Empty

Everyone's gone. It feels so empty here. Even though my immediate family is still here, it feels so empty. I'd gotten so used to having ten extra people running around my house, then one, then three again. Now, it's just us. I could totally write a depressing post about how I feel, but that's no fun to read. I'm sick of feeling sad and lost, I've cried so much this last week. Happy time!

There was just a scary commercial on the tv. I felt like a little kid again because I couldn't find the remote fast enough to turn it so I just plugged my ears and closed my eyes for eternity until I was absolutely sure it was over. I saw a few scary movies back in my rebel days, cough cough 10th grade, and I regret that so much, they still haunt me a lot of nights. Stupid rebel me.

I've realized that I plug my ears differently than a lot of people. Is there a right or a wrong way to do that? I stick my fingers in my ears but I've seen a lot of people press on those little ear flap things on the side of their face? It hurts when I do that! So, are they the weird ones or am I the weird one? Or are none of us weird?

I absolutely love driving in the car with the windows down, feet on the dash, sun shining, singing along to the radio. Now, we just need a nearby beach where I can drive like that to. :) I want to go back to Cali sometime and just spend a week on the beach.

When my grandma was packing her stuff, I was like, you're my grandma! And she was like you wanna know how that happened? And I was like oh no but instead she said something pretty amazing. She was like there was this guy Adam and Eve and then there was Noah and she went on and told me about how her great grandparents came over here and how they moved to Idaho and how all these things had to line up just right so that I was born. She had to move to Utah, become friends with the neighbor guy, who set her up on a blind date. My mom had to go to that certain high school where she became friends with that one girl who was dating this guy who knew my dad, they set them up on multiple blind dates and bam, here I am.

Seminary graduation was tonight. I honestly never thought that I would make it to that. I failed 10th grade and had a lot of makeup work that I was just too stubborn to do. After two whole years of bugging and putting it off, I finally did the work. Actually, a shortened version because my teacher was so great this year and helped me :) My name was spelled wrong on my certificate though. It's spelled wrong on my patriarchal blessing as well, just a different way of wrong. If that makes sense. It's both funny and a little sad. Plus I had to say goodbye to friends again tonight. I've had to say so many goodbyes, it's getting depressing. I know I could see them all again if I really tried but there's just so many people, it's overwhelming. I need to go to bed, I'm not making any sense. Hahaha!

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...
I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
