To Those Who Serve, Thank You!

First I just want to take the time to thank those men and women who serve (or have served) our great country. Anyone in any branch of the Military, know how grateful I am for you! The sacrifice of you and your loved ones is beyond anything I have ever been asked to do, and I will forever be grateful for your service! On this day, and everyday, know that you are appreciated, know that you are loved, and know that you are in my prayers. Thank you!
Second. Being a grown up is SO over rated! I have so many things I want to do this summer and instead I feel like I am working my life away. NOT.COOL. Okay so it is good to have the money that I need to pay for things like rent and food and gas and school. But right now it is just a bummer. Also I am missing Logan so much! I miss people, the mountain air, the outdoorsy things, and just the atmosphere that only seems to be found in Logan. There are some people I miss so bad it hurts. That's the worst part. But I am here just working and working and working. Don't get me wrong I love my family, they are amazing, but I don't even see them that much, I am gone all the time. The other day my sister jokingly asked my mom "Hey, has Kylee moved out, I haven't seen her in like three days."......sad but true.
Third is this, I am so incredibly grateful for the people that have been put into my life. I feel so blessed. I cannot even explain everything that I feel right now. This is a crazy time of my life and I am just so lucky to be surrounded by people who love me, near and far. And just knowing that helps me so much. Each and everyone of us faces challenges in our lives. They are there to test us, but never meant to defeat us. I know that our gracious Father in Heaven will never give us a trail that we cannot handle. He is there to help us. And even if you don't believe the same things that I do, you are still being blessed and your trials will be but for a short moment. We also don't understand what trials others are going through. Something that was easy for us to get through may be really hard for someone else, and vice verse. We are here to help, to love, to support each other as we face the trials specifically designed for us. That is how we grow. I am grateful for this process. Grateful for the growth that comes from my own trials, as well as the growth that comes from helping others through the challenges they face. And I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who gives trails to help refine me into something beautiful!:)

Life-Blood of My Soul

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...

“People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.”

Seems like there’s always someone who disapproves, they’ll judge it like they know about me and you. I was lucky like a four leaf clover.  All you need is love, love, Love is all you need.  Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able, you know, the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet. Fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers, so mothers be good to your daughters, too. Freedom, well, that's just some people talking. Your prison is walking through this world all alone.   I said, “leave,” but all I really want is you. Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, b ut I realized some bigger dreams of mine. On my knees and out of luck,  I look up.   The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.  Don't test the ones you love, it will only tear us down, if you want to feel alive then learn to love your ground. You call me up again...

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...
