Day 30: Agency.
Today is the last day of November!! Which means this is my last thankful wall post. But not my last day of being thankful. hah. just thought I'd clarify.
I was thinking about things I was grateful for today and this is the thing that I decided I wanted to blog about.
Why? Because it's all encompassing. We have the power to choose what to do with our lives. To choose who to follow. The power to choose to be happy or otherwise. To choose what we do with our time. To choose our best friends. To choose to love. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind in our mortal existence. It's a big part of the plan of salvation.
We're on earth to be tested. And Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want us to choose them. To choose "honor, glory, and dominion. And eternal victory." [to quote one of my choir songs.] However, they aren't going to force us. IT'S A CHOICE. And it's ours to make.
I'm so grateful for the gift of agency in my life. It allows me to be happy when the world gives me a thousand reasons to frown. I LOVE this gospel! it's true. It makes life worth living. It makes me smile :]

Days 28 and 29.
Day 28: T. Lund
Ok. So this is T. Lund:
He's one of my best friends and has been since like middle school. We go waaay back :]
He's on a mission right now. Goiania, Brasil. And I couldn't be happier about it, even though I miss him tons. But. He'll be home in less than a year, and time is flying. So it's cool. Also. I might see him before I head out on my mish! We'll see what the timing's like, but it's a possibility.
Anyways, I am grateful for Travis because of the example he is to me. He's such a stud. He is rock solid in the gospel and shares his testimony with all around him. And I know that's part of the missionary gig, but he did that before too. I look up to him so much and can't wait to talk to him and hear all about his mission!
I also love Travis because he's hilar. Even if I'm being an emo kid, he knows what to say and do to cheer me up. And I like that we can play sports together. Even though he owns me in the face every time.
Love you Elder Lund!
Day 29: ULTIMATE!
I am SERIOUSLY confused why this did not come up an earlier day. But, as it is the second love of my life, [after cello] I thought it appropriate to dedicate a day to it.
I am in love with frisbee. Like seriously. It is THE BEST! and it's been awhile since I've played, but it's just the greatest!
I'm grateful for how happy it makes me and how at home I feel running around the field like a crazy. It's fantastic.
Here's to my frisbee gang:
freshman year. the year that started the infatuation.
I LUUUHH frisbee!

Day 26: the HFAC.
Just look at it!
it's a BEAUTY!
haha. but in all seriousness. I love this building. Which is a good thing. Cause I spend several hours a day everyday in this building. It's just GREAT!
True, it may not be the best constructed. but it is a great home base none the less, and I'm grateful to have it as a place to practice, to sing, to play in orchestra, to jam, etc. it's THE BEST!
Day 27: Becs! [a.k.a. Rebecca Johnson.]
This chica is AMAZING! I've been thinking about her lately for various reasons and cause I miss her and never getta see her, but seriously. She's FANTASTIC. and my hero.
When I think of Becs, the first word that comes to mind is SERVICE. You see, Becs is like, the most selfless person I know. I learned sooo much living with her last year and spring summer and I strive to serve like Becs everyday. I still got a long way to go, but it's a work in progress :]
I love this girl! And am sooo grateful to be bffs with her!
Viva Italia!
hah. just thought I'd throw that in for you Becs. But what I really mean is, GO DAL PAL.

Day 25.
Day 25: Jadeyn Glauser [J-Dawg.]
I love this lady! I got a text at 1am last night that said,
"Happy Black friday Pono! You're favorite holiday!..."
It then continued with other stuff, but I LOVE my best friends! They just know me sooo well and love me unconditionally even when I don't deserve it. I love J-Dawg cause of this.
She is just so caring and so kind to me and everyone around her! And she's great. She's a spiritual giant! And I strive to be more like her. I also love being around J-Dawg cause we have sooo much fun together. We laugh til we cry and are just crazy. Recent quote from J-Dawg,
"One time, freshman year, I stuck a fork in the toaster and got electrocuted."
bahah. the crazy.
I've had so many crazy adventures with her! The most recent being a "drive through the canyon to admire the fall leaves which resulted in a 4 hour road trip, going from Provo to Park City to Duschene, halfway to Vernal. bahah.
This is from Peter Pan last year!
Happy Black Friday!

Seeing as today is Thanksgiving, I thought I would share one of the things I'm most grateful for in this world!

