17 Things You Should Know About Me

Since I just barely started this blog, I decided I should introduce myself!  Here are 17 things about me. (:


  1. I love music.  I love making music and listening to it!  I play the piano and I like to sing, although I'm not even that great at it!  When I say I love music, I don't mean that overplayed junk you hear every time you turn on the radio, I'm talking about real music..the classics.  Like the Beatles, and Elvis!  Nobody will ever come close to how amazing they were!  I love Mumford & Sons, Regina Spektor, Avett Brothers (which I was just barely introduced to(: )  Anyways I love music!
  2. I really really really want a kitty.  I just want something to be mine to take care of, and to cuddle with..and they are just so dang adorable!  
  3. I remember the most random things!  You know that one weirdo person that you have no idea who they are?  And they always start talking to you about things that apparently happened 12 years ago that you don't remember?  Yeah...that's me.  
  4. I secretly wish i was a math geek.  I wish I was that one kid in class that gets 105% on every test and basically teaches the teacher...but alas..I settle for a B-...I think I'll stick with english.  
  5. I could probably eat noodles with parmesan cheese for every meal.  You think I'm kidding?  Ask my mom..
  6. I believe that holidays are way too commercial these days.  I mean Easter was yesterday, right?  And I get on twitter and facebook, and all I see are tweets and posts about how they love Easter because they get to eat the peeps and cadbury eggs and reeses peanut butter eggs that the Easter Bunny brought them!  I bet that was just so fulfilling.  Having a day to celebrate chocolate eggs and marshmallows covered in sugar.  The same thing goes for Christmas!  Yeah everyone loves presents, obviously, but let's not forget the real reasons for these holidays: Jesus Christ.  
  7. Rain is my favorite thing.  When everyone is sad about how the clouds are out and the sky is grey, I'm lovin it!  It doesn't make me sad or depressed.  If I could, I would make it rain every day.  I could walk in the rain for hours.  I think it's peaceful.  
  8. I love glasses.  My real glasses, and my sunglasses.  I feel like they kind of define me a little bit.  They show I'm not the same as everyone else.  (Also..contacts just freak me out.) (: 
  9. My ambition is to become an elementary school teacher.  Ever since I was in elementary school, I've dreamed of what my future classroom would look like, and how I would be as a teacher.  
  10. My older sister, Britney, is my best friend.  Ever since we were little, we would fight like crazy, but we were still best friends.  Even when I was the annoying little sister bugging her and her friends, she would stand up for me.  I remember a time when I was following them around, and I could tell my sister was bugged.  Her friend said something like how annoying I was, and my sister stood up for me.  Although Brit has probably forgotten about that moment, I will always remember it. (refer back to #3)  And I'll always be here for her, like she's here for me. 
  11. I love the temple.  My favorite temple is the Logan temple.  They are all so beautiful and I can't wait to be sealed to my future husband. (: 
  12. I make collages.  Sometimes I stay up all night putting them together.  I love pictures, quotes, anything like that.  
  13. I'm real.  I know what you're thinking right now, of course you're a real person.  Yes I am real in that way, but I'm also real as in..not fake.  I don't try to please everyone, because I've learned that it's simply impossible to do so.  And sometimes, it's better to make yourself and God happy with you than to try to make everyone else happy with you.  When I hear people talk bad about a certain person, and then 20 minutes later they are acting like their best friend, it really bugs me.  I try my very hardest to be real and genuine.  
  14. I think about my future all the time.  My future husband, my future home, my future family.  I just cannot wait to be with my eternal companion and be sealed in the temple.  I want a family and i want to be a mom.  I'm going to be a cool mom, too.  Just like my mom has been with me. (:
  15. I can't wait until college.  I want to be on my own, and meeting new people.  I love a good adventure and that would be perfect for me.  
  16. I love babies and little kids.  Believe it or not, when we have family dinners at my grandma's house on Sundays, I'd rather sit with the kids than with the adults..and i usually do.  (:  Children are just so innocent, and they don't have to be updated on the latest gossip.  They take you for who you are and love you.  
  17. I believe in Christ.  Yes, I am a Latter Day Saint, and yes, we are Christians.  Just read the Book of Mormon. (:

Always Love

Well, this is my first post on here, so I'm not exactly sure how this works..but it's all good!

Always love.  Hate will get you every time.  

These simple lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time hit me hard.  Real hard.  I'm not the kind of person that you would say always acts so loving and always has a smile on her face.  I mean I'm not someone who glares everyone down or anything..but lately I've been trying to live by this!  I honestly don't think I've ever truly hated anyone.  Not saying that I've never not really liked someone.  That's definitely not true!  Me and my sister were having a conversation about this topic one time.  Think of this scenario: if you were driving along a ridiculously long desert road, and you see _____(insert name of someone you so-called "hate" into the blank) stranded with no food, no water, no means of transportation to get out of there, if you look at them and just say, "Sorry!  I have 3 empty seats in the back of my car, but I don't really want to give you a ride into town, even though you're probably going to die if I don't help you out.", you just might hate them.  I'm pretty sure i wouldn't be able to put anyone that I know into that blank, and be able to leave them stranded.  If you would, I guess you hate them!  Good for you!   Hating someone, or truly despising them takes up a lot of energy and time!  What good is it doing for anyone??  Having feelings like that towards someone only makes you unhappy.  WHY would you want to be anything BUT happy??  Everyone has their ups and downs in this life, but i think we can all agree that it's more fun and worthwhile to be happy.  You don't have to be every one's best friend and you don't have to be obsessed with every person you meet, but don't waste precious time hating!  It's not worth it.  So how bout we all try to make this world a better place, and always love.  Hate will get you every time!
