What's another word for update?

Brief life refresher:

1. I'm more than half way done with Winter semester at BYU.  School is super busy but i'm absolutely loving it.  Media Music is the perfect major for me.  I'm in 10 classes this semester.  It seems like a lot but that's just the life of a music major!  It keeps you busy and content. Next year will be my last...weirdddd!! It seems like yesterday I was nervously walking to my first class at BYU.

2. I'm still working for J Dawgs.  You guys, I'm still not sick of them.  I will always love J Dawgs.  Always and forever.  I'm still working on finding out the special sauce recipe and sharing it with everyone.  Ha jussst kidding.  This summer i'm moving to D.C. to sell pest control!  What an adventure!

3. My birthday was a week ago.  It was so much fun.  I went to lunch and a movie with my fam, got a pedi with Emma (it was my first pedicure in my life), and went to Cupid's Ball (our ward activity).  My 20th year has been a fantastic one.  I feel like I am 5 years older than I was last year.  This year has been full of independence and big choices.  I have learned even more about who I am and what I want to become.  I have learned that I am the only person who can choose my life and make my life decisions.  It's a hard and daunting task, knowing that I have full control over my life, but i'm ready for it!  I have learned to think of others before myself.  I have learned to be more patient and trusting to everyone, especially the ones I love.  When you truly love someone, you will be willing to sacrifice for them and think of them before yourself.   I still have so much to learn.  I'm lucky that my the people who surround me are so forgiving of my faults.  21, here I come!!

4. Other random highlights:  The Jazz Voices show was two weeks ago.  I'm in a performing Jazz ensemble for those of you who don't know.  It's amazing.  I went to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert a few weeks ago.  It was PHENOMENAL.   Best concert of my life.  My brother and sister-in-law (Derek and Sheri) had a baby a few days ago!  His name is Chase Neeley.  I love the nieces and nephews.


Life is good.  Smile.  A simple smile can change someone's day.  Laugh your heart out, even if the joke is offensive. :)  I SERIOUSLY love you all.
