Changes

Isn't it funny how we change in life? I've been noticing a lot of changes about myself recently. I used to like leading, and now I prefer someone else to lead. I used to enjoy being the center of attention, and now I prefer to listen quietly to others (for the most part). I used to be untraveled and now I've seen the world. I once wanted to be a stage manager for live theater. Now I want to be an anthropologist. I never looked forward to French class in high school and I thought I had no language abilities. Now ASL is my favorite class, but I still don't have language abilities. I've kept some friends, and lost others... And I've become friends with people I never thought I'd be close to. I used to have straight A's... Now I definitely don't. My mom used to make me wonderful dinners, and now I eat a lot of PP&J. Life changes, and it sure is difficult to go through change sometimes but it's nice to recognize that all the changes are good. I could still learn and change things about myself, but what's nice is that I'm finally enjoying the process... I think. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed that food for thought. It allowed me to postpone studying for my science exam another 10 minutes. Peace and blessin's.

Hee Haw... and other Banjo ditties

So, I go through bouts of really missing my mom and tonight contained one of those bouts.  So I made my roommate listen to "Love is like a Butterfly" by Dolly Parton with me.  I love this song.  When I live at home and my dad has a late night at work I sit with my mom's bed, half heartedly fold clothes with her, and watch an episode of Hee Haw.  I bet you wish you were us.  Anyway, Dolly was the guest artist on this particular episode we watched and she sang the song mentioned above.  It's wonderful... and we watched it 3 or 4 times in a row.  Guess what mom!  Ally now loves the song too.  I couldn't have asked for a better roommate.  She loves our music!

So after Ally and I watched this video 3-ish times in a row I showed her "Well May the World Go" by Pete Seeger, another wonderful song my mom and I love.  So I am declaring today a "Two songs of the Day" day.  You should listen to both of them.  They are everything that is wonderful and joyous.

I miss and love you mom!
(Dad and sisters... I miss and love you guys too)

Pixie?

There's a girl in my ward that is in beauty school or something and she needs a pixie cut model on Tuesday... Meaning she needs a girl willing to get her hair cut pixie style.  I've always wanted a pixie cut, but I'm afraid I can't pull it off.  What do you think?
