My autobiography ( a work in progress)another death
2007-05-30
today was the wake for my best friend's father. he was only 43. i miss him so much already. it seems like a really bad dream. Chip was the best man i ever met. he was the closest thing to a father i ever had. he was always there to help when i needed it. and he was a great listener. and he was always so full of great advice about life. by far the greatest man i ever met and probably ever will meet. chip was one of those people who you meet in the grocery store line and have a short conversation in passing and he'll stay with you forever. he makes that much of an impression. he was so wonderful. and i will miss him for the rest of my life. i feel so sorry for shelly. she just graduated and two days later she lost her father. i can't imagine how she feels. but i know how i feel and what she's going through must be ten times worse. please pray for the Buchanan family and the Shultz family and the Forester family and all of his friends. we all lost one of the world's greatest men.couldn't do it : (

yesterday my high school had a blood drive. i had been looking foward to it since they did it last year because i wanted to give blood. well i filled out the question thing and then was told i have to wait a year from the day i got my tattoo to give blood. that made me sad. because i couldn't do it.in other news. my grandmother's birthday was yesterday. we had a party at my mother's house. she turned 66. and she's still kicking...yay.
and chris has a new dog that he will be bringing it over sometime this week. it's a Pincher. i think chris said six months old. it's name is Snickers.
that's all for now.
my heart hurts
2007-05-14
last friday i had to take an AP exam. for those of you who don't know who that is, it's an advanced placement exam that if i make a good enough score on, i get college credit for the class. it seriously stressed me out. but i think i did alright. anyway. well afterward, two of my best friends ( who were also taking the exam)and i went and got matching tattoos. they paid for mine. it was their graduation present to me. anyway. we got matching hearts on the front of our hips. they are really cute. chris didn't really want me to get a tatto, but he came and was there holding my hand anyway. that's why i love him. it's growing on him.it hurts so bad though. it's really sore. and i have a nice bruise. it's where everytime i get up or sit down, it hurts soo bad. i think it hurts worse now than it did when i got it friday. so that's why my heart hurts.
No Doubt
2007-05-08
like a year and a half ago i was watching a tv show and it was featuring professional basketball players and their wives. there was a woman who gave her husband one freebee to cheat a year. and for some reason like 2 weeks ago that popped in my head. so i asked chris what he thougt about freebees. and at the time he just answered my question and let it go. but apparently yesterday he thought about it and it really started bothering him. sooo... he called me and asked about it. like why i asked that question. i told him i was just curious and that was all. but he still just wasn't sure. he also has been having a lot of doubts about us and the future of our relationship. so he asked me to somehow let him know that he doesn't need to worry. he wanted me to tell why it's just me and him. why he shouldn't doubt our relationship. why he should trust me. and why i love him. he said if i needed some time to think i could call him back. he said i couldn't just say i love him and to just trust me because i've said that before and it isn't enough.so i got off the phone with him and i wrote. i answered all his questions.
so..i told him that he is answered prayer. i told him it's just going to be me and him because i'm endebted to him. he rescued me from what i was doing and where i was going. i told him that he is exactly what i'd been praying for for years. i cried myself to sleep so many times wanting and praying for someone to love me, to rescue me and to cherish and care for me. and finally that prayer was answered a year ago. i told him all the reasons i love him. when i called him back and read him what i wrote, he cried. a happy cry. he told me he now has no doubt in his heart and mind that we are going to be together for the rest of our lives. yay.
One year today!!

Today is Chris's and my one year anniversary. this is special for the both of us because we've been through alot during the past year. also this is both of our longest relationship. it's amazing to me. because for so long i was convinced no one would ever love me this much. but i found him. his name is Chris and he is the love of my life. I'm so very lucky to have him... he sure puts up with a lot. (he says the same thing about me). We've both sacraficed so much so that we can be together and be happy. i love him so much and as i tell him all the time, i can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.
Up in the Attic
2007-05-01
I wrote this story when I was in fifth grade. This is only a portion of it. I will post more at another time.
"When are your eggs going to hatch Widow Thrasher?" asked Cassie Blue.
"Soon," Widow Thrasher replied as they sat on the parapet around the widow's walk looking for cotton to line their nest. Mrs. Blue and April hopped up with them. It was a beautiful, breezy spring evening.
"We'd better fly home now," chirped Mrs. Blue.
They all glided back down to the rooftop, where their nests were. Just then a wind-blown sparrow whizzed by sputtering,
"A storm is coming! A storm is coming! Fly to safety! Hurry!"
"What? A storm, my heavens!" cried April, in desperation. "How are we going to save the eggs?" Just then Cassie Blue had an idea. She motioned for the other birds to come to her , and twittered her idea quickly at them.
"We'll go and get that scrap of cloth I saw by the oak tree. We can put the eggs on it and each hold a corner of it as we fly to that gable window with the pane missing. We can hide in the attic of the house until the storm passes. "
"What a wonderful idea!" exclaimed Widow Thrasher, "Let's get started."
April flew to the oak tree and picked up the cloth in her beak. She flew back up and met the other birds at the two nests. She laid it down carefully on the mansard roof by the first nest. Mrs. Blue, Widow Thrasher and April carefully rolled the first of the tiny eggs onto the cloth. Finally they succeeded. They each picked up a corner and the egg rolled to one side. They changed positions and tired to save the egg from falling.
"Oh no!" screeched Widow Thrasher as the egg careened toward the ground below. "My egg!
Out of nowhere a blur of brown fuzz whizzed down the nearest tree and under the egg. The birds flew down to the ground and saw that a squirrel had caught the egg with his tail as a landing pad. In fear that the squirrel would whiz away with her egg, Ms. Thrasher said, " You stop where you are! Where is my egg? What are you to do with it? Give it back!"
