Laughter Quakes ; The World Breaks

Shades of red and orange
Wisp their way through the wind
Midnight comes to trade the daylight
And sudden quakes of laughter explode just right

Surrounded by the brief second of a chance
This might be it; this might be the last dance
Crying winds fade to stilled dust
If it breaks the vow it shows coward lust

Awakening calls forever
In the last moment; the last endeavor
Shallow beings have roughed this world
The utter display of a forgotten pearl

Sand that washed upon the shore
With hearts who mend the broken tore
Disasters don't say much about the suffering
Just give those beings a time for buffering

Maybe more; maybe less
Who knows if the time has passed
The hope is lost; and found again
But soon to find this lousy trend

Little Kid Reunion & New Phone

Okay, so you know what's weird but so cool at the same time? Reconnecting with your kindergarten friends. You know, the ones you chased your crush around with (: So oddly and amazingly I have recently done this. My friend Rachel randomly found me on Facebook & we talked for forever! Then, my bestest friend from kindergarten... Krissa found me too (: I guess Rachel & Krissa are still friends & go to Rigby High (: It's so strange, haha! But anyways, so Rachel is so amazing and so freakin' cute! Her family is so big and she has little brothers now. I wish I had a little brother. Then Krissa plays the guitar, sings, and is still the baby of the family like myself (: They both have changed so much & I have not seen them since my mother's funeral almost four years ago. They are the bestest friends I have ever had and remind me so much of my childhood. I remember jumping on the trapoline with them and playing house and my birthday parties with them. It's like all of my memories from Midway Elementary are coming back to me. I wonder who I would be today if I still lived out there. Oh boy, I don't think it would matter much because wouldn't see myself now, but I am glad the changes in my life happened because I like me now (: I have experienced so many things out there and I have never been sheltered. & No matter how hard that might seem, it's only made me stronger people. It's never made me shatter or fall without the knowledge that I would come back up with flying colors. Both of my friends have come so far and are so beautiful. They live out in the same places, I believe and it's kind of funny. You know my mother stayed in the same place, basically, all of her life and she really loved to travel. I am wondering if we would have ever got out of Rexburg if she had not passed. I couldn't stand Rexburg and I still really can't, but it's a beautiful place and that's really the only good memories that took place other than the ones I had with my mother and cousin up there. Anyways... about the new phone. Yuck. It feels like a day ago I got a new one. It was nice and stuff but now that we switched our plans I can't activate it anymore. So I am looking for a blackberry, maybe or something cool like that. From Verizon of course (: Don't worry, my phone number shouldn't change, no, it won't.
Love ya guys,

Home for Christmas (:

I'd rather be home for Christmas & I'm glad I made it home just in time for Santa to come to my house. (: This morning was wonderful and all the little and big things that I got doesn't compare to the memories I will keep and share with the ones I love. (: It's been a good, full and rough year, but I've found what matters the most to me and I am glad that I get to do the things I do. I am glad for my freedom and the trust bond that me and my father have (: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Remember how much you are loved and if you're not with your family or friends then know that someone is thinking of you (: & It's me!

She wears makeup at night

She's afraid that even in her dreams
Nobody will see her true beauty
She's afraid of that boys feelings
Wonderin' what he's thinkin'
Wonderin' if she's even blinkin'
Is she starin' right in his eyes
Or is she listenin' to all of those lies
She doesn't see that cover up
She doesn't paint those eyes
She wears makeup at night
Afraid of what they'll say
What she doesn't know,
Is that she was made just that way
Just the way she is when she stands
Just the way she is when she smiles
Just the she is when she cries
If only she knew
She would fly so high
If only she'd let what they said...
Roll off her shoulders
She wears make up at night
She's afraid of her own sight

Permit & Mamma Mia

Hey guys! Gosh, it's been a long but filled week. Sorry I have not been able to post much of anything. I just got my permit! It was nerve racking knowing my father was in the back seat, but I made it through! Yay! 6 months of practice and then I'll have my license =] It's okay that It's so long because I can drive in between and this weather really isn't making me want to jump out and drive anywhere anytime soon, really =] <---haha. Well, Mama Mia. I just watched the movie and I adore it. My choir & I are putting it on in February, at least the musical part! Yay! Such great music with a wonderful funny story! I hope to audition for solo's! Christmas is coming and I am glad that my house is warm, this weather in crazy cold! Well I hope to post things soon! Check out my Photography Blog =] ---> in the links!

Beautiful Blessings

This season always helps to remind me of the things I have and the people I have met, whether good or bad, I've always found the beauty in them all. You could say I am a positive person and some might disagree but I find that every little thing is what counts and all of them put together = blessing beyond compare. I appreciate those who make me smile and usually I find myself smiling as I make someone else smile. Making a person's day is a goal of mine and I have often been told that I've accomplished this simple task. No matter how simple it may be, its always rewarded me with such large blessing =] Befriending people is what counts and keep your word is a big deal =]
This picture below is of my beautiful cousins, Jason (4) and Jared (2)! Little children give me warm feelings when they smile or say something unexpected and they are always suprsing me. The most innocent creations out there and I only wished I could have stayed as innocent as they are now.
Such beautiful boys =]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS GUYS!

The picture above is one I took of some traditional snowmen my mother made when she was into crafts and stuff =]
Today I spend most of the day watching the snow fall, taking pictures & decorating the house to make it feel and looks more like Christmas at my house. Now it is very warm and cozy and I am very satisfied with the way it turned out! It looked beautiful and my day was spent happy & warm. I like these kind of days. Laid back but purposeful and enjoyable. Christmas is almost here and I don't know what you celebrate this time of year but whatever it is just enjoy the warmth of your home and the friends that you find =] Also, enjoy your break; if you get one =]
I am looking forward to my break and can't wait for the New Year =] 2009!
Wow, it's seems just like yesterday that it was 2001. Had it really been that long? I feel much older and wiser =] That's a good thing, I guess!
I have been listening to Christmas music all day and nothing else! It definitely gets you in the Christmas mood and cheerful spirit! All this snow makes it even more believable. Of course, if snow doesn't prove winter for you than Christmas should do it =]
It's cold but beautiful here in Idaho & I really wouldn't have it any other way. Something that would be amazing is to spend Christmas in New York. When I went there is was great but just to feel that Christmas spirit in New York would be a great gift! I don't really have a list this year. Anything I get will be a blessing because of the economy and money issues. So feel free to make me something! That's what I have been saying to most of my friends =] I love the homemade!
For some reason it lasts longer and it's more special if someone makes something rather than buying a gift that I eventually give up on. Love you all & enjoy yourselves! Seriously, whether you spend time with your family, or spend it alone, Just remember how much you are loved!
REMEMBER YOUR BLESSING =]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
