Feels Like Home

Pura Vida!

2006-06-28T14:48:00.000-07:00

Well i just got back from my second trip to Costa Rica and it was even more amazing than last year! God is working in crazy ways down there and it keeps reassuring me of his faithfulness. The ticos never cease to amaze me in their love and kindness. If only I could be like that all of the time. I wanted to bring them all home with me. And now its back to scooping away at the coldstone.
This is the ridiculously hot dance team that we had in Cachi. Dang!

i'm a senior in 2 months! that is so scary to me! ah.....i dont think i am ready for this. why does life go by so fast?? its like i blink and i'm a year older.

OoH i GoT a CrUsH oN yOu

2006-02-27T16:11:00.000-08:00

So i have never really thought about it before, but there is definitely a reason that a crush is called a crush. Because as fun and mushy gushy as they can be, they can totally crush your heart. And why do i even let my heart get involved in a crush? Really i mean come on now, it's a crush for goodness sakes, not a boyfriend or anything that i could call my own. It's just this hope that lingers through my days, a smile, a glance, a hello. But those lead to the almost disgusting mushiness that make them so exciting. And i guess thats why i still crush, for the mush.

So there is this one guy...

2006-02-08T21:48:00.000-08:00

i have this friend...and i'd have to say that he's pretty cool. he loves to talk, especially about things that he's passionate about. he goes on these tangents that can last for hours, but it's ok cuz i love listening. he brings up things that i would never have thought of, and he really challenges the way that i think, which i like. he mixes up the vowels in my name, but we understand each other when we can't verablize what we're thinking, so i'll overlook that. he's really smart, but i think that he doesn't realize how smart he is. not only is he book smart, but he's pretty life smart. he helps me when i'm struggling and gives me honest advice. he worries about college but i know that he'll get into the best one. we sit in slides on playgrounds and talk about the people that we like. we wonder why we like the people we do, and why the heck do things not work out the way we want them to? when he leaves, i'll probably cry because my conrad will be gone. but i know that we will stay friends because that's just how things are between us. oh, and he always bothers me to update my blog, so this one's for you.

i'm so old

2005-11-21T16:37:00.000-08:00

welp, i'm the big 1-7 now and to be honest i don't feel any different. do you ever notice how people ALWAYS ask you that after your birthday? "do you feel any older?" and of course the answer is always NO. i guess what i feel is nostalgia. i love that word. but then again i feel nostalgic all the time. i feel weird that this is my 2nd to last christmas at home. i feel weird that i only have 2 more birthdays of being a teenager. i feel scared that I am growing up so fast. i am realizing that "the big kids" whom i looked up to when i was younger really aren't so big. because i'm one of those kids now, and i feel small and immature. i feel like my adolescence is slipping through my fingers like sand, and before i know it i'm gonna be old and wrinkly. i wish i could just stop time for a little while and bask in the excitement of my youth, but i know that it can't and won't happen. i guess thats just one of the things you learn about growing up, that you can't control it. and thats hard.

- the amazing Nathan Hooks
Recently i have been chatting with this kid about all of the drama in my life and he has brought to my attention the fact that I try way too hard to make people happy. It's exhasting and for the most part totally not worth it. People are gonna make mountains out of molehills no matter what you do, and i need to realize that I have no control over how people respond to the things I do.
...hey nate i'm starting a database of all of your insightful quotes starting right......NOW

Booya grandma! Yeah so earlier this volleyball season i was really sad cuz I didn't make varsity. But then it didn't really matter cuz i absolutely loved my JV team, we were the BOMB. I became such good friends with all of my girls and we had an amazing season. But at our last practice i found out they were pulling me up to varsity for their post season and i am STOKED. I get to serve and play back row which is my favorite! Woop Woop.

Oh Yeah I'll Wait for That...

2005-10-16T16:30:00.000-07:00

WAIT FOR THE GUY
who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
who calls you back even though you just hung up on him -- who thinks you're perfect even though he knows the worst things about you.
WAIT FOR THE BOY
who kisses your forehead.
who wants to show you off to the world when you're in a t-shirt and sweatpants.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup.
WAIT FOR THE MAN
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
The one who takes the lead and isn't afraid to be the man. The one who turns to His friends and says, "That's her."

