About Me

My photo
Torrance, California, United States
My name's Michelle. I live in California, but hope to move to Utah or Idaho ;) I'm a very outdoors-y kind of girl. I love nature, and photography. I play soccer, and like to run. I snorkel a lot. I am a HUGE Carrie Underwood fan, and Brad Paisley is one of the most amazing men in this world haha :) I am a big drawing fan, and not going to lie: I'm good at it, but want to be better. lol. I have strong faith in our Heavenly father and in Jesus Christ. :) I am a Child of God. I enjoy history and maybe some day, I can be an archaologist or combine my art and photography skills and do something with that. "Love isn't just a feeling; it's work." -Shay Carl "And now as I say concerning faith, faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith, ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true." Alma 32: 21<3

Oh, summer :)

So, my summer has been really productive! I've visted family a lot, hung with friends, gotten crazy burnt. I've been snorkeling a lot, too. I guess that's good, since my wetsuit is like my new baby.
Been finding some more great music, too! Country, of course. that't only the best genre in the world!!!

So, I guess if I had to chose my favorite artists in order right now, it would be:
1. Carrie Underwood
2. Brad Paisley
3. Leann Rimes
4. Shania Twain
5. Miranda Lambert
6. Zac Brown Band
7. Kenny Chesney
8. Alan Jackson
9. The Eagles
10. (getting out of Country, here) The Black Keys

Woot!! If anybody ever reads this, I recommend every single one of those. They're all clean music! okay, besides mentioning alcohol, and sex, but it's country music... and the Black Keys! But they're good, too. And go check out Brad Paisley. not just his voice, I mean the man is beautiful.

Check out these songs too: (you dont even have to like country to like these... mostly)
1. Remind Me -Brad Paisley ft. Carrie Underwood <3
2. I Will Follow You Into the Dark -Death Cab for Cutie
3. You and Tequila -Kenny Chesney ft. Grace Potter
4. Mud on the Tires -Brad Paisley (it's a really fun song)
5. Blue -Leann Rimes
6. Forever and For Always -Shania Twain (has been a favorite since I was a baby child ;) lol)
7. That Song in My Head -Julianne Hough
8. Down In Mississippi -Sugarland
9. I Aint In Checotah Anymore -Carrie Underwood
10. White Liar -Miranda Lambert
...oh my gosh. I could name SO many more.

Well, anyway, next week, My Sister and I are taking a roadtrip to Provo to see my Aunt and cousins :) My Aunt is really excited. She called me today, which she never does!
Totally unrelated:
Transfers were today for the missionaries. Pretty bummed, because I was like 'Great. now we're gonna have Elders.' But Sister Johansen's staying :) lol.
I'm not sure if I like having Elders. I always catch myself flirting with them. I don't mean to! But they're good looking, clean-cut, nice, young men. Plus, they're a little older than me (3 years), so thats probably why. Even my Aunt Sue, who's in her 50's, was flirting with the Elders at my baptism! Oh my goodness, haha. She still talks about it, too.
"Those young missionary boys were SO cute! Will you have one of them when you're older?"
...yes.

Tomorrow, I have my DMV test (for my permit). I know! I'm late! Like a year, whatever I live across the street from school.
I'm going to need my license for seminary next year, though. Nobody is going to drive me to church at 5 in the morning.
Alright, goodnight! Wish me luck tomorrow!!!
