miss maylee

once i was at work. i had been there quite some time and the day was dragging on. while i was sitting and complaining to myself, i little child walks in holding her fathers hand. after i said a quick hello she informed me she was three years old, it was snowing outside and her name was maylee. i was instantly drawn to her. as she walked into a professors office i noticed that the dad was trying to have a serious talk. before too long, maylee was at my desk coloring with me. we talked about share bears, primary, nursery, she baby hope, rainbows, etc. maylee and i became best friends. before too long we were having my lunch. randomly, while eating a chip she just looked up to me with her amazing blue eyes and wide smile and said lexi, i love you.your'e my best friend. she ran over and gave me a hug and kissed me on the cheek :) little miss maylee was exactly what i needed in my life right then. isn't it amazing what one little girl can do for you. now im sure that she has already forgotten about her little adventure today at byu, but that little smile and kind words, changed my mind set for the day. its the little, small, and simple things that count.
ps. love the name maylee. thats definitely going on my name list!

first semester... check

i am officially complete with my first semester of college! okay well not finals, but no more going to class for me for another month. say a little prayer for me this week. finals are hopefully not going to kick my butt. this last semester has seriously flown by. it feels like just yesterday was the first day of school and i was walking into my first college class. favorite class would probably have to be.... Writing and Rhetoric 150.least favorite class..... strengthening marriage and family proclamation to the world. would have been a decent class if i had a decent teach, but i did not. it is just dandy though. i am looking forward to this upcoming semester though. mission prep, human development, biology, geology, book of mormon, and american heritage will keep me quite busy. other than that


chirstmas is here bringing good cheer.... 13 more days until Christmas. love it.

say a little prayer for you

guess who took a sunday challenge this week? me. in sunday we had this grand lesson on humbling ourselves and being grateful for the stuff we have, and yeah. anywho our teacher gave us a challenge and i thought to myself.. why not? want to know what this challenge was?
while we said our personal prayers we were only aloud to say thanks. we weren't supposed to ask Heavenly Father for anything. so this challenge has blessed my life in so many ways. i have been more happier, more willing to serve, more humble, more loving.... the list goes on and on. i am a much more pleasant person to be around now than i was a few weeks ago.
crazy how just one thing can changes ones life so much right? my testimony of prayer has been strengthened this week. we are so lucky to be able to talk to Heavenly Father and Jesus. think about it. many people, including myself, take it for granted how blessed we really are.
so if you want a cool experience, i am passing on the challenge. just say a prayer of gratitude for one week. it will change your life for the better :)

21 more days until christmas! yahoo.

i am back.

hello blogging world, before i start talking about my life as of now i want you all to stop and clap your hands for moi. i alexis no middle name mccleary just finished her first ten page research paper. yes you read that right, ten pages. ten pages may not seem like a lot for you but guess what? it is for me. i probably could not feel much better than i do now. i worked quite hard on this paper and feel like i have succeeded something quite well. hooray for feeling accomplished!

anywho.. here is how my break of thanksgiving went: my fellow friends from up north and down south were able to travel down to spend time with me. brigham young university shut down for 2 days because of a giant storm that never hit. i worked on that dang issues paper. i got quite ill thanksgiving night that prevented me from going black friday shopping with my sissy. :( yeah. thats about everything you need to know about my break.

so i have some good news and bad news. i had a camera. one day after i turned it on i noticed that the screen was all screwed up. with me being very unhappy i called the company and they had me mail in my camera to go get fixed. 90 dollars and ninety five cents later, my camera will be fixed. i will have it for the holidays. that makes me happy.

one more thing rascal flatts new cd is amazing! words can not describe how amazing the song Easy is. ah gives me chills by just typing the title.

peace and blessing. happy holidays. happy finals.

yoooogggggaaaa

most mondays and wednesdays i am blessed to be able to go to yoga. oh how i enjoy yoga. throughout the class i am able to relax, stop thinking, and stretch. my favorite pose we do is childs pose.. i wish i was good at yoga. i am still in basic training. up dog, down dog, warrior 1, warrior 2, dolphin something, are some of the moves i try so very hard to get to. i wish hope and pray that someday i will be a yoga instructor. maybe someday....also i know that this picture isnt the best yoga picture but it kind of works right?

meet my sissy

hello fellow world. this is my sister melissa. i was blessed to be able to have only have one sissy, and i was lucky enough to get the best one. miss is amazing. she is the best mother, most crafty/creative person, gorgeous, has a strong testimony of the gospel, always happy, loving, funny, smart, caring,... honestly the list can go on for quite some time. i am one lucky girl being able to follow her around my whole life. she is one that i can just talk to. she is always there to listen and put in her words of wisdom. she has and still is the perfect role model for me and my brothers. i love you sissy.

