Introducing Liv

Who am I?

Hi bloggers, I just want to start off my first post by introducing myself and telling you all a little about my life. My name is Olivia Mortensen, but I prefer to go by Liv. Much more simple, and cute i think. Olivia is just too official for me, maybe one day I'll be sophisticated enough to be "olivia" but for now it's just liv. I have just recently graduated from Snow Canyon High School. I had the greatest high school experience anyone could ever ask for! I got to do what i loved most, and dance. I was the Eshelle (drill/dance) team President for two years and I'll never forget those moments, bonds, and memories. I love SC with all my heart, and it will always be a part of what has shaped me into the person i am, because i went to school with some very inspirational and amazing people. I am getting ready to start college this fall at Dixie State University. I'm not necessarily excited but I am ready for a new chapter in this life. Being graduated is such a weird feeling because it just seems like another summer, but this fall we all go our separate ways, and grow up. I'm a very simple girl who just dreams of making her life happen on her own. I can't wait until i can be fully self sufficient. I love to love people, and I'm super low key. I am blessed with the greatest role models, and loved ones in my life and I'm sure you'll see me blog about them all the time. But here I am....

You know you really are growing up when your best friend in the whole world moves away to start her life. There aren't enough words to describe how much i love Jasmine Dorius. She is seriously so beautiful, bold, strong, courageous, cunning, and most of all loyal. There has never been a way for us to be apart. Jas and i were super close when we were young but when we started high school we drifted our separate ways. But God has a way of bringing those you need in your life, right on back. Jasmine and i were reunited this past September and have been inseparable ever since. Jasmine has done some amazing things for me, i fell into a pretty bad state of depression and instead of letting me lay in bed all day, Jasmine made sure she took me out ALWAYS, no matter. She gave me my confidence back, and since then I have never felt better about myself. I can't even put into words how i feel about Jasmine. She is literally my other half, i have never felt more complete in my life then when i am with her. I didn't know it was possible to fall in love with a friend, but i really have. I would do anything for that girl, her laugh and smile, those are the things i live for. I am so proud of her for packing up and moving completely on her own to start her career and i know she is going to do some amazing things. That takes a lot of courage and independence and that is what i admire most about her. I can't wait until you come home best friend, so we can be together again. My partner in crime. I love you Jas.

Not only am I blessed enough to have such an amazing best friend, I am lucky enough to have a sister too. Obviously, it's not a blood sister but a sister non the less. Alexa Evans. Lexi. Haha I can only laugh at the first thought that comes into my head about Lexi. She's seriously such a klutz and i love it! She's always a good laugh because she's up for adventure and a good time but she'll either trip and fall on her face, or get nauseous to the point of vomiting because of her sensitivity to smells. Her laugh is seriously the cutest thing because she has such a child like joy about her. It's so genuine. Lexi has decided to serve an LDS mission and i couldn't be prouder of the sacrifice she is making to go and share her testimony and the gospel with people. I know she will do some amazing things. Lexi has so much strength, and i respect her so much for that. She has gone through so many hard times and tribulations but she always comes out on top. She is seriously so beautiful inside and out. Although we fight sometimes, i know it's because we only have each others best interest at heart. We fight like sisters and love even harder. Her and her family are seriously a second home to me. I am forever grateful for how much they have done for me, and how close i have gotten to them. Lexi is seriously beautiful inside and out, I love you so much bebe. And I am so proud of you!

Thanks everyone for reading my first of many blog posts to come! I'm so excited to start blogging and sharing my life, I hope you guys enjoy it!
