It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home...


I am not really coming home. I just wanted to say that because it is a Beatles song.

I haven't written in a LONG time. I thought I would start up again :)

Right now I am in Anchorage, Alaska and loving it. Seriously, if I didn't have to go back to school in January, I would stay here. All of my life. It is still a possibility :) Maybe someday I can live here.
I am in Alaska because I an nannying for a wonderful family of 5. Three kids: Jonathan, Anna, and Lauren. They are the best! Let me tell you, the life of a nanny is never boring. There is always something to do. I have been here for one and a half months, and I have a little over one month left. Honestly, Alaska is the most beautiful place I have ever been. I have an uncle and aunt who live up here too, so that has been extra exciting for me :)

I am taking an online class right now too. It is a New Testament class, so that is what I will be reading from the scriptures now. I started up a blog for that because we were assigned a student choice assignment (so I decided to start up another blog). That link is: christlea08.blogspot.com
Oh and all those who saw A Very Potter Musical-- please watch A Very Potter Sequel. It is equally amazing! I should go now, so have a marvelous day, all!

It was the Mormons...


I haven't blogged in forever! So there really hasn't been much to talk about... Nothing really that is new at least. This past week I've had the privilege to hear from two apostles! Russell M. Nelson came to speak at BYU-I for devotional this past Tuesday. He spoke on how education is our religious responsibility. After the devotional, my roommate Chelsea and I waited and shook his hand. The first apostle I've ever shaken hands with! Just today Elder M. Russell Ballard came and gave a devotional on campus. It was amazing! I got to shake his hand too, so I have considered this week a success. I shook the hands of two apostles of the Lord.

I have been reflecting on how blessed I am to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My life would be so different without it... I wouldn't have come to Brigham Young University and met my amazing friends, and my life would just be so sad in general. Sure, BYU-I is a bit sheltered, but I'm glad that most of the students here have good values, and actually have some standards. It makes life a lot easier to live. Another thing I like about being Mormon, is that we know how to have fun without drugs and alcohol. Sure, we can get a little crazy, but at least we remember everything we do and we don't get sleazy.

Anyways, being a Mormon has been the greatest blessing in my life, and the gospel has blessed my life in so many ways as well. I love it! I would never change my life for anything else. I have the greatest friends and family. Chyeahhhhhhh!

Doctor Who?


So.... I haven't written in a while. The only reason I am doing so right now is because I just finished the last episode of Doctor Who with David Tennant as the Doctor. For those who don't know what Doctor Who is, go watch it. Now. It is only pretty much the best BBC show ever. I started watching it the summer after I graduated high school. I have watched the whole new series, and some of the old series. David Tennant is quite an amazing actor, and I was sad to see him go. Most people know who he is because he played Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I don't find him that good looking at all, I just love his acting abilities.

Sure, liking Doctor Who gives me sort of a geek status. I am okay with that because it is worth it. You know, I planned to write a lot more about Doctor Who but now I just can't remember what I wanted to say.

Well I am the last roommate awake tonig
ht... Everyone else decided to go to sleep. Sleep is for the weak. I am hardcore, and I don't sleep. Just kidding. I do love my sleep, I just don't feel like going to bed right now. I am too hyped up over the last episode with David Tennant.

Anyways, I will talk school. School is going really well. I am in a small orchestra called Sinfonietta, and we are going to go on tour this spring. I am really, really excited about this. The tour is going to encompass parts of Washington and British Columbia. All of my other classes are going well too. I've been getting my homework done early lately (which is a big deal for me) and being able to socialize as well! I consider this semester an accomplishment already. I have completed my life. Not really.


Well I really should go to sleep, so goodnight, my som
eone, goodnight my love, and sleep tight. A star is shining it's brightest light, for goodnight my love, for goodnight! Yay for the Music Man!
