My grandpa

Before I left Oregon I went to my grandparents house to visit before I left. I love the country. I love the smell of fresh dew on the green grass, and the soft wind that blows my hair around my face. I love the memories; running though the forest with the horses or walking in the shade of oak trees. Sleeping on the trampoline at night and watching shooting stars, and the sky turn from night to morning. Everything about my grandparents house I love. I love working in the garden with my grandma, or going into town for an attitude adjustment (ice cream) with my grandpa. Grandma's amazing food, the smell of a barbecue and grandpa playing the guitar around the fire. I love every thing and every memory. So going back to visit was really nice. I went to yoga with my grandma, and then once we got back grandpa took us out for lunch. I can put money down that everytime I visit my grandpa will have advise for me. Everytime it is something that is important to me and I always take it too heart. My grandpa is a caring man, and always looking out for his grand-children. He is always willing to help when ever he can. I have a great amount of respect for my grandpa and I'm very thankful for him and all that he has done for me. I'm thankful for the advise, attitude adjustments, and the memories we share. I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to have a grandpa like you. I love you grandpa.

I was off to another intense night at the dance studio. I left around 7:30 I had to put gas in the car, and make it too dance in time. I was about two Min's away from home. I rolled though a stop sign and took off. Then the lovely colored blue and red lights went off behind me. CRAP! Was my first thought. I pulled over and got my license and registration ready to give the officer. I rolled down my window to give the officer my information to find out he just wanted to blind me with his flashlight. I swear I'm blind now. Freaking poe poe! HE asked "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "Um, blinker?" As I smiled. "No, you rolled though a stop sign. There is a stop sign there for a reason. I don't wanna be a smart-ace/(sensored) but stop means to come to a complete halt, prevent from proceeding. There are bikers and people who walk on this road, you need to stop and be aware of your surroundings. This is just a warning." The officer said. "Ok, Ill be careful next time. Thanks". The officer took that as me being sarcastic and not treating officers with respect... opps. He asked me too step out of the car and stand by the hood. If the poe poe did not have a tazer I would have punch him in the face. hahahaha! Got you guys! No I was never asked to get out of the car. Once I said thanks to the officer he said I was able to go. He was a nice officer accept the blinding me part. Thanks to the officers around the world for keeping us safe. Ok that goes to the nice ones. =] Once I got to dance I told my dance instructor I was pulled over, and sorry for being late. The look on her face was funny. I told her it was nothing bad, I did not lead a high speed chase. That will be my next adventure, jk mom. hahaha! I just rolled though a stop sign. Then once I got home I told my mom about it. My night was full of exciting reactions and just an exciting night over all. So I learned two good lessons; know what the word stop means, and don't roll though stop signs. Hopefully you are all educated on the word stop now. =]

I was bored so I did this for fun. Copy, paste and post. I wanna know more about you...

OUCH

So I have been working my butt off. Dance is crazy, the stretching hurts like a mo-foe! But it's good, and I love dancing so Ill get over that. I have been going to the gym EVERYDAY! OUCH! Man do I hurt. Step class is nuts! You squat like there is no tomorrow! And zumba's is even more crazy. Thanks to the Latin physco man that came up with it. Thanks, but your insane! You squat some more and move your hips like shakeria. Yea Ill be in music videos before you know it... JK! So needless to say I cant walk... well I can but its more of a duck waddle. I can't bend over, no way on earth. It's hard to sit down, and when I do it's a pain in the butt to get up. If I could I would probably roll everywhere, seriously. Me and my mom debate on who is more sore... I vote me! Man my legs are outrageously strong though. I barley do anything and they get tight, yea yea. Nice legs for me!

My Bestfriend

Jordan and I have been dating for almost a year. Its been pretty crazy, there is no dening that. Everything that has been thrown at us, we just deal with what we are given and keep pushing, and that has made us stronger. I am very thankful for having you by me while I went though my trials. I'm very thankful that I am able to be here for you. Even when you talk forever about baseball and lifting. I enjoy listening to you, cause its something you enjoy doing. Jordan you are such a comfort to me... Not only are you my boyfriend but my BEST FRIEND! We are so alike! We can almost all the time know what the other is thinking. You are my best friend, I talk to you about everything. You give me your opinion even when its not what I want to hear. I'm very grateful. I love hanging out with you. Even if we are playing cards (im kicking butt) and drinking pop. Or the simple walks where we talk forever. Some times the simple things have the most meaning. I can't explain how happy I am that I have you. =] I Always have a smile on my face when I think about your smile or how we hold hands. I enjoy every moment we have had so far. While you are home and handling stuff, again getting ready to get back out on your mission just remember a few things... ONE, I will always be here for you I'm not going anywhere. TWO, I support you 100%. THREE, I love you! You never left me while I went though hard times, and I'm going to show the same respect for you. I'm not leaving! I care to much about you to just leave. I hope thats ok with you... ;] Well to wrap things up here are some pictures of Jordan! *I get bragging rights, remember?*
