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. :)

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American." With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly. Am I really proud to be an American? Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

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...
