Music

This might not make any since to anyone but me but, I was in the car last night with my friend Carrie and we were listening to one of our favorite band, Amber Pacific (http://music.aol.com/artist/amber-pacific/2136437). They are a punk type band with lost of crazy drumming, no no dirty language or vulgar thoughts (other wise I wouldn't listen to them). We just love them. Carrie made a comment that I had never thought of while we was listening to them, she said, "It's so nice that I can listen to this and still feel the spirit." It's kind of crazy how true that was and how grateful I am that there is music with a beat like that has and still you can feel the spirit.
That got me to thinking about some other music and how when I listen to the lyrics it makes me think about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. One song that I was listening to a while ago that made me think this way is actually written to be a type of love song but if you think about it as if you are singing it to Christ it is super cool or maybe I am crazy.

Lyrics to Bless The Broken Road :
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years
I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time
I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Let me know if you see what I'm saying.

Panoramas are one of our assignments for photography. Here are a couple of mine, that have not had to much, if any, editing done on them yet.

Here is the view off the top of our parking structure at school... not bad eh? It is actually a nice area to go to school in (when there is not something going on at the arena and have problem finding a parking spot or protesters on Temple Square).

It's the Bountiful Temple in case you were wondering. I love the view from here and it is beautiful inside as well.

I think this one is cool, it's up Big Cottonwood Canyon. The color is a little funky and don't look to close but one of the sides is blurry.

There you have it.... when i finish my other stuff I'll make an effort to post it. I hope you have a happy day!!!

Last weekend

Last weekend my cousin Ty was ordained to a priest (not like a Catholic Priest, it is a little different in our church). It was great becasue a chunk of my family was brought to gether. Ben and Maria came up with their kids for the weekend. I am the old lady in the group, most of the cousins are younger than my siblings and I and my Aunt Kathryn's kids, but I still have fun with them.

So in the pictuer we have from left to right: Teone Koontz, Kellyann Harms, Me, Cecily Rosses, Tristen Harms, Trevor Harms, Jared Koonts, Sariah Koontz, Ty Rosser, Elaina Koontz, and Hannah Rosser.

This was a fun one, that's Elaina, Hannah, Me, and Cecily. We were playing around downstairs. I love these girls. I am a good number of years older than all of them so I have watched them grow up from babies and man do they grow fast.

This is my little Jared (aka Tarzan, or so he

use to let me call him). I when I left on my mission he was not really talking and by the time I got home nothing would make him stop. He is so grown up and so tall! He is going to be a little heartbreaker when he gets older.

I love spending time with my family!!! I am so glad for the God's Plan of Salvation (for more info click here: http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/basic-beliefs/heavenly-father-s-plan-of-happiness/heavenly-father-s-plan-of-happiness) that I am able to be sealed to my family through eternity. I am so grateful for that gift and that blessing.

The Monkey

Isn't the monkey so cute??? The one crawling on my page for, my parents can't see it so I hope the rest of you can and don't think I am crazy. My sister put it up there without me knowing, she is my blog guru since I really have no clue how to do anything besides post what I write.

I am so excited, I only have 5 more weeks of school and I get a good long three weeks off and then right back to the grind stone. I am not looking forward to next semester as I have to throw interning on my plate of full-time work and full-time school. Bring it on! Ughhhh!

For those of you who don't know I work customer service at Wal-Mart.... it is not the most spectacularly job but I get paid alright and they are willing to adjust my schedule so I can go to school. I decided I am going to start writing down my experience and then write a tell book about the good, the bad, and the ugly of Wal-Mart Customer Service. I have told some people some of my stories.... wow is all I can say someday. All I can say is that my job has made me immune to being cussed at and for feeling bad for telling people no. it has also made me more familiar with dishonest people. I us to be a very trusting person but let me tell you I have learned that even the ones that look like you can trust them you really cannot. I won't get to into that but when I have a good story I'll post it so you can see what kinds of stuff I get to put up with.
