Hygiene Hunt

After all the work, time and effort we put into our Hygiene Scavenger Hunt, 4 people showed up; the teacher, Shayla and her little sister :) and myself. You would think that more people would want to contribute to what's happening around us, but I guess not. If anyone would like to donate Hygiene Products to the Homeless/people who need it, please message me. Thanks!

Good News!!!

Well, it's official!! I have some amazing but shocking news!! I'M EXPECTING!!! A little under 7 weeks and counting. I know, I'm shocked too. I can barely believe it. I wasn't going to post about it but since you guys are my family and friends, I wanted to make it official. I'm too overwhelmed to keep it a secret!! Who would have though that ME of all people would be expecting!! But I am!!!! We are expecting Santa Claus in just 7 weeks :) Let's see who reads the whole status. That's why it's good to know the whole story before you run and gossip :)

Dear Ex's,

Sincerely,

Tori

My Opinion :'(

Opinions are so important and personal to us, yet are spoken and heard so little.  And when they heard, nothing is done to change them.  Why?  Does no one care?  Is everyone to Prideful to care about others?  What's happening?

My Dad

I Love You Dad!!!

Let it Snow!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss good night
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

The Man I Want To Be - Chris Young

God, I'm down here on my knees
'Cause it's the last place left to fall
Beggin' for another chance
If there's any chance at all
That You might still be listenin'
Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me

I've spent my whole life
Gettin' it all wrong
And I sure could use Your help
'Cause from now on

I want to be a good man
A do like I should man
I want to be the kind of man
The mirror likes to see

I want to be a strong man
And admit that I was wrong man
God, I'm asking You to come change me
Into the man I want to be

If there's anyway for her and me
To make another start
Could You see what You could do
To put some love back in her heart?
'Cause it goin' to take a miracle
After all I've done to really make her see

That I want to be a stay man
I want to be a brave man
I want to be the kind of man
She sees in her dreams

God, I want to be Your man
And I want to be her man
God, I only hope she still believes
In the man I want to be

Well, I know this late at night the talk is cheap
But Lord, don't give up on me

I want to be a givin' man
I want to really start livin', man
God, I'm asking You to come change me
Into the man I want to be

Criminal Minds - Hodges

A cold wind blows, I am shivering
My body aches, as my heart is breaking
Why is life making me hollow
Why is happiness casting me in the shadows
In the shadows

Hold on, don't turn and walk away
Save me
And I cried these words but nobody came

I'm all alone, running scared
Losing my way in the dark
I tried to get up, stand on a prayer
But I keep crashing down hard

This is my side of the story
Only my side of the story
Nobody cares, nobody's there
No one will hear, my side of the story

Emptiness, it's all around me
I tried to catch my breath
I'm barely surviving
And I can't go on and I come undone
And there's nothing left in me

Hold on, don't turn and walk away
Save me
And I cried these words but nobody came

I'm all alone, running scared
Losing my way in the dark
I tried to get up, stand on a prayer
But I keep crashing down hard

This is my side of the story
Only my burden to bear
Nobody cares, nobody's there
No one will hear

As I fall down
As I fall in

I cried these words but nobody came

I'm all alone, running scared
Losing my way in the dark
I tried to get up, stand on a prayer
But I keep crashing down hard

This is my side of the story
Only my side of the story
My side of the story
Only my burden to bear
But nobody cares, nobody's there
No one will hear
My side of the story

I Am Grateful

I'm grateful for the experiences that I go through to make me a better and stronger person, but I'm also very grateful for the Friends that God gave me in my life.  While sliding for the first time on ice; Tasha Wilkinson and Tom Perry helped me to know that I can always pray to the Lord for help, even when I'm driving, freaking out and sliding all over the road.

Thank you

Snowfall

On January 23, 2012 I posted my first blog entry.  I've come a long way since then, and amazingly 137 blog-posts later, I'm talking about the same thing.  Last winter we didn't have very much snow, it didn't even snow on Christmas.  The snow didn't stick until January 23, but this year it snowed hard and heavy on November 9. 

Hopefully we'll receive a White Christmas this year.

Inside Compliment

#00 - You added on a little note with your number in the message, saying you didn't know that I'd have anything to say about you. You're mistaken. I watched you throughout the semester of a class I had with you. You were a girl who at first, a bit timid, didn't care to share. I remember making an announcement in seminary one day, that we were all there for a reason, and we all had something that only
you could bring to the table. After that, you got up regularly to share your beliefs and things that inspired you. I've watched you do the same in my group Shine. You have come out of your shell, in hopes of helping others. You are a darling girl, with such a good heart, and such strong beliefs. I hope you'll stick to what you so often shared about. I hope you are continuing to reach out to those who need a hand up. I want you to know that sometimes, what we do seems so small; almost worthless at times. But you never know how one small act of kindness can create a ripple effect. Keep going about doing goodness; it made a difference to me. I may be one, but that's still one more than it would be had you not tried. ♥
~Dear Friend
