Somebody That I Used To Know

What is it with songs and reminding me of my past today. gosh! i like this song! Correction.... LOVE this song.

So I Set the World on Fire. :)

I don't know why, but the first time i heard this song, it reminded me of my friend let's call him ELMER!  :P I super duper love this song. Enjoy my friends. enjoy.

Starting over

So my Fiance and i broke up a couple of weeks ago (mutual decision and i am okay). My friend set me up on this blind date for tonight. I am nervous SOOOOO nervous. Honestly i haven't "dated" in over a year. I was with a boyfriend since December of 2010 broke up in may 2011. Then came july and i hadn't dated at all since my breakup and then i went on one date with My ex-fiance and we have been together from july until two weeks ago. so i am very VERY out of practice with dating. i am so afraid i can't remember how to date. I'm afraid that i will make all of the first date mistakes. ugh... I hate dating :P  Starting over. it isn't easy. BLEH!! now there is my little two cents for my blog :P it has been a long while since i have posted.

Salt Lake City

It is sooo much fun to just walk around Salt Lake City. if you get board.... just go there and walk around at the Gateway then walk around town. go play in the hotels and such. look at the pics below.. i had a BLAST!! There was one point where we (Me, Jer, Amanda, and Garrett) were at a restaurant and i was doing mr napkin head and the waitress came when my face was covered so i had no clue she was there!!! so embarrassing but sooo funny! :P

Where have i been?

When i started this blog, i really thought that I was going to write more. BUT i haven't. Oh well. The posts that i have posted aren't all the great either, but it's MY blog, so i guess it doesn't matter. It is about 3:00am and i can't sleep. I have two ear infections and a sinus infection AND a cold, so i am very uncomfortable.  I also don't like to sleep cuz my recent past has been creeping it's way into my dreams and it is not very happy making.

 I am SOO happy that i have Jeremiah in my life. He saves me from my sadness and sickness. He comes over and for a brief time i forget that i feel so sick and miserable. How did i ever get so lucky to catch a guy like him? before i met him, i thought i deserved to be treated the way i was treated. I thought that that was normal and that i couldn't find any better for myself. being with Jeremiah has been a big adjustment for me, a good adjustment, but big. at first i didn't want to see him as often or cuddle as much and felt creeped out when he did because i was so used to being denied of affection of any sort most of the time. and when i wasn't denied that affection it was only given to me so my feelings weren't hurt (Some of the time) Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad, there were soo many good times. but all of these other times overshadow the good times now. It was like pulling teeth to get him to hang out with me even once a week. With Jer...he jumps at any chance to come see me every day. He always wants to hold my hand and tell me that he loves me every chance he gets and then some :) I'm lovin it!!

I guess my post is very scatterbrained... forgive me... i'm tired and have some bottled up feelings i am releasing a little bit. Don't worry, I won't unleash all of them at once. 

bottom line......i can't wait to be married to my JERJERBEAR!

The worst they can say is "No"

I have a huge fear of auditioning for things. That is why i was NEVER in my high school plays, or in any community plays, or college plays.  I was afraid that if they said "no" then i would never want to sing or audition for anything ever again, so i just didn't. Now, years later, i realize i was already thinking low of my talents. What would have happened if i just auditioned? the worst anyone could say is "no".
For my choir that i am in (Sterling Singers) the first soprano's have to audition because they want clear on pitch voices on the high notes. My mom was trying to get me to audition and i wouldn't even give myself a chance. I gave up before i even tried. I said to my mom "no mom.. i will just be a 2nd soprano cuz i am not going to audition. and it took about five minutes of my mother telling me to "just do it, the worst he can say is no" and i finally decided to audition. I was scared out of my pants. I hadn't auditioned for anything in a very long time, years even.  our director had us sing the high A in the Hallelujah Chorus " and he shall rein for ever and ever" and then the next part where to soprano's hold out the " king of kiiiiiiiiiiiiings and lord of looooooords" where it progressively gets higher and higher.  A few ladies were before me and they were so quiet and dind't do very well and i was like " if they can't do it then i can't either" but then my name was called and i guess i was kinda quiet through the first part and i rocked the second part. then the director asked me to sing that first part again and i did it loud and clear and the director said "oh there you are, hello Lynette" and he gave me much praise. he didn't not give any of the other ladies praise, so i am pretty proud of myself. then i was done and i left and today (4 days later) i get an email saying i am invited to sing 1st soprano!!!!!!  I DID IT!!! and to think i was going to back down and not even try.... i am going to audition for things from now on. at least try... cuz you never know.... you might get exactly what you came for. :)

My Engagement Story

Some background before i start the story. Jeremiah and I met on the 4th of July 2011 and we have been dating since July 6th. and...i guess i'm just going to roll on into the story :)

So on monday night (9/12/11) Jeremiah took me to Sundance to go on the ski lift to see the full moon. We were a little ways up the mountain when i heard Jer groan and say to himself " oh man... i can't believe i did that." and i asked him what was wrong and he said that he had forgotten something at home that was very important. Of course i instantlythough.. oh great, he was going to propose and he forgot the ring at home.... so a few minutes later he jokingly looked over at me and started to unwrap a ring pop and he jokingly said "Lynette Rounds, will you marry me?" and i said " Yes" in an airy voice just joking around and we put the ring pop on my finger and i started to eat it.

 As the lift went on i asked him if it was the ring that he left at home and he told me that yes it was the ring. He looked soo bummed out and i told him not to worry too much. 

When we got off of the lift we decided to go take a walk around and we walked by a pond. He was holding a rolled up blanket in his arms (he brought blankets because it was cold) he pointed to the trees and said "hey look! there a guy walking around in the trees" so i looked at the guy that actually was roaming around in the trees. I looked back at Jer as he is trying to get a rose out of a canister... he droped it on the ground and said "pretend i didn't just drop that" and i laughed and he proposed and i said "YES!" and then i saw the ring tied to the rose. he also had trouble getting the ring untied and so i helped him get it unstuck and finally we got it free and put where it belongs-- on my hand :)

Me with my Rose and my new ring :)

Me and my ring pop ring.. i was sooo excited :P
