Dear Mother...

Thank you. Thank you for all the kisses and band aides and sack lunches. For the years of giving me rides,  and help with homework, and advice. And for the numerous hours spent listening to me gripe about all sorts of things. Thank you for supporting me in all my crazy ideas, for letting me dream crazy dreams, and for showering me with loves. Thank you for hugs. For the countless doctor's appointments and sick days and all you did to make me feel better. Thank you for loving me at my lowest. And for teaching me what it means to have a testimony of the gospel. Thank you for your help with school projects, and for coming to all my sports events. Thank you for your example of how to be a good wife and mother. For teaching me what it means to love unconditionally, how to be selfless, and how to patient. Thank you for teaching me how to cook, how to sew, how to laugh, how to live, how to love. On this Mother's Day, I want to say thank you for all that you do for me and our family each and every day. Thank you for being my mom. Thank you for being you. I love you.

I love music. It is everything good and happy and right with the world and at the same time can say even the saddest words with such elegance and grace. It can express my thoughts and emotions in way that I know I never could. It is the life-blood of my soul. It makes me happy. And it goes beyond anything I can explain in plain words...which is kinda the point. For me, country music (among a few other things) makes me feel like I am home, no matter what is going on in my life. It is simply fantastic, in fact two of my favorite quotes come from the movie August Rush. They are... "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars."  AND  "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales..." And if those two don't say it all then I don't know what will. They are simply perfect in my opinion, and are completel...

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...
