my thoughts tonight,

today i began moving into my new home.
which i love.
with all of my heart,
and my soul too.
i've never been more impressed with people.
people are good.
like people are amazing.
they came from all over just to help us move.
it was so nice to feel their love and also the love of the Savior through their service.
"inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me."
good work boys.
good work girls.
and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
truly.

here's a little snippet of my thoughts tonight.
well, it's 1 in the morning right now.
and in case you're wondering why i'm up so late,
it's because i think too much to sleep sometimes.
correction: pretty much all the time.
and then don't worry,
i have dreams the whole night,
about what i've been thinking about.
and so,
i'm beginning to think my brain never sleeps.
poor thing.
anyways,
tonight, i went and watched a movie at brother Casper's (i guess bishop now. :D)
some of the young men in my new ward were over there and asked me to come over,
so i did.
obviously...wow.
but it was the movie inception.
((i loved it))
the greatest part about it though was brother casper pulling the gospel into it constantly,
i felt the spirit!
in a movie.
does it get any better?
no.
and it helped me to get things into an eternal perspective.
and it made me want to be better,
and it gave me hope that i can be better :)
ahhh. inspiring :)
anyways,
afterwards, i had to take the long way home.
that happens when i need to think,
and that movie makes you need to think.
and long drives allow you to space and freedom to think your thoughts.
anyways,
i began my drive thinking about that movie,
and thinking about existence,
and listening to no music at all.
then i turned on a new cd my dear cousin, emily, made for me.
i listened to this beautiful, happy little song.
i wanted to cry,
it made me think about getting older,
and getting married,
and dancing,
and how wonderful the days ahead are going to be.
then came the spiritual part of the night.
i turned on the christmas tunes.
because soon they'll be over.
and that makes me feel sad.
anyways,
i heard "Oh Holy Jesus" playing...on the radio.
on the radio?
yes.
i LOVE this song.
at first i was confused.
because i've only heard it on our motab cd.
and it's not a christmas cd.
it's just a church cd.
but as i thought of it more,
it couldn't be more appropriate.
that song is just a testimony of the Savior and of all the amazing things he has done,
and of the gratitude we should have for Him year round.
especially this season.

and so,
i don't want to be in anyones face,
but i just can't help telling you what i feel.
and it's my blog,
so i'll tell you what i want. :)

Christ did everything for me,
and every day He does more for me.

and i just need everyone who reads this to know,
that i love my Savior.
and that i know He loves me too.

and that's all you really need to know about me.


love, laura

it's almost here.

CHRISTMAS

is in

fOuR
4
FOUR
four
1,2,3,4

more days!!!!


love, laura

and there you go.

words of wisdom from james morrison's

love is hard.


love takes hostages and gives them pain,
gives someone the power to hurt you again
and again...

it kicks so hard,
it breaks your bones.
cuts so deep,
it hits your soul.
tears your skin
and it makes your blood flow.
it's better that we know,
that love is hard,
love is hard,
if it was easy it wouldn't mean nothing, no.
and nothing easy is ever worth it :)
so patience is key.
love, laura

can't understand.

some things,
i'll never understand.
like men.

and you deserve better,
than men you can't understand.

and here's the song of the day.

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

jar of hearts - Christina Perri

i love you all.
thanks for the support this weekend.
i've never felt so blessed to know so many great people :)
tori mason let me fall asleep at her house on friday and wake her up and cry when i had dreams.
jamie let me borrow her ipod so i could rage with taylor swift.
hannah and ari stayed by me all night last night.
ari raged for me.
mikelle has been my constant texting companion.
natalie and jamie and tori took me to write letters.
i love you all.
so much more than you know.
:)

love, laura

to be honest.

bloggers.
i gotta let it fly.
to be honest,
tomorrow is a day i have not been looking forward to.
in the morning i have a monster anatomy test.
i was just at tori's for forever trying to study,
but i'm still scared i won't pass.
also, it's the last day before break.
do you know what that means?
yes.
it means it's the longest day of the year.
also,
that assembly,
that's all i have to say about that.
also,
i have work.
blehhhhhhh.
but as i've been thinking of this,
i realized that i have so much to look forward to tomorrow.
like,
PASSING my anatomy test (i can hope right? :))
like,
finishing school for TWO WEEKS!
like,
going to an assembly that raises money for families in need.
i just needed to change my focus today.
and we'll see how it flies tomorrow.

