Went to my first real concert. It was amazing! If you don't know them, let me educate.
Lines from another good song:
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

I am so in love with this car. That sounds a little vain, but I should right? Cuz I'll be paying for it for a while. Yay for air conditioner, the peace of mind that I can go somewhere and won't be left stranded, a CD player, the ability to plug in my Ipod without a cassette converter, not having to worry about not passing inspection, etc.
I am so blessed! In Ukraine, there was this one guy, he was kind of rude because he kind of mocked our church, and that we were missionaries, then proceeded to brag about how he is totally in the same level as us americans because he owns a car, it's kind of sad that he had to put us down to make him feel better. I feel so grateful that I live in this country, that it was so easy to get a college education, that I am paid well, with benefits, in good working conditions, doing something I love. That I can live the american dream, and that I can move out of my parents house even though I am not married! Mindy and I decided that we are finally going to be roommates after being bestest of friends for 3 years. I am super excited!!! We are moving to a way nice townhouse in west jordan!
1. Life gets better. really. like a lot lot lot better. But you can still enjoy where you are now.
2. Being yourself is ok, it's fun even, and people like you better for it
3. Don't put up with people's crap. Don't believe what they tell you about how stupid, immature, naive, etc. or how you are stupid for dreaming big dreams.
4. DREAMS really come true.
5. Let go and just have fun. You don't have to carry the world on your shoulders.
6. People don't generally care so much about how you look, or pay attention to every move, word, or clumsy moment. It's OK to laugh about it. People do forget.
7. Your parents are awesome, but you need to be yourself, even if sometimes it feels like you're going against them. Remember, they are new at this too.
8. Don't believe that to have any friends you have to stay in a group, and hate everyone/thing they hate, and like everything/one they like. If you can't still be their friends they aren't worth it anyways.
9. No matter what your teachers say, you will get into college, and actually it is really not that much different, even a little easier from your load in high school. So don't stress about it.
10. You are awesome. Like seriously, original, talented, full of purpose, awesome. And you will do great things.
I hate chocolate and cheese
Love watermelon- I even made my mom crave it in utero
Love the color purple and always have, it was also my first word
I had the first casualty on the Oquirrh Park Olympic Speedskating Oval- broke my arm at 9.
I play the piano, and am pretty good, especially for only taking less than 2 years of formal training (mostly taught myself)
I can sew, crochet, and knit.
I'm the only one in my family who is RH negative blood type...switched at birth?
Chemistry comes really easy to me. English, not so much.
I own a hope chest full of things I've made for when I have my own family.
In second grade I started collecting erasers. Now I have hundreds of them in all shapes and sizes.
My name was supposed to be Annaliese (pronounced Annalisa) but was shortened to Annalie because my parents felt it was such a big name for a petite baby.
When I was little the stuffed animal aisle in the store scared me to death.
I lived in ukraine for a little over a year
People tell me all the time that I look so young. When I was 24 I got told I looked 14. PS, no matter what you people say about how one day we'll be grateful, it's doubtful, so just walk away.
My sister who is 15 months older couldn't say my name when she was little so she called me Lita. Now it's my family nickname.
I'm a morning person
I was born on 8/6/86
Animals should never be pets. Animals are ok. I HATE pets!!!
Cereal is my comfort food.
Didn't want to grow up as a kid. Still don't.
I love not being in school anymore and with this warm weather coming, I just can't seem to stay at home. In February my best friend Cyann had a baby so me and my best friend Mindy rented a car (because we can now without those ridiculous fees!) and drove to New Mexico to visit her. It was perfect! More details here.
Also in February I got braces. You can see them if you look closely. I only have to wear them for a year! (hopefully) I can't wait to get them off, but so happy with the results so far after only 3 months!
In March I took my brother Garrett to Las Vegas and let him drive!...(scary!) but it wasn't too bad, he's a pretty good driver. Sorry most of these pictures suck, we forgot a camera so we bought a disposable one, and most of them didn't turn out. I feel so old because I remember the days when that is all you had.
