My life this past school year has been consumed with finding out who my real friends are, and I think I may have found it in a group of girls who I think know me better then I even know myself. I'm so content with the life that I'm leading as of now, It's a beautiful kind of contentment. Not the kind that causes you not to grow as a person. Not the kind that leads you to be too complacent. Just the feeling that everything is balanced and all is well in my own little world.<br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 298px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480426098452186402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmidzwU_lJ8GFDCo4mavArAdRyVpIQ6_D803jE_2U70bxDbV1zpUQqdOrF3N69gzJEgYLjQ7PuGmwG0UWjPHeFGciAi4VeGZ-nngZ5YQAOX-R5Y-3H3bHPP9AR6jyqdH87lMqXWB4Dc8/s320/26437_1418747795632_1440760921_1125571_2673993_n.jpg" />I'm hoping to start blogging a lot this summer. Hopes aren't always realized, but I feel as if my hiatus needs to be done and why not start the summer before my sophomore year?<br /><div></div><br /><div>I hope all is well with everyone. I hope that someone is going to be here to read all of this. Having that said, I understand that a lot of people who used to read all this junk have probably moved on as well, but who knows, I could come to be pleasantly surprised :)</div>Raiganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986476924584490795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375279962578513380.post-27967237225067172192009-12-02T16:29:00.001-08:002009-12-02T16:37:33.528-08:00It's begining to feel an awful lot like Christmas<div align="center"> The weather is miserable, I thought I was ready for sweaters and uggs but I was very wrong.

I've found that i really like seeing how other families do things.

It definitely made me think about how I would like to run a business someday. The passion he had for his business was inspiring, and I hope that someday I can have that much love for a cause and business. It was awesome to hear how TOMS became successful almost overnight, and now they've surpassed their goal of 250 by far. </p><p> </p><p>TOMS are shoes that you buy and then the company gives a pair to a child in need. It's not just another charity, TOMS makes sure that the people that get their shoes also get new pairs as they grow out or wear out the shoes. Buy a pair. Give a TOMS gift card for Christmas. Give a TOMS for tots pair as a baby gift. Give a gift card to a teacher for teacher appreciation day. Give a gift card to that person who has everything. </p><p> </p><p>buy.

Trees you never noticed on your daily drives have erupted in color. The anticipation for Halloween and thanksgiving start to build with constant reminders in almost every store. Your local pumpkin patch finally opens and you get to re-live being 5 again. It's the best season of all, at least I'm pretty sure. Here, it's pretty chilly most days but as Missouri always does, the temperature changes on a dime to about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. For now, I'll enjoy watching my little brother run around in leaves and pumpkin patches. Soon, snow will cover the ground and trips to the park won't be as accessible, but I hope the little guy isn't <em>too</em> heartbroken. </div><div> </div><div>-Raigan</div>Raiganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986476924584490795noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375279962578513380.post-88662433891022062952009-10-11T19:08:00.000-07:002009-10-11T19:15:00.208-07:00She wants to do her own thing and she doesn't care if anyone is watching<div>Yo party people...</div><br /><div>So, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I've</span> been in a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">smidgen</span> of a rut.

I'm thinking about life...my goals, who I am, the choices I make. All of this has been brought about by something that freaks me out and breaks my heart all at once. I just hope that if someday anyone reading this is considering suicide, that you think twice. That you tell somebody who will help you. That you don't do it. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I don't know how I feel about suicide...really, I don't. As a Catholic, I'm told that I'm supposed to believe that it's wrong, that the Lord has a plan for life and death and it is not our place to mess with it. As myself, I understand having emotions so clouded that it seems like a good idea to end pain at the time, to just stop everything. From the perspective of "what if it were my family member" I cannot imagine so much hurt or so many questions left after a life that will never, and can never, be answered. I would like to say I believe it's cowardly or that I believe that it's wrong or that I think it's selfish, but I just cannot. I believe in a merciful Lord, one who understands human suffering...so I also cannot believe that that Lord would view it as horrible. I can't bring myself to define a person who is obviously in intense emotional pain as selfish.

