Ya know, Sometimes life just ain't Normal...

Connection

2012-02-10T19:13:00.001-08:00

Sometimes, when you like someone, you find yourself sneaking little glimpses of them. You go back to whatever you were doing, but then you look back at them. And you look up to find their eyes fixed on you. And in that moment, time freezes. You realize that this person really could like you back. It could become more. Then the moment melts, and you return to the real world. But since then, you have those moments more and more often. And those moments become a confirmation. A confirmation of your love. No words are needed. If a picture says a thousand words, then how many words are in this moment?

He, You, and I

You need to know
You need to know
That I love you
I have loved you
Your every breath
Your laughter
Your voice
Words of gold and words of comfort
You make me feel
Feel for you
I have died every day
Waiting for you
All alone I beleived
That time would find you
Every look
Every smile
Every peek
Each little while
Every touch
Electrified
Holding hands
Our fingers entwine
So much laughter
So many memories
Happy thoughts
Run through my head
Thoughts of you
So noble
So kind
Funny
My Knight in shining armor
To save me
From the dragon in his heart
You hold me close
Wipe away my singed tears
Along with the memories of him
Wipe them away
With the horrors of the past
When I'm with you
They are no more
So stay close
Close to me
Close to my heart
Your heart of gold
Healing my charred heart
The apple of our love
I take a sweet bite
And feel the butterflies flutter down my throat
Laughter bubbles forth
I feel like I am flying
Flying through your heart
When I'm with you
Wield your sword
And hold me in your arms
Forever.

iLove

Juhannus (English: Midsummer's Night Eve)

2011-07-08T16:20:00.000-07:00

Me, Dad and Eva. I'm the one looking sullen in the back.....

Baby likes odooles! Rebekah with her festive flowers.

PULLA!!!! Soooooooo Goooood.....

All the kids are upstairs and watching the movie version of a Midsummer's Night Dream.

Beer, Dancing, Singing, seduction (well, not really), people singing with ukeleles....there is EVERYTHING at this party!! I LOVE IT! Wow that was really fin to go to! The Midsummer's night eve party is a Finnish Tradition, where they eat amazing food, have bonfires, drink beer (Mormon version: Odoole's), and roll around naked in fields............looong story. Okay, so I found a little bit of information on Juhannus on the internet: Before 1316, the summer solstice was called Ukon juhla, after the Finnish god Ukko. In Karelian tradition, many bonfires were burned side by side, the biggest of which was called Ukko-kokko (the "bonfire of Ukko"). After the celebrations were Christianized, the holiday became known as juhannus after John the Baptist (Finnish: Johannes Kastaja).

Since 1955, the holiday has always been on a Saturday (between June 20 and June 26). Many of the celebrations of midsummer take place on midsummer eve, when many workplaces are closed and shops must close their doors at noon.

In the Finnish midsummer celebration, bonfires (kokko) are very common and are burnt at lakesides and by the sea. Often two young birch trees (koivu) are placed on either side of the front door to welcome visitors. Swedish-speaking Finns often celebrate by erecting a midsummer or maypole (Swedish midsommarstång, majstång).

In folk magic, midsummer was a very potent night and the time for many small rituals, mostly for young maidens seeking suitors and fertility. (This is where those traditions come from. Like, the one that I told about earlier where you had to roll around naked in a feild Midsummer night. Yeaaaa. If you do that you were told that you would meet your future husband that night.)Will o wisps were believed to be seen at midsummer night, particularly to finders of the mythical "fern in bloom" and possessors of the "fern seed", marking a treasure. An important feature of the midsummer in Finland is the white night and the midnight sun. Because of Finland's location spanning around the Arctic Circle the nights near the midsummer day are short or non-existent. This gives a great contrast to the darkness of the winter time. The weather varies between years, the highest temperature is on average about 20°C (Southern Finland).

Many music festivals of all sizes are organized on the Midsummer weekend. It is also common to start summer holidays on Midsummer day. For many families the Midsummer is the time when they move to the countryside to their summer cottage by the sea or lake.

Well, that was midsummer for you in a nutshell. Dancing, Drinking, partying, amazing food, singing, bonfires, rolling around naked. Yup......REALLY.

Ok

2011-01-20T12:58:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I'm in latin class, and right now I'm listening to Jeff and Abby talk about all of the Romans nakedness. "Naked. Naked. Naked. Oohhh.." yeah. they are all pervs. I still love them though. Yeah. Just a little akward. So, anyway, Sariah, Mariah, Nikenzie, Justin, whoever reads this, let everybody know. Because no one knows. Like, at all. Oh, by the way, I write just about every akward thing that has ever happened to me on here, and might not be appropriate for some of your tender little ears. And for guys. It's a little akward when guys read my blog. Especially my dad. Ouch. Now Jeff and Abby are talking about the movie "The Rescuers". Talk about Random. Jeff is a little bit hot though. He's on the football team. Not, like, HOT, hot, but just kinda hot. Oh yeah. Now they are talking about sex and pregnancy. Ok, all I can say to that is that I REALLY hope they don't start French-kissing and stick their tongues all over the place any time now. My Latin teacher keeps making rounds and it's really annoying. OK, talk about random. Sorry, I'm just kind of blabbing right now. The girl named Margo next to me has her grades up and she has STRAIGHT A's. Oh. My. Gosh. I really need to get straight a's, because My parents will pay me if I do. I'm saving up to buy mew ballroom shoes and they are about $120. Wow. I wonder if prada makes ballroom shoes. Gotta go. Bell's gonna ring.

OH. MY. GOSH.

Peaceful

2010-04-18T17:47:00.000-07:00

Today i feel really peaceful. Like anything could happen, but it would be okay. Maybe it's because I only got 4 hours of sleep last night, but I don't think so. Anything can happen if it is God's will.

SCARY(sad) Story

2008-10-26T19:23:00.000-07:00

So, at school a while ago, Miss Utah came and told us a scary,sad story about drugs. A girl she knew decided to drop out of school one day with her two best friends and boyfriend and try alcohol. So, one of them knew they had some in their fridge , so, they went to that persons house and took a sip each. Then, they didn't want to get into trouble so they got into the car and started to drive. there was a stoplight, but, when the person driving tried to hit the brake, they hit the gas petal. Now, at the end of the interception there was a brick wall. When they hit the gas petal, they zoomed forward and smashed into the wall. The girl got out then, watched her car start on fire. she watched as her two best friends and her boyfriend scream and burn to death as her car blew up. Uncle D this is for you. NEVER TAKE DRUGS IF YOU ARE ALSO READING THIS NOW! Write a comment. I want to hear your stories about these if you have any!!

I am Discouraged!

2008-07-22T17:51:00.000-07:00

Today I am very discouraged, 'cause, I am not feeling well, and part of that is because, we have NO AIR CONDITIONING! That is very bad, and it's even worse, 'cause, it has been broken 6 times this year! I am totally not kidding you! I just saw Freaky Friday and it is very fun! Tomorrow, we are going camping with our cousins to Fish Lake! I hope we will have fun!

COUSINS!

2008-07-03T09:24:00.000-07:00

Today my cousins slept over in our tent-trailer in our front yard, and when I woke up, they were all going to ride my Aunt Beth's horse, and I'm VERY allergic to horses.:( That is all I have today!
