Oh my goodness. . .First off I am so very excited to be writing my very first blog entry. So for starters i just wanted to explain what I am all about. The title has some unique meanings to it, which I am sure I will write about in time but, first and foremost it is because I am currently sitting in my new bedroom in Sandy Hook Connecticut with not a soul around that I have ever met before in my life. I took a summer job to become a full time nanny for an adorable family this summer because I was up for an adventure. In the mean time I had to pack up and leave my family and friends for 3 months to move 2000 miles away from everyone and everything that I have known for the last 19 years of my life. So "eye'll" be seein everyone real soon. This summer is going to fly by just like everything else. I just finished my freshman year at Brigham Young University which felt like it never even started. Time seems to just get faster and faster. Anyways I am sorry if my blog gets boring at times but, I just wanted to give everyone a little taste of the east coast.
Another reason why I used "eye" instead of "I" is because I am obsessed with eyes. Two years ago when I visited Greece with my family I noticed there was eyes everywhere. Literally, they are cemented into the ground, hanging over doorways. People sport them as jewelry on their ears, necks, wrists and fingers and everywhere else you can imagine. So of course I fell in love and wanted one right away. So I went into a nice jewelry store and bought a little eye (way over priced) but I got one anyways and BOOM, have not taken it off since. In Greece they believe it wards off evil and bad spirits. However, during a conversation I had with Sister Elaine S. Dalton she talked to me about her travels to Greece and how she t0o fell in love with "the evil eye" while she was there and bought some jewelry to sport her new found infatuation. She shared something with me though that I have not since forgotten. She told me how she did not believe any of the different legends about it but she thought that they all may have origins of truth. She told me that the eye may have originally been a reminder that our Heavenly Father is watching out for us. I loved hearing about her theories and her thoughts about this and many other things. She is the sweetest lady in the world and she is my romodel. One day if I could become half the lady she is I will be the happiest woman on earth.
Anyways, I'm sorry I just went off there. I hope you enjoy my blog, and if you don't, THEN DON'T READ IT! haha just kidding read it so I don't answer the same questions over and over again. I love and miss all my friends and family!
Eye like what Elaine Dalton said, so true.
