Secondhand Serenade Concert

This Summer has been pretty good... My favorite thing has been the outdoor concerts... laying on the grass with a blanket, perfect weather and really good friends! This concert was especially good... I am so lucky to have awesome friends who make my life so much better.... even though the music and the lightning storm made me wish i was in love (hahaha) I am so glad I have good friends to share good memories with! xoxoxo

Steve, Kristin, Jeff, Ammon, Me, Jake, Danielle, Jackson and Krista.... the regulars..... Dont ask why none of us are dating.... because none of us really know the answer to that question...

Quotes and Lyrics

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, he became a butterfly.

"Therefore, how can you and I really expect to glide naively through life as if to say, 'Lord give me experience but
not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me Lord all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art? Then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!'
Neal A Maxwell.

"If I really felt like my spirit was distorted, I should simply fix it, purge it, make it perfect, because there is no other task in our entire lives that would be more worthwhile."

- Carlos Castaneda

"Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God"

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

-Plato
