he knows me better

just a funny picture.. i feel like i should have bought these glasses. yeah? do you agree?

I've been thinking a lot lately.

(surprise suprise...?)

About how things always seem to happen when they are supposed to.

For a reason.

Kind of related to my last post, I suppose.

It's just so fantastically interesting to me that I am here, right now, doing whatever I'm doing.

And because of the choices I make today, 

different things will happen in the future.

I get really excited for the future.

Not sure if that's normal... I've always been a person to embrace change.

But most of all,

I love looking back on the past year, and seeing how my little choices made my life the way it is right now.

Deciding to go on a trip to Nauvoo, Illinois seems to have started it all.

Gave me amazing friends, who I couldn't live without.

Who brought other new friends into my life.

All of whom kept me entertained all school year.

And when I decided to be brave.

And when I wasn't afraid to say no to people. (boys...)

And when I learned that sometimes first impressions are wrong.

And the moments that I had small thoughts, which led me in a different direction when acted upon.

Listen to your heart, people.

I'm telling you, good things happen when you trust yourself.

And life can be the most interesting adventure of all.

Don't be afraid to take a chance.

That's all for now, folks.

Love you all.

p.s. and to jenna colvin, i love you most.

not about the price tags

There is always that moment when you ask yourself, what if I had done this? What if I had said that? What if? Would things have turned out differently? Maybe it would have changed everything...

There is no maybe. It WOULD have turned out differently.

Because every little choice that we make in life leads us to right where we are at this moment. 

No maybes... this is where we are.

Embrace it.

p.s. sometimes employment gets in the way of fun.

what could've been

You know it's finals week when... I finally get the nerve to enter the library. So what if this only happens four times a year on average? I am a good student, I am a good student, I am a good student.

I probably should have picked a different place to sit. This one is offering way too much in the way of people watching. And I love making eye contact with people I am watching, that's just lovely. (It really is, if it's a cute boy...)

But let me tell you something. Today is the day I am starting to be extraordinary, so I have a good feeling that something extraordinary could happen. And I felt like the library was the perfect place to go on this lovely day. And if there is anything I have learned this year, it is to trust my feelings.

I can't wait to tell you all what happens!