I think every girl wants a guy like that. It may be unrealistic, i understand that. But a girl can dream, right? It's better than settling for a mediocre guy who won't treat you the way that you deserve. I got this little "Wait for the Guy" thing from my dearest Ash Coop.

Well yeah, so today we had the PSAT and we got out of school at 11 and a bunch of my volleyball girls and i went to Chipotle and it was great fun. Then we decided to go to Dinosaur Park (this park down in Denver) just to mess around and I definitely had one of my most embarrassing moments. I wanted to be cool and jump over this little creek/river thing and show off. So i get this running start and as i'm mid-air i realize there is no possible way that i'm gonna make it to the other side. I tucked into a ball and rolled onto the ground, just barely missing the creek. But i guess before i jumped i never realized this HUGE puddle in the grass where I would be landing. So yeah my entire right butt cheek was dripping wet, and i was wearing GREY sweats, so it was totally noticeable. Yeah, that's my story. Another embarrassing moment to add to my never-ending list of things that i'll never be able to live down.

I'm in Love With Frost (Robert that is)

2005-10-10T21:23:00.000-07:00

So yeah the other day i was talking with a good friend of mine about the crossroads of our lives, and a line from "The Road Not Taken" popped into my head. And I've always liked that poem a lot because of how you can apply it to so many situations in life. So yeah, here is my fave poem of the moment...
"The Road Not Taken"
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost (the freaking best poet ever)

Hands, Preps, Teeth

2005-10-04T15:22:00.000-07:00

I've realized through my experiences in the past year that death is one of the most surreal things to me. Like, i know that the person is dead, but i still feel like i could see them around. Like i'll bump into them at the mall, or see that person at family dinners, but that's never gonna happen. It's almost as if all of a sudden they vanished from the face of the earth, which in a sense, they did. I dunno, it's way confusing to me.....
ANYWAYS....i don't exactly want to just talk about death on this post because i had a question to ask y'all. What, to you, is the most attractive feature in the opposite sex? And it doesn't just have to be physical.
Mine I would have to say is hands. If a guy has good hands...awww. I melt. And i'm a sucker for preps. But a random guy walking down the street with his collar popped isn't necessarily hot just cuz of the popped collar, he's gotta have the attitude to go with it. It's like the prep package, he's gotta have the clothes and the air of a prep and i'll pretty much start drooling. Oh yeah, and i can't forget good teeth! So....yeah, just let me know what y'all like!!
P.S. Conrad, i posted cuz you told me to, otherwise i probably wouldn't have.

So Much

2005-09-26T21:18:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I just wish you could take it all away
Even if it's just one or two worries
I don't know if I can take it
I don't know if I can bear it, or how to bear it
I've never encountered this loss before
I feel numb, like i'm watching someone else's life
So take my hand and don't let go
Cuz if you don't I know I'll get lost
Please don't let go, not now

That's Comforting

2005-09-22T20:48:00.000-07:00

My AP Bio teacher, "All of your deepest thoughts are just sodiums passing through membranes in your brain."
That made me feel real good...not. Haha. Whatev.

STRESSING!

2005-09-15T18:03:00.000-07:00

Ok so everyone always says junior year is the hardest one, and for a while i believed them, but that was before i was a junior. in the beginning of this school year i was like, "oh yeah i can totally do this, i don't have that much homework, blah blah." well yeah it is now SO HARD! like SO DIFFICULT. i used to be the girl who could just not study and still whip out an A, but not anymore. i have been getting Bs and Cs on tests! AGH! Goodbye valedictorian dreams, even though i sorta gave those up last year. but yeah, i hate having to actually WORK for my grades, it totally sucks. plus SATs and ACTs are coming up, and ugh. But life is still good. I am glad that I am busy. Oh and when are matrices EVER going to help me in real life???

