Moving On...

Growing up. This past week I have felt like i really have been growing up. I have gotten a car, packed up my stuff, and moved four hours away from my family and friends. I've never felt so grown up before in my life. I am finding a new a job and a couple days ago I went shopping for my own groceries! Walking down each isle made me feel like I was actually doing something for myself, by myself. I never knew I could feel so grown up in only a few days. There have been so many people in my life that have helped me get to where I am today.

With the help of my parents, my sisters, and Blake, I am able to enjoy where I am and who I am!!

*l-O-v-E*

In our life we all seek love. But what is love? I can't answer that question, I don't know exactly. But, I know the feeling. I know who loves me and who I love in return.

Life is exciting. Life is worthwhile. Life is crazy. Life is sad. Life is mysterious. Life is lonely. Life is comforting. Life is... Life =]] We all need to live it, embrace it, and enjoy it. I find that when I enjoy life most... I am with the ones I LOVE. So... Here you have it. LOVE. Threw my eyes, and the eyes of a select others. Enjoy =]]

Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, Love is sincere, Love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful.
Obtaining it isn’t always easy but when you have it... it's yours, don't let go.
Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.
Love urges you to move forward && not give up.
Love does not come to an end.
It has no time limit
Love has no awareness of merit or demerit; it has no scale... Love, loves; this is its nature.
Love is never-ending
"Love frees us of all the weight and pain of life." -Sophocles
Love picks me up, && tells me it will all be okay =]]
"We love because it's the only true adventure." -Nikki Giovanni
let's write a story... you can be the prince, I'll be the princess... We'll have an adventure!
Love is everything it's cracked up to be. It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more. [[put it all on the line]]
Love is always stronger then than the storm.
"Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness." -Oliver Wendell Holmes
[[happiness is a gift from God, God gives us the key]]
Love makes your souls crawl out from its hiding place.
it's soothes the soul, like a sip a water after being in the desert
"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." -Mark Twain
[[it's the only way to live]]
To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven. [[i want heaven]]
Love does not make the world go round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
[[This ride is addicting... you never want to leave]]
"Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit." - Peter Ustinov
Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever.
To love a person is to learn the song that is in their heart, and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.
"We can only learn to love by loving." - Iris Murdoch
"Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." Fairy tale's are unique, each one is different and each one has a purpose.
"When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out." - Elizabeth Bowen. Like when you go through a tunnel hole your breathe and think of that person.
"Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, the hope in tomorrow, and the joy in the heart."
"If I know what love is, it is because of you."
"There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved." -George Sands
Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it is never proud.
It rejoices over the evil and is the truth seeker. Love protects; preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life.
Always stand steadfast in love, not fall into it.
It is like the dream of your matter of affection coming true.
It enhances the relationship and comforts the soul.
Love should be experienced and not just felt.
The depth of love cannot be measured.

So there you have it love! There are many people that I love, in many different ways. I love my parents. I love my siblings. I love my nephews. I love my boyfriend. I love my friends. and I love, love. It makes me happy, and it makes my life worthwhile!

So I guess this post was written so that I could thank those in my life that I love. Thank you. Thank you for showing me you care. Thank you for making me apart of your lives. I hope that throughout my life I'l be able to return the love!

I love you.

life....

Hello...
So I know that my blog is probably read by pretty much no one but I thought that since I am sitting here not doing to much, I'd post an update!

Lets see... In April, I went on a double/blind date, it was with my friend Teeny, her fiance Landon, and his cousin Blake. The date was SO much fun and Blake and I hit it off GREAT! He is now my boyfriend and I am most positive that I am madly in love with him! Since we have met we have gone on oh so many adventures! In May we went to Vegas for Teenys surprise birthday with Missy and Amanda! In May .... I GRADUATED!!! Walking down the isle and being able to receive my diploma was one of the most satisfying feeling I have ever felt! n June I turned 18! My sisters surprised me with my boyfriend on my doorstep! and a wonderful day of swimming, eating, and movies! Thanks girls!! In june we went to Lake Powell with my family which was an absolute blast! We also went to California where I experienced my first trip to Six Flags which was more fun then I expected! We stayed at Blakes sisters, Ambers house with her and her family! I met Eric and Brook, (Ambers little ones) who stole my heart! We went to the beach where we met up with my parents and the Jones family, and also where my Dad attempted to teach Blake, Allan, and I to body surf! I failed. lol I got to cold to fast to give it my full attention. I've met Blakes parents who are really laid back and chill!! In so many ways they remind me of my parents! (I have come to the conclusion that no one will ever be able to replace my AMAZING parents!) In July Blake and I celebrated the fourth with Amanda Demile and Missy during the day and my family at night! We lit fireworks and enjoyed the view!

