My wish
for
you..

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

May all your dreams stay big

It's time to sink or swim Sammy...

Wow... what a whirlwind summer. Where did it even go? I can't believe how fast summer has come and gone, when I swear it just barely started like last week. In some ways I'm sad, but others not so much. I'm ready for some new adventures.. and let's face it. I am SICK of working. 2 jobs is not how summer should be spent. I mean seriously.. I am SO white, it's depressing! In other ways I sad to see summer go. Don't get me wrong I am very excited to move back to E town! but I am also very nervous. Not for the college scene, roommates or boys but for my actual classes. I have a lot on my plate this semester. and I am nervous!! Failuuure is not in my dictionary. But still, Math.... bleh!! Just one more semester of it and I'm done forever! :) So happy about that!

This summer has been crazy. Lots of life changing things have been happening. and I'm just taking em as it is served to me. Moving back home was... well idk what word to use, besides interesting.. I really did miss my family while I lived on my own but it was very hard to move back home after been out on my own. My brother is getting married this week, and I'm going to be an aunt very soon! For the first time and I am so excited! My best friend is leaving me for the married world soon! Dee FINALLY popped the question! I'm so excited for Syd and him :) Life is changing. It's seriously in fast forward and i can't find the remote to press pause.. But that is life and I'm learning to accept it.

Letting go isn't about giving up. It's realizing and accepting that some things weren't meant to be...

What's done is done. And there's nothing else that can really be said about it.. And honestly for the first time in so long I feel completely content. I feel free, like nothing is holding me back.

I'm ready.

They say a picture speaks a thousand words... Well for me, a song must speak a million!

Right now I love...

From where you are by Lifehouse

"So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us world's apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
So far away from where you are
I'm standing underneath the stars
And I wish you were here
I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me
Yeah I miss you
And I wish you were here"

September by Daughtry

How the time passed away? All the trouble that we gave
And all those days we spent out by the lake
Has it all gone to waste? All the promises we made
One by one they vanish just the same
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear
So we made our way by finding what was real
Now the days are so long that summer's moving on
We reach for something that's already gone
Of all the things I still remember
Summer's never looked the same
The years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September we'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end" (I love this song.. everything I hear it I can't help but have a flood of memories going through my mind)


Brian's almost at his 8 month mark! Crazy to think that much time has really passed!
Even if I'm not "waiting" for him, even if things work out differently then we hoped, even if we don't end up together.. I still miss him so much and I can't wait to have my best friend home!

PROCRASTINATION!

I'm blogging when I should be doing my math review, studying for Bio final or packing!

Goodness.. What a crazy couple of weeks filled with tons of laughs, waffells at midnight and memories I'll never forget!! This last month of college has definitely been the best yet and I am surprised to say that I am going to miss Snow so much!! I have made amazing friends here that I know would do anything, friends that are amazing examples and have made such a huge impact on my life in a short amount of time! With only a couple more days left at Snow, I am starting to realize how much I am going to miss them!

SO many amazing memories this school year! I can't believe how fast it went by! Feels like just yesterday was the first week of school! I've changed so much this year and I don't regret a single second of it! I've made friends, lost friends and found myself! ---that last part is basically the most important! (Hence why it's bolded) I really feel like this year I have become the person I have always wanted to be, but there's still room for improvement! I had so many great adventures this year and met so many people that I could go on and on.. but a picture describes a 1000 words. So here's a couple grand!

As much as I don't want this year to end, I CAN'T WAIT FOR SUMMER!! I'm sure this summer will be one I will never forget! Can't wait for all the adventures! I really want to start making a bucket list of everything want to do!


p.s Syd Mon... I can't wait to see youuuuuu!!!

Let's be realistic, you have no idea how much I miss you

Dear Cassidy Rice,

Aka my cheese nummy buddy! Words can't express how much I miss you! And the stupid thing is we live in the same house. I feel like things have changed so much lately and I hate it. I started out this school year with you being my best friend and I feel like recently we've really grown apart and it makes me so sad! I know that since being at college we've both made new friends and you started dating Matt which is part of the reason we don't spend that much time together anymore, but I hate the thought of leaving this school year not being best friends anymore. I hope you know how much I love you and how thankful I am that you are in my life! I can't thank you enough for this last year of us living together. You may not know this but you have been such an amazing example to me! Thank you so much for giving me a calling, haha even though I begged you not to, I'm truly so thankful for it! And thank you for coming to the temple with me for my first time, there is no one else I would of rather had there by my side! Thank you for all the amazing memories we've had before college and this last year! Thanks for always being there for me and letting me whine to you about all my boy troubles! Thanks for always giving me the best advice and always being there to listen! I'm sorry for switching your mattress for your box spring, and that one time I made an event on Facebook about you and Matt getting married... heehee! :) Also, thanks for forgiving me! haha
You truly are my best friend, and I hope you know that! I hope this summer we can reconnect and spend tons of time together under the sun with tanning oil or sitting in C.J's!
I hope you know that whatever may happen next year, us living together or not! I hope we stay friends forever because I never want to imagine what my life would be like with you!!

Love you so much!!
-Running Bear Best Friends Forever!
