1.
a. A violent snowstorm with winds blowing at a minimum speed of 35 miles (56 kilometers) per hour and visibility of less than one-quarter mile (400 meters) for three hours.

Oh! The Places You Go!

My favorite Dr. Suess book is "Oh! The Places You'll Go" It just has an amazing message to it. And it was my favorite graduation present, including my car and laptop. (Thanks to my second mom Tiffany Miller:))
We read it every year at state winter guard championships. It was my favorite part of the whole season. We all sat there and sobbed because we knew it was the end. Well... After all that babbling. My favorite part of the entire book... well one of the many, is when it says "Except when they don’t. Because, sometimes, they won’t. I’m afraid that some times you’ll play lonely games too. Games you can’t win ‘cause you’ll play against you.
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not, Alone will be something you’ll be quite a lot.
And when you’re alone, there’s a very good chance you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on."
Well, this past week I have been alone quite alot. And needless to say... I don't like it. I don't like feeling like I have nobody there to listen to me or a shoulder to cry on. I know I have people there for me... but it seems like they are only there in bad times.. Not the good as well. This is just me complaining. I know... Happens alot. But what gives me hope.. is this book goes on to state "But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. On and on you will hike. And I know you’ll hike far and face up to your problems whatever they are." So on I will go. Onward and upward. I will face my problems and succeed. 98 and 3/4th's precent garunteed! :) everyone should own this book! It gives you hope that you will make it through those rough patches. No matter what they are!

'Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch'

Whatever you do in life will be insignificant...

--"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's veryimportant that you do it. Because nobody else will. Like when someone comes into your life and half of you says you're nowhere near ready, but the other half says: make her yours forever."

First of all I can already tell you that this post is going to be all over the place so please just bare with me.
So you see I have this favorite movie. And no, it is not cause it is staring Robert Pattinson. Cause personally I don't think that he is that attractive. But this movie gives out a very important message I think. In your own little community in your own little bubble what ever you do may not seem like a huge deal to you but it all comes down to it being a chain reaction. Like the quote at the beginning of this post. My interpretation of that is a lot of people think that the little things they do, like give a smile to a random person that may seem down or since it is around Christmas time say happy holidays as you leave a check stand at a store. Whatever it is that you don't do because you don't think it is going to make a difference. If that makes sense. But since you think that it isn't going to make a difference chances are that others won't either so they won't do it. That is why it is important that you do! Every little think will make a difference I do believe. I have this small story for you. So in high school I had this boy that I had a huge crush on for the longest time. Of course a girl in high school, she is going to make a boy her world. And that is what I did. Well turns out this boy broke my heart but I eventually moved on. Just recently I got a letter from him (because he is currently serving a mission) This letter was completely random and although it may have seemed insignificant for him to do, it made a huge different in my day. And as cheesy as it  is, my life. It made me not so bitter about some things and put me in a happier mood which spread throughout my home. So not even knowing it. He caused a chain reaction. I guess the moral of all of this story is that you should do the little things that you don't think could change someones day... but you never know. It most likely will. Sorry for the random rant. It was just what was on my brain at the moment. I hope you all are having a good Christmas season and you remember to well I guess do the insignificant things!

What I Aspire To Be.

I have always been kinda bugged by those girls that used to dance and quit and then they go to concerts or something and then they complain about "Oh I used to be able to move like that!" Or something along those lines... Then I have realized that I am one of those girls! As I mentioned in my last post, I went to the dance company concert this past week. As I sat in the audience I wasn't really hearing myself say "I used to be able to do that." Or just having a pitty party with myself. I found myself thinking that I miss it more than anything. As I watched one girls solo imparticularly I said to myself right then and there that I am gonna start dancing again. Go ahead laugh at me! But it is never too late to start something that you love to do... again? Haha. So where ever it may be I am going to start taking a dance class. It's not like I do anything all day anyways. For those of you that know me... I sleep pretty much all day! It is kinda sad sometimes actually! So what I guess what I am trying to say is that I am excited to start a new chapter in my life!
So even if I don't look like this one day, Even though it is what I aspire to be, I will be okay. Because atleast I know I tried and that is all that matters right?

Moving on!

I just wanted to take a moment and say how thankful I am to have the friends that I have! It took me awhile to figure out where I belong. I have had a couple friends that have stuck with me through whatever. And I thank them so much for this! Here are some pictures of the friends that are so amazing to put up with me.
This is Nicki! She is my gorgeous brown friend. I love her more then I could probably ever express to her. She has stuck by me through all the boy drama all the friend and school drama basically through everything. She has been a shoulder for all of my tears. I don't know where I would be without her. She is my brown sugar and I am looking forward to many years of friendship ahead of us! :)

This is Addie Alee. She is my best friend. We always have oodles of fun together even if we are just sitting on her couch watching movies all day. I met her in colorguard a few years ago but we didn't become besties until this past summer. I cannot even express how thankful I am to have her in my life. God only made us best friends becasue he knew that our parents couldn't handle us as sisters! :)


And this would be Christian Dean. We have been friends for a really long time but just these past few months we have became even closer. He is like my other half as cheesy as that is! He is probably one of the only people in this world that knows everything about me. I love him to pieces and I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to know him!

Even though I don't have a picture at the moment I would also like to recognize Kelsy Carlson. We for sure had our differences in high school but now that we have actually taken the time to get to know eachother. I am thankful for her in so many ways. I would probably still be lost in this world and not really know who I am. Thank you kelsy for helping me find well me! I love you BLL!!

Even though I still have certain people still in the back of my head and in my heart that I still wish were apart of my life and I still wish that I were close to, I have to move on from. I went to a Dance Company concert at the high school tonight and one of the quotes in the program really hit home (Oh and PS you will learn that I live by quotes. Absolutely adore them!) Everybody loves something that they shouldn't, and nobody wants to let go. When at some point, you have to. I need to start to let go of the past and live in the now. I have been telling myself that for awhile now but I just need to finally take a stand. No matter how amazing some of those friends were... or how rotten some of them were... I am finally moving on! Onward and Upward :)

I think that is pretty much all for tonight! Maybe I should finally sleep? Good plan!

A change in life!

Well who would a thunk it! i am blogging!! ohh weird! but i guess i just needed a place that i could come and i guess vent and let out what is going on in my head. This is the perfect place to do it right? right! Life has just been real stressful lately and today i have decided that i am just going to live each day how i want to live it. and if that is dressing up girly or being in my sweats.. that is what i want to do and i am not gonna let other people effect how i feel about it. If that made any sense? So with the new year approaching quickly... Here is to change. Not just any Change but a positive one! I am excited to start this blogging adventure! Even if no one reads it! :)
