Still got a ways to go before there are seven hours left. ;)

Seven Hours- Lucy Schwartz
You, you're my home, if you leave, i'll follow.
And I overflow, with out you i'm hollow.
Seven hours til I get to see you.
Seven hours of this paper work.
Seven hours til I get to come back home.
Seven hours of this walking daydream
Seven hours, I don't know what it's worth,
Seven hours til I get to come back home.

You, you're my light, keep that fire burning.
And I'm a radio, playing slow songs of yearning,
Seven hours til I get to see you
Seven hours of this paper work.
Seven hours til I get to come back home.
Seven hours of this walking daydream.
Seven hours I don't know what it's worth.

Oh---Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
Come back home.
Come back home.
You, you're my home, if you leave I'll follow.
And I overflow but without you I'm hollow.

I am loving this song. This new artist Lucy Schwartz is wonderful. I love her songs they are so unique and original. :) It makes me happy.
But this song in partiuclar just makes me miss things sometimes. Its hard waiting for things in life to come, you know what I mean?
We have to be patient and just do what we should be doing everyday until what we are waiting for shows up or we get an answer to a question we have had.
This really isn't what I wanted to say....I want to play this song when he gets back.
Everytime I go home I am constantly reminded of him. Made the summer a little hard, but I lived. :) I made a wonderful friend, his mother. :) She is a dear sweet woman and I am so very glad that we have had the chance to get to know each other.
But I really should go to sleep so I will.
Guten Nacht!

Its Half Life, with you as my quarterback, a daft life.

I have to say I just love this song by Imogen Heap. Half Life. :) It makes me really happy.
So...now that Arsenic and Old Lace is over life is slowly getting back in order. :)
Today is a very slow day, reason being I have one class and then rehearsal for MouseTrap. I am the props mistress for that show this time now. So I have no idea what to do with my time so I shall blog!
We watched Pan's Layberinth last night and considering how tired I was I saw the whole movie but it was weird...strange but it is full of good symbolism.

Oh but last night I let one of my roommates cut my hair. I never do anything to it beside grow it out and then trim it. So I have layers!!!!

I like it alot! ^_^

Its weird brushing my hair and there is not as much and putting it up it is so much thinner. Its fun though. :D
So lets see....what has happened recently.
Well I didn't make it in to Mousetrap since I am doing the props but I may get to help out with the acting in a way.
Moving on, the Alpa Delts club is having a superhero stomp next week!!! I'm going to be Super Girl!

I am trying to get more sleep.
Oh I got a tape from Elder Wilson... :D It was wonderful to hear his voice. And I have already sent another one out to him but man i have quite a few friends to write to if I have the time to.
I need to write to, the MTC for a couple friends and write to Latvia, Louisiana, Sweden, Peru just to name a few. But I will eventually get to that. lol :)

Lets see, I finished reading mockingjay! I loved the end of the book, it made me content with the story in the end. I was worried that it would be something I totally didn't expect like half the things in the book i didn't expect. hehe

I'm way excited to go home, I get to spend some time with some of my favorite people! And go to the Haunted Forest hopefully and meet up with some friends from Snow there. :)
And I have another mission farewell to go to this sunday. Lol I have hardly been to my ward at all.

And a fun fact, my lovely roommate who will be known as Brazil and I had started making a V-log but we lost time for that after the play practices started. Its ok but we have had a lot happen since then. lol!


Oh and a bit of news, I am going to audition to be a Young Performing Missionary. :) I need to because it feels like the right thing to do which would rock my summer if I do get to go. :D

Well i'm going to study and get some homework stuffs done a clean my place before I head home!! WOOT!

Peace out!

.....SIgh

I'm way busy...woot! but just a little too much to handle at the moment.
I'm the Stage Manager for the first show.
I am really tired right now. I have Aerobics and PE on tuesdays and thursdays so I am exhaugsted by the end of the day.
I have not done my film homework yet....or taken the last quiz...gah
I can't wait for the weekend.
I can then finish things that have been left unfinished all week.
Like finishing my Letter and Recorded letter to Elder Wilson yay!
Reading the rest of Mockingjay!!! Yay!
Getting my Photos for Elder Wilson and creating his birthday package yay!!
Going to rehearsal on saturday...yay!
....but i think I will eat something and then go to sleep....
loves...g'night

Oh bugger....

