I'm thankful for
My goregous, funny, smart boyfriend, without whom I wouldn’t know what to do.
Waking up next to the man I love every day.
Sleeping in with him on weekends.
The little moments where we link fingers.
Kisses when I feel him smiling.
Our cat that loves to curl up with me.
Our big comfy bed that I can curl up and read a good book.
My best friend who makes me feel complete.
I have so much to be...

I MADE DINNER!!
Well. Technically, Dakota and I made dinner. Which is even better considering what every girl wants is a boy who will cook. And guess what? Mine does! And he is good too. Now if he would just do the dishes… hmm. Nevermind.
Now, honestly, as many of you know.. I don’t cook. Ever. But, since we moved into the new house, I’ve gotten tired of fast food. Plus...
When
Did I become so domesticated?
I (attempt.. see previous post about me burning my hand…gross) to cook.
I do dishes every day, because I love having my sink clean.
I clean counters, and even run my swiffer over the kitchen floor before I watch the little tv I watch now.
I put my clothes on hangers (and the nifty little shelves in my closet) and put them in the hamper when they are dirty....
New house. New home.
So Dakota and I are mostly moved in to our new house. There are still some things we need to organize or buy, but mostly, we’re home. :)
It’s still kinda odd, him coming home every night instead of not seeing him on work nights. But its nice. Especially since I can always tell when he’s coming home because his cat comes out and sits with me. I guess she’s been with him...

Big steps.
Getting ready to possibly take a big step. I’m nervous, but excited. I think me and Dakota together can accomplish anything. He always wants to take action, and I always hold off. We balance each other. He can be so straight forward and I always beat around the bush. Some days I just look at him and think of how new this feels, but in reality we have been together for three years. I never...

Why do people make love sound so hard?
Its not supposed to be hard.
Its supposed to come natural.
It doesn’t have to be easy, and it shouldn’t be. It is a commitment that is made every day. But its easy enough when you look at your partner and think “I can’t imagine life without you.”
Love is when you realize you love the little things. The way he kisses your...

100 books to read before you die..
I decided since I just bought a kindle today, and I’m trying to read 100 books before my 21st birthday, I should look at this list again that I posted on facebook forever ago.Italicized means I’m reading it, and bold is that I’ve read it.The books on this list are going to be my next to be read. So maybe I’ll actually get to a hundred by then.. 1 Pride and Prejudice -...

My Review of The Weighted Silence
So, in my challenge of myself to read 100 books by my 21st birthday, I have read the book The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf. Now, I know I am not a literary master of writing or anything close to that, but I love books. I love good books, cheesy books, etc. So don’t take whatever I have to say as proof, because God knows I barely know what I think half the time.
But I decided if...
100 Book Challenge.
I just found this awesome website www.shelfari.com.
And I’ve decided to take part in their 100 book challenge, which means I’m gonna try and read 100 books in 1 year. It will probably be hard, but I love reading so we’ll see if I can do it!
So, in 2011 so far I have read/am reading

I never thought this would be so hard on me. Well, okay, I won’t lie, I knew it would. I’m easily the most emotional person I know, but I try and pretend I’m strong. I pretend pretty well most days. I don’t know, I didn’t think I could miss my brother this much. But I get his letters and I just cry as I read them, my little brother is out in the world and growing up...
i’m afraid life is moving too fast. two seconds ago you were eight years old, living at your grandma’s wishing and hoping for the day you would be grown up and have a life of your own. then you blink, and grandma’s been gone 8 years, brother enlisted and your life doesn’t feel like yours. you look at yourself in the mirror, and wonder where the time went. why the good parts...

since i haven't been good about the challenge..
I’m gonna skip ahead anyway to a deceased person i wish I could talk to. Grandma, I miss you. The time that has passed since you died hasn’t made that any better, but to be honest I never expected it to. You were a big part of my life, well duh, you’re my grandma. I always wonder what you think of my life or the people I spend it with. I know you’d love Dakota, he’s...
sailors and tattoos..
first of all, my brother left for the navy last wednesday. the first day was hard, the whole house felt empty and i never thought i’d miss my brother this much.. as the days went on, it got a bit easier, except for when i saw something i wanted to show him and i couldn’t just go in the next room and show him.. it breaks my heart how much i miss him.. but i got a letter from him today,...