It's pretty much that simple. I'm really really frustrated because I just cannot find a pair of jeans that fits decent and looks decent...I don't know what's wrong with me. Seriously, I don't feel that weirdly shaped sooooo shouldn't their be a pair of jeans for me? I hate putting this out there but hey who knows maybe someone will have advice? I have no butt at all but i definitely have hips and thighs? Oh and my calves and everything else are pretty normal....just the hips and thighs area is the biggest and on top of that, apparently my legs are freakishly short because even when i buy short sizes, I have to get them shortened. Anyone else have this problem?<br /><br /><br /><div><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div>On a lighter note....</div><br /><div>I saw Jennifer's body! It was really good actually, I was expecting it to be some stupid movie about megan fox being sexy while killing people but it was actually good!!! I laughed a lot and was really sad when they killed off Colin :( We missed the first 15 minutes haha but that's ok! We pretty much figured it out haha</div><br /><br /><div>Do you have someone you would really want to call and just tell all your feelings to? Like, just call when you're having a really bad day and let it all out and wait for their advice? I have one but he's a little bit famous so i'm pretty sure it'll never happen....well unless fate somehow gets on my side someday</div><br /><br /><div>I hope you guys have all had a lovely weekend<br /><br /><br />-Raigan</div></div>Raiganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986476924584490795noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375279962578513380.post-14952817540535782462009-09-23T17:23:00.001-07:002009-09-23T17:29:51.738-07:00Oh.

But then again I feel like most of the time I'm a little lost. I understand that school is still completely new to me but I just hate not feeling like I fit as much as I used to. I guess that's what happens when you get used to being with the same people for nine years...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">hmph</span>!<br /><br />I've been thinking a lot lately about the end of the world and it's made me come to some conclusions....<br />you know how everyone says that everyday could be your last so you should live life to the fullest? Well, if most people believe this, then why do we waste our lives away at jobs we hate or in cold classrooms learning when we should be out there <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">fulfilling</span> dreams?<br /><br /><br />I don't know...lately I've just felt like I'm not doing anything productive with my life. Don't get me wrong, I'm so lucky and thankful to have all that I have, but at times I just feel like I need to be doing more or giving more or helping more. I want to be in Africa...how does one arrange that?<br /><br />I also just want to start a career. I know that at 14 that sounds a little crazy, but all I want right now is to do photography for bands. Gosh I want that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">soooo</span> bad. I understand the importance of education and I'm so grateful that I've had the opportunity to have one, but another piece of me just thinks about how much I could accomplish if I didn't have to go to school everyday.<br /><br />Well I guess that's my little bit of rambling for the week....<br /><br />-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Raigan</span><br /><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"></span><br /><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00"></span><br /><span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">PS: homecoming hair? someone help me...please!</span>Raiganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986476924584490795noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375279962578513380.post-87411843243047080322009-09-13T09:27:00.000-07:002009-09-13T09:53:32.395-07:00Football season is the best season<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-kLtSi6lzMtup0M-2E_1e0mOP1Dl8lqhZCVa-7EF3rxr3KZMrEA8L-0Bf4xpyXROq8sp_5Bd2iNSGHyqf7Wr8fF7WzNDtfZt71OrVWGfe46lJq3JWEUA2sUyDhZFDHUdnSVOfet7J0k/s1600-h/IMG_3891.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380990426232055074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-kLtSi6lzMtup0M-2E_1e0mOP1Dl8lqhZCVa-7EF3rxr3KZMrEA8L-0Bf4xpyXROq8sp_5Bd2iNSGHyqf7Wr8fF7WzNDtfZt71OrVWGfe46lJq3JWEUA2sUyDhZFDHUdnSVOfet7J0k/s320/IMG_3891.JPG" /></a> Sometimes I really miss people and don't even know it until I'm around them for a while.

