Someone you didn't want to let go, but just drifted away
Ok, I have to be honest, I just randomly picked this topic. I was following the topics that my cousin was doing on her blog but I've now caught up to her and she doesn't have a day 19 yet. So I went to a friends blog and picked one of her topics. And now that I have that out of the way...
There are a lot of people that I wish I were still friends with. But life happens and we just drift or change. So I don't know who reads my blog but I'm just going to be honest and list the people I really do miss. If you're on this list and think we are still close you might want to give me a call cuz I'm not so sure we are. If you aren't on the list and think you should be...its obviously been too long.

A talent of yours
I guess my biggest talent I have is my artistic talent but I feel like I've already done this post because of the one I did about a piece of art. I've had a lot of practice and its paid off. But I'm a perfectionist so I never think it's good enough and I don't have the time or more like the patience to do it. Maybe I'll find a way to put some of my art on here. Some day.

Responsibility
Why can't people take responsibility for their own actions? It drives me nuts!
Someone is speeding and gets pulled over and gets a ticket. Their response? That stupid cop gave me a ticket!
A kid is talking in class. The teacher sends them to detention. Then they hate the teacher.
someone commits a sin and then is told they need to repent of it. Then they hate the religion.
An employee gets caught slacking off on the job and then they hate the manager who writes them up.
It just doesn't make sense. If YOU were doing something wrong and got caught it is not the person who caught you'd fault. YOU chose to do it. Take responsibility for YOUR actions.

Favorite Birthday
I think one of my most memorable birthday's was my 6th birthday. It was actually warm enough to have an outside party and it was my first real "friend" party. Lots of people came and we played games and I got the cake I had wanted for awhile, a Barbie cake. Which was a cake that had a Barbie doll in it and the dress was made of cake. I also got a family party and my Grandma Karen and Grandpa Grizz came and I got a diaper bag full of baby doll stuff. I was so excited!
Other birthdays I remember:
8- party at McDonald's in Wyoming.
11- skate party at classic skating
13- just a fun party at my house.
14- dress up party. We got our hair and make-up done and went to dinner.
16- date party. Not so great but I remember it.
18- party at Jordan's house. Would have been more fun if I actually had friends.
22- I was sick on my birthday is all I remember.

This month
April. This month wasn't too exciting. I went to work. Quit my job at my dads work. Kyler had his 6 month birthday and doctors appointment. He weighs over 15lbs now. No wonder my back hurts. He had his first Easter this year. Which wasn't too exciting but it was a really good day. My mom and family came over for breakfast and then Kyler and I went to my dads for dinner. We got new renters this month. So far so good. Jake and I have now known each other and been together over 4 years now. Hmm...that's about all I can think of for now.

A piece of artwork
Being somewhat of an artist this is kind of hard to pick. One of my favorite, and I think one of my best, pieces is the painting I did for one of my classes at UVU. It is of an American flag with the Marine Corps logo in front of it. I think it's one of my best because it's actually finished (I always lose motivation before I finishk a painting), and it may have been an assignment but I got to pick exactly what I wanted to do. And I put a lot of heart into it. At the time I was dating someone in the marines.Part of me wants to sell it because its probably the only piece I could make money off of and well the whole ex-boyfriend thing. So...if you're interested make me an offer!
A little about my art:
I don't do real life. I can't draw anything with a face very well. I draw a lot of spring. In other words, flowers, butterflies, landscapes, that sort of thing. I like to draw still life and 3D buildings and stuff. I like acrylic paint and sometimes watercolor. I like oils but its a lot of work and takes too long to dry. I also love ceramics and using a pottery wheel. I like to draw Celtic knots and cool designs. I like to scrapbook and I do some floral work. With my mom being an artist along with my uncles and step dad I guess you could say I inherited it and I really am an artist at heart. If only I had more time, and space, to do it.

Sweet Sixteen. Day 16
Blog 1
First kiss
Do you want the whole story or long story short? Long story short: His name was Jeremy. Ok, you're right, the whole story might be better.
I was "going out" with Jeremy and he asked on our first date if I was still VL. When I said yes I'm pretty sure he made it his new goal to steal my first kiss. I wasn't so sure about kissing. I had a couple of boy friends before him but they never tried to kiss me. Weird! I was 17, definatly passed my sweet 16. So I tossed around the idea, playing hard to get while he tried to make a move for a little over a month. *side story...I told my friends about the 'first kiss drama' and they decided that because they hated Jeremy they should not let him be my first kiss. So he took me on a "date" and then attempted to kiss me at the door step. Little did he know my other friend told me of their plan....I turned my head when he made a move. Ouch!* So Jeremy may think he got his way by getting my first kiss but it really was me deciding that is what I wanted. Needless to say it was short and sweet. More like just a brush of the lips. Of course the next day I got the real thing. *back to the side story...my friends did not know I had kissed Jeremy. So at one more attempt he took me on another date. This time I gave in and let him kiss me. (I know, I was a lip slut, 2 guys in 3 days) He did not find out that he wasn't my real first kiss until much, much later. And Jeremy never knew what happened 2 days after our first kiss.* It may have been wrong of me and maybe a little mean but meh, I like the story and hey, they both got what they wanted and I got double action! Ha!