This is for Connor

2005-09-05T01:41:00.000-07:00

Well Connor was getting on my case about how I never post anymore, so I am posting. Welp, life is good, nothing to complain about. I am so stinkin excited for my homecoming and for AHS's homecoming even though it is like a month away, i dont care. I'm so stoked. I have this SWEET dress that my best bud Nat helped me pick out. Yeehaw. K, well i am so tired and nat and i just finished watching count of monte cristo, so now we are probably gonna go in the basement, snuggle up, and talk about boys till we fall asleep. Peace out.

Emotions

2005-07-12T23:18:00.000-07:00

OK, so the other day I was talking with Nate, Shay, and Natalie and we were talking about emotions. And I've talked with my mom about it before, and she pointed out that emotions are not always truth. When I mentioned this, not everyone agreed. So...I want to hear all of your input. Please be completely honest, cause I'd like to know your opinion. Are your emotions truth?.....or do they just distort your perception of truth? And make you believe things that actually aren't true or real?

More Orosi Please

2005-07-04T23:33:00.000-07:00

May I just say that culture shock really sucks. I want to go back to Costa Rica more than anything in the world right now. I feel like a part of me is missing...like I left my heart in Costa Rica. The U.S. doesn't hold the sparkle that it used to. It seems dull and corrupt to me now. I just want to be back in my Tico home in Orosi eating gallo pinto at every meal and walking over to Nathan, Natalie, and Ashley's street to hang out whenever we wanted to. I miss speaking spanish and I really just miss living such a humble, simple life. I miss my Tico and her always understanding smile. I miss Wilberth and the way that he said my name. I even miss that dorky hand gesture thing they would do all the freaking time. I just wanna go back.

Back in the Land of Plenty, Where All We Want Is More

2005-06-30T22:31:00.000-07:00

Returning back to the states was a bittersweet experience. More emphasis on the bitter part. I've been on 2 missions trips to Mexico before, and on each one of them I have realized how extremely blessed I am. But there was just something about the quiet town of Orosi in the countryside of Costa Rica that really touched my heart. Something about it made me realize that it's not things that make these friendly Ticos happy, it's the relationships with their friends and families that make them content. Here in the states we have everything we could dream of, and yet i've noticed that people here are far less happy. I guess God just really laid upon my heart the importance of relationships. And how I can show His love not only through my words, but more importantly through my actions. I want to share a verse that Ash Coop pointed out to me that seems like the unofficial verse of the trip to me. It's Jeremiah 29:13, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart." I love it.

Just One of Those Days

2005-06-14T17:39:00.000-07:00

Today was just one of those days where it felt like everything was going wrong and there was nothing I could do about it. And I really wanted to be in a good mood, but it just seemed like i could couldn't pull myself out of the hole i was in. First I overslept. Then I got my paycheck and it was a whole heck of a lot less than I thought it would be, or maybe even less than it SHOULD be. Then I had to run all around town to get all of this random stuff and i was just so sick of driving. Then my cool Steve Madden sunglasses broke (I can never seem to hold onto a good pair of sunglasses for more than a month, I'm convinced I'm cursed). But then i had a pool party with my bestest friends in the world, so that really brightened my day. They make me so happy. And now I'm really sunburned...but I like having more color and getting more freckles. Haha. 2 more days till Costa Rica!!!!

So Much For My Happy Ending

2005-06-09T00:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I think that what I think I want, isn't' really what I want. My brain keeps telling me that I desire someone so much that I'll never be able to let go of him. Because that's how badly I want and need him. But then the realistic side of me tells me that I have to give it up, move on, turn the page. It's almost as if all of those sappy chick-flicks are affecting my cycles of thinking by convincing me that I have to hold onto feelings for someone in case he wakes up all of a sudden and realizes that I am everything he always wanted while he was on his journey for meaning, and all along I was right here. Well I don’t want to let those emotions manipulate who I am. Because my emotions do not define who I am. Emotions are not reality. They may have pieces of truth in them, but they are often very deceiving. I think this whole time I have been rationalizing every single daydream I've dreamt about someone when all along, I've really just been hurting myself. Yes, a girl has a right to daydream. But creating an alternate dreamland where he is my king and I am his queen can lead to a royal disaster. When I start to believe that he's the person I imagine him to be instead of the person who he is, that's where my heart is let down. Cuz see, in all those chick flicks, the girls' daydreaming never goes to waste. Because inevitably, her dream guy will toss a few pebbles at her moonlit window to tell her that she's everything he never knew he always wanted. She will have the man she's always dreamt about and they'll live happily ever after. So thank you Hollywood for planting that seed of hope in my naïve mind that maybe, someday that could happen to me. But I've waited long enough for a certain Prince Charming of my own to come and sweep me off my feet. And now I'm sick of waiting for him. So I'm letting go, moving on, turning the page. Waiting for this knight in shining armor to ride in on his valiant steed from my lonely tower has just been disappointing and frustrating. So good-bye to this certain fairy tale ending, because this princess is givin it up.

