Bragging...
My momma allowed for A LOT of artistic freedom for us kids.
Par example,
She did NOT freak out at me when I cut my American Girl Doll's (both kirsten and my look-a-like doll) hair...for that matter, she didn't freak out at me when I cut my own hair (from waist length to chin length)
She did not freak out when I drew a tree with crayons on my wall on my 16th birthday (I was going through a hippie phase)
She did not freak out when lit a pair of jeans on fire in my room just to see what would happen (the scorch mark on the hard wood floor remains)
Nor did she freak out when I decoupaged an antique table with hymns I tore out of one of our church songbooks.
More and more I realize how awesome my mom is. A few times she would say, "You might regret doing this" or calmly say "ask me before you start another project next time please". I always felt very free to express myself artistically.
I am SO thankful for that.
...though I do want to get new hair for my American Girl Dolls.

Hahaha, your mom is awesome. I was thinking about my parents the same way yesterday - telling someone about how patient they were when I went through my "artistic" phase in clothing. Mom didn't bat an eye when I walked out of the house in a flannel shirt, black shorts, white tights with pink hearts, combat boots, and my hair clipped with baby barrettes in 8 chunky braids. :) -
i love your mom....
and you!!! -
Your mother is so amazing. I am so glad to have had her as my other mommy during the hardest years of my life. On a similarly note, I miss you terribly and have been blessed beyond words to have your friendship, even after those ridiulous years. HEART!
-
I think I freaked out a little bit reading some of those things. :) I guess I need to calm down a little bit before I'm a mother!
-
lol....i love your mom too...
-
Take your doll to the American Girl store to the salon. They do that there -
you are such a free spirit! I'm so glad your mom allowed you to be you! -
HEEEY! ;D I didn't know u had one of theses! :) -
LOL!!!!! i remember u cutting ur own hair. u came to services one night or day or something and ur like "yeah, i cut it myself" lol
-

i miss you ali baba!!! ily
Living on prayer...and the Cranberry's, Jenny Lewis, and positive self talk
Hi anyone!
21 hours of school is tough, but my teachers are tres understanding. My first internship is going very well! 3rd grade is not what I expected but I'm really really starting to enjoy it. Some of my kids I just want to gobble up because they are so cute and sweet! other kids I just want to gobble up because they excel at patience-trying.
But even the trying kids have made their way permanently into my heart...and my heart, though stretched nearly beyond capacity is very very happy.
Livingston has been so so encouraging. I am fiercely in love with all of my dear friends at church. Livingston is a regular gold mine and the more I get to know some people the shinier they are! weird.
My beau has been so patient and kind to me. I dedicate any bit of good attitude or any kind spirit I have to his example. He is stability...and really good looking. Sorry, is that weird to say on your blog? I haven't written in so long I think I've forgotten how to do it.
My heart aches for home each and every day...I can't call my mother because it just makes me feel ever so far away from her. I am quite determined to go home for the summer so I can spend time with the most fabulous, most amazing, most brilliant, most FUN brothers in the WORLD! I also can't wait to just lean my head on my Dad's shoulder at church like I used to. I miss him so much. I think when I get home, I'll just jump in my mom's lap and just stay there...for like HOURS. I miss her comfort, her consolation and, while I'm on an alliterated roll, her care. I miss the way she smells and how her hands are always warm when mine are cold.
YES I know I'm 21 years old. I don't care! I'm still my momma and daddy's baby girl!
-
you two are TOO cute! can't wait to see you soon!!!
-
I will call! I miss hearing your voice! Yes, I agree, men can be wonderful. Seth is definitely a blessing. I'm so glad that you are happy with your man! Miss you -
Oh Lysson I miss you so. Next time I come to Tampa I promise it won't be during the musical. Or perhaps I will come to Pittaburgh. Either way my heart still remains entirely, unwaveringly, yours. Love.
-
hey girl! i'm writing this over your shoulders and pretty much strangling you! and i think there's spit on my left hand. -Katy Andrews/ libs
-
awwwww, i miss u ali ba ba ur gonna make me cry i hope that if u come to visit that you'll see us at T.R. (ur whole family) i luv u
-
i miss u ali ba ba u need to come and visit really soon!!!!:) -
I miss you a lot! I'm so glad that I got to see you in the musical- you were AMAZING! I can relate to that last paragraph in your post. I had so many aches for home while I was in FL. I hope you get to come visit beautiful Colorado soon! Love you!
-
If you would like to, you can come shadow me at school Monday or Tuesday if you want! Tim can come too. :) Really, you are absolutely welcome anytime!

funny how a single word can say so much and mean so much to a person, huh?
best wishes :)
happy
holidays!
I attended a gospel meeting one time, and as soon as I saw the preacher, I was not excited to be there. For whatever reason, his appearance and voice did not appeal to me in any way. inspite of this, he is the gospel preacher who impressed me more than any other preacher has with the first few words he said. After he introduced himself, he said "I'm here to talk to you all about the book of Romans, acknowledging that it would be much more to your benefit just to read the book yourself, but I will try to represent the Lord's word as best I can."
The Lord will give understanding and wisdom to all who ask him. We must have patience with him, and remember, he does all things in his time. we might not get the understanding we desire the minute we ask, often times it comes weeks or months later, but when it is revealed, there can be not doubt it is the Lord's doing. We must remember that the lord knows how to save those he wants to save, as well as keep them who he will to condemnation. He hardens those he will, and has mercy on those he will.
If we can't behave towards our breatheren in such a way, that they know without a doubt of our love towards them, then not only is there no value to anything we have to say to them(1 Cor 13), but we are blatently disobaying the God of heaven.
How can our breatheren doubt our love for them if we have the attitude God commands us to have?
We are commanded to be kindly affectionate to one another in honor prefering one another(Rom 12). We are, in lowlyness of mind, to esteem others better than ourselves(Phil.). We are to be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath(James 1). The man of God does not Strive with anyone, but is gentle to ALL men(2Tim 2). We know our Lord loves us, because he gave his life for us, and we ought to give our lives for the breatheren(1 John 3).
these are all clearly commandments that every christian must observe. I believe if many breatheren observed these commandments to half of the degree they observe our commandment to not forsake the assembly, the church would grow much more rapidly. I believe many in the church today focus on being conservative, denouncing denominations, and on things much less important than our attitude towards the breatheren.
