Life Lessons
I haven't written in a while and life has just gotten a little crazy. I've been feeling a little down lately seeing everyone around me have new things happen in their lives while I feel like I'm sitting in the same place I started. But there are somethings I've discovered in this little pity party I've been having.
1. When it comes to dating, nobody knows what they're doing and yet people break other's hearts everyday. It's a part of life and that's when you pick up the pieces and find a way to move on.
2. The grass always looks greener on the other side but then you get to the other side and it's really not greener. Life is never easy and it's not supposed to be. It's through the challenges that we grow stronger.
3. My plan never seems to be the way that my life actually goes. God has a plan for me and as I accept and put my trust in that, life seems to become a little easier to bear. The trials don't go away but they begin to lighten.
4. Sometimes a night alone is what is needed to rejuvenate and clear your head. That is a great time to think things through and try to look at life through a new persepective. And making delicious cookies doesn't hurt either...
5. God has given us friends to help us through the hard times. Everyone is in your life for a reason. Whether they stay forever or not doesn't matter. For the time they were in your life, they made an impact.

It Melts My Heart
I thought I was strong and wasn't going to let you do that to me again.
But when you opened your mouth and played, my heart melted again.
Back to square one it is.

My Life
Rushing and racing
and running in circles
Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere
My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic
Pace of the world
I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
falling apart
Save me
Somebody take my hand, and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
'Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flys by
I need you to slow me down
Sometimes I fear that I might dissapear
In the blur of fast forward I faulter again
Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep
getting nowhere
All that I've missed I see in the reflection
Passed me while I wasn't paying attention
Tired of rushing, racing and running
falling apart
Tell me
Oh won't you take my hand and lead me
Slow me down
Don't let love pass me by
Just show me how
'Cause I'm ready to fall
Slow me down
Don't let me live a lie
Before my life flys by
I need you to slow me down
Just show me
slow me down,slow me down
The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe, somebody please
Slow me down
and running in circles
Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere
My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic
Pace of the world
I just wish I could stop it

slow me down,slow me down

Just need to breathe, somebody please
Slow me down

Life is Good
It's finally summer which means no school and lots and lots of playtime.
Playing night games with friends like I did in the good 'ole days.
My new summer painting job is so great except the working at 6 am part so it's good we all find ways to laugh to make the time go by faster!
Meeting random boys while working. Makes the job much more exciting!
Getting of early enough to be able to still soak up some rays at the pool!
Otter pops. Makes summer that much better.
People randomly texting you to invite you to do things. I wish I was able to do everything!
Seeing old friends that I haven't seen in a long time! Love them all!
Randomly seeing my cousin at my friends reception. Love you A!
Memorizing the tv schedule and knowing exactly when my shows are on!
Being in a small ward and getting to know everyone! So many new friends!
Getting letters from K and M. I miss them so much!
Being so active that I have constant bruises covering my legs. I promise I'm not hurting myself!
Having time to just sit and talk to friends.
Reading 10 pages a day of the Book of Mormon with my ward to finish in 6 weeks. Testimony is definitely strengthened!

Top 10
Top 10 Things of my Life (right now)
10. My hair is getting longer. I know I've said this over and over on this blog that I want long hair again but I'm pleased to announce that it's almost getting there!
9. I have a full time job for summer! It's going to be rough because it's at 6 am but it's a job!
8. I only have a year left of my undergraduate degree! Wahoo! I say I'm so excited but actually I'm terrified out of my mind to think I have to be a real adult soon.
7. Summer is here! I love summer more than anything and I'm staying down in Provo so it's going to be a BLAST!
6. K is coming home so so so soon! I can't wait!
5. D is leaving on a mission. I don't know if this should necessarily make the list but it's kind of a big thing for him and our family. I'm going to miss that guy more than anything!
4. L and her girls are here and I love when they come to visit! They are so fun!
3. I bought an Ipod touch as my end of semester gift to myself. Do I need it? Not really. Am I going to keep it? I still can't decide.
2. Awful Waffle. Sounds awful but it's actually delicious. Thanks A, J, and D for introducing me to it!
1. SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER! Winter semester is over and I couldn't be more happy to be able to waste time doing nothing and not have one ounce of guilt for it.
