Speak Now...

Oh, Taylor. I remember the first time I heard one of her songs and we became instant best friends, even though she doesn't know it. She has this knack for writing songs that are so real that everyone can relate on some level. Whether it's songs about love hoped for, love lost, how much she loves and appreciates her parents, telling off people who were mean to you or living for the moment and enjoying the people you love, she speaks to my soul. I know this sounds super cheesy and if you haven't rolled your eyes by now it's probably because you know what I mean. Her songs are the words I wish I could say, an expression of the emotions I don't know what to do with.

Emi got me her new CD (featured above) for Christmas (along with the Glee Christmas CD...best little sister ever?? I think so!!!) and I have listened to it at least once or twice a day since then. I love it! A couple years ago, Emi actually got to meet her (I am still kinda jealous..ok a lot jealous) but I did get an autographed picture out of it, so that was nice.


I haven't written on my blog much lately because honestly, I haven't had much to say that I either haven't already said (stressing over my future) or that I don't want to tell the world. Some things are meant to stay with me. That's what journals are for. My blog is the part of my journal I let you see.

Christmas was nice this year. It was kinda weird to be honest because my little brother is gone on his mission. I miss him a lot. It throws off the dynamic of our family to have him gone. But he's doing really well and seems to be really happy. He goes out into the field on the 3rd, so we'll see how that goes. haha Poor boy. I don't think he knows what he's gotten himself into.

Well, this is my last post of the year. haha Another corny joke, regardless of it's actual truth. I can't believe it's 2011. It's the year I graduate from college, the year I have to find a real, big girl job. Hopefully it will be a year when I experience exciting new things (maybe a trip or two...after I am making real money?). My best friend comes back from her mission this year, as does my cousin. Emi turns 16 and (theoretically starts driving). It's exciting to think about all the life adventures 2011 has in store. Can't stop it from coming, so here we go!
