10 Commandments

By
So a few years ago this guy named Jeffery Dean came down and he talked to the Christian youth of St. George about dating. One of the things he suggested we do that I particularly liked was the idea of a list of "10 Commandments" for our future spouse. These are ten standards that should be met before that person is considered for a relationship. I liked it and created my own set of 10 Commandments... but I haven't really followed them. So I went back and revised a few of them and I thought I'd post them up on here kind of as a way for me to stay accountable to these 10 Commandments. This way those of you reading can help hold me accountable to the standards I am setting. Without further ado here are my 10 Commandments...

10 Commandments for my Future Spouse
  1. He MUST have a relationship with God.
  2. He should be patient... I mean come on he has to put up with me for the rest of his life.
  3. He must be good with kids. Nothing makes a girl swoon more than a guy who is good with kids, period the end.
  4. He has to be willing to listen. Even when it's just pointless stuff I'm rambling about.
  5. He needs to get along with my best friend. I spend a lot of time with my best friend... they need to get along.
  6. He needs to do well with English. Bad grammar and bad spelling just turn me off... and show me that he's probably not intelligent enough for me.
  7. He must respect the performing arts. The performing arts are such a big part of who I am. I'm not saying he has to love them the way I do but he should respect them.
  8. He must be able to make me laugh. I love it when the person I'm with can always make me laugh no matter what mood I'm in.
  9. He should enjoy reading. As an avid reader myself it'd be nice to find someone with that quality as well.
  10. He absolutely must love dogs. I want to have dogs when I get older and have kids... someone who doesn't like dogs is out of the question.


On a totally different note, I just found out that I will now be a leader not an assistant in High Tides two Sundays a month and am just a little worried. I signed up to be an assistant, not to lead. I don't know the first thing about being a leader!!!! At the same time I also know that Jake and Sarah wouldn't have given the okay for me to lead if they didn't think I could do it. Please pray for me that I do well and everything goes okay for me and the students :)

    Wow! Those are some pretty big shoes to fill, but he's out there somewhere!

    As for being a leader...it IS scary and it's a HUGE responsibility. You won't be perfect the first few times, but once you get into the swing, it gets easier. But as a leader, you will always be growing. Expect that and you shouldn't have any problems! Congrats!

To Gigi

Hey Gigi, I can't believe you've been gone an entire year. I miss you so much. I wish we would've been closer before you left but our fractured relationship with Grandma sorta prevented that.I remember getting the call from my mom while I was at Disneyland with my friends saying that I needed to call Grandma Darcy because you were probably going to die that night. I broke down crying at the Tower of Terror, my friends held me on the sidewalk while I cried. I finally put myself together long enough to call you and say goodbye. You didn't answer me and when I hung up I lost it again. I pulled myself together so I could enjoy the rest of my trip, anxiously waiting for the phone call that you had moved on. I returned home and you were doing better, all the worry and panic that I felt was finally gone... I still had more time. I wasn't expecting to receive that message from Grandma on the morning of April 3, 2012 that you had passed on in your sleep. I sat at the table ...

Another Show, Another Closing Night... Or Two.

By
When I auditioned for Fiddler on the Roof at a local theatre here in town, I never thought that I could get cast in the children's show Bridge to Terabithia. Imagine my surprise when I was approached by the director to be an understudy for Miss Edmunds, as well as an Assistant Stage Manager. I eagerly agreed, and thus began one of the craziest summers I've experienced so far. While I was disappointed to have not made it into Fiddler , I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to have worked on Bridge to Terabithia. Because it is a children's show, most of the roles were double cast meaning we have two closing nights. Tonight was the final performance ever of Bridge to Terabithia  at Brigham's Playhouse. Closing night is always a bittersweet feeling. I'm anxious to move on to the next show, or to even have a break from shows and have a chance to breathe for a little while before jumping into the next production. But on the other side of that, I'm nev...

All Good Things Must End

By
Okay so I'm a huge Smash fan and this song "Caught in the Storm"  is one of the songs from the new season which I happen to love. This song fits how I'm feeling right now. My six month relationship ended today (yes I know that's short but for me that is really long) and this song fits the break-up I think. I was so caught up with the relationship not because I loved him. I was merely infatuated with him, and as time grew longer the flame was dulling out but I was so caught up in the storm that had become our relationship. I know that if you truly love someone you let them go or so the saying says. I believe that if you love someone, if you truly love them you will find a way to stay. All good things must eventually come to an end and in a way I'm thankful this relationship ended, yeah it hurts but him and I both knew it wasn't going anywhere once I head out for college. I know I will find someone who I truly love, it's just going to take lots and lots ...
