Life is funny...

Life is funny.

When you want to give up, it throws things at you faster than you can ever imagine, and sometimes you wonder what you did to deserve something so wonderful!

That's how I feel right now. You see, if you read the previous post about the song I wrote, the man mentioned in it, is a wonderful guy! He could be described as amazing, stupendous, the best ever, and the list just goes on...and somehow, I managed to win his heart! I feel like one lucky girl right now!

This past weekend was probably one of the most fun weekends I have EVER had. Period. End. David Grigsby (that's his name...) came to Roosevelt to visit on Friday. He got here about the same time I got back from my internship, which was perfect timing. I've learned...timing is EVERYTHING! We went up to Neola, since David had never been there, and played on the playground at the Elementary school. This was a blast! Then, we went to the Drive In. We had a blast there too. :) Saturday was a blast as well, because I took one of my nieces to the Rec center and met up with David and his two nephews. We played in the pool, and it was lots of fun. Then my family wanted to have a game night, so we played progressive rummy--the family favorite game! Then of course Sunday was full of church and talking. There was a lot A LOT of talking this weekend. And, I love that! It just made things even better.

Anyway, I think I couldn't be happier right now...okay...that was a lie! If Miss Utah stress was over, I could be happier! But, I am SO stoked for Miss Utah! I'm going to do my very best, and I'm excited for the opportunity! It's so soon! I feel like I've been working for a long long time to prepare, so hopefully it all pays off! No matter the outcome, I know I'm going to do my very best, and that's all I can do! Whatever happens will happen, and I'll know it was right!

Oh yeah, the greatest quote I've ever heard in my life came from sacrament meeting yesterday. Are you ready for this?

"We even pray for world peace, and we're not even beauty pageant people."

--Sister Pittman

My whole family was cracking up. I loved it so SO so SO much. hmmm...

Well, to complete this post, I should add pictures, naturally, right? Enjoy!

Changes to the song...

Changes are in bold font

Verse 1:
Way back when she met him
it's like she wasn't there
he never paid attention
he never showed her care
then life moved on, they parted ways
she told herself, "There's better days."
The start of her crushed heart

Chorus:
It's alright, she'd always say
love will come to me someday
there's always something new to learn
it's just not my turn.
I know my time will come.

Verse 2:
Then grown up, much older
she thought she found the one
all her friends they told her
"girl, your heart is won!"
they made some plans, holding hands
but before too long, he'd be gone
apart is her crushed heart.

Chorus

Bridge:
she didn't see it quite like this
no she would have never guessed
so deep from her past
could it finally last?
(He came back around)I got rid
(and she's now found.) of these two lines.

Chorus modified:
'cause it's alright, she'll still say
love has come to me and hey
there's still something new to learn
even though, it's my turn.

Yeah, it's alright, she'll still say
love has come to me and hey,
there's still something new to learn
even though it's my turn.
I know my time has come

I know my time has come,
Yeah, I know my time has come.

New Song

So, here are the cheesy lyrics to my new song...I wrote it all tonight. It took about 2 1/2 hours.

It has no title yet and I'm kinda chicken to put it up here, and I don't know how I feel about it quite yet, so just enjoy it and don't think I'm too much of a nerd!

title of the song goes *here* when and if it ever develops!

Verse 1:
Way back when she met him
it's like she wasn't there
he never paid attention
he never showed her care
then life moved on, they parted ways
she told herself, "There's better days."
The start of her crushed heart

Chorus:
It's alright, she'd always say
love will come to me someday
there's always something new to learn
this time, it's just not my turn.
I know my prince will come.

Verse 2:
Then grown up, much older
she thought she found the one
all her friends had told her
"girl, your heart is won!"
they made some plans, holding hands
but before too long, he'd be gone
apart is her crushed heart.

Chorus

Bridge:
she didn't see it quite like this
no she would have never guessed
so deep from her past
could it finally last?
He came back around
and she's now found.

Chorus modified:
'cause it's alright, she'll still say
love has come to me and hey
there's still something new to learn
even though, it's (could be) my turn.

Yeah, it's alright, she'll still say
love has come to me and hey,
there's still something new to learn
even though it's my turn.
I know my price has come!

So, this song basically is about my love life. However, if I tried writing one song for all the heartbreaks I've had, I think I could out-write most artists! Now, I haven't REALLY found love...it's too soon to tell, but this song was party inspired by a handsome man I've recently developed some feelings for....and I'm done writing before I spill my guts out! There's just something about a blog that makes you want to say so much! Good night blogging world!