also,
today i met tori mason's family,
and to be honest,
they are the greatest people.
i am already in love with them and i barely even know them!
you can see where she gets all of her amazing-ness.
she's another one you should get to know.
you'll love her.

also,
today we had a seminary assembly.
i was touched by every message.
i love the Savior.
and i love being able to know that He loves me enough to inspire someone to share something with me in seminary.
it's amazing that He can know me personally.
and to be honest i don't know how it happens.
but to be completely honest,
i just KNOW that He does.

and tonight i went to a play with mikelle.
it was awesome.
it was so inspiring to do something different.
and to be honest, mikelle is also inspiring.
i'm so blessed to know these people.

and to be honest,
today i want to grow up.
and today i want to remain a child.
and today i want to run away.
and today i want to stay where i am.
and today i want tomorrow to be over.
and when it's over,
let's celebrate.
k?

love, laura

thank you j.

on monday night,
i talked to jamie for hours in her car.
we talked about the future,
and young men who seem to occupy our lives,
(pathetic. :))
but she's amazing.
and she gave me some tips that i needed to make it through this week. here's the top three.
first,
no matter what, if you put Christ first, you'll be ok.
second,
be grateful for all the little things going right in your life. sometimes the big things are a little off, but just focus on the things that are making you happy.
third,
write letters. even if you never send them, just write it. get it out of your system.

this last one is incredible.
i tried it today in fact.
i have a journal/notebook thing that ari got for me when she went to new york earlier this year.
i keep it in my backpack and whenever i have time during classes i write down my thoughts and draw pictures.
it has saved my life many times,
i recommend getting one if you don't have one.
anyways,
today, i wrote a letter,
it wasn't long,
it wasn't fancy,
i just let out the things that i never could let out to anyone,
because no one is going to see it,
it's just me and the journal.
i wrote things that i wish i could say,
i wrote things that i would never say,
i wrote the most honest letter of my life.
and it was a moment to just be honest with myself,
and honest with the person i was writing it to,
even though he wasn't even there.
and i love honest moments :)
try it people.
it works!
also,
try talking to jamie,
she's amazing.
that's all.

love, laura

dear you...

dear you,
hello there,
today i came home,
and i wished to see your car there.
don't ask me why.
i don't know.
that never happens.
but,
it's just one of those things that i wished for today.
love, laura

dear santa,
i want a lot of money,
not for myself,
but for my mama.
i want her to stop working so hard,
and i want her to be happy.
maybe you can find a man for her too.
love, laura

dear earth,
i love you dearly,
and i normally don't like the snow,
but come on now,
it's december.
and i'm ready for a little bit.
and then you can take a break for the rest of the year,
i'm just dreaming of a white christmas.
that's all.
love, laura

dear school,
thanks for getting interesting these days,
it's helping me a lot,
keep it up.
love, laura

dear friends,
you're the greatest.

i'm so blessed to know so many great people.
love, laura

no longer homeless!

this week i got a surprise!
a big surprise :)
we got a house!!!!
finally.
and if you didn't know,
for a little while now,
we've been living with my grandparents.
it's been very nice of them,
i've been grateful for the experience.
but not having our own place has made me really grateful.
things that i used to take for granted,
i'm gonna be so happy to have again.
like,
my own bed,
not living out of boxes,
like being able to be as loud as we want,
and not having to worry about everything being so clean all the time.
and putting up what decorations we want,
and painting the walls whatever color we want.
and like having my own room,
(which by the way has bead board on the walls :))
i'm just so excited!
so excited.
we are so lucky to have gotten this blessing.
it's going to be wonderful!
and it as wood floors!
which i love!
and it's so bright!
which i love.
i took jamie and tori through it last week,
they were so nice,
they told me they had chills.
and i did too.
i love it.
and i love all of you,
and i'm grateful for everything!
ahhh :)

love, laura

love song of the day :)

i need you now,
and i just can't tell you why,
caught up in you,
i'm caught up in you,
untouchable burning brighter than the sun,
and when you're close i feel like coming undone,
in the middle of the night when i'm in this dream,
it's like a million little stars spelling out your name,
you gotta come on,
come on,
say that we'll be together,
come on,
come on,
little taste of heaven.

-untouchable, taylor swift.

dancing, and other amazings.

last night was a basketball game,
and after that there was a dance,
i like both,
a lot a lot :)
i forget how fun basketball games are.
i think it's the funnest sport to watch.
p.s. i'm now a member of the A team :)
anyways,
dances could be one of my favorite things,
i love dancing.
i'm awful,
but i think i was probably a dancer in another life,
and that's good enough for me :)
but, i am awful,
but, i do still have some killer moves,
and,
i'm sore today from it.
how embarrassing.
but,
on a more thoughtful note,
the dance made me really think about something,
have you noticed how much thoughts go through your head all the time?
like who you should dance with?
or who you should dance around?
or what you think about this song?
or who you were with when you hear it.
or how his sweater is cute,
and how your so sweaty and you hope you aren't whatever stinks so bad,
or is he looking at me?
sometimes, it makes my head hurt a little bit.


and here is another amazing individual.'
michelle perry,
she is fantastic.
she has red hair, which i'm rather fond of.
probably one of the prettiest girls i've ever seen.
she's honest about herself,
and i find that refreshing.
she's not trying to be anyone else,
she's just michelle,
and she's more than happy about that :)
one day i told her about my family,
and she pulled me into the library and let me cry,
and guess what?
she cried with me.
i'm so grateful for her in my life :)
just another blessing!

love, laura

confessions,

some confessions from the heart,

i like calling people by their full names "jacob, steven, matthew etc."
because i think it makes what i'm saying to them more personal for some reason.

i dislike how facebook changes my :) into a big obnoxious yellow smiley.
it bothers me.
i like them small and flipped on their side.

i like families.
and i really like people talking about their families.
because it says a lot about a person,
i think.

i like feeling like i'm going to cry.
i used to hate it,
but now i like how it gets things out of you.

if i like a song,
i will repeat it at least 20 times.
and if you think i'm exaggerating,
ok. 19 times.

every day when i drive home from work,
i go the longest way possible.
all by myself,
and sometimes i turn the radio off,
and pray out loud.
i wear blue eyeliner under my eyes most the time.
i do this because i think it makes them look blue,
but i don't have blue eyes.
in fact i'm not sure what color my eyes are.
but on my drivers license it says they are hazel,
but they are blue and green..ish.
is that hazel?
also,
in case you were wondering,
brown eyes are my favorite.
the dark-almost-black-brown.
i like to feel my heart beat,
except for when i slam my fingers and i can feel it in them.
that's not fun.

love, laura

:)

today i am happy.
so many things have been fixed inside me this week.
for the past few months i've had a few problems that were really bothering me.
and you know it can be hard to fix something,
when you don't necessarily have anything to move on from.
and you just feel confused,
and tired,
and hungry,
and like all you want to do is look up conference talks that make you cry. :)
and i guess that is a good thing that comes from it.
but on friday, a lot of things got cleared up for me.
and it was beautiful :)
and now i feel at peace!
and that's the best thing i could ever want.
and i'm so grateful that Heavenly Father did it on His own time.
because now i feel so blessed to have the peace.
so so blessed.
and today at church,
i felt the spirit so strong :)
i love these times.
when you realize that God loves you,
and you can see His hand in your life :)
and i'll never ever deny that His has been in mine.
even when it's been so hard.

love, laura :)

Be assured that there is a safe harbor. You can find peace amidst the
storms that threaten you. Your Heavenly Father—who knows when even a
sparrow falls—knows of your heartache and suffering. He loves you and
wants the best for you. Never doubt this. He has promised the faithful peace even in their trials and
tribulations. -Josph B. Wirthlin

Christmas Spirit

i just read this talk by President Monson called "In search of the Christmas Spirit"
and i loved this :)

"I am the Christmas Spirit.
I enter the home of poverty, causing pale-faced children to open their eyes wide in pleased wonder.
I cause the miser’s clutched hand to relax and thus paint a bright spot on his soul.
I cause the aged to renew their youth and to laugh in the glad old way.
I keep romance alive in the heart of childhood and brighten sleep with dreams woven of magic.
I cause eager feet to climb dark stairways with filled baskets, leaving behind them hearts amazed at the goodness of the world.
I cause the prodigal to pause a moment on his wild, wasteful way, and send to anxious love some little token that releases glad tears—tears which wash away the hard lines of sorrow.
I enter dark prison cells, reminding scarred manhood of what might have been, and pointing forward to good days yet to come.
I come softly into the still, white home of pain; and lips that are too weak to speak just tremble in silent, eloquent gratitude.
In a thousand ways I cause the weary world to look up into the face of God, and for a little moment forget the things that are small and wretched.
I am the Christmas Spirit."

i'll be home for christmas.

as you can tell from earlier entries,
Chirstmas music is my absolute favorite kind of music :)
but currently,
country music is my second favorite kind of music.
anyways,
rascal flats has this AMAZING version of "i'll be home for christmas"
really.
go to youtube right now and look it up.
i'll be home for Christmas happens to be my favorite christmas song :)
do you want to know why?
ok i'll tell you.
when i was little, i was 100% posititve that i was going to be a movie star one day.
not just a movie star,
i was gonna be a big deal!
living in New York and paparazi all over and everything!
i wanted it all.
i used to tell my mom about it.
being the amazing mom that she is, she'd just smile and say,
"yeah i know laur" and i really thought she believed in me :)
she's awesome.
anyways,
i used to tell her that one day when i grew up and was famous, i wouldn't live with her anymore.
but i promised her that every year i would send her a Christmas card with this song playing in it.
then she could be sure that i'd be home to spend Christmas with her.
it's a funny little story.
but i think of it every time i hear this song,
and how much i love my mom,
and about dreams,
and about my future family,
and about snow,
and presents under the tree,
and about how Christmas is the only day of the whole year where you can just be home with your family, and not want anything more.
and isn't that what its all about?
it's funny as you get older how holidays mean different things to you than they did before.
this year is my last one at home. and i'm grateful for the season.
not because of all the hustle and bustle and shopping (although i love all that a lot),
but because i have a family who loves me.
because i have friends who care.
and most importantly because i have a Savior who understands.
i love this season!

love, laura

seeing old friends & making new ones.

this past week was Thanksgiving break :)
it was fantastic!
probably one of the best breaks i've had yet.
one of the best things about breaks is that people come home from college!
i got to hang out with a few of my very good friends from last year.
robby lee, brian vawdry, jeff nelson, and richard flores :)
it was great to see what they are doing and how they have changed.
also to see how they are the same.
people are great :)
really great.

Anyways,
i also have been making new friends this past little while.
isn't it weird, that you can see someone in the hall everyday for years,
and never even think anything of it,
and then they can turn out to be one of your greatest friends?
there's so many wonderful people around us!
just as Sister Dalton says,
"every person you meet can enrich your life"
all we have to do is open up our mouths and say "hello" :)

I've been having a bit of a rough go these past few weeks or so,
and all i can say is i'm grateful for missionaries!
i emailed my brother last night (today is his p-day)
and he wrote me back today the most amazing letter!
just what i needed.
that seems to happen to me a lot. :)

my name is laura, and i am so blessed. :)

love, laura

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

and today i feel.

today i feel grateful.
probably because i had seminary first period and we talked about gratitude.
probably because thanksgiving is this week.
and probably because i am finally on break. :)
but i'm just simply grateful.
i have every reason in the world to lift my head up and smile.
and that's actually all i have to say today.

love, laur

for hannah kroes.

yesterday hannah and i went for a drive.
i love people like hannah.
i was feeling sad and i texted her and said "hannah, you inspire me. let's talk on thursday"
she said
"ok perfect :)"
and it changed my life.
we're now a team.
so i feel kind of like we can change the world.

Lately i am so amazed by how many amazing people i know.
i am so blessed.

here's a few of my greatest blessings..


I'm so grateful for Hannah and her strength. She makes me happy :) what a blessing she is.

i'm so grateful for Jamie Szabo. she makes me laugh. really laugh. and she's my best friend. she makes me want to be better. and she gives me hope that one day i'll find a husband hahaha love you J :)

i'm so grateful for hannah denney. what an amazing girl. with hannah i can dance ;) and she may know more about me than nearly anyone. that's a very good possibility actually. and i know i can tell her anything.

i'm so grateful for ari kokol. really i don't know where i'd be without her. at least once a week i show up at her house uninvited and stay till the wee hours of the morning complaining about my pathetic teenage life. and she stays with me. she even pulls over when i need to barf on the side of the road after my heart is broken. i do that sometimes...thanks r :)

i'm so grateful for mikelle pyne. we'll live by each other someday. and we'll have children who will be friends. and we'll still save each other every day. won't that be nice? yes. she also gives me rides home from school. and lets me use her phone number to vent to all the time. i love mikelle.

i'm so grateful for shelbie shill. she played me the piano and sang to me on a very sad day. she also let me try and beat her gameboy color. i didn't succeed. but it was very nice of her.

i'm so grateful for natalie cameron. she's my kindred spirit. and she does the nicest things for everyone.

i'm grateful for tori mason. she's a new friend. but i feel like we've been friends forever :) she lets me sit next to her on the bench seat in her car. :D

i'm grateful for janene paulsen. she went with me to the movie :) our brothers are mission companions. and we'll probably be sisters through marriage someday? yeah.

i'm so grateful for whitney mcclleland (sorry not sure how to spell it). she is fantastic. and a hoot :) and sometimes i think we're a lot alike :)

i'm so grateful for bre brunt. what an amazing human. in every way :) one day she'll be my nurse and deliver my children...awkward. but true.

i'm grateful for tiffany palmer. she's wonderful. and i wish her every happiness. :) she makes me laugh so hard.

i'm grateful for my mama. she's amazing. in every way. for real.

i'm grateful for all my family, and for anyone else i missed :) i'll put you in later. i just don't want this post to be too long.
and it already is.

so i guess i'll leave it there.
love, laura


Wednesday, November 17, 2010

sometimes,

i've been having one of those days,
when you wake up and you feel kind of only 1/3 of the way full,
which isn't right.
anyways,
have you ever thought something was so real and so right,
(and maybe you still think it is)
and then you realize that someone thinks it was all just a mistake.
it kinda makes you feel empty,
a lot.
i don't know what else to say about that,
and it probably doesn't make sense,
but i had to let that out.
so thanks :)
but that's the amazing thing about time.
time and a little faith can fix anything.
that's not true, it takes A LOT of faith.
but it does work :)

...
yesterday afternoon i was so lucky to go to the Harry Potter movie.
it really moved me!
i can't really say why, but movies really affect me.
a lot.
and as you all know, it was only part 1 of the last book,
another thing you should know about me?

i almost never read the book if i know a movie is coming out,
no, it's not that i don't like to read
i do. i really do.
but when i read? i have to put my whole heart in it! like i need to be stuck in my room with nothing to do but read the book till its done.
i dream about them and everything.
and breathe them too.
that's why the twilight series consumed my summer last summer.
yeah.

anyways...

i've been dying. because
i have not read ANY of the Harry Potter books.
i know! awful right?
it's always been part of my plans? someday when i get time to put my heart and soul and dreams into it.
and i still plan on it! someday.
but now someday is going to have to be tomorrow.
because i am absolutely dying because i have no idea what happens to everyone.
and now i'm dreaming and breathing the movie.
and that's not right.
i have other things to think about!

so. if anyone has the 7th book. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

thanks.

love, laura

just thoughts.

a few thoughts on my head.

1) thank you everyone for supporting me in my blogging journey. it's been a rough go so far, as far as making it what i want it to be..but? i'm getting there. It's a journey. I have a lot of people encouraging me (whitney, hannah, ari..to name a few. Also, my jamie. she is going through the blogging journey as well). thanks girls.

2) dear laura,
i'm senioritis.
and i came to eat you.

3) Christmas is coming! and i know you might hate me...but christmas music has indeed taken over my main flow of music these days.
come on people, the season is too short to save it till after thanksgiving. right? :)
also?
tori mason may have made me fall in love with snow.

4) my brother comes home from his mission in june.
i can't wait.
really i can't.

5) temple day is today! once a week me and jamie go to the temple and it is always the best day of the week :)
lately, Mt. Timp has been closed. :( but we've been broadening our horizons and trying other ones out. it's quite the adventure so far.
you should come with us sometime :)
but..we listen to taylor swift the whole time.
both ways.
so.. i hope that's ok with you.

6) finally found my passion for the jazz last night.
it was a weird experience.
almost spiritual. ;)
My dearest friend steven clarke is the number one fan.
so? i took him to a game for his birthday.
and, it changed my life.
we had a good time, even though they lost.
he's a cool guy, steven clarke. and also jamie and michael and justin and angela. who accompanied us.



love, laur

preference. with parker farnsworth.



saturday night was preference.
it was magical :)
if you don't know parker farnsworth? you should.
he's fantastic.
a few years ago i was going through the hardest time,
parker farnsworth saved my life.
a few weeks ago i got some poop stuff on my hands from the grodey benches in the lunchroom,
parker farnsworth got me some paper towels and stood by me while i tried to wash it off in the drinking fountain.
i didn't feel like opening the door for myself on saturday,
parker farnsworth took care of it :)
one day i wanted to learn how to drive stick shift,

back to the basics

a few days ago i watched a documentary called "God grew tired of us". it's about some "lost boys" who have to move to America from Kenya. if you haven't seen it, i highly recommend it. it's really something to see how different our culture is and how hard it would be to move from one culture to the other. the most interesting part of the whole thing was when these boys were trying to catch on to the american way of celebrating Christmas. one of the boys was being interviewed about it and he said, "all i want to know is who this santa clause is and what he has to do with Christ? maybe i'm wrong, but in Kenya Christmas is about Jesus Christ". it really hit me. we add so much unnecessary stuff to things that are just perfect on their own. I recently read a talk, i think it was by Uchtdorf, and he talked about finding out what's really important and then throwing out everything else. we live in a world that is confused. we think we need to do everything to be anything in this world. i think we're missing it. we're missing what it's all about. how many times have you thought of doing something for someone or saying something to someone and have just let it pass you by? i know that i've done it more times than i can count. there are things for us to discover, there are people who need to be loved, people who need to be listened to, prayers that need to be said, jokes that need to be shared, tears that need to be shed. life is beautiful, and life is short. let's change the world one person at a time. let's see everyone as Christ would see them. let's try and be more like Him. if we can? the world will be better. and guess what? we surely can. :)

We need to get back to the basics of respect one for another and concern one for another, love and appreciation for another, working together, worshiping together, and living together as families who love the Lord and look to Him for light and strength and comfort. -Gordon B. Hinckley

The other day in class someone asked me what my favorite thing to do was and i said "laugh" and she said "really?" and then i laughed :) i play the guitar, not really though, basically all i can play is Taylor Swift songs. i love her. and i love the guitar, and singing to the guitar. not really good at singing either, but i do enjoy it a lot. i like peace signs. weird? yes definitely. i love my mother earth. also i love my mama. she's my hero :) i love all of my family. i love all of my friends. i have amazing friends. AMAZING friends. they help me realize what life is all about. i procrastinate, and i kinda just go with the flow. it's the best thing and the worst thing at the same time. but hey, that's me :) i don't know what else to say about my life today. but i'm sure i'll have more at a later date.
