Today would have been the perfect day to take pictures. I would have loved to capture a glimpse of lightning. The thunder roared and made me believe I had honestly popped my car tire while parking today. Haha. Well it was an easy day, as will be tomorrow, and I start work Monday so wish me luck. I can't wait to get paid so I can take my long awaited trip to Utah State University campus :) It was tempting to stop there while I was there last week. I won't let it go by next time. Haha.
Until next time...

College
This past week has been quite the eye opener. I am pleased to say that I am attending college for the Summer of 2011. I am Idaho State and I'm loving it. The freedom is so exciting. It's nice to set boundaries for myself and be responsible for me. I am taking a Philosophy class as well as a Psychology class. Both are very broad topics to cover in only 4-8 weeks, but I'm taking all I can in for the next couple of weeks. I also got a job working at Convergys, so I will finally be making some real money I can save for college. I am going to Utah State University in the fall of 2011 and I couldn't be happier. It's my next chapter in life and I can't wait to get started with a full time schedule. I've got family and friends down in Logan, so I don't doubt that I will be a stranger in a strange land. Haha. My dad lives in Washington state right now and since I've already been out of his house for over a year, I'm ready for this next big step. I'm going to try to blog, but as you see it's going to be quite full, my schedule.
I was able to go to Logan, Utah this last weekend to visit with family that I hadn't seen for what seemed like forever. I finally got to meet some of my cousins and see my uncles and aunts along with my Great Grandma Lil. It's been sooooo long and it can't ever be THAT long again. I just realized how much I have missed them and how much their presence in my life means to me.
I was able to take a moment to think of my mother and how much I love her. She is quite the little angel in my life and I'm lucky enough to know an angel. I love you mom.
Until later....

The Survivor
I never thought the survivor would break in front of me
Her heart beat spoke ever so softly
This day never crossed my mind, I believed endless days were ahead
Her life stories unravel at the edge of her bed
I question if I can turn the clock back and end this nightmare
But maybe it's a sign to help me prepare
We don't have every day to ourselves, I'm afraid it's true
We must share and come together, especially when we're blue
I'd become your source of survival, if I knew you'd come back
Forgiveness, gratitude, selfless attitude is something I lack
Before I spent a day in your shoes
There are not enough days to rid our lives of these blues
I might take some time to appreciate
I long to remember your face, to captivate
Encourage me to live again, I'm stubborn without you too
Maybe second chances weren't meant for me and you
Her heart beat spoke ever so softly
This day never crossed my mind, I believed endless days were ahead
Her life stories unravel at the edge of her bed
I question if I can turn the clock back and end this nightmare
But maybe it's a sign to help me prepare
We don't have every day to ourselves, I'm afraid it's true
We must share and come together, especially when we're blue
I'd become your source of survival, if I knew you'd come back
Forgiveness, gratitude, selfless attitude is something I lack
Before I spent a day in your shoes
There are not enough days to rid our lives of these blues

Encourage me to live again, I'm stubborn without you too
Maybe second chances weren't meant for me and you

Living on the moon
Living on the moon
I am just minutes from the womb
I started so eagerly
I began ever so meagerly
I don’t remember a single word
I question if I belong to this herd
Living on the moon
You’d think I’d have enough room
Reaching for the stars
I somehow landed on mars
Bounced around for an hour
The atmosphere is a tad sour
Living on the moon
You’d think I’d need a broom
To sweep away the crusted bits
I float above the shallow pits
In emptiness I cower
Longing for a shower
Living on the moon
You’d think I’d hear a boom!
Reckless and swerving
I rotate with slight curving
I’m only miles from you
But I know just what to do
I am just minutes from the womb
I started so eagerly
I began ever so meagerly
I don’t remember a single word
I question if I belong to this herd
Living on the moon
You’d think I’d have enough room
Reaching for the stars
I somehow landed on mars
Bounced around for an hour
The atmosphere is a tad sour
Living on the moon
You’d think I’d need a broom
To sweep away the crusted bits
I float above the shallow pits
In emptiness I cower
Longing for a shower
Living on the moon
You’d think I’d hear a boom!
Reckless and swerving
I rotate with slight curving
I’m only miles from you
But I know just what to do

Lava on Sunday
Today the weather, of course, took a few turns. It's Idaho. It rained, it poured, it snowed and did I mention it rained? What a beautiful day to go to Lava Hot Springs. The perfection of it all was that the rain would drop into the hot pools and splash my face. Such a good feeling to be with the best kind of friends and family. Thanks for the enjoyable day. Regardless of religious rules to not swim on Sundays, I completely disagree. It's so relaxing and you are free. To think of simple things like water that God created is enough to remember him. I enjoyed my day. Thanks a bunch guys!

Inches to Miles (Inspirational Letter)
Dear friend,
I’m not going to lie to you, because that’s not something I can easily do. I won’t tell you life is simple and kind, because the truth is I’d only make you blind. The moment I met you I knew you were meant for wondrous places. Nothing can stop you including the judgmental faces. I want you to know I’ve never given up on you, because that’s not something I can easily do.
You’re not always going to have me by your side. I hope you know when to draw the line. Jump off cliffs, stand up for yourself, take turns, be blunt, and enjoy the ride. This world will surprise you and the only thing certain is change. You were born to see the best part of the world come to life. You are meant to be an example with not only your worlds but your actions; no matter how tough the classes with all the vocabulary and fractions, you’re not done yet so don’t stop here.
My friend, mistakes have your name written all over them, but that’s okay. You’re courageous enough to learn from them. If only it were as easy to jump or crawl under your trials, but to be honest you must face them head on before they change from inches to miles. You will meet people you adore, and with some you’d rather just close the door. This part of life may be a blessing in disguise and yet another surprise. My friend, I’d love to hold your hand today, but I know you’re already on your way. You may lose this battle, but I’m certain this is your war to win. If you find yourself crying please know it’s not a crime. We all fall down sometimes.
My friend, the beauty of it all is you have the strength inside to find the light. You’ll make the decision to get up and fight. Perfection is not in the books for you, my friend, but that’s not what’s going to get you through in the end. Your bold personality and endless curiosity will take you on paths of unknown. You’ll be thankful when you see how much you’ve conquered and grown. Regardless of the struggles you are handed, I know you will handle them accordingly. You’ve got a talent; therefore, you must protect it ever so cautiously.
People will want to bring you down. It’s only natural to want to frown. I see a sparkle in your eye though, and with great purpose you’ll find another tomorrow. You’re only just beginning your journey. Take this letter as your road map and know I love you, because that is something I can easily do.

Winter Sickness
It's almost as if I've been sick for a month now. The weather has been nice up until today. It started to rain and snow and I'm afraid it's going to stick. I've been coughing with a runny nose and it's endless. Just your usual flu/cold thing, but it's ongoing. It sucks. I've missed some school, but it's not a whole lot to miss. All I have is government and it's nothing I can't read from my text book. I do miss school though and feeling 100% better with all the energy. I haven't been myself lately and so I'm hoping tomorrow will be different and I'll get back to my routine. I still hope I can make my trip to Logan, if no than it will have to be in December. Well, adios for now.
