i like movies. so what.

i have a problem. well we have a problem i could say. i watch movies. i mean. i really watch movies. sometimes even two a day. i like them. its his fault. i might add. this movie addiction of mine. i never used to watch movies. until he showed up. now its a new movie every night. yeah. we have a date night every night. 

we could probably be using our time for something wiser. like sleeping maybe? nope. who needs sleep when there is a new movie to watch. sometimes we even run to dennys to grab a late night breakfast to go. then watch our movie while eating breakfast. its splendid. i dont know what we would do without redbox. 

when bored. we watch a movie. when tired. we watch a movie. when in a bad mood. we watch a movie. if we just watched a scary movie and are still frightened. we watch a happy movie. when we have cried through a sad movie. we watch a comedy. when past 9pm. we watch a movie. when in doubt. we watch a movie. you get the point. 

my movie collection is grand. due to the 5dollar movies at walmart and blockbuster going out of business its been growing quite rapidly. and now that i know amazon is selling movies for 50cents i will be drowning in movies. my change drawer is now forever useful.

a travelers tale.

i have created yet another blog. but. dont get your panties in a bunch just yet. first let me explain what and why. before you decide to judge. those that know me closely know that traveling runs in my family. its in our blood. those who dont know me. are about to. this blog is for my travels around this beautiful world of ours. and was also inspired by my upcoming 92 day excursion to the country of india. i decided that instead of writing everyone whos anyone emails while i am there. i will use this blog as a journal. let everyone know what is going on during my stay. not only is this blog going to be about india. but also about past {present} and any future adventures in the making. hopefully you will all follow along with me on my many journeys. so if you follow me here at its a wonderful life. then follow me here at there&backagain:a travelers tale. i promise you. you will not be sorry.  i hope to see you there. and dont forget.

ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE.

not dieting.

just eating healthy. 

and working this bod of mine out. 

i weighed myself two days ago.

{at the beginning} 

and will not even glance at a scale.

until my month is up.

i have been doing it for two days now. 

so 2 down and 28 more to go.

im off to the gym. wish me luck.

ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE.

run forest run

guys. i need to lose some poundage. so. i ran today. two miles. in the dark. running helps you think. and i desperetly needed that time to myself to do just that. there is way too much to think about. so i will be running nonstop from now on.

an announcement.

eh ehem.

listen up my friends. 

you are indeed looking at the newest employee of forever21.

 if i may boast. 

i am quite pleased with myself. 

it may just be my dream retail job.

so its no biggie.

now. i am actually excited to go to work.

so come on in.

and visit me.

i wouldnt mind a bit.

im pumped.

oh guys.

its a wonderful life.

oh me oh my.

i got myself a winner.

seriously though.

he beats me at ping pong every time.

it kills me.

four things no girl should go without.

today. i realized there are certain items i cannot do without. things i use on the regular.{everyday that is}. and i have decided i will share them with you. since in my opinion{which i like to think is important}no girl should  go  without. 

first off:

 floral clothing. from tights to shorts to swim suits to dresses.

 any day can be a floral day.

thats my motto. 

and second: 

an item of beloved jewelry. in this case for me. 

that would be my pearl.

camera necklace. 

just something you can wear.

that will always put a smile on your face.

no matter the occasion.

thirdly{if thats a word}:

RAIN BOOTS.

why?

because no matter the weather.

they always look cute. 

with a dress. 

with shorts. 

with jeans.

or with tights. 

rain boots will do the job.

preferably in your favorite color. 

and fourth:

books. books. and more books.

books.

that make you cry.

books.

that make you sigh.

books.

that make you think.

books.

that make you laugh. 

books.

that have cool bindings. 

and just look pretty on your shelf.

books are a good way{for me at least} to relax.

and relaxing.

is just what we need.

i wrote a song.

i wrote a song today. 

you know. 

for that boy of mine. 

im quite please with its turn out.

maybe one day i'll record it. 

and put it up.

he is the greatest. 

hes my sexy beast. 

and im his tasty cupcake.

he is just delightful to be with.

im a veryveryvery blessed young lady.

guys.

its a wonderful life.

we are.

joy williams.

you have made my day wonderful.

 thank you.

the vow.

i know where i'll be february 10th.

hello.bonjour.hola.guten tag.

welcome. welcome. welcome. and thanks for coming. this good 'ol blog of mine has been re.birthed{if you please}. it has gone through a cleansing. we have trimmed the fat. and are starting anew. hope you are as excited and i am. its still the same blog. with the same girl behind it. but. with a new outlook and a touch of creativity. take a look around. and let me know your opinions. for they matter. you guys are lovely. and thank you all for the support. have a splendid day. and dont forget.

its a wonderful life.

its no longer a disaster.

