2/28/10

so, today, i went to church and then came home and bummed around. i then proceeded to randomly have the urge to drive to the book store and buy books, so i did. im really happy though. i love books. they take my life and put it aside while i step into a new world, a new story that is almost so real that i am a part of it, i laugh, i cry, i think, and i wish my life were like the books. i am so sad when its over. because then i am back to my old boring life (compared to the book, that is). if my life were a book, it would be so boring. but i then proceeded to come home and help cook dinner for my family. my sisters candy and nicole, and their husbands ben and james. and then candy's son ethan. they're the best.

this is my brother-in-law ben (candy's husband)

these things are scurry.

i am eating peanutbutter m&m's. it's my bedtime. but today my family got together in memory of my mother, and it was nice seeing my family again. i hadnt seen some of them since the memorial in october. i love them so much. we are all so different, but we make up the best disfunctional family ever. we make up for eachothers weaknesses with our strengths. its good. i hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to start a new week. keep your head up and stay strong. because i bet that there is someone's day you make better just by smiling and being strong for them. keep that in mind.

"the faces all around me, they don't smile they just crack. waiting
for our ship to come but our ship's not coming back... so give me
something to believe because i'm living just to breathe. and i need something
more to keep on breathing for."

goodbye, for now.

2/27/10

HEY! i've missed blogging! i have a ton more pictures from the deca trip and from earlier this morning, buuuutt, theyre on a different memory card, so i will share them another day.
this is a AWESOME corvette i saw today.

this is my best friend katie. we've been best friends for a long time, 6ish or more years. we have been through the toughest and trying times of our lives together and i hope we will forever. shes my personal model and it comes in handy that her face is so beautimus. me loves her muchos.

"K!"

hahaha, the creepy winkyfaced peanut.

ya dig?

i went skating tonight and i ended up playing tag with some pretty cool people. i fell like 4 times because i was testing my mad skills too much, and now i have bruises. owchie. but thats okay.

today is my mom's birthday. (2/27) uhm, for those of you don't know, my mom passed away last october. i dont really feel like talking about it all that much, but she was the strongest person i have ever known. she taught me so much and she is greatly missed. i love her so much.

so please, dont take anything for granted and make sure to appreciate what you have, because you really dont know what you have until it's gone.

"never go to bed angry."

"don't worry about things you have no control over"

"family always comes first"

my mom always used to say those things. just know that youre family and your parents wont be there forever, so cherish every moment you can with them, because in the end, friends change, school and jobs come and go. hobbies and fads differ, but family is always constant.

"i don't know where i crossed the line, was it something that i said, or
didnt say this time? and i dont know if its me or you. but i can see the skies
are changing no more shades of blue, and i dont know which way its
gonna go. if its gonna be a rainy day, thers nothing we can do to make it
change. we can pray for sunny weather but that wont stop the rain."

goodbye, for now.

2/24/10.. video

oh, and here is giraffe, enjoy.

2/24/10

little giraffe.

this giraffe has inspired me, and kept me from many accounts of boredom. my fun day started out with my trying to capture the giraffe mid-air. you can see how that turned out for me. self timers have bad timing.

my friend will tried. booyah.

and then, all of a sudden, i had the grand idea of tearing newspaper and throwing it into the air, and will had a great suggestion, that we jump! i took him quite literally and i kept jumping while he jumped once and just stood there making me look like a fool.. thanks will. :)

wow.. uhh

imafool.

many witnessed this grand idea take form and be executed, and a few wanted to join in. we tore up different colored paper this time and added it to our newspaper pile.

ready.

JUMP!

AGAIN.

& AGAIN!

and we thought it would be a waste to just have to sweep it up, so we made it out background.

and our sky!

in my eye.

ow. hahahaha.

we salute you, giraffe.

dont feel alone.

so, my lunch table likes to shoot carrots. hence the little orange thing in the air.

and in his hair.

i hope you noticed something in my blog today, happiness. smiles on faces and laughter that is so evident that it can almost be heard. i often take life very seriously. i can be lazy, but i take it very seriously and i hate making mistakes. but ive realized that without happiness in your life, you get depressed very quickly. so, just surround yourself with people who are fun and loving and care for you. have fun doing random things like throwing paper into the air and throwing carrots. (dont hit anyone in the eye though, i made that mistake). just take your time and enjoy life while youre young, while you pretty much have the ability to be anything you want to be in life. do what you love, spend time outdoors and with family and friends. because moments like those are priceless. and dont hesitate to tell someone how you really feel about them, because "tomorrow" might be a day late.

alsoooo, i wont be able to post anything tomorrow and probably not friday because i have a DECA competition, soooo, sorry. :/

"time slows down whenever you're around. can you feel this
magic in the air? it must've been the way you kissed me it must've been the way
today was a fairytale... i can feel my heart beating in my chest."

goodbye, for now.

another shot on the way to school.

my giraffe tights and my giraffe! :)

the adventures of giraffe! check out my twitter for more!

"he took my hand"










i really don't have anything to say today other than this:

don't give up on what you believe in, because who you are and what you stand for makes you you. it makes you an individual and don't falter for someone. and keep your morals in a relationship, if they cant respect what you stand for and your boundaries, they arent worth your time. don't let some guy or girl convince you otherwise.

"i don't know you but i want you all the more for
that. words fall through me and always fool me and i can't react. games that
never amount to more than they're meant will play themselves out. take this
sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time. raise your hopeful voice,
you have a choice."

goodbye, for now.
