Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows.

Summer of 2012 has been treating me quite well. It's going a lot quicker than I would have hoped... But I guess things have to end one way or another. I'm ashamed at my lack of posting on this blog. I will try to do my best to keep up.

On the 7th of June me and two of my best friends went to Las Vegas to see the one and only One Direction. I didn't quite know what to expect! Vegas is massive. It was a really fun experience for the three of us and my parents! We had such a wonderful time. On the night of the 8th I could not sleep for the life of me. It was like Christmas all over again. I was so excited to see my boys at Planet Hollywood that next night at 7:00pm. I couldn't contain my excitement. In the afternoon Courtney Hill told me she got to Vegas and was outside lined up by a bunch of buses. We had to go. We just had to. If there were any of the slightest chances to catch an eye of either Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall, and Zayn I would do just about anything. When we got there I got to see Indy Severe (check out her blog. She is adorable!) Courtney, and her two sisters Lexi and Heather. It was a nice greeting! I guess just before me, Savannah, and Kailin got there THEY GOT TO SEE ZAYN. I saw pictures of him at the top of the stairs. I about died. We stayed there for a couple of hours without any luck. Finally it was about 6:30 when we decided to go in! The arena was really small so even our "bad seats" weren't even bad at all. The first opening act was a woman I have never seen before and hope to never see again. Her name was Camryn and in the words of Courtney was a "Hannah Montana wannabe". Spot on. She was terrible. That's all I want to explain about her. The second opening act was a man named Olly Murs. I instantly fell in love with him. He was so so incredible. Even though I didn't know his songs I was still dancing along. I was said when he got off stage but that just meant One Direction were coming on next. When the moment finally happened (it seemed like ages) I will admit, I started bawling. Couldn't stop. I looked over to Kailin on my right and tears were streaming down her face. It was actually a bit embarressing, I never would have thought that I would cry?! But I could not contain myself. That was the happiest I've ever felt. The concert went on to be a success. Loved ever second of it. When it was time for them to leave I was so upset. But so so grateful that I even got to have the opportunity to go to one of their concerts, be in their presence, and be in the same room as them, IN VEGAS. I have my wonderful daddy to thank for that one.

Speaking of my father, he recently got diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer and goes into surgery this friday. If you could please keep him in your prayers I will be so grateful. I know he'll be just fine. He has wonderful doctors and got a blessing today by my uncle Eric. My testimony for Priestood Prayers is so so strong. I don't know what I'd do without them. Even though it was for my dad, it gave me so much peace and knowlege that he will be alright. Thank you Eric.

Pictures will be up tomorrow of my trip. I love you!
