You know that feeling where you have butterflies in your stomach and you're kinda bummed it's only the first day of spring break? Yeah, I'm feeling it. Ah, highschool.

2015 is already proving to be a very different year. 2014 was exciting and full of lots of surprises - performing as the witch in Into the Woods, graduating from high school, getting a niece, having my last voice recital, going to my first semester of college, watching my friends put in their mission papers and open their calls, taking my first real life college finals, moving away from home, and living with my best friends. One thing that made all this change bearable- was having all of my friends and family near me. 2015 is different. I have all of my best friends leaving within the next two months. I'm currently starting my second semester with roommates that I don't know and standards that aren't quite up to par. This year will be the year that I get out of my comfort zone and really learn a lot about myself. Perhaps my difficult roommates will prove to be a missionary experience. Maybe I'll learn to be bold while still being kind. Perhaps I will have to branch ou...

Just Listen

Lately I've been thinking a lot about the world we live in. It's so noisy, with all the unimportant things we claim are necessary. Some of these things, whether they be Facebook, making money, or just sleeping are good- if done with moderation. Isn't that true with most things? We spend so much time with these inessential things, that we don't have time for the things that really matter. Sometimes I get so caught up with these things that I don't have to time to progress. I kinda stay in the same place, same time, and I justify it with-"oh, I'm just too busy." and then I justify further and say, "well, I'm doing my best. I'm a good person!" when really, all it takes is a few short minutes to JUST LISTEN. Allow for the spirit to speak to me so that I continue to move forward, and become better everyday. So as my goal for the month of July, I am going to find time to just listen, so that I can live up to my potential.

Angel Lullaby

Today brought back one of my favorite memories. Growing up, my mom always sang. She has a beautiful voice. One of my favorite things when I was little was when my mom would sing to me as I was falling asleep. She sang this song that I had to look up the title for, because I always referred to it as "The Angel Song". Though the proper title is "Angel Lullaby", I think my made-up title wasn't too far off from how I feel about my mom. I wish I could upload a link of my memory, but since that technology hasn't been invented yet, here's the lyrics: "You came from a land where all is light to a world half day and a world half night. To guide you by day, you have my love, To guard you by night, your friends above. So sleep, sleep, till the darkness ends, guarded by your angel friends. So sleep, sleep, till the darkness ends, guarded by your angel friends. There's one stands softly by your bed and another sits close with a hand on your head...