Just packing up my room again for the year. And writing another letter to a best friend.  I have more than one! :)
Oh music it makes my life happy,
Listening to Rooney- When did your heart go missing. In love with this song for the longest time. Trust me I can't get over some songs I find.
Off for the rest of my day...yay!
I'm a nerd as people say when I tell them I play D&D but its fun and I'm going to play it again tonight so :p
And I am going to eat my lunch now and be happy!
Woot!

Oh FHE

It was my last FHE with the UVU 12th Ward. It was fun we had a marshmallow war! Flour covered marshmallows!!! Woot! It was a lot of fun. I will have to get a photo from it. :D Candice was being silly. lol  I will miss that ward, until next summer. I will return! :)

Then I went home and chased a little black bunny rabbit that has been living in our neighborhood that the neighbors on the corner have given up on. They just eventually stopped trying to find a way to stop him from leaving their yard. It really isn't that hard to take care of a rabbit is it? I have never had a pet so I don't know. I do know that tonight I was SOOO close to catching that Rabbit! Grr... When I pulled up in the driveway some of the kids from across the street were trying to catch the silly thing. So I decided to help them. We chased that rabbit around in circles! it was fun, but I thought I had him....alas I failed. Until next time Blacky! (Mom named him Blacky even though he has brown spots mixed in the black.

Well after my Red/Blonde haired sister and I made some popcorn and had fun being dorks...which I made her laugh because I was feeling indifferent to my personality and was making strange voices and laughing. It was fun, I enjoy those times with her. Mom finished her phone call and we all had scripture study with dad.

We just started over as a family in the Book of Mormon. It still amazes me that the lord had Angels appear to Laman and Lemuel so many times and they still  ended up murmuring and complaining. I just cannot fathom the fact that an Angel appeared before them and they still chose to forget what they had been taught. But "there must needs be opposition in all things" right? And there are many many other stories like that where an angel appears and they don't care. One day it will all make perfect sense. :)

So mom, my sis and I started watching Arsenic and Old Lace together. It is hilarious! I love it!  I have only watched half of it because I was on my way to bed but it is good and I cannot wait for the show itself when school starts! Woot!

Well I'm going to go to sleep and I will go running in the morning.

Ciao!

Friday the 13th!

My last post was a little too mellow...eh...

Anyways so I went to Ephraim yesterday and I am running sound for a pageant. Yeah I just remember working pageants in high school and remembered that I didn't particularly like the people who ran them cause they treated us like we were dumb and wanted immediate reaction time to everything when sometimes it takes a second to get a task done. Geez! I just need to remember to put on a happy face and deal with it when I am working with these people. Its really hard sometimes...trust me! well for me anyways and I usually get along with people! So yeah that was ok. Then they sprung a saturday morning rehearsal on us at 9Am so now I have to leave tomorrow morning at like 6am to get there on time.
Because I love you all my friends who invited me to that summer party that happens to be today and everyone wants me to be there. Well you got it. I'm coming but no crying when I leave early! :P I actually found out we would have had rehearsal today as well if it wasn't for budget cuts on the pageant budget. So you are lucky I decided to drive home to see you people.

And I got a letter! Woot! It was a wonderful letter and I loved it and I freaking love each letter that comes because it is always getting better. Its funny how before I was the one helping him and then he was the one helping me and now our letters have great timing to come just when we need to remember better our purpose in life or just remembering to read the scriptures and I could list many more but I won't. I just have to say I know for a fact that when a young man devotes his life for two years to serve the lord, he is definately with out a doubt blessed in so many ways. And its a neat experience to see friends close to you change and see their joy in serving those people who don't know the truth just yet. :)

Well I gotta start packing for school now because I'm going to be quite busy next week just packing. Lighten the load now!

