since you've been gone

no, i'm not gonna say "i can breathe for the first time". that would be rude. great song, though :) it's been a while since i've talked to you, so i figured today would be as good a time as any other. not a lot has gone on. we went camping last weekend. kind of. everyone except me, mom, brian and dad did. we went up for the days, but went home for the night. it was just at buena vista so it wasn't a big deal to drive there and back. the last day, it was raining and the wind was so hard we went to aunt dana's and uncle mike's for breakfast. we got there about thirty minutes before uncle mike and aunt dana did, but she gave us the number to their security pad. we looked everywhere around the house for the damn thing. the neighbor thought we were breaking in. we looked around again. we finally found it. in plain sight. oh, their dogs barked at us too. never came near us, but the big one barked so much he blew out his bark box :) haha, that sounds funny. bark box... anyway, when everyone else got to the house, bryce was the first one in and he was all O.o when he saw us in the house already. his face was priceless. aunt dana showed us a picture. remember the one that's got tiffany in it? well, we buried a copy of that picture with you. and now you're in the picture, like in spirit form. seriously, it's so creepy. but anyway, after the picture was brought up, aunt jann and uncle james started talking about ghost towns and a ghost in their house... i'm kinda scared to go to their house now. i've already been there once, but i didn't know it was literally being haunted. just thinking about it freaks me out. oh, by the way. i'd really, really appreciate it if you'd stop yelling at me in the middle of the night. i like my sleep, okay? especially when i'm not feeling good. anyway, i just wanted to talk for a little bit. i started missing you. i thought about putting the sound of music in, but when i thought about it, it made me cry. i can't watch that movie without you. i can't watch julie andrews' version of peter pan, either. i can't listen to christy lane songs, either. or anne murray. i can't listen to a lot of songs without thinking about you. i feel like a wimp when i start crying out of the blue in public, but if anybody has a problem with it, they can just go fall off a cliff. it'd serve them right. ah, that phrase brings back some memories. i remember when i was about 7 or 8 we were in my bedroom and i was supposed to be going to sleep. i don't remember exactly what you were doing, but you were like, not even paying attention to me, and i was being really obnoxious to get your attention, and my beanie babies fell on my head, and i said "THAT HURT!" and you said "serves you right". i guess i should get to bed. it's almost 2 am and i know you're gonna be waking me up in about an hour or two, EVEN THOUGH I ASKED YOU NOT TO. but i'm gonna go now. i love you.

love, peanut

a poem to remember you by

so, i've been reading "chicken soup for the preteen soul 2" lately, because i finished my other books. i came across this poem that someone wrote, and i fell in love with it because it reminded me of you. so, i'm dedicating this poem, which was written by rachel punches, to you and to grandmama.

i cannot hear your laughter,
i cannot see your smile.
i wish that we could talk again,
if only for a while.
i know you’re watching over me,
seeing everything i do.
and though you’ll always be with me,
i will always be missing you.
you taught me that life is much too short,
and at any time could end.
but know that no matter where you are,
you will always be my friend.
and when it’s time for me to go,
you’ll be there to show me the way.
i wish that you could still be here,
but i’ll see you again someday.

so, heather's married now :) she and her husband jordan are in cancun right this very moment on their honeymoon. she didn't even know where they were going until the last minute. she looked really pretty in her dress :) like, really pretty. she was gorgeous. you totally would have cried. i almost cried. seriously. her reception was really fun. it's been a little over a week now.

so guess what? i'm getting a new phone. i'm gonna get a pantech impact :) it's super cute. see?



yeah, i know, its cute. so, i kind of don't know what to say anymore... the cuteness distracted me... so... i'mma let you go. cause i know i'm boring you to death (no pun intended, i love you). so, i'll end in our little bedtime banter.

goodnight.
sleep tight.
don't let the bed bugs bite.
if they do, pinch 'em in two.
if their friends come...
RUN!

county fair and heather's wedding details

heather's wedding was tonight and it was amazing. heather looked gorgeous, her husband looked great, and the whole wedding party was awesome--including the third ring bearer with the panda bear mask on his head :) it was adorable. the groomsmen drinking from flasks was pretty funny. one of jordan's relatives sang for them (his name is matthan hillberg and his cd comes out very soon. i forgot when) and he did a damn good job. at the wedding reception, there was quite a big of fun. the garter toss, the bouquet toss, the dances... they danced to 'jump on it' by sir mix a lot and it was pretty funny. i loved it, and i'm so proud of heather :) i totally thought i'd be the one to get married first, but she showed me up! i'm so happy for her and for jordan.

these first pictures are from the county fair. i love how they came out. the kids are so adorable.






and now for heather's wedding details :)






sandra took this one :)








i didn't post any of the happy couple because they haven't posted their own photos yet, and i still have to ask permission from heather, but if i get the okay, i'll show you just how gorgeous they both looked!

school girl

i'm sorry i didn't talk to you on the 15th. we blew bubbles for you :) i hope you got them. we were going to release red and blue balloons but we needed helium for it... and we didn't have it. so, guess what? willow's starting school tomorrow. she'll be in kindergarten. she's so excited about finally starting school. i can't believe it's already school time. bubba's in 4th grade and lexie's in 6th. brian and starley are starting at golden valley (which you'll recognize as my school) as seniors. brian has my p.e. teacher, mrs. balint-karr. i'm happy he has her. he'll like her. she helped me a lot when i was failing her class. i'm happy that she was tough on me, or i wouldn't have graduated. anyways, i just wanted to let you know about some stuff, and i did. by the way, here's some cute pictures of willow to hold you over until next time.


and my personal favorite

camping

guess what i get to dooo. i'm going camping! yeah, but not to alder creek... we're going to lake success. normally, i'd be pretty bummed. but now that i'm not scared of the water, i'm looking forward to it. there's just one thing that i'm worried about. i'm a girl... girls get one special time of the month. for a week. well, I'VE HAD MY SPECIAL TIME FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT SUCKS!! seriously, i think my cycle is screwed up. the last few times i've had it, it's been two weeks after i got off of it. and it's lasting a long time. i can't wait until i'm finally off of it. sometimes, i wanna go on birth control, just to keep it regulated. and light. anyways. i guess that's all... i usually have a ton of things to tell you, but nothing has really been going on. OH. last night, starley was going to brian's room. and she was walking backwards, but mom showed up at the door right when she turned around, and she screamed. haha, bonus.
