Life is Short

I don't know how many times I have had this epiphany, but it hits me hard every time! Life is so fragile, and the people we love are only with us for such a short time. It is crazy to think about how many people have passed in my lifetime alone. I wish I could find a way to remind myself how important it is to live every second to the fullest, and treat every person with the greatest amount of respect and love! I hope that when I am older I will have accomplished something great, and no matter what that turns out to be, I am determined to make every minute count. I feel like I should go without sleep to make up for all my wasted time. Instead I will just make sure I make my life count.

Movies?

Alice In Wonderland!

Oh my gosh! I saw this a few days after it came out, but I forgot to blog about it... I love this movie! I have never felt so magical! Johnny Depp was the greatest! It makes you remember how awesome the world was when you were young, the scenes were fantastic! I wanted to live in that world :)

Idaho... No you are.

Farewells

Basically my whole universe is changing as of late. To recap; I have a group of cousins who are all within a year of me. We have been best friends for life. Out of the nine of us 3 are girls, and only one of the gents is not going on a mission. This means that Russell, Weston, Cameron, Seph, James, and Nathan are all either already on a mission, or will leave within the next two months or so!!!! I already feel alone, but to make matters even worse, a good portion of my closet friends are leaving/have left as well!!! Jack leaves Wed, Matt leaves next wed, and Spencer can't be far behind. This mission pattern is a terrible/wonderful thing. I am so happy to be close to so many amazing men; but I will miss them soooo much!!! So for those of you who are mentioned above, or are leaving and are not close to me, make sure your mission is worth while! There are plenty of people who miss you and would rather have you home if you aren't going to put out every ounce of faith and effort!!
