Happy Birthday

No it's no one's birthday except for this Blog, It's my blogs birthday today! It's two years old. And if you don't believe me check out my first post. It's called Normal Monday

WE should take a trip down memory lane, See if I can find some of my most memorable posts. I'm sure there are some, I do have 2 years worth!!

There have been several posts, some funny, some serious, some that just didn't make sense at all. But through it all I have been faithful, well somewhat faithful. There are a few months where there is just one post. Like the month of October 2005.

I've posted some interesting things like my car accident, my flu shot--twice, and of course there's always my crazy ramblings.

I've also talked about some very serious things, this would include my love life, which didn't exist at one point during this blog. But I wrote a few things about it. Like Secrets, and more recently Restlessness.

I've also posted loads of pictures, of many people too. Like Linny, Kelley, Kyla, Heather, and well others.

there's been post when you guys have been really great friends when I was depressed!!

I've also wrtten many lists:

100 things

Questions

Things I want

What makes me...me


Well that's the recap of some of my most memorable blogs, I'm sure there are a lot more, and there is an archive if you want to look at them all. Good luck, and happy searching.

Love You ALL

So Much in a Song

well I'm going to take a lesson from Lindsay and Kyla and putting a song in a blog. Actually how it started was I was talking with Lindsay about how she has such insight to a song, usually when I hear a song, I just think: "oh, I like this" But driving home from school today that's not what happened. I actually felt something from this song, I understood what she was singing about and all I wanted to do was sing just along with her.

I've been tellin' my dreams to the scarecrow

'Bout the places that I'd like to see

I said, friend do you think I'll ever get there

Ah, but he just stands there smilin' back at me

So I confessed my sins to the preacher

About the love I've been prayin' to find

Is there a brown eye'd boy in my future, yeah

He says. girl you've got nothin' but time

But how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know, that you were born, you were born to fly

My daddy, he's grounded like the oak tree

My momma, she is steady as the sun

Oh you know I love my folks

But I keep starin' down the road

Just lookin' for my one chance to run

Yeah, 'cause I will soar away like the blackbird

I will blow in the wind like a sea

I will plant my heart in the garden of my dreams

And I will grow up where I'll wander wild and free

Oh, how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know, that you were born

You were born yeahYou were born to fly

So how do you wait for heaven

And who has that much time

And how do you keep your feet on the ground

When you know that you were born

You were born to fly fly fly fly

Yeah, now why it really hit me. Lately I've been finding that I'm yearning to grow up, to pursue my dreams. I might be cause I'm in Pediatrics right now, and I absolutely love it. It makes me realize the purpose in my life, why I chose nursing. so it reiterates my dreams being just aroinf the corner.

And you know the verse about the parents, well that's me, I love my parents, I love them both ever so much. BUT...I want to be on my own, I want to be making my own descisions, deciding when things need to be done, deciding my own descisions without consulting with anyone. I know I have my car, and I have a whole lot of freedom, considering I can come it at 3 am and have my parents not say anything is impressive. IT's just not the same though as living on your own, living your dream. I find I'm just like this girl...my head is in the clouds cause I was born to FLY!!

Josh Groban Kick

so I'm going through a Josh Groban phase right now. I had his CD blaring in my car all day yesterday. And I'm addicted to the song "When you say you love me" I never realized how poetic that song is, and then sung by Josh Groban just makes it all the better. Some other Josh Groban Favorites include "My Confession", "The Prayer" (even though Celine Dion and Andre Boccelli do a better job at it) "When it rained" and of course "you raise me up" "Oceano" is very good as well. Ok, my whole Closer CD is just wonderful. But here are the lyrics that i find so poetic.

"When You Say You Love Me"

Like the sound of silence calling,
I hear your voice and suddenly
I'm falling, lost in a dream.
Like the echoes of our souls are meeting,
You say those words and my heart stops beating.
I wonder what it means.
What could it be that comes over me?
At times I can't move.
At times I can hardly breathe.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

You're the one I've always thought of.
I don't know how, but I feel sheltered in your love.
You're where I belong.
And when you're with me if I close my eyes,
There are times I swear I feel like I can fly
For a moment in time.
Somewhere between the Heavens and Earth ,
And frozen in time, Oh when you say those words.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
For a moment, there's no one else alive

[bridge:]
And this journey that we're on.
How far we've come and I celebrate every moment.
And when you say you love me,
That's all you have to say.
I'll always feel this way.

When you say you love me
The world goes still, so still inside and
When you say you love me
In that moment,I know why I'm alive

When you say you love me.
When you say you love me.
Do you know how I love you?

My BBQ

Well yesterday I had my first Nursing Society event. I had a BBQ, and people actually showed up. I was impressed, and happy. I knew for sure a few would come, but some nursing students from other years came as well. It wasn't just my class. At first it was. But then more started coming, and then more, I 'm not sure how many actually came, but I only have 12 burgers left out of 72, and only a package and a half of hot dogs. I'm glad so many came. We were set up right outside Irving Hall by their parking lot. Two BBQ's going, one table with veggie trays, and some chips and pop. People just helped themselves, but atleast it was an event. Atleast we did something and it was a success. I know there will be more events to come. But what they will be who knows!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Well, I had quite the busy go here, go there weekend. And I spent most of it with Andrew. That's not a bad thing either since I probably won't see him till his birthday. It was a jammed packed weekend.

First off I went Friday night, Andrew and I finished watching "The Mummy Returns" and I realized I didn't own "The Mummy". I had thought I owned both movies but I was wrong. We then went to a concert Starfield, they were awesome as usual, I have seen they 4 times. This time I actually bought their CD! Which I LOVE! Then I went home, later than I probably should of, but oh well.

I then worked the nest morning, from 7am till 3, yes it's loads of fun. I then went to Thanksgiving diner at Grammies (whichis really my great aunt, but I call her grammie. Saw the family. I saw Haily and Chloe, I haven't seen them in a while. They came right up to me and gave me a huge hug. I'm the oldest grand child, which makes me very cool in their eyes. Andrew came with me. I have no idea if he was scared out of his mind or not, but we got food, and pie for desert, that's not a bad deal.

That night we joined up with Nick, Andy, Bryan and Lindsay and went in town to sebastians and the Alehouse. Where we had some fun, we walked through town, there's a picture of me on a street corner with Andrew, it looks like he's soliciting my services, but sadly I don't offer any services and he was out of luck. Went home at a not to late time (3:30 isn't bad??)

The next day was sunday, that was a full day. Church, then diner at Andrew's grandparents house. I raked leaves, I'm so very proud of myself. I also learned so many little stories about Andrew. Being the oldest Grandchild is fun isn't it?? His family was great. After diner we went back to his house, watched a Jackson special (previously taped), and some other music videos, and finished watching Tango and Cash.

As you can imagine I slept in Monday morning cause I was exhausted. I then got another Turkey diner from my mom. She wanted to make it. and I ate it, I wasn't going to pass that up. So all around a good weeend wouldn't you agree. I didn't get any work done, but I did enjoy myself.