I love playing rowdy games of uno late into the night. I love laughing til I cry with my siblings. I love going Black Friday shopping with my mom. I love game nights with the fam and just being loud and crazy. I love singing and just playing music with them.
My family is the best! I'm so grateful for them!

I love this lady! I just said hi to her today, and it made me think about how much I love her. I really wanna hang out with her more. It's just that we're both sooo busy. But yah.

Days 19 and 20.
Whoops. Didn't get to post yesterday. Anyways, here are my day 19 and 20 posts!!
Day 19: The Book of Mormon.
I am soooo eternally grateful for this book in my life. The more I read it, the more I learn from it and the more I enjoy it. It's amazing how I can learn something different from each passage of scripture every time, but I can, and I do.
I love this book more than I can express. It is applicable to everyday life. It brings us nearer to the Savior than anything else in this world can. I KNOW that it is true!
And I stumbled across this lil youtube video that I really enjoyed about the Book of Mormon. che-che-check it out!
Day 20: smiling!
To quote Buddy the Elf, "I just love smiling, smiling's my favorite!"
And I really do. I love smiling. And I love seeing other people's smiles. I think that people are most beautiful when they smile.
I love smiling, cause it's such a simple gesture, but it can make someone's day by just sharing a smile. I know this because there have been days when I've been being an emo kid. But then someone is brave enough to share a smile and I can't help but mirror it!
You're never fully dressed without a smile!
This I truly believe.

Day 17: sleep.
Ok. So I hope this doesn't blow my rep. Cause I always say sleep is over rated and that it's for n00bs and stuff.
But despite my constant fight against sleep, I am rather grateful for it. and I sometimes wish I had more time for it.
This morning I slept until 8:30. it was heavenly.
And some funny sleep pictures.
This one I fell asleep in between calling someone and them answering.
And this one was last year. hah. out cold. mid text.
Oh Sleep...

Day 16: imslp.
Garrick, My cello teacher over summer introduced me to this WONDERFUL gem of a website. It will change your life. It is utterly and completely fantastic!!
It's legit the best website everrr! besides maybs musictheory.net. hah. but seriously. This has beem my favorite website since June or July when I first heard about it.
Here's how it works. You click the link below and type in the piece of music you're looking for in the search box. It has sooo much! And then you just print out the music and have free music that you can read through or use to your heart's content.
My best kept secret.
I used it just a bit ago because I was listening to a Schumann piano quintet but wanted to follow my part.
it's amazing.
you're welcome for changing your life.

DAY 13: Ben Walley.
Ben is one of my best frans right now.
He is also my steady accompanist. hah [there's a joke behind that...]
No, but seriously. I have so much fun with this kid! He's great. He's like my conscience. In everything except for french advisement. It's funny. Cause we're like COMPLETE opposites. Like, the only thing we agree on is that the HFAC should be open later... but it works.

The Thankful Wall.
So last year in our apt, we had a Thankful wall during the month of November where we wrote down everything we were thankful for. It was great. This year, I decided I wanna do one thing I'm thankful for everyday of November.
Unfortunately, it's the 10th. So, here we go. 10 things I'm thankful for!
The rest of the days will just be one a day :]
Day 1: The Gospel!
I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ and I'm so thrilled and blessed to be apart of it. I can't wait to go on a mish so that I can share this good news with others even more than I already do. It's gonna be great! < 6 months til I turn 21 :]
Day 2: Autumn.
it's DEF my fave season.
Day 3: Temples.
I LOVE TEMPLES!! They're my fave. And I want to go to ALL OF THEM. My fave website.
Day 4: Elise Osorio.
This crazy. hah. I love her so much. She is one of my best friends and is SUCH a rock for me to lean on. She puts up with all my crying and crazy emotions. I'm so grateful to have her in my life. We met just over 2 years ago, and she's prob the person I confide in the most. it's cool. We musta been besties in heaven :]
Day 5: Women's Chorus
THE BEST! I'm so grateful to be a member of Women's Chorus. It's been keeping me sane lately... It just feels so good to sing! It's healing.
Day 6: Mish Letters.
They're the best! And make any day better. It's amazing how much wisdom can come from 19 and 20 year old boys. I'm blown away by the testimonies they have. They're my heroes!
Day 7: Pup, my bff.
I love this kid! and am sooo stoked we're gonna be on missions at the same time. Despite being an 18 year old boy, he's got his head on straight. And I love talking to him and laughing with him. Love you pup :]
Day 8: Being a music major.
I'm so grateful for this blessing in my life. And I thank my Heavenly Father everyday to be going to the school that I'm going to and studying what I want to be studying. I'm very lucky. Because not everyone gets to do something they ABSOLUTELY love. it's THE BEST!
Day 9: French.
True, in our family discussion activity today I was the dog, cause I didn't feel like speaking french... So I just barked like a CRAZY while everyone else did the talking. haha. but Most days, I love the language! It is beautiful and fantastic! And. I LOVE praying in French. it's ma fave.
Day 10: My Job.
It's legit the best. In fact. I'm working right now. And I gotta post this whole wonderful thing while working.
Life is great.

