Day 2: 9 things about yourself

1. I love to rescue dogs. Whenever I see a dog running around in the street or something it breaks my heart and I always have to pull over and get their number off their collar and find their home. That's actually how I got my dog Pebbles that I have now, I didn't intend to keep her but I never found her owner.

2. I'm a total romantic. It's kinda ridiculous how in love with love I am!

3. I love babies and old people. The people in the middle are alright, but babies and old people are my favorite!

4. I gag when I take out the trash, I seriously have the worst gag reflexes in the world but I never really throw up... Just lots of gagging!

5. Believe it or not, but I'm a natural blonde. I've been dying my hair since like 6th grade! I've been almost every color, I recently went back blonde my Senior year. NO BUENO! I definitely dig being a brunette more!

6. In 1st grade I broke my femur jumping on the tramp, on my mom's birthday. I was in a body cast for 4 months! IT WAS AWESOME!

7. My Grandma Judy is my BEST FRIEND! I know I could go for her about anything and she would always be there for me. She supports me in everything I do. She is such an amazing example to me and I look up to her so much.

8. I have no clue where my life is going, but I am loving the journey of finding out. Every day is an adventure! No regrets! I love new experiences and meeting new people. "Life is a beach, and I'm just playing in the sand" :)

9. I'm the biggest Batman fan you will ever meet.

10 DAY BLOG CHALLENGE

I'm such a sucker for these day challenge thingys! Love em!!

Day 1:
Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

1. You are such an amazing example to me. You are as beautiful inside as you are on the outside, I strive to be more like you everyday. You are the strongest woman I know and I know NOTHING can keep you down. You are the one person I know who can bring me up when I am at my lowest. You can make me laugh when I just want to bawl. You are my best friend. You and your husband's marriage has always been the greatest example to me, I hope to have a marriage just like your guys some day. You are a fighter and I admire that so much. I am so blessed to have you in my life and I can't imagine what it will be like when you aren't around anymore, I hate even letting that thought enter my mind. I know no matter what you will always be with me, forever.

2. I am so proud to call you my friend, you are such an amazing person. Everything happens for a reason and I know you came into my life for a reason! Some of the best memories of my life you have been there right by my side. No one can make me laugh like you can, most of the time its over something that isn't even funny, your laugh is just contagious! I love everything about you and words can't describe how much I've missed you this last year! Being apart from you sucks so bad but I know in the long run it's just strengthening our friendship cuz girl we in for the loooong haul. You are such a happy go lucky person and I love you for that! Thanks for listening to my endless whines about boys and always giving me the best advice. You really truelly are my best friend and I am so glad you are in my life! I'm so proud of you and all of the progress you have made in your life, you are such a great example to me. I know we have both changed so much in the last year and our lives are completely different but I hope you know I will ALWAYS be there for you because I know you'd do the same for me. Love you boo!

3. I don't even know where to begin with this one. We've been through so much together, I know you came into my life for a reason. You have taught me so much about myself. People always said we were too young to know what real love is, but I know what we had was; no matter what anyone else says. You have taught me how to love and how it feels to truely be loved in return.
We have put each other through so much, the highest highs and the lowest lows and we still care about each other, and yet we're both still around. You know how to make me feel so beautiful, like I'm the ONLY girl in the whole world. When I'm with you nothing else matters, it's just you and me. No one can make me laugh like you can. You are my best friend and no one knows me better than you do. I always knew the day would come when you had to leave, but I wasn't expecting it to hurt that much. When you first left, it broke my heart. I almost didn't want to even get out of bed. It felt like a major part of me was missing. It feels like you have been gone for years, but it doesn't hurt as bad anymore. Things have changed.. I've changed.. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like if I make certain decisions you will hate me and that is something I never wanted. You mean so much to me, and the thought of losing you and not having you be a part of my life is the worst feeling every. But honestly, I am not happy right now and I don't know if I truely will be when you're back either...

4. I wish you'd have more respect for yourself. It's none of my business but you are a beautiful girl but you are selling yourself short and I wish you could see that.

5. You both are two of the most amazing people i know, you have taught me so much and helped me become the woman I am today and I can't thank either of you enough for everything you have done for me. I know either one of you would do anything under the sun for me, you are both so amazing and I don't deserve you. I can't help but thing how much I wish things were like how they used to be when I was little, when you tuck me in at night and help me say my prayers. Back when we used to have family time and we all got along. I know things got in the way and us kids didn't make it any easier for you but I wish you wouldn't of fallen away. I know you are old enough to make your own decisions and that it is none of my business but I wish you'd be the old you again. If I could wish one thing it would be to have you both go back to church, not for me, but for yourself.


