If you really knew me

If you really knew me you'd know that I love to travel but hate the plane ride and love the road trip.
If you really knew me you'd know I hate sleeping alone,
I once had 2 frogs named Siegfried and Jensen, 
and I don't like boys who soak themselves in axe. 
If you really knew me you'd know every time I go to the movies I bring a blanket and eat sour punch straws. 
I hate cats and love country concerts. 
I eat the whole bowl of brownie batter every time its made and love cereal.
If you really knew me you'd know that I love making a big egg breakfast for the fam and love the smell of laundry.
If you really knew me you'd know that I have eleven nieces and nephews under the age of 10 who I love, i'm the youngest in my family, and am the only one who is single........
I like to be on the lake and be outdoors, I listen to music all the time, and enjoy nice drives up the canyon. 
If you really knew me you'd know I watched Barney till the age of 10, I love cherry popsicles, and I hate the dark.
My middle name is Rose, I love taking afternoon naps, and drink too much Orange Juice. 
One of my favorite things is going to the Drive- in, being with those I love, and eating crushed ice.
If you really knew me you'd know that if my house were burning down the one of many things i'd bring are my scriptures. 
I'm allergic to pineapple but still eat it because I love it so much.
My idol is Celine Dion, i'm obsessed with baby lotion, and am also a Vicks addict. 
If you really knew me...

I remember when.

I remember when I was a little girl and thought 16 was so old. I remember when I was 16 and knew nothing.

I remember when I couldn't have the toy I wanted and dropped to the floor like it was the end of the world. I remember getting in a fight my sibling yesterday and in that moment again, thought it was the end of the world.

I remember when I thought being young was hard.. well I'm now a teenager and still think life is hard. 

I've learned that life doesn't get easier the older you get. I've learned to live in the moment and be happy with no regret.

When I look back I didn't believe that. I remember thinking I knew how life went. I still think I know how life goes and I absolutely don't and probably won't. 

I remember a lot. So many memories that I can't even keep track, but its because of all those memories and I remembers that i've learned all I have. 

I remember going through things then.. but never knew how it would impact my life now. 

I love those I remembers. The good and the bad. Every single day I hope I can say I remember, because its those days when life isn't too bad.
So I can reflect on the amazing life that i've gotten to have. 

My favorite moments are when I can sit back and say I remember when. 

BLACKOUT

A lot of walking around that is overwhelming, 
seeing lots of smiles he didn't expect.
Today is safe, the sun rose




                                                                                                                                               

They fill a possibility covering something up to fly, 
as time goes on.

How to make Lemonade

Do you honestly know how to make lemonade? no, no you don't because the glass of water with 

powder just doesn't count. Lemonade is my favorite drink and i don't even know how to make it right and i'm about to tell you how to make it the best i know. How about at the restaurant when they ask you what flavor you'd like. They ask you that because they have more than plenty to choose from. 

I don't know how to make lemonade perfectly.. but i've had it so many times that i know thats it's best with sugar on top of the glass.

Every time they add more sugar it just makes it sweeter. The more the sugar the sweeter it is. 

I don't know how to make lemonade but i know that the more the sugar, the better it tastes. 

i know that in life when things are hard, when we just smile even when we don't want to, life will be better, maybe even sweeter than lemonade. 

Lemonade has so many different flavors you can try. Right when you get sick of one you can test another. You can find your favorite flavor and share it with someone else and help bring sweetness into their lives. 

We always here the phrase "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade." well what happens when you don't know how to make it perfect? You have to get the right amount of fruit and sugar perfectly to even make it taste right. 

Sometimes even when we don't know how to make it perfectly we can try taste by taste until we get it  right. We can add fruit by fruit and maybe one more teaspoon of sugar. And if we never try the glass of water will no longer have water dripping from the sides because of its refreshing cool. The lemon will be untouched and soon lose its perfect bright shape and color. 

How do i teach you how to make lemonade if i don't even know how? i don't think any of us do because the powder you poor into a glass of water just doesn't count. When life hands you lemons, take the lemon and make lemonade. Cut the lemon and taste it. Try it out and maybe by adding a little sugar it can turn into something sweeter. 

Sad Chair

I like big butts and I cannot lie.

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.

I wish I wrote this poem. The reason is, is because its so short but so perfect. 

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 

And sorry i could not travel both

Thats true in life and thats what i love. it makes me think of taking the right road because we cant take both.

It forces us to take the right one.. and if not we will eventually know for a fact that its the right way. 

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and i took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference".

life leads us into the way were supposed to go. no matter where you think you're supposed to go.

and thats what i love. 

"Yet knowing how way leads on to way, i doubted if i should ever come back." 

Experience life and don't doubt or regret. Trust in your journey and if you head the wrong way at first, who cares.

Love where you are in the now and live in every moment. 

Take a minute

We travel because we're amazed by the world. We're in unbelief of how pretty everything really is. Sometimes we don't realize how lucky we are to live in such a place with mountains surrounding our every eye.

 Our every sight is filled with god's creation from the pine on the tree to the big waters that make up our earth with land. I sit in awe as i watch the still water.. and hear the sounds of the wind. It gives me such peace and comfort knowing i am surrounded by something created from a god.

 It lets me think when i need to think and helps me to just be calm. In that one minute to just be calm. We have crazy lives and its expected of us to keep it balanced. Take a second and just sit. There's nothing wrong with taking a breather from everyday challenge. Sit and think of all you should be grateful for, because we are blessed with this amazing world. So use it. 

We don't live forever so see the world in each and every detail because it is beyond the humans comprehension.

 I sit and let it sooth me. In that one minute to just be calm.
