baby you can drive my car

remember: it's not worldly things that will make you happy. you won't be happier if you do this or that or lose ten pounds or whatever. real happiness and joy comes from the gospel. now stop forgetting that.

my January friend

It's interesting and fascinating that each person you encounter in life is like a string of web leading you to attach to several other people, even if in a small tiny way. And each person that you have a friendship, a relationship, a short encounter with, is another person, is another connection, something that affects you and probably will come up again sometime in your life before you die. So many people. So many connections. It boggles me. I wonder how much I'll think about these people, people I've met and shared part of my life story with this year, will I remember them in ten? Will I still think about them? Have they impacted me?

Let them eat cake. Wedding cake. (from a reception last Sat)

it's too late for you and your white horse

• I am recently obsessed with Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
• My guitar neck cracked and it's in the shop. Please be more careful with it everybody. Many thanks. I miss it dearly.
• I need more money. I need more hours. I need actual work.
• I don't know how my schedule is working out next year. I don't know if I'll be able to afford school at all.
• I am kind of ridiculous when it comes to relationships. I think too much and have too many weird complexities that I need to analyze then get over. I feel sorry for whoever's on the other end. I wonder if he even knows what he's gotten himself into.. haha.
  
• I never shave.
• I want to be 15 pounds lighter by the end of the summer.
• I care a lot about what other people think.
• I get embarrassed easily.
• Florida was really really fun. It was so good to take a break. I'm in love with the beach. My back is as dark as a Bolivian's. Only my back though. Strange. I snorkeled for the first time. I played in white sand and warm ocean water for the first time. I absolutely loved it.
• Seattle was also really awesome. It's the first time I left and didn't want to. I love my family a ton. As crazy as they are... they are also pretty cool.
• I'm grateful for my car.

Florida!!! I found a hermit crab and was very excited.