The first football game was last week, and it was a total blast. It was the first time I've ever really felt like myself around all these cool new people, and I'm really thankful that I got to go. Alejandra (the one in the blue and yellow tank top) is probably my best friend so far, she's been nothing but sweet and amazing to me and I'm so excited to see where our friendship goes this year. The first week felt like an eternity, but it's gotten a lot better now that I actually know what's going on most of the time. I'm trying out for cheerleading and I'm really hoping to make it because I just feel like it'd be a great way to get involved. So I guess we'll see where that goes. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378428205327239730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG2khFuLReLr2ylNxtETpKw8JR8UEE4iD6MZcGoDjLIUTEVbTN-1yWqakgKbn7n7HRL3iiFxm7p1AIbZ895KnWnejr8Sv4mWAmd0CYCo-cXb7ELEX_dVapX9YidS0-rl_KozC0KoMhwzU/s320/IMG_3643.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378429508824202770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhySIrA00QT5QKuyy-EjhE8HF2Ry5QbhNCTa9fgqzUYX-kMuX88BXFoJv00lAHtDBeeFSYBkyGGp-EJEWvEHZg8aG2PHJF-asEVnhzUS1PCcfW5GHQiSp8uegDhYUblt8G-knpHl5ntUiI/s320/IMG_3641.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378429517220948594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCKeNebyIvRL9ua9X740PoLO7zWXzghKEXsPACG-gzFeofFU0IEbLg5IldEUe87mX9euUSjznPuyy1bLNMvZMp-q-rqN2Ryoq3yIsfGGp_cv7TP8-uiTZOLyZ8UwV0xm-YumccXz2JQc/s320/IMG_3673.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378429526749746898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglQKeII1yTlavPinf2_8roDFsFxK0yG2rT4o9AQHZe92JhsG28ypJPCp1z2B8DVU2Qfn-qp3YcOEmKy314IqGHl4M4yCpAI0CwuQJFHvRjUNFdNY58UOk-TYP0Qnf1is-J37yMgO3ZDoE/s320/IMG_3669.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378429530359097522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFXbXLhsENobPENap46XHZufo_q2gK_4WTHAkU59jbeT3DpqLf21LeH9uvtkUw-T30sJib8ipfFU5aL1dcRn2hsS1mibb8CLI7TxdDY91npaoESV-Q8yQQbvWUjFkK6wo0M6Yq5PNRXUU/s320/IMG_3689.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378429539656411810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiouYpo1B-V0ADjjO2HyBHXkURDtqCdCk8RlzQPOmX7oPTbMpbBzzYARHdNTl0qznxUtf10gm24uAmkjyclA4RuJL4qHYbmAhfB0LxClYU73SwmCP2z8kiqGsTxjj0SqNzAkeFj-HxIr8w/s320/IMG_3709.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378432374943202962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEKWWJpHSmb1O4YNWW0G5LUAxeuJQvnj-5f6dNGbSeeINZUH1oeehjrp4PDRmRFgi4C0t_dCE1FZg6_iE-KzYlH-fqV4Fbh32LXuUk1aWDhwu6k5jJhGaIkghnBCMH_a-xEevJFqCOM8/s320/IMG_3737.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378432394305798178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX7DS-atfHF69_-q9MzJI4M-5CrXpXyE0mHDOWu-BObwfokPg4YtGwEfyvua3b7X3Bdy5Gcptjox9R0yIcinemrUxefsewInQQOWj02Lq1_bJruUPSeWhL9M6zH_dseMO7imA8sDN82Yo/s320/IMG_3803.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 285px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378432377102697410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhum6APinXzqBW05WXqNygaUeTo7CVPpdvuC4vC2gjKIx0-mjV8_SeT57p9blsoLmU-HwWlhmpR5U8iatlOYBV3q1kgsxnRdak9tQhm79t8qXPozVQMC-mM5zMWpV5ksabZKhyphenhyphen76YwooiI/s320/IMG_3756.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378432387035619618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh085teqUUG8FM8QLqritk7pauDuVdweu_1OtJEUYxAOjLpdn5oBLXzENQZwviGMIrwPLP-IqkcrGAl-XBMXkJbBjT5HrGZtBrE3YECBOD7SR1mtTa6J44SsaqhHF7DvPdYx5H8TkW2LqI/s320/IMG_3797.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378432403432971698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv7tc_6pJM5dumoE-b1bFpz0_TpPRJuVN65xrYstZ73L_PIYjzsmy7iXlSy7UKoJUMFgoJ0-P8am4jzh6p4laCD2pPVhX68fCGiv_AbRx0G00VYxz32kwHSeDhZKWftrP11X_TyQC9HZU/s320/IMG_3824.JPG" />Labor Day weekend means the Mizzou Illini game, it also means downtown St.Louis. I'm in love with it. I'm also in love with the park around the Arch, the river front...pretty much everything about St. Louis I love. The first night we went downtown for the battle of the bands which was fun, then we just walked around. Then on Saturday we got up and went to eat and it was raining which just sucked. But, thankfully, it stopped soon enough and we got to go do fun stuff down by the stadium (it's where the Rams play). We went to the arch and the park by there. We took soooooo many pictures and these are just a few, there were a bunch of really good ones but I'm tired for one and for two, there are just wayyyy to many! It was a really good time, and I'm thankful for the rain because of fun puddle pictures. I cannot wait for my senior pictures someday.<br /><br />-Raigan<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Raiganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986476924584490795noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375279962578513380.post-459611192938952342009-08-29T20:10:00.000-07:002009-08-29T20:15:38.567-07:00there is nothing you can teach me that i can't learn from mister hathaway<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij52_bFQ0vrCowgD6ZwQOmbGaqD4ssQ7b-_TNp_kMvVSHXeabkQ8kzmn61HDWKQGxo336tBTt5qdHMtGslpy_hKJA53zgfFcQ9Nih8yvVp-Bsfq93ofVqUTgg1kVqPH8EWBJartKuj8dU/s1600-h/stages.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 184px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 354px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375590040274090642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij52_bFQ0vrCowgD6ZwQOmbGaqD4ssQ7b-_TNp_kMvVSHXeabkQ8kzmn61HDWKQGxo336tBTt5qdHMtGslpy_hKJA53zgfFcQ9Nih8yvVp-Bsfq93ofVqUTgg1kVqPH8EWBJartKuj8dU/s320/stages.jpg" /></a>I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who checked out Art Feeds, it really does mean a ton to me.

