I wish I knew how to get Zach's actual video of him singing this song onto my blog, but I can't find the embedded code to post here. So the link is as good as it's going to get.

This song, and the guy singing it, is truly amazing. I loved the song & related to it 110%.

Happy Birthday Jesus!

I absolutely love this time of year! Spending all night at my grandma's on Christmas Eve is a favorite! She cooks a huge ham dinner & we open presents then play games the rest of the night. Then Santa comes & brings my brother, parents & me the rest of our gifts & we wake up on Christmas Day and open more presents then cook breakfast for the whole family!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Have a great day!


Can you see my dog Riley? He loved unwrapping his presents toooo :)

Quotes.

In life you have two loves:
one who changes the way you see yourself & the world
and the other who puts you back together after you've lost the first.

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past,
stop planning the future, stop trying to figure out precisely how
we feel, stop deciding with our mind what we want
our heart to feel. Sometimes we just have to go with
"whatever happens, happens."

Did you know that the heart has no pain receptors?
So the next time someone breaks you heart, move on.
Your pain is just an illusion, a temporary psychological disturbance
that you have to overcome. In short, it's all in the mind.


Have you ever noticed that the more special you treat someone,
the more that someone takes you for granted?

When you hold someone, hold them like it's the
last time you'll ever see them. And when they go,
don't make reasons for them to stay,
make reasons for them to return.

I've learned that it's not about what you have in
your life that counts, but who you have in your life
that really counts.


You know he loves you when someone else makes you laugh,
and he smiles just for the fact that you're laughing.

There's nothing scarier then getting who you want,
because then you truly have something to lose.

My plan is to forgive & forget.
Forgive myself for being stupid,
and forget you ever existed.


Dreams are always crushing when they don't come true.
But it's the simple dreams that are often the
most painful because they seem
so personal, so reasonable, so attainable.
You're always close enough to touch
but never quite close enough to hold
& it's enough to break your heart.

I don't know if I'm getting over you,
or just getting used to the pain.

Love leaves a memory that no one can steal.
But sometimes, it leaves a heartache that no one else can heal.

If you hold back feelings 'cause you're afraid of being hurt,
you end up hurting anyway.


One day, all the memories, tears, and pain
will go away… Just like you did.

Don’t confuse the people who are always around
with the ones who are always there.

You can't hide from life,
eventually you've got to live it.

I think we spend too much time wondering why
we're not good enough. We spend too much time overanalyzing,
over-thinking, and overreacting. We waste too much
time putting ourselves down, so much that we
don't ever stop to see that well, we are good enough.
You are good enough.
We spend too much time with our heads down and hearts closed;
and never get a chance to look up from the ground
and see that the sun is shining and tomorrow is another day.


If a guy treats you like he doesn't give a shit,
it's because he doesn't give a shit.
-He's Just Not That Into You

If your love does not work with that person,
it just means that someone else loves you more.

What lies behind us and what lies before us
are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

You've made the bed that you're laying on.

It's never too late.

So it's December 20th and I still have yet to attempt Christmas shopping. I work the next three days 10a-630p, but I'm off Christmas Eve & Christmas day. I have NO clue what to get my mom, dad & brother. My mom loves to gamble & is almost addicted to slot machines, but I call them "push buttons." She likes fashion but our tastes are SO different. My dad already gave me two options for gifts to get him. My brother is a little tricky. I'm really good at buying boys clothes, like sweats, shorts, tee's, hoodies but when it comes to more dressy shirts, I don't think my brother wears anything besides tee's & hoodies. My parents suggested I get him a jacket but I don't think a 21 year old is going to want to get a new winter jacket from his sister. I wanna figure out exactly what I want to get everyone before I go shopping, because it's going to be CRAZY no matter what time or where I go. But here are all my idears, let me know what you think!

Mom:
- Lilac smelling candles
- Slippers
- Necklaces/accessories

Dad:
- Hoyle Casino game for Mac computers
- Dark casual dress shoes

Jeff:
- Winter jacket
- Cologne

Sally to the rescue.

I woke up today to my alarm going off at 7:40am, turned it off. Automatically thought to myself, "If I close my eyes I won't wake up until it's time to leave for work." I was right, I woke up at 8am when I was supposed to leave. Walked outside and realized it had snowed, my car was covered, windshield was a little bit iced up. Pretty sure the word "Fuck" echoed on my street this morning. Got in my car, turned it on & the gas light turned on too, saying "Hey stupid, you need to get gas for your car, you wont make it to work on fumes today." So I had to stop and get gas, and the chick was making herself some coffee instead of being behind the register. PISSED. Needless to say I was late to work today. I didn't bring any movies or CDs to occupy my time at work. I didn't do anything last night- on a friday night, not a thing. I sat at home, watched movies all by myself. Low point. My dad came home from work and I ran up to him like I was 5 years old again and was like "you didn't happen to bring me home a kitty did you?" He smiled, and laughed & said "Oh yeah, that's what I think about all day is where to get you a kitty." Little does he know that I have full intenions on bringing home a kitty here shortly. I can't wait to have a little kitten again. They're so cute and lovable and playful. They find the most random places to explore & hide. I emailed my friend Cheryl at work and asked her if she knew of anyone that has kittens & sure enough another person we work with has kittens that are almost ready to go to a home. That seriously made my day. Sally said her kittens are fuzzy, gray/bluish colored with blue eyes! She's bringing pictures in on Monday. Sally seriously turned my crappy morning into a good day.
