Josh Groban is amazing, and so is his song "When You Say You Love Me"!

my arms get cold in february air
so it isn't february, and for once in Utah it isn't that cold outside, but I just had to post something about my awesome monday this week!!
We went to an Owl City concert, and Paper Route and Lights opened for them. The sad thing is that I actually enjoyed Lights more than I did Owl City, but it was still a great concert! I havent been able to stop listening to Lights though! She is so stinking good live and even though her music is so different, it has a really cool sound too it and I just cant get enough!
So despite the fact that I felt like I was fighting for my life the entire time because people were so pushy and we were right in the front, that day was the best day of my life so far! Why??? well because there was a certain someone that was at the concert! The one and only David Archuleta. Of course we all left our cameras in the car, so the one chance that I will probably ever get to see him we couldnt get any evidence, but that image won't ever leave my memory. I was down in the crowd, somewhat miserable, HOT, getting trampled on, but then I would look up and see him smiling and dancing to the music and I just couldn't stop smiling! I still can't stop smiling! It was just a great feeling!
It was just a great night!!!!!!! AMAZING night!

Ch-ch-ch-changes!
Wow! I really have no idea where to begin? So much seems to have happened since coming back to Utah after christmas break!
Thrown right back into everything! School, searching for a job, school, finding time to talk to friends back home, having a social life, and well school!
I really dont even know what happened between christmas break and now my plans for summer and fall! It seriously just all seemed to happen at once and now plans are set and getting put in action.
My plan, after lots of pros and cons list, praying, fasting, contemplating with myself and others, I have decided that the best thing for me is to go home and work in the summer, and go to school in florida in the fall. I was scared at first. I had so many options, and I just didn't know what to do. I have never been so confused, and have never had to make a decision as hard as this. My decision to come out to Utah seemes so easy and right. I didn't care that I would have to work super hard to try and reach my goal of getting into BYU. I told my self that I would do whatever I could to get in, and after trying so hard it began to feel as if I wasn't getting accepted for a reason. I remember so perfectly the feeling I had when I got the email saying "a decision has been made on your application of enrollment to Brigham Young University". I wasn't nervous, and I wasn't excited, I just had this feeling that I knew what I was going to see when I checked, and sure enough I was right. I saw "Denied" for the 3rd time. It was at that moment I realized I had to change my plan. Going to BYU has always been the one thing I have ever dreamed of doing in my life, but if I have done everything I possibly could then it must not be the place for me. It was hard to accept that, but we need to always follow the promptings of the Lord. We may have a plan for our life, but He knows what we need to do, and where we need to be.
I feel like I have come so close to the Lord through this whole experience! I know that He knows me better than I know myself, and I will always put my trust in him!
If I am needed in Orlando for whatever reason, I will go, and I am looking forward to it SO much! I just know it is going to be an amazing experience and I will be able to learn more about myself and what I am capable of by stepping out of my shell and doing something that really has just fallen in place. Not something that I had to try so hard to make work!
I love life right now and cannot wait to have an amazing summer and what I hope and am sure will be a great an different life.

For Good
I'm limited
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you...
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good...
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you...

