My Very First Blog Post!

Hello to the probably 2 people who will read this! Well...I've decided to create a blog of my own because A) My amazing roommates are all getting blogs for various reasons and I love jumping on the bandwagon, and B) I've always been terrible at keeping a journal/keeping in touch with people, so I figured maybe this can be a bit of a substitute for all that.

SO anyway. If you're wondering what's with the title of my blog, it's named after an amazing song by Switchfoot (a group that I admire so much [and they're incredible live, just fyi]) and for some reason the phrase just seems to epitomize me. If you listen to the song you might understand the choice a little bit more. But then again, sometimes people don't really understand me at all. Maybe that's what this blog is for! So here you go, world! This is me doing my very best to give you a peek into my crazy mind.

And now we dive in! Today I have been filled with overwhelming gratitude. For everything! Incredible (and by that I mean INCREDIBLE, unbelievably amazing, magnificent, any word will do) friends/sisters/roommates, an equally incredible family, my church (ahhhh, I love it. As the illustrious Jenessa Nielsen always says, "Church is true."), attending the best college in the world (I may be a bit biased, but I really don't think it gets better than this), the list goes on and on. I have grown more as a person in the past two weeks just being at BYU than I think I did throughout my entire high school career...and I truly believe that the people currently in my life were sent to me by the man upstairs, because there's no way that this is all a coincidence.

For example, my roommates. I hate this saying, but I can't think of anything better right now, so I'll just say it..these girls are the cream of the crop (honestly though, as far as I know there is no "cream" to a crop, so what's with that saying?). They are quite literally a Godsend. They've been sent to me at a time in my life when I needed good, strong, independent, BEAUTIFUL, and mind-blowingly FUN people to look up to. I really will never be able to express how grateful I am. So I guess today's topic is gratitude! Always a good one, I think.

But alas, it's 1:30, so I should probably sign off. In the meantime, I'll leave behind a song of the day, because music is pretty much my life. So if you're bored, check out "Without You Now" by Jon McLaughlin. Seriously guys, this man in INSANELY TALENTED. Listening to his music makes me want to melt through the floor...this song is off is brand spankin' new album. Every song on that thing is to die for! Alright sorry, I'm a world-famous rambler. I really am signing off now. Goodnight to whoever reads this! More later :) <3
