life lately.

You know, I haven't really done a post lately about, well, life. I have posted a lot of recipes, music, and random snapshots. But, maybe you want to know what my life is like these days (or maybe not...that's awkward).

But. Basically. Life is wonderful. I feel so happy. It's amazing how time really does help heal. I never believed that cliche saying...until I had to apply it & test it in my own life. These past two days have been especially beautiful, with weather in the 60s. I went running yesterday in shorts & a T-shirt. I wore sandals to school. I got up today at 5:30 a.m. to help make a birthday breakfast for my roommate. And I'm still smiling.

This is my friend Keith after the stake talent show last night.  He's one of the biggest supporters of my music :)

I competed in the stake talent show last night & had a blast feeling like Taylor Swift when people kept approaching me to talk about about my song as I walked to the back of the room after. It was an adrenaline rush for me.

I've been [trying] to plan my summer and have an interview next week for an internship. I got a letter in the mail yesterday from my best friend & couldn't stop smiling. I got an A on my theory midterm that was practically giving me an ulcer, an A on my Spanish presentation that was making me feel like throwing up, and an A on my comm graphics midterm that I had no desire to finish.

I'm learning patience in many aspects. I'm mixing patterns & trying new hairdos. My trust in God is increasing. I'm discovering what really matters in life. It's the dinner dates with my aunt & talks until 2 in the morning with a roommate. It's the birds chirping outside my window because it's March. It's temple trips on a Tuesday. It's catching up with a best friend for three hours on a Saturday afternoon (true story).

And that's life lately.
