Life isn't made up of the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away.

Live life so that at the end of it, you have no regrets. Instead, you have stories full of love and laughter so you can hold your head up high, no matter what.

So I was bored...

I made some more tags. I have to show them off, I am very proud of them. I made them last night, and the last one I made this morning. This one is one of my favorites. I made it when I was thinking of my friend. :)Music is my life! I can't go anywhere without my iPod. It's really bad!
I was inspired by the memory of being a kid, and having fun at the playground, swinging as high as you can. It was just too fun, and I couldn't resist this one.

Sometimes I do wonder... Will my heart find a home to rest or will it stay on the wind?

I LOVE THIS ONE!! I made it with the Scrapbook Kit "Pieces Of Me" by wimpychompers. You can purchase the scrapkit here. This is like therapy for me, a creative outlet and I love it.

Cheering up a friend.

So I have a best friend who has been having a hard time, so I sat down and made some tags to help make her smile. I just had to put them up because I am pretty proud of them. Laughs. Bad, huh? I can't help it, I was just proud to be able to make something that would look nice. I didn't do the drawings myself, they are from a wonderful artist called Nene Thomas. The ones on the bottom are the same, I couldn't decide which background I liked better. The images are from Suzanne Wolcott, and can be purchased HERE .

Better

Hey all, I am doing better. I am actually working on something, and when I get it done I will type it up and get it on here. I just have been working a lot, and not at all, so it's kinda weird. I am happy to be able to have some time to myself, and I love that I am still close with some friends from Utah. One friend in particular isn't in Utah, she's in Florida. It's 3 hours time difference, but we still talk every day. She has been having a hard time, and I didn't realize exactly how much I meant to her until she admitted she called me before she called her mom when she had found out some terrible news about someone in Florida. So, that's something.

Anyways, I just wanted to take time and THANK everyone who is SO wonderful and is my friend. I know that I wouldn't be whom I am today if not for what I have been through, and WHOM was there to help me along the way. You are all amazing people. Thank you for your love, constant support and prayers. LOVE YOU!!!!

Funny stuff!!

So I took the Twilight Charachter quiz, and got 2 results. I got the following:

I'm a Alice! I found out through TwilightersAnonymous.com. Which Twilight Female Are You? Take the quiz and find out!
Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!


I'm a Esme! I found out through TwilightersAnonymous.com. Which Twilight Female Are You? Take the quiz and find out!
Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!


This is really funny, considering I took it on Facebook and I was Bella. But look at what it says about me:

Alice:
You are intelligent, outgoing & stylish. A true girly girl, you love shopping & makeovers.
Although you are a generous friend, you can be coy, tricky & very persuasive in order to
get your way. You are known to zone out occasionally during conversations, but your
friends forgive you because you are understanding, supportive & know how to throw one
heck of a party! (per the twilighters anonymous site)


Esme:
You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things.(per the twilighters anonymous site)

Another Headache... No litterally!!

So I don't understand like normal. I have another headache. I had this happen to me about 2 years ago where for a month straight I get a headache every single day. I got fed up and went to the doctors where they did blood pressure tests and so forth, and they found nothing. They even went so far as to check my flexibility. Hmm... That was interesting. Turns out I am pretty dang flexible. But I figured that out a while ago. When you can touch your head with your foot... Self explanatory.
So, today's headache I don't understand. I am trying to drink more water, get more sleep, not stay on the computer all the time, working hard, and still. Headaches. I try to NOT take medicine for it, because I don't like being dependent on stuff like that. I want to get rid of it naturally if possible. But with how often these are happening, it may be a medication kind of thing.
Work is good, kind of off and on but that's the thing with Massage, and that's why I am FINALLY starting at the school district. It only took 3 weeks to get the phone call after the fingerprints, but whose counting? Um... ME!!

So NOW I can FINALLY quit Lane Bryant and be busy at 2 jobs. Oh, and the update with them... I worked 3 hours in the past 3 1/2 weeks for them. It was a LOVELY meeting at 7 in the morning. I wanted to cry. It's SO not going to be worth the 24 dollars I earned. But I got my raise, and my back pay that I fought so hard for. And trust me, it was worth it! Just in time to leave, how lovely!!

That's about all that is going on with my life, nothing really improved or falling apart more than normal. I have moments of frustration where I feel like people push me and I fight back. I have moments of Joy when I get to talk to some people, or see someone. I have frustration with the ADORABLE kids that are my niece and nephews... but they're kids. Alex is in his destructive phase it seems. It's SO much fun! And Ari... She's 3 years old! :)

Going to put my head on my pillow, and hope it doesn't split open. That wouldn't be the best thing in the world for it. If it doesn't get better, I will have to ask my daddy to help me out with a Blessing. Thank GOODNESS for the priesthood. Here's to the close of another day, and a week where I didn't HAVE to work SUNDAY!! I got to go to Church! SO Incredibly happy about that!!

Having a hard time.

I am having a hard time right now. I don't know what to say, and I don't know what to do, because I am trying SO hard, and it doesn't seem like it's enough. Will someone please explain to me what they expect of me so that I can finally live up to what they are expecting? I can't keep doing this. I need someone to talk to me. I can't keep walking in the dark.