day seven, my ex..
I have nothing to say to a stranger, so I’ll skip ahead a day.. For a long time, I’ve harbored a lot of hatred and anger towards my ex-boyfriend…but after three years (my god, has it been that long?!) I think that I have let it all go. I haven’t forgiven him for the way he treated me but, I have decided that what happened between us, no matter how bad it hurt then, has...
day five, my dreams..
since I was about five years old, i wanted to be an artist. i watched my mom paint like she was a genius. when i tried, she’d often paint over it.. but then the day came where she started letting me paint important things, and then the day she wanted me to draw things for her.. since then, i’ve been hooked. the feel of a pen (sometimes pencil, but not usually) in my hand, the love of...
day four, my brother..
Dear brother, I love you. I know it may not always seem like it, but I’m going to miss you like crazy when you’re gone.. I don’t have much else to say since I already said it all in the other post.
day 3, my parents.
Without my parents, I probably wouldn’t be where I am. Granted, we don’t always get along.. My mom and I are two totally different people, and we don’t always see eye to eye. She wants me to be something I’m not, and I don’t like feeling like a square peg being shoved into a round hole. I am stubborn, and that doesn’t lend itself well to our relationship..This...
day two, my crush
My crush is much more than a crush.. I love him, and he loves me for some reason I have yet to figure out..
He is a kind and decent person, and even when I make him angry he is there for me.. I have messed up a lot lately, and while it may not feel like it now, maybe it’ll make us closer someday. He has never done wrong to me, he has treated me with the most respect and love anyone has ever...

day one.. best friend..
my best friend is a person that i can relate a lot to. she knows my past, she understands my present.. and yet, she’s still the person i tell my secrets to. if you would’ve told me two years ago that she’d be my best friend, i would’ve laughed at you for being so ridiculous. because i was positive that would never happen. but somewhere along the line, we became best...

My Reading List.
so, this summer i have utilized my stanza app on my ipod. the wonders to be discovered there! so here is my summer reading list, well, possibly into the fall if i’m lazy: (in no particular order)
Anthem (i half-assed read it before)
The Catcher in the Rye (i can’t help it, love that book..)
Dear John
Flowers for Algernon
Pretty Little Liars series
Hitchhiker’s Guide...
Sometimes I think I'm going crazy...
…. But the rest of the time I know I am.
Sometimes I wish I had another sibling..
So that when Little Brother leaves, I won’t be alone. Is that selfish? No, no, not at all. Sometimes I think, what if I had another sibling, another little brother to kick around when I’m bored or to play video games with? Ooh, or a sister.. someone to do hair with, someone to talk about boys with, someone to help me deal with Little Brother. But, alas, it is just me and Little...
25 things.
I haven’t posted anything on here in a while, so when I was tagged on facebook for this, I decided to post it here, because I like tumblr better, because there is a good chance only two people on earth will read it.
1. I love reading. Some of my favorite books were the ones I was told to read in high school. They just spoke to me.
2. I hate driving. It is stressful and people die from it...
happiness is a journey, not a destination
but the things in life, the little things, are what really matter to me. like having his head in my lap, running my fingers through his hair.. or reading a good book that no matter how much i have to do, i can’t put it down.. or just zoning out listening to music letting it flow through me like blood.. or walking down the street holding his hand… or the way he reads my mind, most of...
10 rules to live your life by.
So I found this list of Clint Eastwood’s rules to live by…
1. Call your own shots 2. Be fearless 3. Keep moving 4. Love your job 5. Speak softly 6. Don’t be predictable 7. Find a good woman 8. Learn to play the piano 9. You are what you drive 10. Avoid extreme makeovers
So I read this, and I think, do I have rules to live by? I believe I do. MY rules to live by:
1) take life one day...
Insomnia?
It’s a strange thing. I think a lot.. I talk a lot around the right people, and yet.. I can’t think of what to write. Everything I write comes out phony and all I can think of is Holden Caufield laughing at me.. So I sit and re-write and re-write, knowing it won’t make a bit of difference. It’s about 1:30 in the morning and I can’t sleep.. It’s been a while but...