Alot has happened since then... I am now moving to St. George to be closer to Blake because traveling four hours to spend less then 48 hours with me was getting pretty spendy pretty fast! I found a GREAT cheap place with some sweet LDS roommates, and I got a good job nannying! That's pretty much what I've been up to so far. Hopefully i'll only get better from here!!

So... It's Friday the 3rd, and I just want to say.... I am SO ready for school to be over! I'm ready for graduation to come and I hope that when that day comes I will be ready! I am SO nervous for the ACT tomorrow... wish me luck :/ I am ready for the next seven months to fly by! and I am ready for July 2010 to come! I know I'm not supposed to wish my life away but seriously.... Things are looking way better in the future then they are now... please... time... fly by! =]]

Peace!

tHe fiRSt BloG!

Hey my fellow bloggers! ah! I have a blog!
So... This past week has just been a treat! lol Kind of I guess... okay, not really no. It's been pretty bad BUT it's been a big eye opener. Throughout life we realize we take things for granted and then trials come and trials go and we discover our true blessings. This past week I have been reflecting on all of my blessings. So... This blog is on....

LIFE'S BLESSINGS!
My Parents:
Remember.... As far as anyone knows we are a nice, normal family! Ha! JAY KAY!! I am so thankful for my parents and the influence that they have had on my life. For making it possible for me to have the wonderful life that I have had! They are amazing and help me stay strong at times when I know I would break and crumble.

My Mom is one of my Best friends.
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A WORD THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!

My Dad is one of the worlds greatest super heroes!
He's always got my back. He always has a shoulder for me to cry on and a lap for me to curl up in. He's seen me happy and he's seen me sad. He knows all!! Lol He is hero. and he is amazing! He makes me laugh! He is my skiing partner and my chat buddy. I can turn to him for anything and expect an honest opinion. My Dad is more than ideal. And I am one of the luckiest girls in the world because he is in my life!

MY SISTERS:
They are All amazing && I love them to pieces every single one of them!
Holly, Jade, Melissa, Amanda, && Vanessa! They have ALL played a great role in my life! I am glad to call them my sisters and I'm glad God loved me enough to place them in my life.
They help me stay strong and they help me get through the tough times!
I love them with all my heart!!
<3
Remember everyday no matter what I've said, Here's what I WANT to say...
I will always love you. Be with you till the end. When no one else is around. I will ALWAYS be your friend.
Having YOU as my sister is like having a BEST FRIEND for life! I'm glad you are in my life and I am so thankful for all the laughter and joys we get to experience together!
I'm blessed to be able to call you my sister, and also my friend. You have, with no doubt, loved me unconditionally, and stood through thick and thin. With you I've shared my joys and my sorrows. My laughter and my tears. You have been one of my greatest inspirations as we have grown up through these past years.

Brothers:
Wow... They sure are punks!! But I love there guts to pieces!:

They hid my toys and broke my dolls But they picked me up whenever I fell. They've stood by my side and held my hand. When things don't go well they've helped me understand. They make funny faces to see how I react! I love my brothers and that's a fact!

Jade-r-rade!:
So patient and understanding.
She doesn't ask for anything and she is never demanding.
She is so quick to give, and such a joy to be around.
She is such a good person guess what... She deserves a crown!!
She has a good heart and she is true and honest.
she is the best sister-in-law and I REALLY do love her!!

My nephews!
They each have the biggest chunks of my heart!
they are my sunshine on a cloudy day!
There laughter fills me with joy and makes me grateful to be alive!
I am PROUD to be their Auntie!

So there you have it, my most simple yet greatest blessings.
The people I love most in the life.
They will always comes first!
I hope I can do as much for them as they all have for me, I never want to let them down.
I thank the Lord every time I am down on my knees for placing them in my life!
I am blessed above all!
