May the Force be with you

I am SO excited because I have an amazing opportunity to be singing in the Star Wars in concert at the Energy Solutions Arena. (Click the link....you know you want to.)

I have always told myself I want to sing John Williams one day. Next Friday is that day!! We are singing Duel of the Fates and Battle of the Heroes. It is such a privilege that this select choir from Snow College, little Snow, got invited personally by the man who set up the concert series. The Utah Symphony will be accompanying, well we are accompanying them really. They are the real stars!
It's Emily's birthday today! She is 21. I just think she's great, and I love the Skalla's lots! Emily is lucky to be married to such a great guy, but even more important Taylor is the luckiest man ever to have such a fun, gorgeous wife like Emily! Happy Birthday Emily!




I've been thinking a lot lately about where I want to be going in the next couple years. There are a few important things I want to accomplish.

The first is getting married. In my mind, I know I need to have two things:

A beautiful temple, like the Manti Temple-

And a man who loves me unconditionally, for all time-

I am grateful to know that a marriage takes work. I look at my dear friends who are married, and see how much work it really is. I also have seen many failed marriages. It has been a big part of my life with my own parents being divorced. I have learned so much from the mistakes that were made in these said marriages. I have grown to know that my marriage will last because I will do everything to make it that way. It's important it is in the temple. I can be with the man of my dreams for eternity, forever. What a blessing to know this!

The second thing I know I want is to go up to the University of Utah. I want to get my music degree and graduate! I have put off school far too long. I love it here at Snow, and now that I'll practically be caught up, I need to move forward.


Graduating from college is a huge accomplishment, and I regret not staying with school the past couple of years. I would be graduating in May if I had. That's hard to think about, but I know I can make up for lost time. I will get a degree.
I am so blessed! I'm on the path that will get me where I need to go. I have amazing friends and family who love me, and I am in most of their debt, literally. Their actions will NEVER go unappreciated.
