Bucket List....Check!

So, tonight was Stadium of Fire. I love concerts and fireworks, so the combination of the two just makes me so happy. I saw The Beach Boys and the country guy who just won American Idol. The Scotty guy was sooooo good. Seriously, his voice is low. He is good for only being 18 years old. And then, I was scared about the Beach Boys. They are old. They are in their 70's, so it was their 50 year anniversary. But their concert was a blast. It could of been because of the people I went with, but they still had their livelihood in their music.

They had the beach thing going on, and all their songs would make you want to get up and dance. I danced a lot during the night. I moved, sang, danced, made up words and watched others do the same thing as me. I saw moms and daughters and families dance to the Beach Boys together. I loved it. My favorite part was when they sang California Girls. I could hear the intro and I just knew they were singing my song. So, I stood up and did my thang. Yes, I know I spelt that wrong. It was on purpose.

I knew every word to the song, and I agreed that California has the cutest girls in the world. It was one of my bucket list items: Dance to California Girls with Beach Boys Live. Done. Good feeling to accomplished one of my bucket list items.

I love the Beach Boys. They still have it going on even in their old age. They just amaze me how they are able to keep their energy up and have a good show. I would say that going to Stadium of Fire was worth all the money I paid for. The firework show is always really good, but I love the concerts. Last year was Brad Paisley and David Archuleta. I have seen them both already, but it is always fun to see the same people in different places, times of year, and avenues. There is a different feel in the concert whether or not is based on a stadium or tiny Lake Tahoe avenue.

I love the feeling of knowing all the words to your favorite song and then seeing them live. You don't care what others think of you and you let loose completely. It is a wild, adventurous moment in some ways. You sing on the top of your lungs and dance until your body is utterly exhausted. This is how I feel right now. All my energy is gone, but I can sure say that dancing to California Girls just was a self-esteem booster. It made me think of how I get tan...haha. Just kidding. But, thanks Beach Boys for putting on a aweomse show. I have one more item on my bucket list checked off right now.

Did I ever write on here that I saw the Village People at the state fair? I think the most unpredictable people I have seen live include: The Beach Boys, MC Hammer, Village People, NSYNC and Katy Perry. I like expanding my people who I have seen. And the fun thing is that I am only 21. I can see so many more with all my years left!

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 ...
