"here we go, here we go, here we go again"

So, it's been well over a year since last I wrote. Much has happened, but I'm not going to play "catch-up" with my thoughts. But I do want to start writing stories. So guess what, YOU ALL GET TO BE MY GUINEA PIGS!!! :D hehe. I would like feed back, positive or negative, as long as it is constructive. This is a skill I have always wanted to develop, and I need to actually start trying. So here--we--gooooo!!

What is love? It's amazing how the world looks at it. Loves true form is still there in some ways but it's been twisted and warpped to a point of almost unrecognition. It's sad. Children grow up not really understanding it. They may see a true form of it in their home, but they get something so different from media and friends, that they grow confused. Then, once older, it throws a kink in things. They grow up getting told to get married so not only do they not understand loves true form, but they feel intense pressure. Starting a family is critical, but it has to be started correctly, or it will be disasterous.
Wow, I'm on a soap box. Sorry.

christmas morning

Ah, Christmas morning. It's a wonderful time. This morning was great fun since it was my neice's first. She's ten months old understands what a present is; she just doesn't completely understand how to unwrap them. She got a toy cell phone today and she was so, so happy! It was so cute! Soon it will be time for the Christmas dinner of ham and all good things. Yummy!

ward Christmas programs

This is the time of year that every ward does a program in church. Sometimes it's dedicated to the ward choir and sometimes it's shared with the whole ward. Putting on the program, I mean. But either way, even with as amateur it is, it is always a wonderful program. It brings a wonderful spirit and helps one ponder on the more important things of this time of year.

Christmas break

I think the amount of time we are given between semesters is a huge blessing. It gives student a chance to relax, not think about grades, or their future if they so care not to, spend time with family, and enjoy the time of year. Plus, any of us music majors, or those musically inclined, get even more chance to share our love with others.

I'm so excited to go home and spend time with my family. My dad was a sweetheart. I requested a movie that I wanted to watch while I was home; he couldn't find their recording so he went and rented it. Bless his heart. The movie is "Mickey's Christmas Carol". I haven't seen it forever and I thought it would be so much fun to watch with my neice. :)

days off

I love having days off. It is nice to be able to do what you want to without having to be on a time schedule. You can take a nap (I didn't) or read or watch movies or work on crafts or clean....or pretend to. lol

I think I figured it out!

I spent about an hour last nite trying to figure out how to post from my phone. Then I decided to try again this morning and I guess the page just wasn't downloading right last nite!! It works!! :D woot

Ok, I have another thought about finals....I HATE THEM.  I haven't had to spend a lot of time studying, but having to sit down and regurgitate all the information that you learned in the past  16 weeks is not a fun process.  Blek.  But the good news....I'M FINALLY DONE!!!!!  Hallejuah!  Now I just have to make it through a ward choir program and I really will be done.  I'll be able to relax!  Oh, and there's a game on Saturday.  Woot.  GO UVU!!

finals week

Finals week...mmm...best week of the semester. No classes; you only have to show up for about a half hour of each scheduled time...it's great. That's how it is for everyone, right? lol

I think sledding is a great thing. You get wet and cold and a rush when you slide down the hill. Plus it's hilarious seeing fat guys go off a jump on a tube and then go flying off of it!! Oh, it's great. I wish I had video of it. Oh man...

So I've decided that online games are great and horrible at the same time. They are such a time waster, but it's a great release also. And there are so many different kinds!! For everybody! And at all different levels! It's amazing.


Another thought--IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!! :D I'm very excited. It'll be my neice's first Christmas...and she's old enough that she'll kinda understand what's going on! It'll be great.

the first thought

So, a friend created a blog for me once, when something big and important was happening in my life. But that ended up not happening, but I think I might've been biten by the blogging bug. I just kept thinking about blogging, and so I decided to try my own. This should be fun. I like everyone knowing what I'm thinking... *clear throat*
