Music Please!

Just some songs I'm in love with at the moment! Also, if there is a guy out there that can sing and play guitar and wants to do that for me, I would be ever so happy...because a few of these I would LOVE to do!

Mumble.

   I have a new goal. I want to fully prepare myself for Sunday. This means getting all my homework and studying done before Sunday, waking up a few hours earlier, studying talks and preach my gospel, and reflecting and pondering among other things. I think I've neglected that spiritual aspect of Sunday and really taking advantage of the mornings since church starts at 1:30 now. Today I started it and I noticed a huge difference in the way I felt the spirit and received the lessons.
   And now onto other things: How about the fact that I love my friends? Seriously, I have the best friends ever. They are such examples of friendship and through their testimonies. AAAANNNDDDD they make me laugh. And yeah I love them:) I've been feeling super grateful for them lately.
    Okay also, whoever has the new anberlin CD can make me a copy. Please and Thank You.
    Also I went on a hike yesterday to Hanging Rock. It. Was. Gorgeous. I know I'll be super sad when I live somewhere else and the fall isn't like it is here I will be glad I had the 952000 pictures I took of the leaves and hike with me. Seriously. I can't get enough of the beautiful world we have. And this gorgeous weather.
     Another Thing Is that I miss my siblings. I love them so much and would love to have us all live closer and be able to hang out and such! But phone calls will have to do for now!
    So that's it. I'm not in a typing mood but I had stuff to get out...like the first two paragraphs. And I can't get the words right so this will have to do:)

Hazy

    Really things are very clear to me right now. Actually, that's a lie. Nothing is clear to me. Right now the plan is to stay here and finish school. I think I might actually like that plan. But as far as the rest of life, it's pretty Hazy. Two songs that I love that just came on Pandora and are basically what I am feeling lately: Gravity-Sara Bareilles and Hazy-Rosi Golan. Look em up cause they are wonderful! So basically yeah.
     This is a super random post for the week but I guess here it is! So basically this week I got super homesick. Not for places but for people. My best friends are all scattered and I was just stuck. But it's okay because I realized I have some pretty awesome people here:) I've been trying to look into some summer jobs that pay well cause I am buh-roke. So that would be nice!
     This weekend is fall break and I am staying at home-aka I cleaned. Pretty fun! Well last night was girls night and it was super and today was church and that's pretty awesome always.
     Sometimes I wonder if I lived when Joseph Smith did if I would have joined the church. I'm glad I have ancestors who did. 
     I wish I was a mind reader. Because some people you just can't figure out. Never. Some people you catch on to and some people it's instant. Me? For the most part I'm an open book. A lot of people have told me my face says it all. But I do have some stuff I try to keep not posted on my face. Other people you just want to know what they are thinking or what their plans are or their next step. That's why. But I never want to be a mind reader when I do something embarrassing. Because that would not be fun.
      Anyways, I'm kind of bland tonight. Sorry! I'll leave you with a picture of a kitty named Gimpy.

Life Is Amazing

    Sometimes you just have to remember how amazing life is and how amazing the Lord is. I feel so extremely blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I always have peace and happiness in my life if I am following Christ and have faith in the Lord that everything will be okay. Twice a year we have something called General Conference where apostles and the prophet of our church speak to us and give us divine revelation and just general advice. Two major things about this conference. The first is that, even though I have yet to watch the first two sessions from Saturday, I found out that they lowered the mission age. Young Men age 19 can go out and serve missions for our church for two years. The age for Young Women was 21. Yesterday they officially lowered the age to 18 for men and 19 for women. This opened up the opportunity to serve a mission now. I don't know if it is the right thing for me, but I am so excited to see some of my closest friends serving missions so soon! And I can't wait to read the talks tomorrow on www.lds.org (that's right, look it up tomorrow if you want to read and see what amazing things the Lord is telling us this time!)
     The second thing about this conference was what I needed to hear. I need to rely on the Lord's timing and have more faith in the fact that He knows everything. He has a plan and a mission for me. I need to trust and not rush into anything and not rush my life. Life is meant to be enjoyed one experience at a time. Everything will fall into place as it is needed. I just need to remember that He always has a plan for me that is so much better than I expect and it will happen in the right time. He has my best interest in mind.
     In other news, I had a pretty slacked off week. I didn't get a lot done even though I should have an had the time to...sometimes I'm just silly like that and forget. So Saturday I went to the Archaeology and Heritage Day at Jordan Lake for extra credit. It was actually really neat! We saw tons of booths with information about NC archaeological sites, a man who collected all sorts of spear points and rocks from dig sites, snow cones, hot dogs, peacock feathers, face painting, chickens and bunnies, a miniature pony, owls, and a saw and log. Pretty neat and had a good time getting to know some of my classmates that came with! I went home and tried to watch conference on my computer, which ended up not working cause of my wifi, but then I went to a concert! I know a few guys who are in a band called Airial Down(yeah, look them up because you won't be disappointed!) and they were so awesome! I'll post a few pictures of the weekend next time I get on here because my photo thing is being stupid tonight.

I hope everyone has a great and fantastic week and finds a chance to serve someone each day!
