How can I keep from Singing?

Hey Y'all,

Well, we had a great week down in Las Vegas(no, I did NOT get married) and the family has another memory to add to our ever-growing treasure chest of great times, this time with more little ones and another in-law. Fun times, right?

Obviously we went to see the Bellagio Fountains, right before hitting up Cesar's Palace. That, my friends, is a city inside a hotel. However, it is a marketplace city, which I don't like very much. Oh well, the view was beautiful with a sky-lit ceiling that actually had a similarity to the sky.

Now, I have to ask a question. How many of you have ever had a day/week/month/year when every song you listen to seems applicable to your life? What I mean is this: this week as each and every song I've listened to(which is well over a 1000 songs) has the tendency to put me in the singer's shoes and I feel as though I'm singing about my life in that moment. Every song from Taylor Swift's last pop hit to the sweetest hymn in the middle of a Sacrament Meeting. From a grand love song to the best of evil-speakers; they all seem to apply to my life right now. So, I'm asking what you all think about that. Or just share your favorite song. Whichever. :)

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