Cheese's, Justice.....these were all adventures had on my long weekend. From Friday to Wednesday I was with my wonderful family whom I missed very very very much. My aunt Emily had a baby on the 15th and I had to see his sweet little face in something other then pictures, so the journey was made without warning but in a way that was great. I got to see my absolute favorite cousin for the first time in months, hugs were abundant and so was bonding with each other. I missed that kid. Ben, that's my favorite cousin's name, is super chill and a great listener. One day my cousins Max, Murphy, Gabby, and I took a little trip down to Chuck E. Cheese's. We found the coolest Target and took pictures. We also found one of the worst advertisements on a kid's ride I've ever seen in my life. King of Beer? Epic fail Chuck E. Cheese's, epic fail.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371872095414602002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Xk3WS75Sg-ohO20CY5HMGmOW47UiqP_fLBXhJDK7RMBbSKnb-JDEDpKfzaHeGM1mx6ervo0XATJEG8ltrZcbj2ThOKyng3SztZXHGppjbZpLtMyUcgZRdKRzrdBRYsHr6Rp1sPu-BHo/s320/IMG_3067.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371872080668128226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6J5SnWWx842cWPF1VvrS_N0UpU3yD876JeotbBdNcBp9n0mprwWQj29ejAP1SIGXTsD3O-qgyP9tQF6wMmmkPeQTe0QclAWe0kQGHv6dCjdBNypq6MESVbgjaBD17Lr8ZTEBWI4NNc-k/s320/IMG_3055.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 318px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371872118335763330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRzOxXwnnCrCjL0mP5iiowgusxV92w9vQRO_WRTOaXtit3iDrao0TDD4n3MzWbV-bQKz4AJ7bU98TVr5Z5rO54jfu-j1eafXRZMY-UOnGue5d65U2K3A7w0quQStAhTqJmT6zEhp05xfQ/s320/IMG_3069.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371872092508404962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh71FYDyebAt-JMD4G4l13rNT1JPYNcT-d9PkZqVTSi5Siya2E85U__EA2uq6qlacOAt-IYrgYuWWxdxUQqIvLY6NOeKaX9l7xTIJlflMWaBId4IxO5f5v7l-bJl7i3YV5RubMhUiVdDJ4/s320/IMG_3053.JPG" /><br />Another epic fail was brought to my attention for another time this weekend. I wish it was something that never ever ever had to be brought to my attention, I wish crimes against humanity weren't something ever brought to any one's attention due to the fact that they shouldn't exist. But sadly this isn't a perfect world and they are, in fact, a part of our lives. </div><div> </div><div>There is a crisis in Darfur. I'm not sure of how aware you are of this crisis...this genocide. Really, I'm not so sure of how aware I am of all of this, but I do know that it breaks my heart. I know that the people there should not be oppressed, beaten, raped. I know that America really needs to help out, reach out. If you guys want more information about Darfur, you should go read this <a href="http://hailmary-fullofgrace.blogspot.com/2009/04/100-things-you-can-do-to-save-darfur.html">this</a>. Actually, read that whole blog. Like....explore and such, because Mary is awesome. And she does a lot for Darfur. I adore her :)</div><div> </div><div>I also know of an amazing organization organized by a lovely girl called <a href="http://www.myspace.com/artfeeds">Art Feeds</a>. Please check out their myspace? It would mean a lot to me :)<br /></div><div>I don't know how I feel about this post. I'm tired and grateful all at once. I also realize that that's probably the least I could say about the crisis in Darfur...don't judge me? please?</div><div> </div><div>Happy first week of school to some of you :)</div><div> </div><div>-Raigan</div><div></div>Raiganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01986476924584490795noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375279962578513380.post-88954663286617981842009-08-13T09:20:00.000-07:002009-08-13T10:01:01.308-07:00Good Intentions<div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZyvqJlsQKadYG8JDa_1sPfIW_FaLkqxB1lddnUA-VfNKUoqRi5fUpnfe3Fq0puKUoj2LdqHRKD92uTEQ0xN8VCS5gXbfMa8TRDbfIMzRb_OIJLxe1Ok652tfvFerqRsHSkUtO04ka-uw/s1600-h/IMG_2971.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 208px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369485858888547458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZyvqJlsQKadYG8JDa_1sPfIW_FaLkqxB1lddnUA-VfNKUoqRi5fUpnfe3Fq0puKUoj2LdqHRKD92uTEQ0xN8VCS5gXbfMa8TRDbfIMzRb_OIJLxe1Ok652tfvFerqRsHSkUtO04ka-uw/s320/IMG_2971.JPG" /></a>I had the best of intentions for this weekend and this week really, I had some things planned I wanted to do for the blog but instead life went along with it's funny way of changing those plans.