its no longer a disaster. my life that is. you know? my life and other disasters. i named my blog. what? three years ago?. that name was extremely fitting when chosen. but now. not so much. since i can see now. that my life is nothing but beautiful. so. i am changing the name. its been a long decision. since i seem to be attached to this blog and the name. i know i know. its not like im getting a new blog. but when i change the name it will seem that way. because a new name. calls for new changes. so. my life and other disasters. is no more. goodbye. you will be missed in someways. and in others. not so much. it was a love hate relationship. but i am in need of no more hate in my life. thanks for the memories. but the time has come for me to move on. au revoir.{till seen again}

mrs. annie lawrence.

let me introduce annie. 

you can find her blog by clicking here.

many of you may be wondering why i am doing this. 

because of the hard feelings.

i have harbored for her.

in the past.

well those feelings are no more. 

the past is indeed the past.

i will be honest. 

i would actually love to get to know this girl.

her faith and testimony.

have kept me hopeful through many tribulations.

she is quite amazing.

and has a strength that i wish i had.

hopefully one day. 

we can be better friends. 

because she is the type of girl.

that is worth having in your life. 

because she has already changed my life.

without even being in it. 

so imagine the wonders she could do.

being apart of it.

so.

here is to you mrs. annie lawrence. 

cheers.

clothes clothes clothes.

being as poor as i am. 

i will be shopping at di and savers.

and washing everything i purches.

at least twice. 

their clothes are better anyway.

the real version of what forever twenty-one is selling.

a friend once tweeted.

"i wish all the old people would die so their kids would take their clothes to di and savers so i can buy them."

as horrible as this sounds. 

it is slightly true.

but dont get me wrong. 

i do not want any of your grandparents.

or parents dying.

i just want their clothes.

an awkward. yet satisfying post.

one of the most unsexy things out there. as the {sexy} world calls them. granny panties. yet one of the most comfortable things any girl could own. im not saying my victoria secret underwear are not comfortable. because they are. but these things. its like lounge wear. slip into those and a sports bra and you and the notebook are set all day. though i would never leave my room in them {even when hidden underneath clothing} i would cuddle up in my bed in them. i might have to be rid of my ways once i have a husband. but until then. they will stay. im just being honest here. thats all. goodnight. sleep tight.

another one.

guys.

he is back.

this calls for two words.

and two words only.

{those with sensitive eyes. please skip the next line}

hell ya.

no longer do i feel alone.

and extremely uncomfortably bored.

my best friend is back.

and now. 

i can finally begin the new year.

being in love.

is the worst.

{in the best way possible}

best thing.

anyone could ever do.

i recommend 

everyone at least consider it.

once you dip your toes in.

there is absolutely.

no way you can refuse it.

completely twitterpated.

today is the day.

so after this.

there will be no more annoying.

{i need my boyfriend}

blog posts.

i can promise you that.

i think.

i am counting down.

i need to stay sane.

he doesnt get home till ten or eleven.

so i must find things to do all day. 

ill try to be productive.

but i cant promise anything.

i am just a ball of nerves.

i am completely twitterpated.

i cannot wait. 

to see that handsome face of his.

change

change is hard. i will not deny that. i cannot say that i hate it. but saying that i like change would be a lie. you cant avoid change. its constant. there are good changes and and bad changes and the change in between. still. change all the same. at this point and time in my life. change is my constant companion. with moving back out. being on my own. not going back to school. to finding love. at times just thinking about dealing with the change scares me to tears. but. i have so much to thank change for. because change is what brings me to my knees every night. and change is what brings me closer to my heavenly father. change not only makes you emotionally stronger and teaches you life lessons. but it makes you spiritually stronger and teaches you spiritual lessons. that is something that i am learning. because it is the new year. like everyone else. i am thinking of the change that this new year brings. and the goals i want to set. i have the chance to control a small amount of change in my life. that will bring greater changes in the end. i have to choice now to look at all the change that goes on around me as a blessing. a test of my faith my strength and my maturity. because so much has already changed in this first week of the new year. i am setting my goals now to help me cope with the change that is still to come. if you please. you can call them my new years resolutions. this year i only have three. but if i stick to these three goals every part of my life will be influenced and strengthened. and a good change will occur. here they are:

one: become closer to my family. Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ. and always have the Holy Ghost. through daily prayer and studying the book of Mormon. really studying. it with the intent of strengthening my testimony.

two: exercise often. at least three times a week. because exercise produces endorphins. and endorphins make you happy. and having a positive happy attitude changes your prospective on life. and for me. change.

and three: become the person i would want to marry. this may seem broad. but it is very thought out. whether it is being able to keep a clean home. knowing how to cook. how to communicate. be more loving. be more understanding. anything and everything. i have so much to learn. and have a lot of personal changes i need to make to become the person i would want to marry.


these things. are the foundations i want to build my life upon. because if i do. i can go through any change and over come any hardship. though change is not my favorite friend right now. it is the friend that has done the most for me.

let me complain

this trip of his might be killing me. ya. you suck florida. 

{my apologies for the harsh words.}

but honestly.

for some reason

this picture makes me incredibly happy.
