The first of many quotes...

There's something that should be known about me. I love quotes. Movie quotes. book quotes. famous quotes. funny quotes. all of it. I feel one great way to learn is to use the wisdom(or humor) in someone's words. I mean I have a entire book devoted to the quotes I find. So when I find quotes I love; they will find their way on here, most likely. Like these:


"The most important thing is to not stop questioning"

-Albert Einstein-


The sun shone bright, flowers were blooming, and the day would pass with a careless ease that had been impossible to imagine the winter before. It was just a normal day, a day like any other. But most of all, it was a day in which everything was exactly the way it should be.

-Nicholas Sparks, The Choice-


What I am trying to say is, don't let go of your dinosaur!

-Step Brothers-


Is this heaven?-shoeless Joe

No, it's Iowa!-Ray Kinsella

-Field of Dreams-



These are just a few of the quotes I love.

the one with a background...

Well I thought I would re-cap on where i've been.
I have a very complicated family! hehe. But that's been a HUGE part of my life. I had to grow up quicker than most little girls but I can't regret what I can't help. It's molded me into a stronger person and I have watched God work in so many ways through my life.
I was homeschooled alot of my life and don't fit into any of the stereotypical molds people have in their head. My family was able to be a fostering family for over 7 years, so I always had babies in the house and even though it got loud and I lost some sleep, it was sooo worth it. I also became a daily babysitter for 2 precious girls. Their family later adopted 1 of our foster kids and now they have a happy lil brother! They made such an impact on my life early on and continue to influence my views on life. I made some very good friends through my high school years and even though 1 got very mad at me for my decision (read on) he's still there for me(i think...) and I count him as one of my closest. I met Kayla my last year homeschooling and that girl keeps me grounded. I really have no clue where I would be without her...seriously. I met so many great people and try so hard to keep in touch(it's so stinkin hard, but worth it).
My senior year I went to school!(i'm crazy...I kno! hehe.) I got to just chill and have some fun! It was so worth it and I still have some great friendships to remind me of that.

College has been my life for going on 3 years now! I went AWAY to college and my older bro bro followed. I am a member of Phi Lambda! First, as an honorary freshman year and went through pledging my sophomore year. Those girls keep me stable(hehe)! I love them. end of story. really. My school isn't HUGE and I like it that way. I love my job(working as a student
ambassador for Admissions/ Tour Coordinator).I have been working there since freshman year and have met some pretty...interesting peoples! I found an amazing campus ministry which has pushed me to know my views and beliefs, and I love them for it. I met some amazing people who have moved on but still influence my decisions and I still value their opinion to this day ( Lal, Jenna Carrie, Kykle). I have some great allies there. I had been hurt by friends and family in the past and my sophomore year found myself to be a colder less loving version of myself. In one last attempt to give people a chance, I went out on a limb and became friends with a girl who challenged me to love unconditionally and still reminds me people are human but when you love a friend the hurt is never intentional.
Well that pretty much puts me to this past year. There's a lot in between all this, but I am really tired of typing and do I really have to reveal all?!?
nope.