6. You are my BEST FRIEND! You are the greatest kid I know and I am so happy to know you. You are the one friend I know will always be there for me. I have known you most of my life and no one knows me as well as you do. You are seriously one of the greatest people i have ever known, you have the most contagious personality. I know whenever am with you it is bound to go down in the books as one of the best nights ever. You have been gone almost a whole year now and I honestly can say it suck so bad. I never realized how much I came to you about things. You are the best listener and you have always given me the best advice. I can't wait for you to come home and for the rest of our adventures together to begin!

7. I think you are a nice cute girl, but seriously get over yourself. Sometimes it feels like you do stuff just to get under my skin. Live your own life and stop trying to be just like everyone else. Be original, not a copy of everyone else.

8. It's time for you to get off your broomstick and get over the past. I know I've never been good enough for you and you'll never approve but guess what? I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ANYMORE! I am so happy with myself and how far I've gotten in life. I know I've made some very stupid mistakes in my life and I fully take responsibility for them. I'm not gonna pretend they didn't happen but I know that's not who I am anymore. Your opinion doesn't matter to me anymore, I'm done trying to impress you.

9. You are turning into quite the amazing young man. I am so proud to call you my (BIG) little brother. You are such a sweetheart and my little protector! You are such a stud and every girl knows it, but the best keep their hands off you are too young to date. You are such an example to me that I should always have a positive attitude no matter what is going on in my life. Even though you have to go through so many trials every day more than any 14 year old boy should ever have to and you are always such a happy kid and I admire that so much. You are shaking your booty in front of my right now, you can always make me laugh! You have an amazing future ahead of you, live it to it's fullest!

10. I don't know who you are yet but I know you are the one I've been waiting for. You are the one person who I feel like I can be 100% myself with. You are the love of my life and the person I choose to be with for all eternity. You're the kind of guy who can just look at my and can make my heart flutter. You write me cute notes and leave them on my pillow when you have to leave early for work. You are the kind of guy who sings at the top of his lungs in the car with me and will break out in random dance moves in the groccery store with me. My family loves you. You have the priesthood and the gospel is as important to you as it is to me. You're the kind of husband who comes home with roses, just cuz it's Tuesday. You're the kind of father who would rather play catch with his kids then be at any sort of business meeting. You are my best friend.

"The lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." ♥

I don't know why but the last couple weeks I have missing Brian sooo much! It's one of the most terrible feelings I have ever felt. I feel like a part of me is missing.. and I just want it back. Brian is serving a mission in Tuscon, Arizona.

He just hit his 5 month mark a couple weeks ago. 5 months.. I know, that's nothing right? He still has so much more to go.. but it feels like he's been out for years. When he first left I was a total and complete mess. The first night was the worst.. I think I got a total of like 2 hours of sleep cuz I just couldn't stop crying. The next few weeks went about the same.. I felt like a zombie walking around. I didn't care about doing my hair or my makeup. Showering was a total waste of time. (joke) But it was weird, I just stopped caring about most things. Don't get me wrong I wasn't this emo depressed girl who walked around with streaming lines of mascara or anything like that. I probably looked the exact same to someone who doesn't really know me. Getting Brian's first letter from the MTC was just about the greatest thing ever! haha I got the same feeling as I would on like Christmas morning! There was nothing I wanted more then to just hear from him. Writing became a daily thing for us, we were so used to texting each other EVERY DAY for the last THREE YEARS that our letters started to feel like reeeeally long texts haha! We'd just tell each other every part of our days. It almost felt like he was here with me, and I with him. It's weird though, time felt like it was going in slow motion. Days felt like weeks and weeks felt like years.

I guess you could say I sorta started dating. Bad move on my part.. Well in some ways. In someways, dating just made me realize how amazing Brian is and how much I care for him. He's honestly the greatest guy I have ever met and so far I haven't met a boy who can even compare. On the bad side it just made me miss Brian even more. II also started to feel guilty about dating the LAST thing I ever want to do is hurt Brian and I know if I dated someone it would. Don't get me wrong it's not like I lock myself up in my room on the weekends listening to sad Avril songs. I still go out and have fun with my friends. Right now I am officially not dating anyone right because I just feel it's a waste of time. Most boys are douche bags. (pardon my french...) If someone worth dating comes along, I'll give it a shot. I'm not opposed to dating new people or anything like that just no one has struck my fancy. People always rag on me about how lame it is to "wait". But honestly I don't care, I'm doing what feels right. Who knows maybe Brian will come home and we'll date and get married and live happily ever after or maybe I haven't met the person I'm supposed to be with. I don't feel like anyone should live trying to stop something from happening. What is supposed to be will be. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
