It's definitely time for me to blog again. I have to admit, I don't really have anything exciting to write about, but I don't want to stay quiet any longer! You can't make me!! ;) I may have to write another song. Bwahahahaha..
School has been going well. My classes are great. I especially enjoy Music History. Now, for any of you who knew me in high school know very well that I hate history and it's my weak spot. The big difference here is my teacher. I look forward to class every other day. He is a wonderful storyteller and knows practically everything there is to know about any composer. It is a-ma-zing. I feel privileged to be a part of his class. I'm in two choirs at the moment. Chamber (which is smaller) and Masterworks (which has about 80 people). They're both fun in their own ways. Chamber is more enjoyable for me because we can really get down to the nitty gritty and be spectacular (assuming everyone works hard enough). That has been an issue, but is being remedied.
I have wonderful friends out here in Utah. I don't know what I would do without them! Some I've known since I moved out here and others only a short time, but they are as dear to me as family. Of course no one can replace my family, so don't you worry. :D
I am currently working on taking more pictures of myself and others. I'll have to enlist a few good people to take pictures of me since I suck at taking pictures of myself. The last time I tried it took at least 25 shots to find one I would settle with. Not too keen on trying that again. Some time soon, I'll have new pictures for everyone to look at.
You'll be happy to know that I have lost a whole pant size (and maybe more). It is so exciting! And the best/worst (depending on who reads this) part is that I haven't even been trying to lose weight! I can tell you my secret though...if you consider it a secret. I have started eating a good breakfast every morning and have trained myself to drink at least 5 bottles of water a day. But.......I think the biggest contributor has been happiness.
I can genuinely say that I am happier than I have ever been in my life! I am exactly where I want to be and I am the person I should be at this point in my life. I am striving to be better and better each and every day and my relationship with my Heavenly Father has gotten so close. I have a very strong, sincere testimony of the gospel and I would not trade it for anything in the world.
Yeah, there may be things in that happen that I can't control, but I just don't care about the trivial worldly things that occur. Ok, I'll reword that.. I care, but I don't fear it. That's what I meant. There is absolutely no reason in this world to fear what man can do to you. The only things that matter are your relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, your testimony, the person you become, your relationship with your family and loved ones, and how you treat every person you encounter.
I know some of you might be thinking..."Man, it's about time she figured this out.", but that's ok. I might have taken a later bus, but I'm finally there with the rest of you. I am so grateful for every one of you. You've been there for me, you've been the best examples, and you've loved me for who I am and the choices I've made. It has made a world of difference for me and I wouldn't trade any of you either. Each of you hold a beautful spot in my heart.
I hope you're all doing well and you know I think about you all the time. I love you!
So glad to hear how well you are doing. Thanks for coming over last night. It was great!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we all move at different paces and figure things out differently. Thank you for sharing with us. :)
Yay for happiness! Darn...forgot what else I was going to say. Darned ADD! Oh yeah...who's your professor for music history? Hill? I loved him, is he still around. He has some pretty good jokes. Well, the one about the drunk man is anyways...I'll have to tell it to you if you haven't heard it....
ReplyDeleteAmy, I had tears in my eyes reading your post! I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am for you! The bitter things in life we go through just make the sweeter things that much sweeter. I love you!
ReplyDeleteAmy I am so happy to hear you are doing well. You sound so happy and in a great place. You are such a great person, now if we could only get you to move closer, hmmm.
