Love My Life

From a friend of Erik's- 

I first heard this song while I was living in Spain and broke down because of how much it reminded me of Erik Gray. And myself (of course.) It's been in my head the last three days, and now it's permanently his. I hope we can keep his light in our lives :)

"Find the others with hearts like yours. Run far, run free. I'm with you."

Erik would love this song! He loved life!

Love My Life

Robbie Williams

Tether your soul to me
I will never let go completely
One day your hands will be
Strong enough to hold me

 

I might not be there for all your battles
But you'll win them eventually
I pray that I'm giving you all that matters
So one day you'll say to me

 

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free

 

I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

 

I am not my mistakes
And God knows, I've made a few
I started to question the angels
And the answer they gave was you

 

I cannot promise there won't be sadness
I wish I could take it from you
But you'll find the courage to face the madness
And sing it because it's true

 

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free

 

I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me

I love my life

Find the others
With hearts
Like yours
Run far, run free
I'm with you

 

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free

 

I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me

 

I love my life
I am powerful
I am beautiful
I am free

 

I love my life
I am wonderful
I am magical
I am me
I love my life

 

And finally
I'm where I want to be

People are People

I think working at Lowe’s
really helped show me that you can be friends 
with anyone- no matter 
how old and 
no matter what circumstance in life we are in. 
People are people 
and friends can be made 
anywhere.

Summer!

Summer adventures: This summer was SO. MUCH. FUN. I feel like I made friends with so many people this summer. And I feel like making friends has come super easy to me. I hung out with Janice Call and Megan Solomon a lot. I also hung out with Kelsie- she taught me how to make cinnamon rolls one night. I also hung out with Jenna Dey and Isabel Truax and Lexi Hopkin- Oh man, I felt like a middle schooler again, Lexi and I sort of liked each other and I feel like it was a lot of back-and-forth games between the two of us! Bother, bother, bother. Oh well. We went camping one night, and then the next morning went cliff jumping at Porcupine Reservoir, and that’s when I realized that Lexi had a thing for me. :P

Other summer adventures: Huntsman Hall. Favorite lookout spot: The LLC- overlooks the whole valley- and about a two minute walk from Yellow House. Janice and I went scootering one night through the parking garage. IT WAS SOOOO FUN!
