Insanity

Being in my house all day, I felt like I was going insane. I mean, I started singing Opera! When do I just bust out in Opera? I watched a really cheesy ABC Movie called Revenge of the Bridesmaids and Julie & Julia. I played piano, ran, vaccumed the car, cleaned my room and read my book. I like my summer vacation yet I am ready for school. Anyways, when I was watching Julie & Julia, it made me think about blogging. I love blogging. Everyday I wake up and think of what I am going to write about. In the movie "You've Got Mail", she says she can't wait to email Tom Hanks and see what the email is about. She likes to see the email and it makes her happy to write about her personal life and interests. I feel the same way about this blog.

 I open up on this blog and write my thoughts on life. I don't think many people read this blog yet to me it carries meaning to me. It is my journal, my emotional outlet, my expression of my deepest emotions and secrets and wishes. I think that blogging allows people to express themselves in whatever way they want. I follow some fashion bloggers which I love reading their posts. I love reading other's people thoughts on life to see if we have contrasting or similar beliefs. We can do things with blogs in that we reach people all over the world! Some small town girl like me can reach out to other countries. I see that blogging gives people power. We gain power as we express ourselves and we reach others and influence other's ideas. So you fellow bloggers out there...keep blogging!

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
