No time

Sometimes you just have to walk away..

This is going to seem like an Emo post, but it's really not. I have the day off and I have a lot to do, one of which is cleaning out my inbox. Whenever I hear something that I like, a quote, a song, a thought, I always email it to myself. Here is a song that I really enjoyed at one point. I think it's beautiful. and true.

"They say if you loves somebody then u have got to set them free, but I would rather be locked to you than live in this pain and misery."

We are 90% sure that we are going up to Mammoth together this weekend to go snowboarding which means we will get to see Keith!!!

Happy Monday

Mama

When I was a baby, my mom used to rub the top of my forehead to the bottom of my nose until I finally calmed down enough to fall asleep...Sometimes I still ask her to do that when I can't sleep..

When I was a little girl I had a dream that my mom wasn't really my mom and I knew because the mole she has on her collar bone was gone. For months I always touched that little piece of skin on her before I went to bed so that I would know it was her.

When I was a little bit older, I used to ask my mom to hug me when she tucked me in bed and would pull her in bed with me...Every time. And I thought it was so funny that I was so strong...Looking back, she probably just let me.

When I was a Preteen, my mom would cheer for me at my softball tournaments. She would cheer the chants really loudly and count how many times I would pick my wedgie. I got the grand total at the end of the game. (Those shorts were annoying)

When I was a teenager, my mom would make me and my friends shots of Orange Juice in the morning because we HATED it...She also poured our milk in margarita glasses. To this day, I never drink out of a regular cup.

When I went away to college, my mom exhausted herself to the point where she couldn't walk so that she could set up my dorm while I went to my first sorority meeting. She left me a sweet note, and though I know she cried the whole way home, was strong for me.

When I graduated college, I moved back in with my mama, and we started a relationship way more than mother/daughter. She encouraged me to follow my dreams, and we started reading the Bible together.

A few months into living at home, I hit a low point..That's when my mom repeated all the above experiences. I didn't pull her into bed with me this time, she was just there. She rubbed my nose until my tears stopped and I fell asleep. She made me laugh, not about wedgies this time, and she made sure I kept eating when I didn't want to. She kept encouraging me to follow my dreams, and a fews weeks later, that opportunity came.

I moved to Los Angeles. My mom again helped me pack my things, left me a sweet message, and off I went. Not a single day goes by that I don't miss this woman.

She can't sing to save her life, She is an amazing dancer, She loves so much she can't help but cry all the time, Her laugh is absolutely HYSTERICAL, She has a serious issue with sweets and eats until she is sick, She is OCD about being clean and drives ppl crazy, She has the biggest heart I know, she has MS and can STILL break it down like it's her job, She encourages her family, She is one of the strongest people I know, Her feet are always cold, She loves it when people chops her legs, you can always find her in the bath tub, All my friends have seen her in her underwear because she chooses to not wear pants at most time, she lives in a bathing suit from March-Sept, and she is my best friend...

Miss you Mother Dearest...

You are a Cinema

Ladies, Be warned. If you so choose to watch the below video, you will cry. So just be ready if you do. Not gonna lie, I saw two guys cry watching this. haha. So the below is a couple friend of mine that I go tto church with out here and I saw this a while ago when they got married.. BUT recently I have seen it all over facebooks of people who do not know them. and I realized that my precious friends video is getting BLOWN UP all over youtube! When you hear the song You are a Cinema, that is actually Jason singing it!! Then below this video is another version that I love that goes crazy in the clubs here in Hollyweird.

..I could watch you forever..

Last Friday Night...

Happy long weekend. Last night we all went to my friend Ryan (Sassi Lassi's DJ show in Hollywood) We don't usually make it out there because it's such a pain, and since the majority of our friends are guys, they do not enjoy paying to get into clubs. BUT we make exceptions for Sassi because we love him..and he did amazing!

My Roommate Rico just got a new camera, so he snapped a lot of in action shots. This first one is my most treasured. The cutie below's name is Cal. He is from Timeflies Tuesdays...I found one of his youtubes from a friend, and have listened to him ever since...so for about 2 months. When I was in the club, I saw him, and had to go talk to him. Rico didn't even know who he was, but thought it was funny that some guy was "mackin' on me"...He didn't know that I will probably frame this. Look how giddy I look hahaha. That's embarassing. Oh, and I am going to Cal's show in about 2 hours! He got me and my "girls" on the "list"..oh Hollyweird yeeeeeeeee.

The crew

Devin probably trying to protect me or make me dance with him and Karl

Dancing. I think?
Happy Weekend

Nothing Less

Dear 2012,

So far you have been nothing but beautiful to me. From ringing in the New Year on a random persons roof with about 50 mormons and my best friend Maggie to the warm cup of hot chocolate with a candy cane hand made by my precious roommate Brandon that I am currently sipping on, You have just been perfect.

I am really excited for this year. 2011 was filled with change. It was one of the most incredible yet challenging times I have ever been through. The way God has changed my heart, shown me his faithfulness, and is growing me as a woman abiding in his love is something I am grateful for now, but I know I will be grateful for eternally.

When I think back to March of 2011 and how I got to be where I am, the only thing I think is that there was no other way to get me to RIGHT here but the way God planned it. I honestly don't know how everything worked out, fell into and out of place, but I know he did it just right. Pain, Joy, and all.

I have gone from trying to figure out WHY things happen, and focus on figuring out God and knowing his heart. That seems like a pretty simple statement, but the weight of that shift of understanding has rocked my world. It's also something I have to remind myself of secondly (haha i would say daily, but let's be honest, it's every second I have to do it)

Me and Maggz Motto for this new year is NOTHING LESS...

We got this phrase when at Britts wedding which I will post about later. We met this couple...this team. They were taking photos for the wedding. They were just awesome people with a very lovely relationship. One worth emulating. Maggie looked at me, squeezed my hand, and said "Nothing Less". And it kinda stuck with us the rest of the trip.

So for 2012..I am not going to settle for anything less.

What that means, is I am not settling for anything less than what God has for me. To remind myself of this, I bought this ring that I am wearing on my left ring finger. It reminds me of a crown cuz it kinda looks like it. Every morning since I have bought it, I consciously put it on, and remind myself of the Love God has for me. I outloud quote some scripture pertaining to the love he has for me, and then I tell him I love him back...cuz I do.

Happy 2012. Here are some photos

hehe this made me laugh. and question if my mom became a mormon while I was away
Absolute joy and laughter with my family
Got to see some sweet Georgia boys. and I ate it up...and some cake too
