Youtube

Before I tell you why I am so thankful for youtube I want to tell you a little bit of back story on my choice for this post. For a little over a month I have been wanting to get back into performing. Not only in a community setting but on youtube as well. Now along with music I also enjoy playing video games, specifically Minecraft. Therefor, about a month ago I set a date to get my youtube channel back up and running. On my channel I started a Minecraft lets play series, a challenge series, and a weekly cover. I have used research to look at video editing and ways to improve my videos so people will be interested. It amazes me how much information you can get these days just by looking up videos on it. Please check out my channel if you are interested in any of the content that will be showing up. My goal is to post a video four times a week.

Ballerina, Fireman, astronaut, Moviestar

This weeks prompt is: Ballerina, fireman, astronaut, moviestar. When you were 10, what did you want to be when you grew up? What are you now? Are the two connected?

When I was ten years old I was convinced that I would either be a violinist or a geologist. I know that both of those are far from each other on the job spectrum. Now that I am older, I have a better idea of what I want to be. I am working towards getting my degree in forensics. The one thing I have not decided is if I want to work in the lab or in the field.  I still play my instruments and sing and miss performing in a group setting. However, I know that I don't want to make a living in the music industry. I am not doing what I want yet. Someday I will make it there though.

Did you end up doing what you wanted to do when you were ten years old?

On the Move

The last few weeks we have talked about things that demotivate people and what we can do to avoid those things. After being sick for a couple weeks I have finally started feeling better. I have started trying to think of ways to move more during the day. The first thing I am trying is parking closer to the back of the parking lot so I have to walk more. I wear a nike fuel band daily. It helps remind me to get up and walk. I try to make a habit of getting up and moving for five minutes every hour.

What are some ideas you have that can help people move more during the day?

Baptism

I apologize for this not going up yesterday. Im not sure why it didnt post but I forgot to check, so here it is.

Last week my boyfriends daughter got baptized in my church. I have not been to a baptism since my brothers were baptized. I was fortunate to go through the whole process with her. The missionaries came over weekly if not more to teach her. I wish everyone could witness the knowledge and passion this girls has when it comes to church. I am very thankful that she has chosen this path to take. She has brought me back to church and gotten me more involved then I have been since I moved out of my moms house. So many people came to her baptism. It was such a heart warming experience. Let me tell you about the baptism process in my church. When you grow up as a member of my church you can be baptized at the age of eight. The missionaries teach you lessons that make you aware of what we believe in. You have to be at church regularly for a month. After all that is done, the person confirming you does an interview. It covers everything you learned over the last month or however long you were being taught. You then get to set a date and invite people to come watch your baptism. We baptize by immersion. They say a prayer and dunk you under the water for a second. I can tell you that my testimony has grown a lot in the last couple months and I am so thankful for that.

Bye Bye Bye

This last week I have been reliving my childhood. A new CD was released early this week called The Essential *Nsync by *Nsync. The second CD I ever owned was by *Nsync, so I was a bit excited to see this come out. There are a few classics but the one that probably sticks out the most to people is Bye Bye Bye.

When I was younger my three favorite bands were, *Nsync, Backstreet Boys, and Beach Boys. Did you ever listen to these? If so tell me in the comments which one you like more and what your favorite song is by them.

I hope you all enjoy reading my blog. Please leave comment with suggestions and thoughts.

Five Minute Friday: Begin

Last week we talked about the word finish and how scary it can be when the end is around the corner. Beginnings can be tough though. It is pretty nerve-racking. Just like when you start a new book, you get used to something and then when you start something new you have to get used to the new routine. Beginning something an open so many doors depending on the situation. Always continue onto the new chapter in your life. Sometimes that first step is the hardest to take but most always worth it.
