i just realized...

how i got through a year without snow...

you don't lose things when you drop them on the ground overnight and it's not snowing.

because they don't get covered with snow...

but when it snows a lot...

you can't find anything you dropped the night before...

yes...i dropped my keys while frolicking in the snow last night.

and i can't find them...

because they've been covered in snow...

now i have to pay for them.

and i have no money...

oops.

i'm sure i will find them once spring comes around

and the snow melts

but by then it will be too late...

sad day.

anyone want to donate to my keys fund?

Christmas time.

I'm wondering how i ever got through a Christmas without it being a white one...

I've seen snow outside my window when i've woken up for the past few days...

and i find it to be one of the most beautiful things.

I was actually kind of dreading the snow because it's cold and wet and slippery,

but now that it's actually here...i absolutely LOVE it!

It really makes Christmas feel so much more...Christmasy :)
I was at my friend jana's house tonight,
and we left at about midnight to come home and when we stepped outside...it was perfectly white...and hadn't been touched...it was beautiful.
It's FREEZING and i'm dying of cold...
but i LOVE the snow!!! :)

Life is Crazy...but i LOVE it!

Quite a lot has happened recently but i haven't has ANY time to update this...i guess i will start from thanksgiving break. It was AMAZING i was SO glad to go home for a little bit and be able to see my family, friends, drive lots!, and just get a break from school. School is getting to be super crazy because of finals and i have a ton to do. especially because...exciting news...I'm moving off campus!

Not sure if anyone got the idea that i was not having a good time in my ward or in the dorms, but i wasn't. I've been thinking about moving out of the dorms since the first week i got here haha. Me and two of my friends have been trying So many places looking for 3 free spaces which is REALLY hard for winter semester because most people have year-long contracts, but yesterday we found a place that is perfect and has 3 spaces open for us in the same apartment! We also went to the ward yesterday to check it out, since that is one of my main reasons for leaving the dorms, and we LOVED it. It's a really social ward, and i probably met more people there yesterday than i have this whole semester in my own ward. The Rent there is almost 100 dollars cheaper, and even though it's farther away, i have an actual living room, tv, and i can paint the walls haha So i'm really excited to be living here. I think i will definitely enjoy the atmosphere there...

And i am happy to say that i am LOVING Noteworthy. At first things were really stressful with work and all the rehearsals, but now that the whole learning a song every night thing is over it's SO FUN! we have shows every single night this week and it's going to be crazy considering i still have to pack up all of my stuff, move it out, write some papers, and study for finals, but i'm sure everyting is going to work out...anyway. just thought i'd give you all an update...oh and i put some noteworthy videos on my page. :)

Love <3

Quote for today

So today i went over to the eye doctor with one of my roommates, and as i sat there waiting i read O magazine. As i read the magazine, one thing popped out at me. It said:

"Happiness is not a set of desirable life circumstances; it's a way of traveling."

for some reason that really stood out to me and i haven't been able to forget about it since i read it. I am definitely a "glass half empty" type of person, and not because i like to be miserable, just because i don't see the point in hoping for things that won't happen...and i know this is a very pessimistic view on life, and i don't mean to sound that way, but as i read this I realized, once again, that life is what you make it. and i definitely don't seem to make it all it can be. These past 5 or 6 months have been pretty rough for me, and don't seem to be getting much better, but i know that if i can get myself to just sit back and remember to travel happily then things will seem better than they are. it's just a matter of being able to do that.
