The Bacherlorette

It's almost over :( But I can't wait to see who DeAnna chooses in the end! Oh my goodness! My prediction is Jason.

Every Monday night Kara, my mom, and I all get together and watch the Bachelorette. We are COMPLETELY addicted and I love this season so SO much! I thought I wasn't going to because at first I really didn't like DeAnna too much. But now I think she's ADORABLE.

Here's a run down on the guys:

Jason---so sweet. Probably the most sincere guy on the show. He absolutely ADORES DeAnna. You can see it in his eyes. When he sees her his whole face lights up and he would do ANYTHING for her. He has a three year old son, Ty, who is a sweetheart. Ty is the most important thing in his life and you can tell that his little boy is his world. He loves to spend time with him and Ty is such a daddy's boy. Jason is caring, protective, and might I add...VERY attractive. He is my favorite.

Jeremy---very sensitive. He lost both of his parents and now can only rely on his two brothers. This is something DeAnna and him have in common. DeAnna's mother died when she was twelve. They have had a couple of bonding moments through this experience and that is something that DeAnna shares with NOBODY else. He really cares about her. He has a great house (awesome decorator), perfect body, killer smile, and I think he honestly cares for DeAnna. Basically, Jeremy is the perfect guy. Problem is...how perfect is too perfect?

Jesse---the funny guy. He's always trying to be different and stand out. He is a professional snowboarder and wears interesting clothes all the time to stand out from all the other guys. He's definitely not the typical guy most girls on the show would go for, nor me, but I must say I have been rooting for him to make it this far. He is the SWEETEST guy and I'm so glad that he has had the opportunity to get to know DeAnna and be on the show. He always said that when he went on the show he just figured he'd be voted off the first day because he's not the "typical" guy. He deserved the chance that DeAnna gave him for sure!

We'll see what happens next week when they narrow it down to two! :)

Family Home Evening

So for Family Home Evening last night we went and saw the movie Emma Smith at Cinemark. Okay...SO AMAZING! I cried throughout the whole thing. That woman had such a hard life. She went through trial after trial but she never lost faith. She kept perservering through everything. I am so amazed by her! She had a strength not many people have. After watching that movie, I realize that I have NOTHING to complain about it my life. I am so blessed to live the life that I live. :)

If you haven't seen this movie yet...I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.

Natasha Bedingfield---Wild Horses

So i'm sitting here listening to music. Can't sleep. And had some random thoughts through the lyrics.

"All I want is the wind in my hair. To face the fear but not feel scared."


Brilliant lyrics Natasha. But then again--doesn't everyone want this? And still, I consider this brilliant. I mean, it's so true. You have this fear and yet the greatest thing in the world would be too stare this fear in the face and not feel anything. Just to be able to look it in the eye and walk away unscathed. But that's pretty much impossible, for whatever reason. There is something holding you back from doing so.


But don't worry. This song gets even better. She nails one of my fears on the head.


"Wish I could recklessly love like i'm longing to."

Yes, you got it right. I fear love. In any aspect of life. Whether it's loving a family member, a friend, or a lover. It doesn't matter. I tend to run from people before I let them too far in my life. So congratulations if you're a big part of my life---and have been for awhile. You must be important. And if I have run...sorry. It's become a habit - one I really need to break. But despite the fact that i KNOW this, I still run away and hide. Because the fear of losing someone I care about eats away at me. So I just never let it get to that point. Nevertheless, my number one dream is to be ABLE to let people in my life and not be scared. "To face {MY} fear and not feel scared." I think i've gotten better at this. I mean, it's hard not to. I'm blessed to have such AMAZING people in my life. I'd be stupid NOT to let them in. So I guess i'm saying thank you everyone for helping me work through this fear.


And thanks Natasha. Your lyrics are inspiring.

Las Vegas

Last week I went to Las Vegas with one of my bff's, Natalie. We had so much fun! There was a lot of turbulence on the plane on the way there...which was scary. We honestly thought we were going to die. But no worries, we landed safely. :) We did a lot of shopping. Some swimming. Walked around. Took lots of pictures. Ate LOTS of yummy food. Went to two shows. One was the cirque de solei Beatles Love. Front row seats. AMAZING. Let me just say. The costumes were really cool and I love love LOVED the music. I knew every word. haha. Yes, I'm a little obsessed with the Beatles. Nothing wrong with that, right?! The second show we saw was Le Reve. This was a wicked awesome water show. People were flying down on strings doing cool tricks. Diving into water from 80 feet up. SCARY. There was like synch going on. Some salsa dancing slightly emerged in water....just the shoes. With wet hair. SOOO GOOOD. I loved it. Hopefully i'll be able to upload some pictures on here soon. I just haven't had the time to edit them yet.
