Night Train

Saturday night was Jason Aldean's Night Train tour concert. Can I just say I LOVED IT!!! Nicole and I got Kaylee Mae tickets for her birthday. Hello, 3 girls+salt lake for the day+concert=an amazing summer adventure. We started the day off at the Gateway Mall. We went shopping a little, met some great new friends (P.S. just because someone looks Asian doesn't mean they are Asian. thank you Isaiah for teaching us that). Ate some lovely dinner at McDonals and maybe had some other secret adventures in between. After that we took a journey to Rio Tinto Stadium for the lovely event. The night was full of Thomas Rhett, Jake Owen, Kelly Clarkson and of course Jason Aldean. In between singing at the top of my lungs, being entertained by drunks(Nicole may or may not have been one of them) and staring the awkward couple down all night I would say it was a success. I cant even explain all the laughs and memories we made that night. I mean come on its not every day you get hit on by a hobo and a dog lover and maybe "almost" die in an empty parking lot! :)

Summer Lovin Had Me a Blast

Where has summer gone? This by far has been the summer that has gone the fastest. I feel like just yesterday I was throwing my cap up in the air and in a blink of an eye I have experienced adventures, trials and just overall learning experiences. I wouldn't take back my decision to move to Logan for the summer, it truly has been exactly what I know I needed to do. When I made this decision to move I knew I had to do it. I was struggling finding somewhere to live last minute but I just knew I had to do it. Now after 2 months I have some theory's on why I was suppose to move over but overall I seriously still wonder why I knew it needed to be done. With fun experiences with my new and old friends all summer, it truly has been a blast! Here are some pictures of my adventure so far.

I am Me

Over the past couple weeks I have really stepped back and tried wondering what my life would be like if certain things in my life never happened. After a nice phone call with my friend today and watching a beautiful sunset I came to this conclusion...trials truly are blessings! Everything in my life has sculpted me into become who I am today. Nothing in my life whether it was something that brought me down or something that built me up, would I take back and have it happen a different way. I am me! I am me because of what I have experienced! Only I truly know the feelings I have felt in my heart and the trials, thoughts and feelings that have over powered me at times. But as I watched the sunset today I also realized another thing, Christ knows me to. He knows me better than I know myself. He sat there watching me through my trials saying "Darci don't give up" "you keep trying" "you will overcome this, you will be blessed". I can only imagine him getting discouraged wondering why I never turned unto him in every thought, if I did I would then doubt not and fear not. So as the sunset ended, the stars came out and Logan's city lights lite up I came to the conclusion, I am me because of Christ. I am never left comfortless for He has felt my pains! I have a father in Heaven who heard my prayers. He WILL answer them and it will be in HIS own way. Trials can either  make or break us. ALWAYS stay true to what you know is right, never settle for anything else!! And always live like you believe, be strong and of a good courage and stand firm to what you know is true. You are a child a God, the Savior loves you!!!
