New Favorite Song

It is Young the Giant, "Apartment". Recently, I have found this radio station on pandora called, alternative indie love songs. It is my favorite radio station and this is where I found my new favorite song. I would post the music video, but it is kinda weird. The song is just relaxing for me and I love it.

I was thinking about going on a mission, but I realized that I wouldn't be able to listen to music. That was one of the things that made me decide not to go. There are several reasons why I decided not to go, but I can't give up my music. I know it sounds really selfish, but we have our favorite things we can't give up.

You can listen to my new favorite song and love it too. I share my favorite music.

    Ok, Kristen....this post made me laugh. Not serve a mission because of music deprivation? You are too funny. I would think you would add that you applied to grad school and are waiting to hear. Just sayin,,,

    Hey, there's plenty of music you can listen to on a mission, depending on your mission president. Even now, even on weekdays, I listen to music that missionaries could listen to (like Cherie Call and the Lower Lights). Granted, a lot of mission music isn't very good, but there are a lot of times I miss being restricted to only those churchy things. You gain an appreciation for it when it's all you can listen to, and sometimes I miss that appreciation.

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 ...