A Change

2005-06-07T09:11:00.000-07:00

Honestly, i was just getting sick of the pinkness of my old blog, so i decided to switch it up a bit, plus i love green. Isn't it perdy? Anyhoo, i get to go to work today! Yeehaw. Actually i love working at cold stone because the atmosphere is so much fun and the people are hilarious. and last night when i went there with lauren and shaylee and her fam, i found out that since i work there i get a 50% discount on my entire group! That was pretty exciting.

Summer is here! Yipee!

2005-06-06T21:02:00.000-07:00

Well i have not posted in forever, so i decided that i probably should. My summer is going absolutely amazingly, and I am having the time of my life with all of my buds. Especially Shaylee. Man that girl is the bomb-shniggety. Oh and so is Lauren. BTW (by the way) Costa Rica in 11 days baby! I am so freaking excited. I have a feeling it is gonna have a huge impact on our whole team just because it is something so different from what we have done before. K, well y'all should come visit me at Cold Stone Creamery!! Ice Cream rocks my socks.

Prayer Please

2005-05-09T20:15:00.000-07:00

Well, lately things have not exactly been picturesque in my familia and it's mostly because my grandpa has cancer. Things have become more and more complicated because of his chemotherapy and he's been in and out of the hospital for about the past 2 and a half months. I've sort of been prepared for him to die any day now, and i've finally come to the point where I think that i'll be able to handle it when he does pass. But it's so hard for me to watch my dad struggle with watching his once-active dad slowly deteriorating every day. He's turned back to smoking and he's had a short temper and it's really starting to take a toll on me. He never spends any time with my family it seems like and when he does he doesn't say much. Like, i understand why he's so stressed because he's had to deal with finding my grandpa an assisted living center and all that stuff, but i sorta feel like not only am i slowly losing my grandpa, but i feel like a part of my dad is gone too. I just wish things were like they used to be...

Ralph

2005-05-08T20:18:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am obsessed with cool and inspiring quotes and i just found what i think is one of the coolest quotes EVER! Here it is..
"Don't go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Isn't that so cool? I was looking through some of his other quotes and they're pretty thought-provoking. So yeah, there is my dorky quote for today, and you can count on many more to come.

Catman?? Haha.

2005-05-01T12:14:00.000-07:00

Well did y'all know that Halle Berry's stunt double in the movie Catwoman was a MAN? Isn't that so weird? I just thought i'd share that tidbit of useless info with you.

Us Poor Little Rich Kids

2005-04-07T18:58:00.000-07:00

You never really know how fortunate you are until look at the life of another. Even if that person seems like they don't have a care in the world, just by spending a few moments with them you are able to see glimpses into their life. And while some of those glimpses are happy or even somehwhat picture-perfect, some of them are the opposite. Seriously, all of us little rich kids are soooo spoiled. We complain because we have to pay for our own gas, we have to go to work, or we have to clean up our freaking rooms. Boo-hoo. We should be so incredibly thankful every single day for the fact that we even have a car to pay for the gas for, or that we have a job even though it pays only $6.50 an hour (which i can guarantee you is more than what people in the rest of the world make), and we should be thankful that we even have a room to clean because entire families in other parts of the world live in houses that are the size of our rooms. Sometimes we think that our lives are so bad just because we can't afford that pair of abercrombie jeans that we want or because we didn't get to go to Hawaii for spring break. Our lives would literally be a paradise for kids who live in say Africa or India. Just somethin to think about...

