Technology....

Why is it always when you have a huge paper due that your computer won't stay on for more than 20 minutes?
What did we do before technology? Bother, have I said it before? I am ready for Christmas break!
One thing that made this wonderful morning better.....Sweet Home Alabama :)
I'm using a clip from it for my paper and decided what better way to get the creative juices going than to watch my favorite movie. It really never gets old....Have a good Wednesday everyone!

"The truth is, I gave my heart away a long time ago, and I never really got it back"

Tonight I Want to Cry.....

Tears....
Some are happy, some are sad
Some come unexpected, some have been bottled up for a long time
Being related to my Father I have very active tear ducts.
Sometimes this is a blessing, sometimes this is a curse.
This week, for some unknown reason, there have been more tears than normal.
The best tears this week came from my very most favorite Christmas tradition, The Forgotten Carols.
And the not so great tears well maybe I've just been overdue for a good cry.
As silly as it sounds, there is something very theraputic about tears, both kind!
So tonight, regardless of where they come from I am thankful for tears.

Love....

How to be brave....

Stressed....
I'm ready for the semester to be done. I'm ready to celebrate Christmas and enjoy this the most wonderful time of the year. Please come quickly!
In the mean time, loving this song....

Family, Food, and Football...

Happy Thanksgiving All!

I hope the second best holiday of the year has been great for you!

This is what I am thankful for this year....

Forever could see us, not you and me...

This is where I want to be right now, not a care in the world. A good book to read and I would be  perfectly content.

Sadly, that is not a realistic possibility.

However, there is another place that fills me with peace and joy.......the library! (or a bookstore for that matter)

This week I accomplished the first from off of my list...I got a library card (I know, I know I'm 5 years old. I've accepted that fact) I walked into this huge beautiful building and never wanted to leave. Since I can't go to the beach on a regular basis I suppose this will do :)
If you need me I'll be reading......

Listen....it's worth it!

Don't you notice life goes on....

Last month my amazing coworker decided to make a list of 21 things to do before she turned 21 (which was November 1) This inspired me and I decided to make one of my own. (Luckily I have more time than she did, hopefully I can do it all in 7 months) Of course, I will keep you all updated on my progress because there is some pretty awesome stuff on this list :) It took me a long time to compile this list, it's harder than you would think! Some things are silly and some have always been a dream of mine. So, without further adieu....

21 Things to do before I turn 21
1. Go on a hot air balloon ride
2. Milk a cow
3. Go backpacking (to Ostler lake with the family!)
4. Picnic on a beach
5. Save at least $500
6. Visit/do baptisms at all the LDS Temples in Utah
7. Go to a drive in movie
8. Run a 5k for a charity
9. Learn how to do a back flip on the tramp
10. Go on a road trip
11. Stay up all night and watch the sunrise
12. Go to Disneyland
13. Visit a Zoo
14. Go camping with friends
15. Make a sidewalk chalk work of art
16. Attempt to learn a different language
17. Read as many travel books as possible (specifically for the top 5 countries I want to visit)
18. Look at the constellations through a telescope
19. Get a Provo Library Card
20. Get my Concealed Weapons Permit (won't actually happen until I am 21)
21. At least one service project a month


What do you think? Pretty good list right? I am so excited to get started! I'm ready to make the best of the rest of my 20th year :)

Don't worry I wouldn't post without my latest song obsession :)
