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.

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?
