Best. roller coaster. ever.




Today was just an ordinary day. Just like all of the others. Except everyone was in an exceptionally good mood. Sarcastic comments were taken lightly and interpreted as funny, giggles were passed quite a bit, and we had a few breakdowns... but we got though them (love you, Hannah!) hehe.



Have you ever wondered why people lie? I have been pondering that thought as of late. I have narrowed it down to a few reasons, but I'm willing to get your imput on any that you think I missed...



1. Insecurity

2. Desire for attention

3. To protect themselves

4. To hide something

5. To make themselves look better in front of others

6. To make themselves feel better.



I just wonder sometimes why people are willing to go to such extremes to lie? Like take for instance the whole Akon age thing. Thats just totally ridiculous. Just because he's 31 doesn't mean he has to lie and say he's 21. He's not at the end of his line, he's just older than some of the other starlets out there. But honestly... who cares?? I prefer people to be honest and truthful... even if it's painful. I have always been one to like honesty. I used to tell on myself when I was little. lol. It's funny, but I'm glad I did because my conscience would eat me up until I told. It was especially worse when I did something and let someone else take the blame for it. :-( Ahh the innocence of youth!



There was no particular reason for this post other than it was a meditation of my heart. :-)



Currently Wishing I Was Listening To: "The Best Day of My Life" by Jesse McCartney (not usually a big fan of his, but this song is pretty good.)

Currently Should Be Doing: Chem and Algebra II Work

Currently Wish I Was Doing: Catching zzzzz's or listening to cool music

Currently Wish I Was In: The Bahama's or some place warm.

    I love that roller coaster! =)


    I think those are probably the main reasons for lying. I can't think of anything else

Not Much but Just Enough

It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life.  One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind.  Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me.  As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time.  I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do.  At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses.  It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....

NO. I did not paint my shirt!

Ok, so I bought this shirt at American Eagle this past week, and thought it was cute. It's all white, with an iris on the front of it. I love it. It fits surprisingly well, but the only problem... people keep asking me if I painted the iris myself. My dad asked if I made my shirt. Hannah asked if I drew on it with markers. ITS ARTISTIC! But I didn't do it!!! I didn't draw the Eagle emblem either. Oh my gosh.... I am so annoyed! So the count down to Disney World begins... officially 6 days until we leave! As the trip ooches closer, our excitement becomes more uncontainable. I'm dying to go on the Rockin' Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, and the Tower of Terror. Because it will be two of the littles' birthdays while we are there, we'll get to go to breakfast with Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Minnie... i think. We'll also get to see our friends the Krayzels!!! I am so excited about it. It will be great fun The Official Countdown... 6 days

2.0.1.2.

When the ball dropped at midnight this year it was different. 2012. A new year, a fresh start. New Years has always been magical to me for some reason. I guess it's just the thought that maybe this year will be better than the last - it's a time for reflection and assessment. I do it without even realizing it. It's like a much needed restart after getting through the busyness of the holidays; all the visiting, shopping, cooking, preparing. For some it's exciting, for others its a yearly struggle. New Years is like pressing the fast forward button to a new chapter. Life comes to a halt suddenly, we flip the page, and keep moving. It's such a lovely feeling. Everyone talks about resolutions. "In 2012 I will [_____]." Get healthy, go to church, blog every day, write in my journal, read my Bible daily. Fill in the blank with whatever your resolution may be. But after the first two weeks burnout happens and we revert back to how we were at the end...