Egg-cellent Night

2005-03-25T20:09:00.000-08:00

Last night Laine and I had a sweet sleepover and chugged 2-liter bottles of diet coke and died easter eggs to look like napolean dynamite and kip! Haha. I love ya Laine!

My 1st 1st Place of 2005!

2005-03-16T19:42:00.000-08:00

Tonight I got 1st place in my 100m hurdles at my track meet! I was so excited, but then again it was a super tiny meet with only like 5 schools, but it is still cool to me. I got to spend some great quality time with my awesome friend Krista, which was so much fun. We talked about boys for a really long time...mostly about the qualities we are looking for, so basically our "ideal guy." It was great. OH YEAH! And also, last Saturday our boys bball team won the State Championship up at CSU! GO CRUSADERS! I am so proud. There is this enormous controversy right now at school b/c they are changing our name to the Centennial Christian Cougars since we are moving our campus to Dry Creek Road, and all of the hardcore Crusaders are protesting. It's pretty funny. They are passing petitions around the whole school getting all of the kids to sign them, so that the faculty to change their minds about the new name, mascot, and school colors, which they want to change to blue and gold, so we would pretty much look like wanna-be Nuggets. Anyhoo, i would like to stay the royal blue Denver Christian Crusaders, but whateva. Layta.

Brown Palace Baby!

2005-03-13T19:34:00.000-08:00

Today was SOOO much fun. Honestly, it was magical. I know it sounds super corny, but it's true! Laine's birthday party was today and we went to the Brown Palace Hotel downtown and I had the time of my life! Even though was almost crying because i couldnt find a parking spot, it was an amazing afternoon. We (Laine, Krista, Chelsea, Faith, Jenny, and Rachel) had tea in this GORGEOUS room in the hotel and i felt like a princess. We ate these cute little pastries and drank delicious tea with cool names like Dejeeling and we stuck our pinkies out and it was just sweet. Our little waitress Jane was so cute and reminded of a British maid or some character from Alice in Wonderland. Then, Laine, Faith and I explored the place and found where the penthouse suites were and where the ULTIMATE sweet was. We took super goofy pics and Faith stole a chocolate pretzel from a room service cart. Haha. It was a GREAT Par-tay!!!

1 More Day!!

OMY GOODNESS! I am oh-so excited because tomorrow I will be able to drive freely again and my grounding will be over!! Yipee!! I am ecstatic because for the past month and a half i have had to miss so many fun things because i wasn't allowed to drive myself. And it sucked butt. But now i will be able to drive wherever i want. Just some words of advice from a dumb person like me, DONT get a speeding ticket. Plus tomorrow is Lauren's sweet 16! We had to run hills at track today and my butt is in so much pain!!! AHH!!

We watched movies, Crazy deleted scenes, painted our nails and ate way too much, a typical girl party. Oh yeah and shay- if the foo $****...LOL. It was a great time and i can't wait for our next party. Debbie, i am so glad we pulled it off!

Table Mountain Inn

Today i had to go out to lunch with my mom's side of the family. My mom didnt even let me go to school (not that i'm complaining or anything, but actually..... i think i would have rather been in school.) Anyhoo, we drove all the way out to Golden for this lunch, and then we went and visited my grandpa in the hospital (he's in the ICU now), and hopefully he'll be getting out tomorrow. He had some sort of atrial fibration or something. Its complicated. And Rick is acting like this big cool chef today b/c he's making dinner for our family plus my grandparents and aunt and uncle. What a goof.

Well, Last Saturday, febuary 12, was my school's sadie hawkins dance and boy was it fun! It was at Red & Jerry's and it was like we had our own little club. I went with a bunch of my close girlfriends and i few guys too. It was a great time, and to think that i was gonna miss it! Laine, thanks for pushing me to go!! Laine, Krista, and I were busting out some so-weet dance moves, and Faith and I grabbed a bunch of the wallflowers for one of the slow songs, it was awesome. Then i went to Callie's and that was fun too. It was an incredible night!! :)