The due date on this little peanut is December 25th, this kid may get to share a birthday with Jesus!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Two= my family moved to a larger house across town, which is really cool I actually enjoy moving and having a new house that just smells new. My room is bigger which is nice, and so is my closet :)</div><br /><br /><div>Alright back to the scheduled programing?</div><br /><br /><br /><div>I used to have these really really cool neighbors but they moved to California and I'm really excited to say they came and visited last weekend! They have 3 kids and are expecting twins (is it just me or is EVERYONE pregnant these days?) and I've always looked like i could just fit right into their perfect little blond haired blue eyed family :)</div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365779048649224882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJv4VJ1xbEV6j5nAVzvEcKtS5h4eGzxGmfKbT2rd5CzZaYjFK8EVqdN1ObvsHM0CPWBLS7N_mMxutn5453OeHNSZg7RlIyJLHV3y9yaCUHKZbgziEwWMbFFZhtVdimBltGBr45EEzeS_8/s320/IMG_2497.JPG" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div>I went to a Wallflowers concert on Wednesday last week and that was very fun, it was a good night all around.

I suppose it's kind of a testimony to change considering a lot of that has been going around in my life lately. A Taste of the Good Life just isn't me anymore, it lasted a solid year or so and i guess that's something to be proud of but i just no longer feel the need to post on it so why not start over? And of course the title is different, and a different header....I'm not so sure about that....constructive criticism would be nice :)<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360967977351960578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRhY94SDlmIcC0ErwI5PAxCmV5SWlb-2R_JemyJqMZ9ziwb9xs5DzjVz-LSt3C376y2BccSClv4xXSp6fcUOJo_ZmeYRyV7QSOKZ4Jxh3Pfjh_Fh9IS_RBm67DTr0yemt4ibdcGypJ3_I/s320/IMG_2381.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div><div></div><div>So let's see what have i not informed you lovely people about....gee....EVERYTHING?!</div><br /><div>Well i finished up summer school and officially have one high school credit out of the way, how insane is that?!
