Texting And Driving{31/365}

Last night on Extreme Home Make Over Edition, they did it on a family that had lost their daughter. She had been killed when her truck went off road and rolled over. The cause of the accident was texting and driving. She was ejected from her car when it rolled because she wasn't wearing a seat belt. Her name was Alexandria Brown. Her family has traveled all through out Texas high schools spreading the news about they're daughter and telling teens not to text and drive. When Extreme Home Make Over did they're show, they also chose one high school from each state to sign the pledge: Remember Alex Brown (RAB). Out of all the schools in Nebraska, my school was chosen.

She said she wanted to change the world or die trying.
She died, but she's still changing the world.
Remember Alex Brown.
Don't text and drive

Sunday Snapshot: Skates

Can you tell what these are?
Did you guess it yet? Yes? No?
How about now?
What do you think now? (:
Okay well if you haven't guessed them yet, then here they are! :D
SKATES! Hockey skates to be exact (: I've been begging for a pair of skates since i went ice skating during Christmas break with my friends. And since there is a lake right behind our house i'd be able to use them without having to go to a skating rink. (or well at least until the ice starts to melt then i'll have to wait) So last night my dad decided to take me and my siblings on a surprise trip to Sports Authority. I knew we were going to get two hockey sticks cause we needed them, but i had no idea he was going to let me look, and try on the skates. So after many tries of different skates. Figure skates, girl, skates, and a bunch of different sizes in hockey skates, we ended up buying the hockey ones. And let me tell ya, i'm just one happy camper! Can't wait to go test out these babies (:

Hearts {30/365}

 As the years have gone by certain things have become trends. like certain words. A lot of words used now (by teenagers) are "lol, fail, epic, lamo, ect" I've also noticed other things like hand gestures (the good kind!) come into play. Like the making of a heart with your hand. It could be just your hands or your hand and someone else's hand.



Coco Keys {29/365}

Ack! i'm so behind on blogging D: Gotta catch up!
On Firday my little sister's school had a Coco keys night to help bring money in for their school. I some how got dragged into going. I admit it wasn't so bad after a couple of hours becuase i ended up finding someone i knew there haha. Overall i think i had a really good friday. Swimming in the winter, sitting with the Seniors at lunch (and next to someone i like :D  ps. watch seniors have dirty minds lolol) and spending some time with my father. so over all pretty good friday (:



A little bit of {28/365}

i bought this for my bathroom before we moved into our new house. I knew i'd need for a little bit because when its dark and your in a new place you just don't know where things are. I've pretty much figured out where everything is at, i just can't bring myself to remove this pretty little decoration! So for now it stays, until my mom makes me pull it out of the wall :P
A little bit of Christmas left (:

Smile {26/365}


Sometimes you gotta laugh through the tears, smile through the pain so that you can live through the sorrow.


Always hold your head up high, even if on the inside you're about to cry. Pretend that nothing's wrong at all. Close your eyes before you fall. If you can't see it, it's not there. This is life, and it's not fair...


Believe it or not, everyone have things that they hide. Believe it or not, everyone keeps most things inside. Believe it or not, everyone, believes in something above. Believe it or not, everyone, needs to feel loved

Missing him {25/365}

Have you ever had that one friend, you were super close to. Whether it be a guy friend or a gal pal. Mine happened to be a guy friend. We met in 7th grade, when i went to go shadow at the high school i was thinking of attending at the time (and now am!). I hadn't been allowed to go outside for marching band practice with my person i was shadowing so i was pawned off on to, lets call him JT. Though i was only with him for one period (40 minutes) it was fun. I periodically saw him throughout the day due to passing periods, and he seemed to like me pretty well. As a joke i was his girlfriend, and we both played along. On that day i shadowed there was a pep-rally going on. So i got to sit in the band section with JT and my shadower. I was a very happy girl. After i was done shadowing, we lost contact for a while. Until my freshman year. Freshman year i was given fourth free, in which JT and a couple other of my friends had. I was ecstatic. I was so happy to finally be able to catch up with him. We talked a ton and our friendship grew. We became very close. When ever seeing each other in the hall way there was always some sort of contact, a hug, a high five that turned into a hand holding till we had to let go, or even a friendly smile. As my freshman year came to an end and spilled over into summer we still remained very close. Texting each other at least once a day most times more. Then JT got a girl friend, we still talked every day and even one time met at the park near my house. It was just a friendly meeting, and i gave him a bracelet to match my own. A symbol of our friendship. But as sophomore year began, something seemed wrong, we were growing apart. No more texting everyday, hardly seeing each other in the hallways. It was tough, but i learned to live with it. It became months span where we would go without talking to each other. And it hurt. I finally told him what was wrong and how much i missed him. I'm really hopping that this may be the start of putting our friendship back to some what of the way it used to be. JT if you ever do happen to read this, i want you to know that you mean the world to me, and that i love you and miss you everyday.

Sunday Snapshot: Family

Family:
You don't choose your family.  They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.


The family.  We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.


Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.

Mini Blizzard {23/365}


So last night after coming out of Church we were greeted with the lovely sight of a mini blizzard (:
Snow blowing everywhere, wind whipping your hair around, and the clod nipping at your face.
I wanted to take pictures so bad, but camera was dead on battery and was charing. So finally at 11:30 pm it was done and i was raring to go take pictures! Sadly my parent's wouldn't let me go outside to take pictures in the mini blizzard so i settled with playing with the shutter speed. Here's how the came out.








And this is what i took this morning! It looks a little bit different then from last night! :P












AND this is the result of me getting locked out of the house in only a hoddie and sandals when its like a heat wave of  3 degrees out!






Hope everyone is staying warm!
