Thankful

"Thankful"
Somedays we forget
To look around us
Somedays we can't see
The joy that surrounds us
So caught up inside ourselves
We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be.
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see.
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves
There's so much sorrow
It's way too late to say
I'll cry tomorrow
Each of us must find our truth
It's so long overdue

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And every day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though we all can still do more
There's so much to be thankful for.

Even with our differences
There is a place we're all connected
Each of us can find each other's light

So for tonight we pray for
What we know can be
And on this day we hope for
What we still can't see
It's up to us to be the change
And even though this world needs so much more


There's so much to be thankful for

I am hoping to bring this blog back to life

I've been a terrible person, and neglected my blog. Here I am, halfway through the summer semester, home from a trip to Europe, and no one seems to know. Basically...my life is on constant GO. I go to class, I go to work, I go to class again, I go to ward activities and fhe, I do homework, and then somewhere along the line I try to sleep. I'm feeling better than I ever have though. I had an awesome experience in Europe, and I felt my confidence grow significantly. I am now a Gospel Doctrine teacher, and for the first time in my life, I'm not nervous to teach my peers. I feel like I can sing more confidently in front of people. I can make time for everything, even when it feels like I really can't. I for once have a great roommate that I can work happily with. cleaning the apartment and making dinners together, and the occasional movie. I am ready to accept my social situation. whether or not boys pay attention to me or not. I am ready to put my heart and soul into the marching band season, and cheer the BYU cougars to an undefeated football season :) I can take control of my life, and be happy about it, and confident in the person I am. I have a good life..I am blessed beyond belief. I have an amazing family that supports me in everything I do, and knows that I am doing the best I can. I have things I can work on, just like everyone else, like a coherent thought every once in a while, unlike this random spewing of thoughts, or my art skills, which need to be drastically improved. I'm still working on smiling more and being social, happily. I need to accept who I am, and trust in God's plan for me.

Life is what I make it...and I am happy.

I'm so excited!!!!

Europe is getting closer and closer! My class ended, and my one easy final is also over. We got all of our travel gear, and I am so ready to go. Who needs finals anyway..haha.

In other news.....not much going on. Been on a couple of dates lately, nothing too exciting. I set up one of my friends on a date with another friend completely on accident...long story, but funny.

Sad that I'll be changing lives soon. I'll move out, my roommate is graduating, my brother is graduating, and I'm off to Europe. But I am ready for change..in fact, I'm excited about it. This semester has really opened my eyes in a lot of ways. I learned a lot about myself. So I say BRING IT ON!!!!

Soon to become..

Travelings of a College Girl!!!!!

Yesiree, exactly one month from today, I will be in EUROPE!!! This will be the place to check for updates and pictures of what I am doing. I'm not sure how often I will be able to post, but I will certainly try.

Countdown....30 Days!

I LOVE this speech...best movie speech ever

Good morning.In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.
And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
"We will not go quietly into the night!
We will not vanish without a fight!
We're going to live on!
We're going to survive!"
Today,we celebrate our Independence Day!

What do you know? I'm Twenty Years Old

Yup. Most definitely not a teenager anymore. But I'm okay with that. Each year brings new adventures to our lives. This year especially it seems. I can't wait to study abroad in Europe. I went to my first meeting where I found out that I will only be allowed one suitcase with no carry on that weighs less than 45 pounds. Yikes. That's not a lot of space, especially if I want to buy souvenirs along the way. But I'll manage...somehow. I put my application in for the Elementary Ed program, and I'll find out at the end of February if I got in or not. That would be a new start. I'm feeling really good about my life. I have a great group of friends, and I don't have to worry about psycho roommates. I am living up to my New Years Resolution of making it to every one of my classes on time. That's something that I've never done before. It feels good, like I have a new life. So, to sum things up, I'm pretty happy, not a teenager anymore, and excited for what life has to offer me in the coming year. :)
