I cannot tell you how much I love learning the guitar. I love having music as part of my life again, although it is extremely tempting to play guitar all night instead of studying. My assignment for this week is to write a song. At first I was nervous, but that nervousness very quickly turned into excitement because I have been writing song lyrics for the past few weeks anyway and this gives me a good excuse to swallow my fears and give it a shot! So I sat down and tried to strum out a song and by the end of it I decided I wanted to quit school and just sit and write songs and play the guitar all day!! Ok, not really...but I love it. Music really is one of my gifts and I thank God for it. I didn't realize how much musical experience I had had in my life until I started learning the guitar. I had choir, voice lessons, band (percussion), piano, conducting in church. I am just so grateful for the opportunity to put the "musical" back in "musicaljensen;" music really was a part of my life. I feel complete again.
Pictures/video will be coming soon hopefully!
Why Is Life Hard?

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about trials- the hard times we face in
this life. I have come to realize that hard times are going to come whether
we are...

I'm so glad you put the musical back in musicaljensen. You ARE music. I was wondering if you were still using it any more. Some of my favorite memories are singing those beautiful duets with you in Sacrament Meeting. It was so much fun, and you have the most beautiful voice. You have no idea how much I look up to you! You're a huge role model for me.
Oh, and guess what? I've been learning guitar, too, from other kids at my school! I'm sure I'm not at all as good as you must be, but I know a few chords and have been able to sing a few songs with it. (It's been fun, although it hurts my fingers like CRAZY!) Maybe we can jam together when you get back! haha That would be so much fun!
TTYL, Susan! Luv, Laura
