Worldly:

Michael Buble Ft. Blake Shelton- Home (live)

Hot Chelle Rae- Tonight, Tonight

David Archuleta- Crush

Dixie Chicks- Not Ready to Make Nice

Garth Brooks- Friends in Low Places and Dance

Javier Colon- Fix You

Keith Urban- Be Here Album and Where the Black Top Ends

Madonna Ft. Justin Timberlake- 4 Minutes

Taio Cruz- Dynamite

Inspirational:

Jessie Clark Funk- Everything Speaks His Name Album

Jenny Philips- Every Breath Album

David Archuleta- Christmas from the Heart Album

David Boye- Be Still My Soul

Josh Groban- Noel Album

Mark Geslison and Geoff Groberg- The Field is White Album

Michael McLean- Ninety and Nine

The songs and albums have been tremendous help to me. I am grateful for so many people who are willing to bless me with their talents.

A great week

This week has been really good to me. I am very grateful for all of the great things that have happened. I have tried to focus on the positive that has gone on.

Last Monday, to celebrate my birthday, Hallie took me out to Olga's for dinner and C.J. Barrymore's for some fun activities. It has been a long time since I had so much fun. We laughed and I learned more about her. I also faced a ton of my fears (drowning, going over a bridge, fast softballs, walking across a sewer hole, etc). There was so much to do! We had bumper boats, soft balls, and the Grand Prix. Okay I am obsessed with being a kid. I love just feeling like I can be and do anything! I did not have that opportunity when I was younger, so it makes sense to me to do fun stuff like that. Did you know that up until my 16th birthday I went to the state fair? And for my 18th birthday I went to Chuck E. Cheese's.

On Tuesday (my birthday) I had lunch with Sister Cooper (the Stake Relief Society President). She was so amazing. After that I went to my classes. I got home at around 10:30pm.

Wednesday I did part one of my physical. It took forever! But most of it was finished. My doctor is hilarious. The hold time he made references about my imaginary boyfriend. I also had a great conversation with the receptionist, her nephew served a mission! I also remembered that I had an astronomy observation due the next day. I tried to go out and look at the constellations and see two planets and the moon rise/set, unfortunately being a procrastinator failed because it was too cloudy to see anything more than four stars.

Thursday I had class again again got home at around 10:30pm.

Friday I babysat for the Nugents. Their daughters are so adorable and easy to care for. My parents told me to come over for dinner. They gave me a (not so surprise) birthday party! My sisters, nieces, and nephews were there and I was so glad to be around little people again. It was great, until my nephew decided to drop my camera! I have not used it since I was at SVU and the one time I bring it out, it gets broken! It does not turn off very well. Then my dad car was side swiped and it would not close, now that he got it to close, it does not open!

Saturday I worked all day. It was fun though! For the first time ever, I was able to verify fifty and hundred dollar bills. It was awesome. I also got to hang out with my friend Brenda! She is so funny. After that Hallie, Mike, and the kids picked me up and we watched the BYU Cougars play Ole Miss. I was not worried, I knew that BYU would win. I am good luck!

That's my awesome week.
