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.

The Scarlet Pimpernel has been going on all week. What a blast. This is my true love. Im kinda sad it's going to be over. Can't wait for next year! After writing a note for Ms. Ludlow, I have really realized how amazing that woman is. I value her as I value my mother. She's amazing. I hope she knows that.

After coming across several blogs of people whom I admire greatly, I've decided I need blogging again. It's such a good release. I hope for this blog, as a reflection of my life, to be positive. To bring joy. To create smiles. To notice the "magical moments" of every day. If nothing else, I want to see the good all around me. If for no one else, for me. Because life is too good to waste. We must relish every second. So, as a resolution to see the light, I am blogging again. And it feels really good.

D&C 25:12 For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads. Listen to music! Bring some joy to your life! Get blessed for it!

This does! Watch it! It's brilliant! David’s Special Announcement That's right folks, good ole' Davy is serving a full-time mission! Doesn't that just make you wanna cry!? (In a good way) David's such a good kid. We're all proud of him!

You hear this quote often. You think, "Wow, yeah, I'm just going to be myself". Have you ever noticed how with your friends you do crazy, silly things that if you were to do with your family you'd be so embarrassed or vice versa? Sometimes I fear rejection. Actually, I do all the time. Why do I rely so much on people to make myself feel good? Sometimes being yourself is easier said than done. Why do we try so hard to impress people? How come it's easier to forget other people's stupid mistakes than it is ours? Why can't we just accept ourselves? Why can't we just forgive ourselves?Why do we always have to wonder if people like us or not? Why can't we just be ourselves?

This week has been so good. It's nice to have a break from not-so-goodness. There was a morning-side on Wednesday. It was the best one I've ever been to. The theme was Proverbs 3: 5-6 and it was about trusting in the Lord. There were two short little speakers, and then we could get and bear our testimonies. The spirit was so strong. It's so encouraging to know the testimonies of my peers. It was awesome. Oh, yeah. And the musical number was awesome! (I was in it *cough*) Toodles!
