About Me

- Carlie
- I am Carlie Gilbert. I just recently graduated from Brigham Young University Hawaii. That's right. I lived in Hawaii, which was a dream and half. Now I'm living in Dallas and teaching Elementary School. I would never call myself a fashionista but I do love thrift store shopping or a good retail sale. So this blog is a glace at some of the outfits I have put together. Enjoy!

Forever young?
I've re-written this about 5 times now, so I'm just going to come out and say it. I'm seriously thinking about serving a mission. I'll turn 21 a month before I graduate from BYUH. I'd never even thought about serving one, until I came here. There is something about this place. The spirit is so strong everywhere. The temple is always in sight. I knew the second I got accepted here I knew that there was a reason for it. I keep trying to identify the one reason, but now I'm realizing that there have already been a multiplicity of reasons. My life has been touched, and I've touched others lives. I don't know for sure that I'll go on a mission because a lot can happen in 2 years but its definitely something I'm thinking and praying about. I went to mission-prep today, partly because I hate going to sunday school, and partly because I really do want to serve a mission, and it was fantastic. There is a girl in my unit who just turned 19 and she is engaged to be married in the spring. Marriage just seems so far away. Maybe I'll be eating these words before I know it, but really I just don't know that I'm ready for all that so young. I'm not in any hurry to grow up, get married, and have babies. I want all of those things and more, just not yet. I'm already growing up much to fast for my liking. Some people talk about being young forever, thats awfully dramatic, I just don't want to settle down anytime soon. I'd like to get a good education, serve a mission, and travel the world first.