I love this kid! and am sooo stoked we're gonna be on missions at the same time. Despite being an 18 year old boy, he's got his head on straight. And I love talking to him and laughing with him. Love you pup :]
Day 8: Being a music major.
I'm so grateful for this blessing in my life. And I thank my Heavenly Father everyday to be going to the school that I'm going to and studying what I want to be studying. I'm very lucky. Because not everyone gets to do something they ABSOLUTELY love. it's THE BEST!
Day 9: French.
True, in our family discussion activity today I was the dog, cause I didn't feel like speaking french... So I just barked like a CRAZY while everyone else did the talking. haha. but Most days, I love the language! It is beautiful and fantastic! And. I LOVE praying in French. it's ma fave.
Day 10: My Job.
It's legit the best. In fact. I'm working right now. And I gotta post this whole wonderful thing while working.
Life is great.

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
Can I just say I love the Christmas cups at starbucks?!
They make me super happy :]
drink of the season: nonfat vanilla pumpkin steamer. DELISH.
But seriously, Christmas is ALMOST here! kinda. and I'm super stoked!
I'm ready for this semester to end, if nothing else.
Yesterday marked one month til juries/the concerto competition. Woot.
And I'm excited to go home.
That's all for now. Just trying to hang in there for the moment.

sometimes,
I play the cello for more hours a day than I sleep.
I drink water in class just so I can stay awake.
I am super impressed with my friends that are serving missions.
quote from a recent email, "No one has truly researched this Church unless they have read the Book of Mormon and asked God if it is true."
I open and close the HFAC. and I love it.
I think in french.
I listen to Christmas music even though everyone around me hates me for it.
I have five [or more] missionary letters that I need to respond to.
All I can think about is how much I wanna serve a mish.
I don't know how I'll make it through a day. or a week.
I'm obnoxiously optimistic.
Well. That's all for now. I love life! it's good. despite the fact that it gets dark at 5:30. hah.

geekin' out.
Ok. So it's Saturday. I'm in the HFAC practicing, and this kid knocks on the door and is like, "Hey we're playing through Tchaik 5 in the orchestra room if you wanna join!"
haha. I love HFAC-ers. soooo much. I wasn't gonna go at first, cause I wanted to get more practicing in. But after someone else came and told me about it, I decided to indulge. hah. So I spent this afternoon sight reading Tchaik's fifth symphony. And it was sooo fun! And I wish I had pictures, but I don't. I was too busy hard core sight reading ;)
Also. I'm at work now. And the french speaking lab guy that I always talk to comes in here and starts speaking to me in french. BEST DAY EVERRR! haha. I'm so not legit. But I like being treated like a legit french speaker :]
And this morning. I found the radio station that plays Christmas music in Utah.
Basicalllllyyyy, Life is good :]

And I thought playing in the Madsen was sweet...
Last night I was at the HFAC a bit before 10. Like usual. And I was looking for somewhere to practice. I was looking for a big room, but they were all full.
So I decided to just play in a foyer of the deJong on the fourth floor. but I decided to check the hall, and it was open and there was a light on the stage! So. I opted to practice there. IT WAS SOOO EP!!
it was pretty dark everywhere except the stage:
I LOVE playing there. The acoustics. The sound. BAH! LOVE. so basically I'm gonna sneak in there whenever I get a chance now :]
I heart the deJong:
I love life!
