but im not telling.
yet.
fire away.
when in desperate need of pain relief. i have figured out the perfect remedy. to scare pain away. first you will need a handful of friends. that you can be yourself around. you will need stretchy black pants and an oh so comfortable baggy shirt. you will need an oversized chocolate shake brought to you by your loving mother that gives way tooo many kisses on your cheeks because she claims that they are chubby. they wont be chubby for long. so i'll take advantage of this. you will need a giant bottle of ibuprofen. a yankees world series baseball cap. skull candy headphones that were purchessed for you. prefferably blue. you will also need your summer crush sitting next to you rubbing your back. maybe even holding your hand. and showing you funny jokes and good songs on his phone to keep you distracted. but. the thing you will need the most. is a blessing from your daddy letting you know that you are gonna get better soon. mix all of these things up into one big bowl and its the best pain pill you will ever take. no sickness is gonna mess with me now. come on pain. hit me with your best shot.
fire away.
i like it
when tj stops by to see me. out of the blue.
i like surprises.
and i definitely needed a surprise like him today.
even though my face has...
probably doubled.
he still tells me im pretty.
and since my self esteem is down the tube for the day.
that felt pretty good to hear.
even though we dated.
then "broke up".
we have managed to still stay pretty close.
i love it.
ohh tj. thanks for the sunday surprise.
i needed it.
how to survive
after getting your wisdom teeth ripped from your mouth.
1: never use a camera right after the surgery.you will end up with pictures like this.
i guess i thought i looked cute.
2: never use a cellular device right after surgery.(it will save you from embarrassment). you will send texts like: i want shrimp, i wanna go fishing, and i wanna cuddle with ruca.
now onto the things you will need...
3: pills. and lots of them.
4: ice cream brought by friends. preferably breyers. its soft smooth and cold. cold helps sooth the pain.
5: an ipad. this will keep you sane while laying in your bed for the next 48hours of your life.
netflix has been a life saver.
6: a cell phone. only to be used responsibly. meaning after hours of sleep.
7: a box full of goodies to make your mouth feel and taste less disgusting.
the one the surgeon gave you.
8: a best friend. the same best friend that came over. then left to get you ice cream.
a miss kourtney dinehart.
9: a boy with dimples blue eyes and an amazing mustache that will just lay there with you and rub your back.
and when you are dizzy. hold your hand when you walk.
so you dont fall.
10: a boy that makes you smile so much your swollen cheeks hurt.
this should be the same boy as before.
and last.
but most definitely not least.
11: lots and lots of music that either helps you fall asleep or keeps you awake.
he is we will do the trick.
this tuesday night
has been different than all the other days of summer so far. the feeling is different. a lot is going through my mind. at this moment. there are a hundred things going on in my life. that i cannot control. my emotions are swimming all over the place.and i cant seem to reel any of them in. im not saying im not happy. because i am. i am very happy. but the reality of the upcoming events seem to be hanging over my head. so... due to the feeling on this slightly sunny tuesday night...
i must follow a certain routine.
that always makes me feel brighter.
or at least at ease.
play the piano.
fill up the bathtub with steamy water and lots of bubbles.
while listening to he is we.
curl up on the couch and read angels and demons.
listen to more he is we.
while i curl up under my sheets.
and.
think about all the amazing people and things i have in my life.
happy birthday benjamin.
my saturday night has been great. one of the best in a very long time. family brings the most joy. at least i think its true. and. i have the best family ever. so that is a plus. my mom chose the right kids to adopt. anyway. let me fill you in on why this night was so good. it started out with me. and my sister. being in a really good mood. and i thought to myself. might as well make good use of this. right? exactly.so i walked into my brothers room. and forced him to get off his butt and come hang out with us. finally after 15 minutes of nagging. he agreed. we got into his car and decided to go see transformers 3. after arriving at the movie theater. he came up with an amazing idea. nickel city. so we hoped back into the car. and drove right to nickel city. and this is where the fun and games began. literally. we can be a very good team when it is needed.
driving to nickel city winning tickets counting tickets
955. thats how many tickets we were able to conjure up. i felt like it was a pretty good amount. for being there for only about a half an hour. with 5 dollars each in nickels. we got our moneys worth. and there is no need to worry. we used our tickets wisely. very wisely actually.
creep one creep two creep three
yes we got a good laugh out of this. actually lots of good laughs. after realizing that we were having so much fun together. rachel and i realized that it is bens birthday on monday. so. we did what any good sisters would do. we dedicated this night full of fun to my brother. since we work on monday and cant celebrate then. after playing with our staches. we all went out to get bens birthday dinner. costa vida. brought it home. sat on our back deck and ate while the dogs played. it was a good night. one that i will not be forgetting any time soon. so i would like to say. happy birthday brother bear. you really are such a great big brother. i love you. ya.
welcome to
in case you didnt know.
IKEA is where its at.
(click on IKEA for their site)
if you havent been there.
(that would make you a deprived individual).
you need to hop on this bandwagon.
and go.
so what if everyone else is doing it.
this is a good addiction.
let me name some reasons.
you need to stop by this lovely home decor store.
1: they have mini kitchens and rooms that inspire you to remodel yours.
2: everything there is cute.even the garbage cans.
3: they have the best restaurant inside.
4: its cheap cheap cheap. for poor college students like us.
5: they have everything from toilet seats to stuffed animals to napkin holders.
6: beacause they have a little yellow IKEA bug.
im IKEIAN.
are you?
the good news is
even when life is hard. God always gives something that helps you keep going on. he has definitely given me something that has kept me from breaking down in this last month. with my parents big move to saudi arabia in august and my big move down to school. my stress level has sky rocketed. and being my same stubborn self. i have held it all in. and acted like i wasnt scared at all. crying was out of the picture. and when people asked. i was perfectly fine with my parents moving across the world. but the truth is. im not okay with it. and i want to cry. i want to ball. God has indeed blessed me. with a friend that tells me i am strong. and that i can get through this. that tells me that its okay to cry. and it doesnt mean i am a baby. it means that i care. i know that everything is going to be okay. and even when i have doubts i have this friend that tells me its going to be okay. like i said. God always gives us something to help us keep pressing on. and this time. God gave me a friend like him.
hola,
to my big brother.
he is a jokester.
and this is what happens.
were are not in europe benjamin.
