If you're willing to go crazy for someone & constantly put up with their crap then consider yourself in love.

I'm taken. 

At one point I would have hated to not have my options open, to be tied down, to not be able to do whatever I wanted with guys. but for now, I am happy. I love not having to worry about whether I look cute or not, since he'll always tell me I am beautiful. I don't have to worry about impressing people or worry about whether he likes me or not; because I just know.  A lot of people would rather me not be in a relationship, which makes me sad. I always have someone to count on, someone who's stuck with me through everything when no one else was there - when no one else even bothered. So no, I'm not ending this. It's what makes me happy, it's what makes me smile all day long, it's why I'm able to make it through the day.  It's what I need.

that's all:)

you can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months

over analyzing a situation; 

trying to put the pieces together, 

justifying what could've, would've happened...

or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and 

just keep going

See the World

I have always loved to travel. I love seeing how other people live, their cultures and values, what they find beautiful, their food, their jewelry, their clothes, their architecture, their landscapes. It's all new and different and excites me.

everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. 

loneliness hurts. 

rejection hurts. 

losing someone hurts. 

envy hurts.

everyone seems to get these things confused with love.

but in reality 

love is the only thing in this world 

that covers up all pain 

and makes someone feel wonderful again. 

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Kenny

Where to start?! Well I basically tell Kendal everything! Except for not really lately since I hardly ever see her anymore. But, we laugh a lot! Bake together (which consists of Kendal baking delicious things and me watching while eating all the frosting :) play pranks on people that most of the time get us in a lot of trouble.  We have lotsa fun but are content with sitting in her car listening to Shiny Toy Guns and talking until her car dies.  Kendal is a fantastic listener and always gives the best advice. I know I can go to her with anything and she'll be mad at anyone that was rude and will have the perfect thing to make it all better. I love her.

Megs!

Well we have been friends since the beginning of time.  Just look how cute we were! And look at our incredibly cute fashion sense. Oh boy.  We've been through a lot.  Girls camp. Awkward middle school.  Girls camp again.  Sleep overs (actually come to think of it we've had around 3. tops. super sad. anyway. they were really good sleepovers. ha.) Many hours were spent sitting in her room listening to her favorite music (mexican and country), taking super attractive pictures of her, shimmying, making music videos containing the one and only handsome Ryder and making obstacle courses. Oh and making Grandma Great angry by: doing ballet across her door, jumping on beds, cardboard tube fights, sticking bums in the air 'very unlady  like'.  Megs is soo gorgeous and is going to be a freakin amazing mom. We have so many inside jokes  since she laughs at things with me that everyone else thinks is really stupid. We're really mature. If you couldn't tell. I love her to death.

Becca

Get crazy! Get wild!! We have the funnest car rides ever - we even have a choreographed  car dance. We laugh so hard we cry. She falls down window wells and I almost pee my pants laughing.  We go to Borders a lot - we like gay guys.  She does my makeup... scandalously and she loves to change my status to inappropriate things.  We occasionally silly string ex-boyfriends cars.. just kidding! We get BLAMED for stupid stuff like that.  We stalk people and people stalk us.  We're cool that way.  It's always a party with Becca. She always makes me laugh. hard. I. love. her.

Austin

Oh geez. We have fun. Austin says the most hilarious things and I laugh super hard at everything he does. I tell him everything even though he can't really keep a secret.. I tell him anyway.  He is a gentlemen and he's so cute! He's super spontaneous and its always an adventure thats so much fun! From taking weird pictures dressed like hobos, to going to the zoo, to chilling on the couch he put on his roof (genius), to laughing hysterically about little things, whatever it is, its always something new and exciting! We've been dating for almost 8 months and I absolutely love him.
