Last Week of School

I remember that night.

I remember it well.

I tried to be funny,
but just thought "Oh well".

I have been in poem mode lately! haha!

That poem was about the only blind date I have ever been on. I was compelled to accept the offer my friend had made to set us up after I had done some facebook research.

That night was funny. I was trying so hard to not be obnoxious and I was trying to be as funny as I could, while still keeping it in my normal-ish range.

After the night was over I thought to myself "I haven't been on a date I actually enjoyed in awhile. But he is too cute for me, so I will probably never see him again. There is only a week left of school anyway."

I was willing to just let it all go. What were the odds of ever seeing him again anyway?
Our blind date was a group date..thank goodness (to ease the awkwardness of not knowing one another). But I didn't think I was proficient in how I displayed myself, so I kind of just went "Oh well" after it ended.

To my surprise, he asked me the next day if I would like to go rock climbing.

We've been dating pretty much ever since! :)

I'm Alive.

Oh hey...how are you all doing? Not that I really expect you to respond....

But guess what?

                                                                 

I haven't really done a blog post in awhile. Oh sure, I've been posting churchy things up the wazoo....but I haven't actually just done a ramble post in awhile. 

Oh and before I get to far into whatever it is I am going to say (because I honestly have no idea at this point, just figured it was time to blog) I would just like to let you know that my post title is not because I almost died or something. Because I didn't. "I'm Alive" as in, here is a post that is all me.

But...I've been way busy. Boyfriend. Two jobs. Sleeping. That is how my summer has been going...which in other words means fantastically great! I should be able to afford school, if my financial aid goes through...if not, I'm screwed for this year. Which will tick me off because I am already behind. Dad was a victim of ID Theft this year, and that has screwed EVERYTHING up. Yup, including financial aid. So here's hoping the school sees past all that and gives me the full amount even though the deadline passed. We've seriously been trying to work all this out since tax season...and we are still dealing with it. :/ Super frustrating.

My favorite times of this summer have been with Stephen. Duh...of course! ;)

[I am trying to put a picture of us in this space right here...but it keeps going up to the first part of this post....dumb.]

Yeah...I don't know...maybe I've become blogger impaired or something....because I am definitely having a hard time putting this picture where I want it. Okay so now I am putting more pictures in and trying to put them on the sides of the post, because apparently that's all I know how to sort of do. Just kidding...that looked horrible..so I will just keep the one. With two pictures, it was hiding words. Can't have that on a blog.

Tomorrow is Pioneer Day and will be the 3rd summer in a row that I haven't dedicated my life to band. :D I'm not upset about that at all, even though I never hated band that much.

My Child

Don’t worry my child, for I am here with you,

I watch you in all that you do.

I created the heavens and earth all for you,

I know what you were sent here to do.

I created you in my image so you could see what power you possess,

even though you feel like life is a mess. 

My arms are always open wide to your embrace,

just remember it’s not a race.

Don’t worry my child, I know your pain,

I just wish you wouldn’t complain.

For if your trust in me,

I can set you free.

No matter what you have done, remember me,

I’m always there, waiting for your plea.

My child, I will never stop loving you no matter what you do,

So here’s a clue:

Remember me in all your deeds,

and I will fulfill all your needs.

I love you more than you could ever know,

and when you know it your face will glow.

Remember this and you will see my hand in your life,

you can be happy despite your strife.

Fear not my child, for I am here,

With me, all is clear.

Cheese Please!

So what if I have been posting lots of Mormon-y videos lately. haha oh my goodness. Some of them are so cheesy I can't help myself! Cheesy yet I started to tear up a bit (emphasis on bit....I wasn't balling).

Cheesy is good. I love cheese.  Favorite dairy product.
