Let's re-cap some things that have been happening lately:
-My 21st birthday was on the 9th!! Yay! You know, birthdays are less fun as you get older I've noticed but my family always seems to make it an amazing day for me! My roommate Kourtney, who I love dearly came down to have dinner with my family that day and it meant the world to me! And of course, getting the "Alias 2" samsung cell phone from my parents was a total plus! If you don't know what it is, you should look it up! It's super awesome!
-Moved out of my Crestwood apartment. So April and I had signed a fall/winter contract there but when Kimmy and Kourtney couldn't get one, they found a place where all 4 of us could move in! I've lived away from home for about 3 years now and these are the best roommates I've ever had! I love these girls SO much. The apartment they found is actually cuter and cheaper than Crestwood so after carefully weighing the Pro's and Con's, April and I decided to sell our contracts. We had to be out by the 15th of August and we can't move into Branbury until the 24th so we're all pretty much bummin out of our cars during this time!
-Started liking a boy, as you can tell from all the song lyrics that have been running through my head. Things didn't go as smoothly with him as I had hoped they would. I don't know why I let myself like someone so much, so quickly. It's frustrating to no end. As hard as I try to lock it up, somehow my heart always ends up on my sleeve and is completely available to the world to get beat up. So this boy is gone for a couple weeks and my dear cousin Amy, in a round about way, introduced me to another great guy! We went on a date last night and he was really cool. Good looking, hilarious, smart, very kind... So we'll see what happens there.
-I decided that I'm going to take online classes from UVU for this semester. I still don't really know for sure what my work schedule is going to be like and I need all the time I can get.
-I'm really just trying to be an over-all better person. I'm trying to do the things I'm supposed to: read the scriptures daily, pray all the time, go out of my way to be nice to people, love my family like I should... I guess I'm just trying to be the kind of person that can brighten someones day with a small gesture.
-I've gotten a lot closer to my family. Well the one's I wasn't already close to. I've been spending a lot of time with Spencer and Abby and their kids and I can't tell you how amazing it is! Growing up, I had two older brothers... our family situation is so complicated that I didn't have two older BROTHERS. I didn't know them. After Ben and Em started dating, he became like the brother I never had. He still is. But now Spencer is taking on that role as well! It is... wonderful! I have so much love in my heart for him and his family.
I'm sure there has been more going on that I can't think of right now. I'll post pics from my birthday and just fun things that I've been doing while I'm at home this weekend (hopefully)!
Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
The opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong me, this many times
My memory is cruel
I'm queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only I had been listening
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late, two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I've learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always be
You and be always be
I tell myself, all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me, I'm almost ready
When he meant let go....
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines
