Today, I am grateful.


I'm grateful for the people that listen.

Who remind you of how important it is to be happy.

I'm grateful that we have skype.
I'm grateful for my grandma.
I'm grateful for great aunts and uncles and amazing cousins.

Kimberli, Craig, Brent, Lisa,
Gordan, Marybel, Michael, Steph,
Tom and TJ.
(the temple window post is still in progress)

I'm grateful for the gospel.
The messages that were heard this past week.
The lesson we learn.
The anwers I need.
The past leaders that I have had.
And the ones I have now.

I'm grateful for Seminary.
My mom is my teacher and she is THE BEST!!
i'm grateful for scriptures.

I'm grateful that I got to go to school in tahiti.

I'm grateful that we go to a great school.
I'm grateful for our great teachers.

Big things are coming up.
There's somethings I don't want to change.
There's somethings I can't wait to change.
Somehow writing made it a little bit better.

95 DAYS!!! 

Shooting Star.

Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time

Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight

Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flames so hot it melts our hearts
Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out
But not this time

Let your colors burn and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world that'll try to bring you down
But not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight

A thousand heart beats beat in time
It makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight.
