Rails Installer issues?

I've been following along with the build a simple ruby app, and after fixing a syntax error last night everything was working fine. I go to my terminal to run a rails server today and this is the code I'm getting:

Hey Brian Goldstein, what's on line 19 of your app/models/user.rb file? That is what seems to be causing the error here. Can you paste it?

sure:

whole file: 

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :confirmable, :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
          :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable

   # Setup accessible (or protected) attributes for your model
   attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name 
   # attr_accessible :title, :body

  validates :first_name, presence: true

 validates :last_name, presence: true

 validates :profile_name, presence: true,
                       uniqueness: true, 


  has_many :statuses

  def full_name
   first_name + " "+ last_name
  end
end

Just noticed a small syntax error above it, but line 19 is the "has_many: statuses" line.
