reason for the season

I can't believe it's December! Coming up soon I'll be done with 37.5% of my college education! Time is flying faster and faster. 

I can't believe it's already time for the holidays! I cannot wait to be home sweet home with Mark ( I miss him like crazy), my whole amazing family and cute little rocky who likes to walk under the tree and mess up all our ornaments.

And even though it's only the 2nd, it's already hard not to get wrapped up (get it, like presents? haha) in the commercialized meaning of Christmas.

Right now everyone is distracted by exams, stressed about work or money and everything that comes with this time of the year. Calendar's have lost every inch of free space left and pockets are silently protesting the amount of money you have left to spend.

But thankfully, the older I get the less Christmas is about presents & Santa and the more it's about spending time with family and the true meaning of Christmas. What else could I need then what I already have? An amazing family, good friends, a college education. Not to mention shelter, food and all the necessities. 

What Christmas is really about is the most precious gift.

A gift that will relax you during the hustle and bustle of the holidays, comfort you throughout every month of the year and is welcome to everyone who wants it.

A gift that's eternal and won't slowly lose it's appeal as the years go by.

So while your hanging up your lights, decorating the tree & making frequent runs to Starbucks for a peppermint mocha, lets not forget the reason for the season. 

And she will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins. 

Matthew 1:21

I'm ready!

It's time to brave the snowglobe that Boone is slowing turning in to.

 God shook it up people!

Over the summer I was doing a few things around my Grandparent's house and I found this cute red scarf that Grandmommy wore when she was in college! It's pretty cool that I get to wear it now on this blustery day!

Happy snow!

10 steps to building an Ark in Boone

Say a man and a woman

 both need something 

to sleep in and both 

go to the same men's pajama department. 

The man says to the salesman, 

"I just need bottoms," 

and the woman says, 

"I just need a top." 

They look at each other 

and that's the meet cute.

will the real slim shady please stand up?

I wrote a rap - Eminem style...

yeah, you heard me right.

We're actually pretty similar...

FIRE & ICE

You speak, I see your words

the ones you swore I heard.

but what I prefer is to find a cure, 

for the lines to blur

cause what we had  was never sure 

but the cup is pourin' over too fast

erase the past, drown our pain

was it worth the fight for you to gain 

my hate? This time we'll have to wait

for the track to lay cause

were running in a figure eight

and the planes thats comin's left the gate 

across my heart - it blocked you from the start

now you did your part - tore my life apart

you've got it down to a fine art

but I'm too smart to let you in.

It'd be a sin to light within

the fire you ignited once again. 

But still I hear your voice

yet with you my only choice is to catch a plane

so I must rejoice of freedom 

from your brutal reign- of love in vain 

that tortured pain but the blow

to my pride has me insane. I'm lost

and the price of loss is a cost I'd never cross

it's frost from the chill your touch has thrilled

but the metled ice has my cup refilled

  I'm full and I'm staying strong

I'm flyin' right along - 

now the air is right your touch is wrong- 

why rhyme fresh words

to an old school song? I'm gone, I don't belong

though the love we had was long

I'll be in flight - take to the night

I'd curse your life but I'm too polite

so with this plight

 I'll take my flight

and leave you burnin' blazin' bright.

I didn't really know 

how to end it but there ya go.

Yo Adrian

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done."

LET IT GO

1:34 at night and you're

running through my head.

I'm replaying our stupid fight

and all the things we left unsaid.

It's keepin me awake

cause I know the fault's on me

and I'm rememberin'

your sweet voice sayin' "Baby, Baby please"

(CHORUS)

Let it go

let it all go

Admit that your wrong.

Say you're sorry to my face

or we'll be here all night long.

Forget tonight

erase the fight

and kiss me in that crazy way

my hands are open wide for you

if you'll just meet me halfway.

My stubborn mind

is standing firm on

those angry thoughts of you

but dreaming of your

lips on mine just makes me

come unglued. 

Cause when I'm mad at you 

I end up wanting you instead

replaying the way your blue eyes shined

 as you looked at me and said

(CHORUS)

Let it go

let it all go

Admit that your wrong.

Say you're sorry to my face

or we'll be here all night long.

Forget tonight

erase the fight

and kiss me in that crazy way

my hands are open wide for you

if you'll just meet me halfway.

(BRIDGE)

My phone starts flashing 

its your words reading 

baby come outside

I'll be waiting there for you

whatever you decide

So I run straight out the door

and throw away my pride

feeling your hand tightly wound with mine

as you listen to me say

(MODIFIED CHORUS)

I've let it go

let it all go.

I'm admitting that I'm wrong.

I'm saying sorry to your face

so please hold me all night long.

Forget tonight

erase the fight

and kiss me in that charming way.

My hands are reaching out for you

if you'll meet me  halfway.

Oh let it go

baby I've let it go.

My hands are reaching out for you 

if you'll just meet me halfway

I've let it go baby just meet me halfway.

halfway baby

just meet me halfway.
