The Story of the CD

The year was 1998 my best friend’s name was Kelsie Ainsworth; to this day, thirteen years later, we are still BFFs. We loved to pass notes during school. One day along with a note she passed me a tape of songs. I loved this tape. Each song told me how important and loved I was. In 2000 my family moved to West Kaysville, and I lost the tape during the move. I was devastated, but after awhile I forgot about the tape.  One day, years later, while going through some papers I found a list of all the songs that were on the tape. I was so excited! I decided that I wanted to make a CD for Kelsie for Christmas. I took the list of songs and found them all on iTunes; I was not able to find all the same artists. Some of the artists I found were not great, but the words of the songs were the most important part for me. I had all the songs ready for the CD. Then I thought I should add a few more songs to the list. I picked some songs from my neighbors album, and one other that I discovered during college.  I added maybe four or five new songs and made the CD. I mailed the CD to Kelsie for Christmas. She loved it! I have since given it to my good friend Tatiana, and made a copy for myself. When Kelsie gave this CD to me it meant so much. The songs are about love, friendship and trust. The words of each song were just what I needed to hear. I am so grateful to have Kelsie as a friend. She has always been there for me even through the tough times. Kelsie calls and texts me regularly just to see how I am doing. Could you ask for more in a friend?

WAGON TRAIN

Ok so I have to say that I love going on the wagon train every year. Everyone is so nice, and the food is delicious! So on the first day my mom, dad, and I went on our own little trail; it was so much fun. Dad let me drive the horses for the first time, and I loved that. The second day we rode through this beautiful green valley that was covered with little streams. I have included some pictures and more will be on the way!

The Name of the Game

Today's theme is random so I will just give you a list of the things I have been up to.

1) I finished The Virgin Suicides. Interesting book, I don't know if I would read it again; it is sad.

2) I got the new white iPhone!!! I love it!

3) I am sick. An upper respiratory infection is the worst! I miss the days when I could breath.

4) Sandbagging & flooding! I have the best neighbors!

 

It has definitely been a week. I am so grateful for all the support I have from my family and neighbors! They sure do make life exciting. I love how everyone is smiling! Chat with you another day!

P.S. Did you notice I included pictures today!

WELL . . .

I am working on a new post patience please!
