9/11/2001 I remember where i was and what i was doing.. Do you?

This song came on as i was driving to my moms work. I was sobbing in my car i could barely see to drive. Tomorrow it will be the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center towers, the pentagon, and flight United 93. I was 12 years old and in 7th grade. I was getting ready for school and i looked at Fox 13 news and saw a tower on fire. I didn't understand what it was until as i was watching the second tower was hit. I started listening and i was crying. Even at twelve years old i knew that this was an attack on the US. I knew there were thousands of people dying and there was nothing i could do about it. I went to school, but all we did in our classes was watch the news. We didn't do any work, or learn anything new. We just sat and watched, it was the one day that the class clowns were not clowning around, the bullies were not bullying around. This is a terrible day in our history. Please remember this day. I know i do and i pray for the people who were directly affected by this day. Even ten years later because they still need it. I am proud to be and American where at least i KNOW i'm FREE! and i won't forget the men who DIED who gave the RIGHT to ME!!

Felling low?? Get a recommendation letter!!!

So! i am applying for a couple of scholarships at Dixie so i can afford to go to school, and part of what you need to send the applications in is to get two letters of recommendation. I just got one back and i was almost to tears the things they said about me... good "i'm touched that you said that" kind of tears. You never really realize what you mean to others until you ask them to write people, they don't know, about you. So!!!! If you are ever feeling down about yourself just pretend you are applying for a job or for a scholarship (or you can actually apply :P) and have people write recommendation letters for you. :) they make you feel so good and worth while.

Abby's Shirt Project!

At 10 weeks old my good friend Abby had open heart surgery to repair a hole in her heart and to put in a valve that she didn't have and that of course she needed. Well she will be 10 in october and she has outgrown the valve, so a few days ago she had open heart surgery again to replace it. I have made her a shirt to support her, and i am giving it to her tomorrow. they are stick figures of her and her family representing that families are forever. and on the front there is a sun with rays beating down on her and a silver (supposed to look transparent) bird (dove) that represent Heavenly Father Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost watching over her. :) i hope she likes it. Below are the pictures before starting... front.. and back. :)

and obviously i have not mastered the art of knowing how to upload my pictures the way i want. ....oh well. :)

anyways.....she is still in Primary Childrens Medical Center but she is doing well. she is walking a little bit now. She really is my living angel.

I guess i should update...

I know i know, it has been forever since i have posted. I'm starting to feel bad. I was planning on going back to Dixie this week.... and then realized that i didn't have any money... so that plan was kinda crushed. But i hopefully will get to go in January. so that is good news there. I just started a new job. I work for my dad.... i process rental applications and such. AND answer phone calls... YUCK! but a job is a job, it helps me make money so it's all good. umm other then that there really isn't anything worth sharing yet. so until then... and hopefully it won't bee too much longer (hint hint Jerjer) anywho see y'all later.

Katy Perry - Pearl Lyrics

Such a good song! I just bought the Katy Perry album "Teenage Dream" it is really good! this song is from that album.

For Good

This song has been running through my mind for the past few weeks ever since my breakup. and all i can think about was how great of an experience that relationship was and how i have been changed for good. I wouldn't be who i am today if i didn't know him. Here is for that relationship and for starting a brand new wonderful chapter in my life.

My Happy Ending

I know i am posting a lot of music lately!! but I love music!
