From Paris with LOVE

Here are some very important facts I learned while my stay in Paris:

1. JET LAG KILLS!!!
2. French men have great taste in shoes.
3. French babies are super fashionable. Weird, but cute.
4. Try not to lock yourself out of your luggage. Unless you are traveling with someone who can pick locks. Phew!
5. It doesn't matter if you can't speak the language if you're a cute girl, you'll just be offered free drinks......haha
6. Even if you're terrified of heights, climbing to the top of the Eiffle tower is SO worth it.
7. The French apparently don't believe in air conditioning.
8. Make sure you're with someone who has a map and a watch.
9. Don't confuse spanish "Si" with french "Wi" or else you'll get funny looks.
10. Be prepared to have sore feet at the end of the day because you walk EVERY WHERE.

Bon Appetit!

Stuck In My Head.....

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Happy Janice Terry Day

Today is Janice Terry's birthday and she is one of my bestest besties. In honor of her 21st birth I want to enlighten you all with the story of how we met and yes, it's one of my favorites so I tell it a lot.

It all began when my family moved to Willard 17 years ago. It was our first Sunday in the new ward and as we were walking in I saw Janice and her family hanging uo their jackets. Janice had on a pretty pink dress and I remember thinking, "Oooo pretty dress! I want to be friends with her!" Then my mother proceeded to drop me off in primary and I instantly started bawling when she walked away. I remember sitting on the teachers lap crying, with Janice sitting next to me holding my hand and saying, "It's ok, don't cry. I'll be your friend." BAM!! Instant new best friend and it's been wonderful ever since! Cheers :)

It's In The Script

I have a theory. Just like an actor has a script for the stage, we as humans have a script for life. Everyone's is different and personal, but it's how we live our lives and what we live by. Sometimes life happens and the script gets edited or even erased. But that's ok because it's in the script. Other times we may not understand the blocking or stage directions given to us in the script, but again it's ok. Even though at that time we can't see the bigger picture, it's apart of the journey that gets us to the grand finale and the final curtain. And trust me, it's worth all the risk.

This is my script: 1st Cor. 10:13. Everything in my life has come back to this scripture and it never ceases to amaze me how true it is. I may not understand why or how life is, but I know that no matter what, as long as I trust in the author of my script, I will be ok. I will be free. Because it's in the script.
