some great lyrics!

These are great lyrics for anyone who is having a hard day or just because. I love this song!

The Heart of Life

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But, then your circle of friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good

John Mayer-Continuum

I'm still alive....barely

Yes I am still alive and kickin' although sometimes I am not sure how. I figured since it has been almost a month since I have written I should update everyone even though I'm pretty sure most people don't really read this. Well first off, I worked 10 hours today and am pretty pooped but the day went by fast. I have had one job interview thus far and have at least two more this week. Finding a job that could potentially be a career is proving to be one of the most stressful things I have undertaken thus far. Some days it seems like the life has been sucked out of me because I currently work full-time, am planning a graduation, making housing arrangements, and still trying to keep a normal social life. I love being busy so most days I don't mind but occasionally I realize how exhausted I am. The weekends have been my saving grace. Anyway, I will write again hopefully soon to tell you about my new job. Hope everyone is doing well!

just for fun...

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought it would be fun.

What I was doing 10 years ago: I was 11. I was probably very excited to start young women's. All of my brothers had just left the house and I am sure I was dealing with that adjustment.

5 years ago: Sixteen- I was going into my junior year of high school and probably excited about dating and driving. I was probably doing basketball workouts all summer and preparing to attend the city of joseph pageant in Nauvoo for the last time.

1 year ago: I was twenty. Living at Glenwood with Kellen, Mandi, Melani, and Yara. I was just working and enjoying my summer with friends.

Yesterday: I did laundry, went on a bike ride to the river with Kayla, went to the mall with Kayla, took a nap, and went on a date.

5 favorite snacks: popcorn, ice cream, sour patch kids, fruit, fruit snacks

5 favorite books: BOM, Trust in Jesus, Screwtape Letters, Princess Academy, How to Kill a Mockingbird

5 fave places to run away: I don't do this a lot but... my room, my car, nature, my parents, florida

5 bad habits: staying up too late, gossiping, avoiding boys, sleeping in late on Saturdays, ignoring certain phone calls

5 things I would never wear: mini skirt, thong, bikini, stilettos, fish net

5 pet peeves: selfish people, liars, people telling me what to do, people correcting other people's opinions-the beautiful thing about opinions is that they are not right or wrong-it is just a point of view, people doing stupid things that affect other people

5 things I enjoy: sleeping, eating, reading, music, sports

5 favorite t.v. shows: Cardinal's games, The Office, LOST, Gangland, College Bowl Games

Update

Well I guess I should have updated this and said that I am ALL done with school! It is such a weird feeling but I don't think it will really feel any different until the fall. I am excited to see what the future brings but I will miss my current job a lot. It has been so great! I got a letter yesterday and that was exciting. Those of you who know me should know what why I was exctied about this...
Anyway,I am really hoping and praying that all of my family can come out for my graduation but one thing after another seems to come up but I am not giving up hope yet. I just want my whole family to be together because it has been awhile. Life is just so busy! Anyway, I should mention that I LOVE the new Coldplay cd so much! It is very different and might seem odd to some but it is so great! I have yet to find a coldplay song that I don't like. Here are the lyrics from one that is really great. I think they are good. The song is called Lost.

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one
And you'll be lost

Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing starts
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off…

I don't know but I just really like these lyrics a lot!

long day, but good

Today I worked from 8am to 6:30pm. It was a long day. I am pretty exhausted but the day was good and went by pretty fast. FHE was fun, we drew with sidewalk chalk and now we are going to go to a bonfire. I am tired but happy. Life is good.

ALMOST DONE!

I only have two days of class left and one day of finals. Can you believe I am almost done? I can't! It is a bittersweet feeling.

I might be back....

Hello!! Well as you can probably tell, this blog started put as one for a class. My English class a year ago required me to write 3 blog entries a week on different topics. I don't really want to take the time to go back through and delete all of those so they are still there but I don't really recommend reading them...they are grammatical and boring! Well anyways, I am going to try to update this kind of frequently but I don't know much about it so it may take a while. A lot of my family/friends have blogs so it will be a good way to stay in touch.