34 days

34 days... until i will have finished my first semester at brigham young university!!! couldn't be happier to get a little break. i cannot believe how fast this semester has gone. it has been pretty interesting. definitely different than what i expected. do i love college? not yet. it is slowly growing on me though. hopefully by the time i graduate this university i will enjoy college.

once upon a time my friend left on his mission. ... now he is coming home. 34 more days until i get to see my friend.

my counselor

ever had a parent say they want to get you a counselor? i have. no worries. you see, this blog has now become my counselor. i can express everything any anything i please. does it bother me not having someone to speak back and give me counsel on what to do with my life, no not at all. i enjoy sharing my thoughts with my counselor. by talking to my counselor, i have become a more relaxed person. she is always there to listen to me. thanks counselor.

im sorry if this blog is a little strange. my counselor and i have a close relationship and im willing to share just about anything with her.
peace and blessings

cool.

saturday night. eight o six in the evening, and i am at home alone. not so cool eh? false. this is what i call extremely cool. im quite enjoying myself. after a week full of school and work i needed some quiet time in mi casa. my room will get a much needed face lift, some homework might be accomplished, and baby mamma will be watched. cool right? i cant remember the last time i was happy to stay home on a weekend night, but this might be a new regular. haha as im jotting this down i am thinking to myself that i sound pretty pathetic. i am 18 years old and enjoying sitting at home alone. something is utterly wrong

#10

this post is named number ten for one reason and one reason only; it is my tenth post. pretty ironic right? there is a song by dave matthews ...i think it is titled number 48 but im not positive. i like dave and i wanted to be like dave so yeah.... i named this post after that song. now you know how this title came to be.
well life is just rolling on by and not letting me catch up with it. i try to catch up and sometimes i do, but i then get tired and then it slips away. i cant really decide if i am happy, sad, mad, excited, etc. i feel like a machine with a bunch of random crazy emotions is running through me and im not sure what the outcome will be. maybe ill end up as a crazy lunatic with cats? um... that would be fun for a few minutes. ive never really been a fan of cats at all, but im willing to give it a shot.

hello first failed test

it was nice to meet you today. while walking into the testing center i had a feeling i would come pretty close to meeting you, but i didn't really think today would be the day. it was good to have finally met you though. you brought in the clouds and rain to my sunny day, but hey, we all need some rain every once in a while right? instead of being too upset about meeting you, i am going to shrug my shoulders and move on with life. i am learning to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the storm to pass. rain makes flowers grow so it was necessary that we met. now that i have some flowers and i was able to dance in the rain, i hope to never run into you again.
sincerely
alexis mccleary

my enemy

math is not my friend. we have never been friends, and i am not planning on us ever being friends. i have tried for years to get to know it, but it never seems to work out. math is very complicated. now math 110 should be quite simple right? wrong! it is killing me. literally. i am losing sleep over this enemy of mine. i hope someday i will learn how to handle this matter, until then, i will dislike math.

sorry, this is the end of my complaining.

i....

i belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, i know who i am. i know Gods plan. i'll follow him in faith. i believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ. i'll honor his name. i'll do what is right; i'll follow his light. His truth i will proclaim

these little ones put a smile on my face

ipod thief

story time:
i was at the gym one night. i listened to michael jackson and then went and got a drink. once i was finished my swallow of water, i noticed a dear friend from high school. we talked. i had my i pod in hand. then, rachel darling came. we decided that we would put our stuff(i pods, keys, phone, etc) in a cubby. after working out we decided to go get our stuff. i was shocked when i realized that my i pod was not in the cubby. that is correct. someone stole my i pod. not okay. we searched but had no luck. :( i dont think stealing is the right thing to do. i would have let someone borrow it. why did they have to take it away from me. most people will probably think, what is the big deal, its only an i pod. false. that i pod has been my life savor at college. it talks to me when walking from class to class. it comforts me when eating lunch alone in the wilkinson center of higher learning. now, it is gone. i hope they find joy in listening to my music. it was not that bad i guess. life will go on and pretty soon i will forget about my i pod being stolen, but now i mourn. ill only stay upset for a little longer because life goes on. i hope they are using the i pod wisely and it was for a good cause. good bye i pod. i will miss you dearly.
told by the i pod owner.

college.

oh college. i never really wanted you in my life. you always seemed not really my style. you scared me. when i realized that we would have to meet someday, i cringed. college, when i first met you, i was nervous that we would not get along very well. the testing center showed me no mercy the first time i met it. i tried to be nice, but it just shut me down. you are just too big. too many students, too many buildings with too many names. it is okay now though. i think i am actually starting to like you. i am going to have a different mind set about you my dear friend. its me and you. for the next 4 years of my adulthood. lets become best friends :)

:)

Am I willing to accept ALL the truth of the gospel of just part of it? Do i strive to keep all the commandments or just the more convenient ones? Do i want all the blessings available, or just part of them?

Elder Bruce R. Mconkie, "We are either for the church or we are against it. We either take its part r we can take the consequences. We cannot survive spiritually with one foot in the church and the other in the world. We must take the choice, it is either the Church or the world. There is no middle ground. And the Lord loves a courageous man who fights openly and boldly in his army."
