sorry... :(

Well,

Country Swing Dancing is awesome. I. love. it. So much! We went last night and I got asked to dance like every dance!! haha! It's been a while since that happened cause normally there's only like 2 guys there that aren't already with dates, but there were tons of people there last night!

My car was broken yesterday. It wouldn't start! So my dad took me to school yesterday and I was 15 minutes late to my math class, so I didn't understand anything they were doing... yikes. I'll read about it in the book and hopefully I'll understand it. This is also why we have TA's! But don't worry- my dad got my car to start and brought it to school for me and I was seriously smiling so big when I saw it! I'm really attached to my big beast! It's really a softie at heart... hahahahahaha!! ;)

I just like big things. Big houses (even though my future house won't be too big... just really nice. haha!), big cars, big dogs, big families, big guys... haha! K not necessarily BIG guys, but tall guys... haha, oh man!

Sometimes in life, we just need to count our blessings. :)

"I'm a Creeper, Mom!!!!!"

Well...

we'll see how this goes.

"Hello!" :)

K time out: My title for this post reminds me of this line. Name this movie!

"Better a silly girl with a flower, than a silly boy with a horse and a stick."
"It's called a lance. HELLO!!!"

So a lot of times when I have troubles focusing, I end up teaching myself how to play a new song on the piano or my ukulele. Here's what I've taught myself so far:

• Piano: Don't Stop Believin' (Journey)
• Piano: Listen To Your Heart (DHT)
• Piano: Apologize (One Republic)
• Ukie: I'm Yours (Jason Mraz)

Not the whole song, but like the intro or chorus or whatever strikes my fancy. Except for I'm Yours... that's pretty much the same throughout the whole song. Now I just need to learn the words so I can sing them in order! haha! ;)

chiHOO!!!

It's gonna be a good year. ...I can feel it. :)

Something that I wanted to share. :)

"Change is constant. We are continuously changing throughout our lives. I am changing. Something inside me is changing.

"When I was little, my testimony was pure and strong. There was not a force powerful enough to convince me that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was not true. You could Not tell me that the scriptures were wrong. I knew. And that was it. I had such a love for the gospel. I had such a love for life and those around me. I was fearless. But change is constant.

"Somehow, I lost that surety. I lost that confidence – all confidence. I became dependent on unstable things. I never really lost my testimony, but I think it was weakened. It's like it wasn't as important to me anymore. I think I put it on the back-burner. And let me tell ya- LIFE. WAS. HARD. And I didn't know how to deal with it. Everywhere I thought to turn seemed to bring relief for a little bit, only to open doors to new troubles. (I think back to this time now and I think that there must have been times when I did turn to the gospel in at least some form or another, or else I probably would have been pretty lost at this time in my life.) But I don't feel like I really solved anything or truly learned the lessons I should have.

"Then, I don't know exactly when it was (but I know that Seminary, YW's, and my sister were involved), I remembered my Savior. I brought my testimony (dusty as it was) back off that back-burner, and with the Savior's help, I started strengthening it. I tried to better recognize the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I started doing the things that I knew would bring me closer to God. It's not like I was getting into any trouble before, but I wasn't making the effort to really know what I knew before. Today, I remembered my testimony. I fully remembered it. I know now the absolute truthfulness of the gospel. It's undeniable. It's just what I knew when I was little – I can feel it. And I know that it's going to get better from here."