There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays!
So I have been home for 4 days and it has already been amazing! So much as been going on and it has been so busy! I love it!
12/18 We got home friday! I literally couldn't stop smiling as the plane came out from above the clouds and I could see the beach! I was so ready to just get off the plane! when we finally did it was the most amazing feeling to see my family again! Everyone is so grown up and it's funny that we are all almost the same height! :D On the way home we stopped by Chili's and ate dinner, which of course was amazing because it was basically the first real meal I have had in a very long time! Me and Chelsea went to the boys basketball game when we got home and I got to see kaity, ragan, ashley, alex, mallory, corinne, kirsten, bess and a bunch of people there! It was a lot of fun! Pretty much a great way to start off my christmas vacation!
12/19 The alumni game was saturday and boy was that an interesting experience! Not even half way into it I was starting to feel SO stinkin sore! It is funny how even though I have been going to the gym, I feel SO out of shape! I should have known it would be difficult! I mean in soccer you use so many different muscles it's insane! Muscles you didn't think it was possible to use! Those muscles are killing me right now, but I guess it is a good hurt! After the alumni game me and chelsea went to Pier Park for a little whil and then at 6 maggie came over, blind folded me and took me to red robin for a christmas present! Since I love red robin it was basically amazing! When we were finished there I went to Kaity's house! We basically just sat on her dock for about 4 hours and talked for forever! It was really nice though! Very relaxing and just shows how good of friends me and kaity have become! I mean we sat in the cold for 4 hours and talked non-stop! I love nights like that! When you can just sit with someone and talk! It's a great feeling to know that someone cares about every little thing that goes on in your life!
12/20 Emilee's baptism was sunday and it was so exciting! She has been waiting for it for so long it feels like and you could just tell she was excited! Im so glad that we could be here for it! After her baptism we went to Kaitlyn's 16th Birthday party! That was also so much fun! I think it is stuff like that, where a bunch of my friends are together at once and we just hang out and talk and have fun is what I miss most! I'm also glad that I was able to be here for her birthday party since for a while I didn't think I would be!
12/21 Yesterday I went to soccer practice with Chelsea! It is weird how much differnt it is from the last 4 years! It definately worked me hard though! Luckily the soreness went away for a while and it was awesome to finally bring back MEXICO! Playing world up reminded me of those good old soccer days! and it made me realize how much I really miss ragan! After soccer practice we hurried and got ready to go to Emilee's birthday party! She had her party at Pump It Up! and even thought a ton of little kids were there it was a lot of fun! Probabaly because all of the adorable kids from church were there! after her party me, jessie and chelsea went to Tropical Smoothie! YUMMMM! It was amazing as always! Literally right after I got home I left to go help Tori babysit the Fish's! It was definatly a fun experience! he Rileys were over too, and so that made a total of 5 kids running around everywhere! Althought it was pretty hectic at times, being able to hang out with Tori in the process was a lot of fun! And it kinda wore me out because by the end of the night I was dead tired!
12/22 Today was another early morning for soccer practice! But it was fun waking up and having cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate for breakfast! Maybe not the best thing to eat before soccer but I didn't care! We did more drills at soccer that will more than likely make me sore tomorrow, but it just shows me how much I need to keep up with all the soccer drills we do! No matter how hard they may be for me to do them by myself! After soccer I hurried and got ready and then headed over to Tori's to bake cookies! It was a lot of fun and I'm glad it gave me a chance to hang out with kaity again and rachel! I went to publix on the way home to get some stuff to make cookies for people, so im pretty excited about that! I was just informed that Corinne is on her way over, and that just made me even more happy than I already am right now! I love friends! Soon we are suppose to be leaving to do our traditional family Secret Santa thing. I guess it isn't really secret santa, we just pull names out of a hat and get presents for that person! It is fun, and I love doing it! Hopefully someone can come over tonight and can help me make cookies!
I basically just love being home! It is the most happy I have been in a long time! more fun florida adventures to come!

Baby It's Cold Outside
So the cold weather has finally arrived in Utah! I was beginning to think it might never come, but boy was I wrong! Pretty much all week the highs have been in the high teens and the lows have been in the single digits! It is definately different from Florida weather but I'm getting use to it!
I really like the snow! It may be cold and wet, but it makes everything look SO stinkin pretty! and it makes it feel a lot more like the christmas season!!
Christmas season is a magical time of year! It is my favorite!!! and lately I have thought a lot about service! Yes, this time of year usually brings out the giving side of people and I just love it! It makes everyone happy, especially me!
I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
I also love the fact that in one week I will be back in Florida! Back home!!!!! I cannot wait to be home with my family and be able to hang out with friends and just be worry free from school and worrying about money and just everything!! It will be most fabulous christmas ever!
