Showing the World....

Writing is a way to express yourself and get yourself out there. I enjoy writing. I also enjoy picture taking. My sister and I travel through the summer and take pictures of random places we find. Photography is a great way to get out and smell the fresh air and can be a great way to experience and explore all this world has to offer. Just think of the stories that could be told by the things you find...

 

Favorite Memory

There are so many different memories that I would never want to lose. Having to choose a favorite one is unfair and I am unable to decide my favorite memory. What I will do is I have a memory that I hold very dear to my heart. At age four, my grandpa, my moms dad, passed away. I never got to know him like I would want to and so many things I wish he could have been a part of but he is now watching down on me all the times. Anyways, back to the memory, every time when my sister and I would end up visiting our grandma and grandpa, grandpa would always make us give him a big old squeeze and then he would sneak us a pack of doublemint gum. It would be the 25 cent packages from the store and we would always look forward to gum from grandpa. 

The smell of the gum or seeing it in a store makes the image of my grandpa pop up in my mind. This memory is so dear to me because over all the years it would be the only memory of my grandpa that has stayed constant and never changed or put in my head through stories.

Quote Writing

"God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain, But He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way."

I am a very religious person and I find this quote quite moving. Everyone has hard times and everyone has good times. During those dark times we constantly wonder why me or whats going on why am I being picked on when really we need to take a step back and see if it is really as bad as we are making it sound. God has helped me through many dark times and there were many mistakes I have made through my life. I have gone down a dark path but came out on top. During that dark period is when my faith helped me through and grew so strong. Whether you are religious or not if you take out the God part it still makes you think that everything happens and you just need to move on and stay strong and be true to yourself.

Glimpse into me...

This past weekend was a weekend full of everything in my life that I enjoy so much. On Friday night my boyfriend and I went to the Ralph Engelstad Arena and enjoyed a very intense game of hockey! It was very physical and ended up being a tied game but was some really good hockey! Then Sat night my younger sister came home and watched the game with me at home with our puppies. We are a huge Fighting Sioux hockey family and enjoy it so much. My boyfriend and I enjoy it so much that this upcoming weekend we will be in Nebraska for the Omaha/ND game  and outdoor game on Friday, I couldn't be more excited!! Then on Sunday of course it was superbowl and my youngest sister also came home so we had the whole family home for Superbowl. This is rare because we are all spread out but we are a very close family so we love being together as much as we can. I also had my very close friends come over so it was a day of good food, good game and commericals, and most important it was good company. So the glimpse into me is that I love spending time with my boyfriend, my family, my pets and my friends. Wish me luck on my way to Nebraska this upcoming weekend :)

My six quirks:

1.  I have slight OCD. It does not control my life but I need to have everything neat and 

     orderly.

2. My biggest pet peeve is using the word "retarded" I find it very rude and inconsiderate and 

   unnecessary.

3.  I am a die hard Sioux Hockey and Packers fan.

4.  I am majorly obsessed with my animals. Without them I have no idea how I would survive.
5.  My favorite prints are zebra and camouflage. Two opposite ends of the spectrum but I can 

     never have enough of either.
6.  I actually enjoy cleaning, cooking, laundry and other household duties but the one thing I 

    hate is doing dishes.
