going to be hard but I know that I have the support system behind me to help get me through to the better days to come. Below are a few things that I noticed the old Jerrica needed to work on to make the new Jerrica better. I love you all and hope to see you in the future!

1)      Work on not caring about people as more than just friends.

2)      Stay off facebook as much as possible.

3)      Eat Semi-Healthy.

4)      Get Good Grades.

5)      Sleep… Semi-Normally…

6)      Burn a lot of bras!

7)      Work on being a better friend all around.

8)      GET MARRIED!! (Joke… I hope…)

9)      Become a better listener/peacemaker.

10)   Say Goodbye for Two Years to THREE wonderful young men, without whom my life would not be the same.

                      

Home

Well I’m back in my home town for the Holiday! It is amazing seeing my family again! I have missed them more than I thought I would. My mom and dad and brother are all doing well. I got to see my old high school’s production of Singing in the Rain and I have to say that it is better than I thought it would be. I also got to catch up with my best friend in the whole wide world!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was amazing!!!! He’s not staying around for the brake but I was still over joyed!  He has joined the Army ROCT and has a buzz cut and I haven’t decided whether he looks better or not? Anyway I miss him so but I have a feeling I’m being replaced… oh well it’s not like I’m in love with him anymore! I just don’t think I can lose him at this moment in time!

Finally!!!!

Well I got over my first ever college crush!!!! I fell so good about this!!! It is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!

Is it a GOOD thing I'm GROWING UP?

For about a year and a half I was in “love” with this one boy. He was my best friend and always will be one of the best friends I could ever wish for.  But I’m not sure it was love. At the time, and even a couple weeks ago I truly believe that it could have been, but being here at college has made me grow up. I have been exposed to more boys and have come across one or two that might be even more “made for me” than my high school crush. The college boys seem to connect with me in a different way than High School. I will always love him in his own special way but I won’t be heartbroken if it’s not meant to be. I am willing to get out there and live my life and find a boy meant for me.  Now all I have to do is reel a boy in and get him to stay for a while. The only question is how?

Dedication to New York