A song that makes you cry (or nearly)
2 come to mind but its been awhile since they've made me feel that way. Mostly because the reasoning behind them is gone.
Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day
Run by Snow Patrol
And sometimes How to Save a Life by The Fray
I also used to always cry when I heard God Be With You Til We Meet Again

Half Way! Day 15

Dreams
Dreams...this word could mean 2 things. It could mean things I wish/hope for or things I actually dream about at night. I guess my dream for life would be to be a successful wife and mother and then to be successful in my career as well. I wish I could go to school but the reality is life happens and things don't always go the way we want. Not that I had a drastic change or something in my life. I just didn't realize, when I planned my life as a child, that life isn't always as easy as it seems. I always thought I would go to college, get married and have a couple kids and then be a full time teacher. Well, then I decided I didn't want to be a teacher. It was harder to go back to school not knowing what I was going to do with my schooling especially knowing I'd have to pay for it all, eventually. Then I decided I wanted to be a wedding planner. One online class for only $500. Would have worked out perfect if it weren't for our stupid renters not paying us month after month. And then we decided it was time to start our family. And now I have a great job at a pediatricians office working good hours. Things are great, they just never go as planned. And I just have to keep reminding myself that. I'm a major perfectionist so when things don't go to plan I tend to feel frustrated. I just have to remember that just because plans changed doesn't mean things are bad. I just have to live for today and make the best of it. G
And then there are the dreams I have at night...I have a pretty good memory so I can easily remember my dreams. Which is sometimes nice but sometimes not because if it was a bad dream I have a hard time getting it out of my head. Luckily, I don't have many nightmares. I refuse to watch scary movies because I'm afraid of having nightmares. I dream about work a lot. Which is sometimes annoying because I usually dream about the stressful parts and then I can't sleep well. I like dreams. I thinks it can be so interesting to think about the stories your mind puts together when you're sleeping.

A fan
As in what I'm a fan of? I am a fan of music. I've been in 2 official fan clubs. Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco. I used to be able to tell you everything there is to know about those two bands. But now I'm a mom with better things to do then follow other peoples lives. And now I'm sad to say Panic! came out with a new cd and I didn't even know about it until I heard their song on the radio. Sad day for me, realizing I'm growing up. Here's what I can remember...
Fall Out Boy:
Patrick is the lead singer. Pete Wentz is the bassist and back up singer and he writes most of the lyrics. And he is married to Ashley Simpson (I'm not sure why!) and they have a son named Bronx Mogli Wentz. Andy is the guitarist and joe is the drummer. Their producer or label or whatever its called is Fueled by Ramen. Sad. I used to know a lot more.
Panic! At The Disco:
Brenden Urie is the lead singer. I kissed him on the cheek. He grew up LDS. Ryan Ross was the guitarist (I sadly just learned he isn't even in the band anymore). I kissed him on the cheek too. He wrote a lot of their first lyrics. And I don't know the other band/former band members names. They are from Las Vegas and were made famous by Pete Wentz.
And that's all I can think of for now.
I'm also a fan of Edward Norton and Jonny Depp isn't too bad either.

What you wore
Today I wore my butterfly jeans. (They have a pink butterfly by the back pocket.) And a light pink shirt and pink jacket. White socks and my pink and tan shoes. I wore pink earings, my wedding ring, promise ring, and silver ring. And a rubber band in my hair. (And of course my underwear and bra.) Guess you could say I was "pretty in pink" today.

A non-fictional book
I'm not really into non-fiction so this might be a tough one. Hmm...got it! The Book of Mormon.
I hadn't ever really read it when I was younger so I'm glad to say that Jake and I actually read the whole thing a couple years ago. What a testimony builder! I mean, growing up I read bits and pieces and heard the stories but it wasn't until I actually read the whole thing that I realized how amazing it really is. And it completely shocks me to think how many people don't believe it. And don't believe that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. Honestly, I think if you don't believe The Book of Mormon is true you haven't read it. And if you have you must be pretty strong to keep telling yourself it isn't true. Seriously, what an AMAZING book!!! I recommended Everyone read it at Least once. It will change your life.
