Dance, Listen, Stand, Live.

Dance.
Deep into the shadows of the night, you pull the melody
from my heart, reunite it with my feet. We twirl and
spin on the dance floor, keeping time with the beat. With
your head thrown back, singing at the top of your voice,
I feel as content as I will be. You start the spark that
lights a fierce, joyous fire within me, and I remember
how to love as easily as breathing air. And we dance.

Listen.
No one sees me but only you, watching even when
twilight fades to a starry black. I build a wall around
to protect myself, but you reach in gently, pull me
out before my tears of loneliness fall. As my world
crumbles into a desolate wasteland, you hold me
and remind me that I am not abandoned. When
I'm finally ready to talk, you listen.

Stand.
I stand strong in the darkness, encased in an armor of
pretense. I declare to the world my capability to remain
staunch in battle. I fear no one, I am proud and undefeated.
And yet beneath the confidence I wear, a child is crying in
fear. I cannot expect to keep my pose of strength, and
eventually my knees buckle. But somehow you are there,
supporting me. You lift me up almost imperceptibly, so no
one else sees my weakness, no one but you. With your help shake it
off, the trembling ceases, and I stand.

Live.
You tell me, "This would be my heartbeat if I ever lost
you. ^^^---^---------------". And I understand. To die
would be to lose all the beautiful memories, to erase
every Kodak moment we have created. Within you
and me lie the ingredients to hope, strength, and family.
I may be fatherless, I may lack a mother, but I have you.
For as long as I can dance in the arms of my sensitive, strong
brother, I will live.

New favorite movie



~Not only is it HOTT, and the guys are AMAZING, but my favorite ice dancer in the world, David Pelletier is one of the cowboys!!!~

And the Night Shall Be Filled With Music...


My beautiful friend Katie got married. My friend Amity is already married. I always figured I'd be the first one married and I'd have the biggest family. I'm sure glad my priorities changed before I got a bunch of kids thrown into the mix. I mourn for all the innocent children (myself included) who became victims of a Quiverfull family without being asked first. I'd rather be ready, like Katie is, than to marry the guy my dad picks and have 20 kids and counting, without knowing who I really am. Thanks God!

Pair of Jeans that Fit Just Right...

Wednesday night all my favorite peoples go to Riley's.
We all love Riley's.
Wednesday night is country night.
Nebraska likes country.

We may look pretty redneck.
At Riley's, that's ok.

I usually get to dance with all my guys.
I LOVE my guys.

Um... Ethan stripped off his shirt.
Ethan likes stripping!

KickASS Skills.


I was at TKD tonight, doing what I always do...
Kicking ass!

Only I accidentally kicked the metal part
of the boxing bag instead
and it was a HARD kick, so...

I wasn't too surprised when a bruise popped up
almost immediately.

Someone tell me how painful it looks!!!
Aaron: That looks kind of painful...
Me: I know... :(

Boy Gets Job


I love the guy's new job. He delivers
pizza and makes good money too. He likes it
a lot so far, says there are nice people at work and
good pay. I like the cheap pasta bowls he brings me.
