So. This last week has been kind of hard. Finished finals- that was good. But then i had to say goodbye to one of my best friends- Rach. We spent all of Friday night together, reminiscing about everything we have been through together. How this last year has gone and every thing in between. It kind of made me sad because this last year was one of the hardest years i've had, but i've grown a lot because of it. I wouldn't trade it for the world. We went to our old stomping grounds- which i have mixed feelings about because there are some really good memories but some really sad ones- Wyview, and found an empty practice room. I had bought the sheet music for Titanium on a whim, and wanted to try it out. Rach mastered it in about 2 minutes and i sang and she played for almost an hour.

It was fantastic and i came to love that song. It has a really beautiful message, I kind of want to write another rendition-slow and softer- with someone.

I said goodbye to her on Saturday morning not knowing when the next time i would see here would be. It sucked. She's going on a Mission, which is fantastic, and i will write her ALLLLL the days! She is a huge example to me and i love her. I'm insanely jealous.

On that note, i found out that i probably won't be going on a Mission, at least not soon. It's not because i don't want to, there are just problems of the financial type that are becoming a stumbling block. One thing i've learned through all of this is that Heavenly Father has His own time schedule, and to fight that and try and make our own just causes frustration. Don't fight Him. He knows what we need, and it's not always what we want, even if it's a worthy goal.

Then today freakin' Charlee left me for three weeks. I'm going through withdrawl, especially when some ridiculous boy drama went down tonight and ALL I COULD DO WAS TEXT HER. It was ok though, i listened to Macklemore and watched Pitch Perfect with Katy. Then organized my kitchen because that's how i keep it together man. I miss her. I said goodbye to her at the airport and felt like a mother saying goodbye to her child. it sucked.  Way too many goodbyes...


ON A BETTER NOTE: CHRISTIAN IS BACK AND IT'S SO GOOD TO HAVE ONE OF MY BEST GUY FRIENDS BACK. I've missed this man so much, when he first called me we were on the phone for a little over 3 hours. He's seriously one of the most amazing guys ever. 2nd most anticipated missionary return. 1st being P just because, well yeah.


So Katy and I have a couple of goals for the break:

• Watch ALLLLL the Disney movies, we raided her collection of VCR movies. She has a TON of Disney movies. We are having Marathons this upcoming week. We even re-arranged the living room so my chair could see the TV, i love that chair. 
• Read ALLLL the Lord of the Rings- or at least start them? Realized Greg was a huge fan last night when he was geeking out with Katy "Gregggg, your nerd is showing" 
• Get caught up with Doctor Who, i'm about a season behind. I'm on episode 11 of Season 6
• Oregon- so.many.subgoals. Give Becca the BIGGEST hug ever. Voodoo with David. Hawthorne with the both of them. Make juice with my dad. Read with my Mom. See my brother and his family, love them! Just breathe. because i've missed home and i want to be there so bad. 
• Find some new music, ain't no time like the present. I'm always searching for new music, i need to dedicate like, a day to it this week. Just a beautiful music and tea day. mmmmm

C'est la vie.
