"Time may change me, but you can't trace time."

1. I would rather spend time with my family than do anything else.

2. I am starting to see the pathways for my life and I have decided to major in Philosophy.

3. I am a closet David Bowie and Kansas fan.

4. The older I get the more I love music. There's just something so rejuvenating about it.

5. Sometimes I sincerely forget to brush my teeth.

6. I don't believe art is art unless it has something to tell me about life.

7. Mascara is my favorite part of makeup. :)

8. I often feel like there are two parts of me, and I need to learn how to fuse them.

9. I am afraid to grow up, I feel unprepared for what lies ahead.

10. I think the strongest person I know of is my sister.

11. My best friends in the whole world are my cousins.

12. I become sentimental at inappropriate times. lol

13. Milk is probably my favorite thing to drink.

14. I have been told that I should be a writer, photographer, lawyer, and teacher. But I don't think I'll ever know what I want to be (that would make any kind of profit haha).

15. I can't handle when my teachers make grammatical mistakes on the board.

16. I am hopelessly addicted to facebook.

17. I'm a silent dreamer. I fear that if I speak my dreams they won't come true.

19. I am seriously considering cutting my hair into a fauxhawk this summer.

20. I am deeply distrubed by lobbyists.

21. I feel like technology is an entertaining distraction from truth and meaning that I am all too happy to indulge in.

22. My favorite book in the whole world is East of Eden.

23. There are two things that I can always count on... that I'll be thirsty and tired.

24. I am always happy when people take the time to read what I've posted. :)

I've decided to come back to the blogging world! I've been absent for so long because I lost my phone that had the nice camera. But yesterday I bought a new digital camera so I was inspired to do some blogging. This is Gabe and I at the park next door. Check back in a few weeks and I'll have some pictures from my trip to Las Vegas. I recommend clicking on the pictures and viewing them at full size for the full effect! haha




Being the typical goofball.


One of my pictures, it looks cooler if you look at the full thing by clicking on the link


This is his serious pose. haha I think it's a good picture anyhow.



He was kind of miffed at me for making him take this picture... he wanted to go down the slide.


Gabe was having lots of fun playing with the other girls at the playground. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of him playing with them.


The stoic pose. lol


He didn't want me to take him off of the dragon.


For only ten cents a day you can sponsor a child...



Showing his moves on the monkey bars.

Hi everyone, I know I haven't blogged in a mighty long time, but I thought that I'd post a few pictures of my new hair since I chopped it all off on Monday. So here they are....

Y'all will be able to get discounts from RC Willey if you mention me. I think it's 5 percent or something like that. I should have told you to come in the other day because they were giving out discount up to 15% in celebration of the Olympics. The other day a guy got 50%. But anyway, yes, you will all get discounts if you mention that your niece is a cashier there. If you come in on a Friday or Saturday I'll probably be there to ring you up. :)

Well, I FINALLY got a job. I'll be working at RC Willey, down on 300 W. as a cashier and customer service representative. I think I'll have a great time working there. My first day will be on Friday! I just went in today to fill out my W-4 and I-9. I also had to go take a drug test... talk about humiliation. I had to pee in a cup while some guy waited at the door and then I had to walk out of the bathroom and hand him my urine... Sorry if that's too much information. But talking about it will be my therapy. I'm also going to start my first day of college on the 20th. I am really, really excited about that. I got my books and student ID Card. Now, all I have to do is get my free bus pass and I'm ready! I'll be getting my license sometime this fall, too.

Dinner at The Roof

Before Arden left, we went to The Roof for dinner. Here is a pictorial description of our doings.





This picture may seem too cropped... because I cropped the old man butts waiting for food in the buffet line out of it.

A picture's worth a thousand words...

After dinner we went to dad's work
