READY READY

FOR SUMMER

AND

To this day nobody knows why Lacey is licking her phone

An Adventure

I climbed half of R Mountain yesterday. It was a grand adventure. I had a date at 7 and I decided to climb it at 6. So I drove in the icy roads out to the butte. Then I parked my car at the bottom of it and I raced up to the top. I ran most of the way. I was wearing black loafers because this was an unexpected adventure. One in which I wasn't sure I was going to do, until I did it. I made it to the peak of the smaller hill in front of it the main hill. I carried a video camera the whole way. Then I ran back down the butte and barely made it back in time for my date. I actually was late.

Falling

I decided to go running this morning to be healthy, but it's was freezing outside. So I had to get pumped up to go. In my head I was like "I can do this, I'm a dedicated runner as of today, I can do this," and finally I got up enough motivation to go. I start walking down the stairs and the bottom stair looks like it is wet from the rain. I stepped on it and I slipped hard. I fell right on my front door step onto the cement steps. My elbow got scraped up but I walked back in to the house and started yelling, "MY EGO, MY EGO!" And it took me like 15 more minutes to pump myself back up to go. This was my first fall of the season.

Today is Shorts day

I decided it was a good tribute to summer day and I wore shorts today. Not all day but for some of it. I'm excited for summer already...

A PUZZLE

I am so weird...yesterday after I cried for a while I got this surge of energy and I started laughing at everything. Coylou was sleeping and I was bored, so I began pretending every song on the CD I was listening to was put on their for a reason. So I tried to listen really closely to the words but I missed most of them because it was on so soft. Then I started making up words for the songs that applied to me personally and it was great. I was laughing and crying all over again. Now, listening through them and actually being able to understand them makes me laugh because the people aren't singing the same words as I thought they were. It made my life a whole lot more entertaining though. thanks--I love it--no one ever gave me something like this.

Vision

In business class we've been talking about vision. The best businesses in this world became the best because someone had a vision and developed it. For example, Microsoft's vision was to equip every home with a computer, and that's what they set out to do.

I've been thinking a lot about my own personal vision. Who do I envision myself becoming? Am I striving to become that person? Am I choosing opportunities that would cause me to grow the most or am I taking the easier, more enticing path? This life is but for a moment and the things I value here will make all the difference in who I will become. Hmm. More importantly the things I value now are the things that make me who I am now.

My Water Bottle is the Coolest

It's got a fish on it...BEAUTIFUL

Scared to Fall

My brother's roommate made this...I think it showed his roommates lip too much but other than that the actors are great!

Remembering

When I was younger, I remember envisioning who I would become when I grew up. I remember I used my favorite qualities of the people who I admired the most to make up who I wanted to be:

I wanted to be like Laurie and just look beautiful at any given moment, with her commitment to the things she believes in.
I wanted to be in control and fun like Debbie and be strong so everyone knows where I stand.
I wanted to be independant and a people person like Spencer.
I wanted to make people laugh like Brian and be a hard worker.
I wanted to be organized like Lynnette and go to bed on time, and be self motivated knowing that I could accomplish any thing I put my mind to.
I wanted to be persuasive and smart like Melanie.
I wanted to be a friend like Venita and have her love for people.
I wanted to be as patient and charitable like Dave.
I wanted to carry myself like Chanae. In the way she eats, walks, and respects herself.
I wanted to know all the answers like my dad.
And have the same passion for the gospel and life as my mom does.
