The more people I come in contact with and the more friends I make, it seems as if everyone is blogging now a days. I finally decided to jump in on this crazy state of uncontrollable excitement and wild behavior and start a blog for myself.
For awhile I was a myspacer, then slowly I turned to facebook to keep in contact with all my friends across the world. I'm not gonna lie, facebook has slowly taken over my life! Let's be honest, it's not like I have anything better to do with my time than stalk people on that stupid site. No, in all honesty, it's been great. That site has allowed me to find and stay updated with friends from High School, College and even my mission to Brazil that I never thought I would see again. This brings me to my purpose of blogging...I'm just going to throw this out there, I know that this is going to come as a HUGE shock to a lot of you who are reading this, but As perfect as I may seem, I'm not! I am horrible at keeping a journal. I'm hoping that throwing down my thoughts, and posting a few pictures every couple of days it will not only allow my readers to keep up to date with where I am and what I am doing, but it will also help me to keep tabs on my own life! Besides, we all know that what we really want is to see and hear are the juicy details of each others life, right??? LET THE BLOGGING BEGIN....

Me, Myself, and I
- Lorie Mikal
- "A wise girl kisses, but does not love; Listens, but does not believe, And leaves before she is left." ~Marilyn Monroe
Words to live by:
When I'm older and my little girl asks me who my first love was..
I don't want to have to pull out an old photo album. I want to be able to
point across the room and say "He's sitting right over there".
The world is full of dreamers. And rightfully so, God created us that way. But at some point in our lives, we have the choice: To keep the dream for sleeping, or to wake up and live it. -Britnee Jean
"What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories." --- George Eliot"
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself. - Anais Nin
"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.....we have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith." Margaret Nadauld
There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.
~C. S. Lewis
It is the plain and sobering truth that before great moments, certainly great spiritual moments, there can come adversity, opposition, and darkness. Life has some of those moments for us, and occasionally they come just as we are approaching an important decision or significant step in our life... If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, then it is right now. Face your doubts, master your fears. Cast not away your confidence.- Jeffrey R. Holland