And if I remember I'll let ya know about the Pageant...sigh...sometimes you gotta bite your tongue!

Ciao!

Summer

It has been one long summer. A good one, but a slow long summer. I've learned alot about myself.
It has also been my first summer with out him.
I miss him. One more summer to go.
I move in a week and a half and I am going back to Snow College.
This year will be awesome. This year will be better than last year.
I just hope you know? I hope.

Oh Summer...

So..I love how I said I would keep up in my blog...yeah that didn't really happen. I am not always going to be posting on here just because I always forget.
But this summer has been interesting, it's the first summer I have spent with out one of my best friends. And a friend has recently come home and I had been hanging out with him and other friends, but...I just haven't felt included. I am but...
This summer has also made me miss all of my Snow College friends very much. There was just that awesome group of us and it was a pretty large group, but it was a fair group of friends from the theatre department and we all just got along. Yes, there was some drama but we are all good kids and we all just loved hanging around each other because we all accepted each other. And I could not have asked for a better group of friends. :) I will never forget it.

Anyways...I have just been working some over the summer and helping here around the house. Seeing old friends. Going to farewells. Which this weekend I am driving to visit my best friend in Grantsville and go to a farwell for an amazing young man. And it appears that most of our friends from Snow are all planning on comming. its going to be a fantastic day!
I've been spending time with another best friend. :) Lets call her Brazil! She is just awesome, :) and we just might become roommates this fall if we can work it out.

Well...I'm going to do something else that  needs my attention.

Adventurous week!

Man...I should be in bed, from now on I will not post this late...
I got the chance to go to Blanding, Utah this week with my good college buddy Amber! ^_^ We got to see our dearest friend Anita! We were coming down to help with a photo shoot. Her friend Kara who is the photographer and I believe creator of Illuminated moments (You should check out her blog or look them up on facebook!) was having a party shoot. A party shoot is where the model comes and they bring something crazy or extreme and we do hair and make up to go with it. It was so much fun. I got to help with some of the hair, learning how to curl hair better from Anita too!
But, on the way down I was so paranoid that I would take a wrong turn and end up in Wyoming because I have never driven down south this far before, and to a place I am unfamiliar with. Amber and I made it there safely after what seemed longer than 5 hours....it was still a lot of fun, we love to laugh. (Who doesn't?)
When I have more time I will post the amazing photo Kara took of me from my turn in the photo shoot. Everyone looked so fantastic!! I can't wait to do it again.

On another note! I got to play some Frisbee with my ward! Yay! I hardly ever get the chance to do things with my ward, especially when I was in Ephraim, but I am determined to change that! Besides that, I got to go to my Dad's last concert tonight, he has sung with the Wasatch Chorale for 20 years. It was a really good concert and I am very glad I was able to go with my mom and sister. My dad was laid off from his job earlier this week, so things around here will be a little different but the same. Its just going to be a test my family will go though, and we will make it because the Lord will always provide a way for those who have faith. :)

Well...I have a farewell to get to tomorrow and my own ward to attend, with an alert mind. :D
Ciao

I'm 19 today!! Woot!

Well, I woke up a little early, and my mom brought me breakfast in bed. :) Then I finished watching Sense and Sensability, which I had started watching yesterday. I then went to Intistitute with my friends Tom and Kyle, it was really good. I have never had my eye water so much during a lesson, but I understand a little better of the pre-mortal life and life afterwards. And that is going to be so amazing, its something I look forward to. Then I went to lunch at Subway with Tom and Kyle. Learned how to play some WOW (World of Warcraft) card game they have been playing. Then a friend of mine from college dropped by and gave me a present he made. I thought it was very nice of him to take the time to create something for me. And then I replied to my friends birthday comments to me on facebook and decided to blog about my day. :)
Well...I am going to have a party with my family tonight so it should be really good. I'm excited. If I get the chance I will blog after I come back from Blanding this weekend. Woot!
Peace out!
~Amanda
