Decisions, Decisions...I need to make a decision

So since I have been here in California for a couple days, I had some alone time which I have been researching about different Universities I want to apply to. I have narrowed them down to 3....ok, I only have come up with 3, but that pretty good considering a few days ago I only had one I was considering going to. Im thinking of maybe attending Winter/Spring semester of 2012.
I need your help with deciding...

I did a semester this past Fall at Mount Royal University in Calgary, and it went ok, but I kind of want to move away for school.
My first choice is Utah Valley University, and up to now was my only consideration but I have expanded my research. I have heard all good things about this school and I have lived in Utah already so I know where everything is. 

My 2nd choice is BYU HAWAII. Now this would be more like a dream for me, then reality. But it doesn't hurt to apply right? And Im going to try. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and this would be a fun thing to do for at least a semester. Because in all honesty, I would be distracted by the ocean and sun and beaches and school work may not be such a high priority haha.
My last choice, would be BYU IDAHO, all though I have looked it up and seen that it is a decent school, I still cant get over the fact I wouldnt be able to wear shorts, capris or flip flops....that would be hard. Unless I went for the winter/spring term, then I may be able to get through it.

Most of these universities are pretty cheap to attend which is a plus.
My next step will be to figure out what Degree I want to do. I will still be a Hairstylist, but I want to get some more education. It will take some thinking since I thought I wanted to go more to the medical field, but I may rethink that.

As I have been looking at different schools to go to, I went back in time and found some pictures of my days living in Provo with my roommates.


 We decided to get professional roommate photos and they were a ton of fun...this is our modern art piece..




Our signature pose...

 This is all of us sitting on the tracks: Me, Denise, Katie, Tayler, Rachel, Casi

 We rocked our costumes...this is mid jumping in the dark...can you find me?

Me, Katie and Rachel at the BYU football games...I had season passes for both years I was there and the best seats in the house...I miss those games, so much fun!
All these fun memories make me miss college...So I need your help in deciding what to do...

Something that made me smile today..

I heard this song Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood today and I realized, I really like it. In fact, I love it. So I have decided Im going to learn this song on the piano..actually..Im going to play and sing it...at the same time haha, so we will have to see how well that goes :)


This song is basically saying that life here on Earth is temporary and is passing by and heaven is our final destination..

New to this blogging business...2011 so far

So I have decided to keep a blog...mostly it will be of the different things happening in my life. Mostly of pictures or video or music. I thought it might be fun to do. Bare with me, I am still trying to figure this all out but heres some stuff....
 I named my blog live, laugh, love because that is the motto I go by. Live every moment, Laugh everyday and Love beyond words...
When ever I am down or stressed with life or whatever it is, I think about this saying and it kind of cheers me up..because really, those are pretty much the core things you need in life haha.

The past couple weeks I did lots of skiing and had a birthday party...its been a great start to 2011. I am going to post some pictures of the fun that has been happening..
