Shout Out!

So this post is all about my sister.

Cali.

Tomorrow she will be running a marathon. Her first marathon. EVER.

That is a big deal folks! I mean how many of you can say that you have run over 26 miles.

Well Cali will be running 26.2 miles and she will be rocking it every step of the way.
Keep her in your prayers that she will be able to do it. I have total confidence in her.

YOU ROCK CALI!

(it was really cute, she dedicated each mile to someone who has helped her some time in her life and then asked that person to give her a couple songs so when she hears the song she will think of that person)

So this was the song I picked for her and I really think it fits perfectly. :)

Prodigy

Have you heard of these girls???
If you haven't, I now give you permission to stick your head in a bucket of water for being CRAZY!

They are so amazing.

I think they are 14 and 10, but they started singing when they were SUPER young.

They do covers of songs and sing fun songs just because they want to.... AAAAAND because they are brilliant.

Here is one of my favorites.

But in order to fully appreciate their talent, listen to the original version by Robyn.
Not so good.....

Here is another video to help you recover from Robyn's weirdness.

YAY. all better ;)

Let it be me.

"There may come a time
A time in everyone’s life
Where nothing seems to go your way
Where nothing seems to turn out right

There may come a time
You just can't seem to find your way
For every door you walk on to
Seems like they get slammed in your face

That’s when you need someone
Someone that you can call
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you can't go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me

Feels like your always comin’ on home
Pockets full of nothin’ and you got no cash
No matter where you turn, you ain’t got no place to stand
Reach out for something and they slap your hand

Now I remember all too well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like you’d give anything
For just a little place you can call your own

That’s when you need someone
Someone that you can call
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you can't go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me

Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me"

Let GO
Let EVERYTHING just be.
Let.
It. 
Be. 
Me.

thanks Ray LaMontagne.... again.

LOVE

Please watch this.

Not only is this kid super awesome, but everything he said is right.

One about them

This is Taylor Kathryn Byers

She is one of my roommates.  She has beautiful blonde hair and a style that cannot compare.  She has a HUGE heart and loves her family so much. Her beauty radiates from her entire being.  I love this girl and she is a strong example to me of what a caring and kind person should be.

This is Camille Williams

This girl is one of my roommates. Camille is the first person I met out of all my roommates and we weren't even roommates yet!! Her sense of adventure and fearlessness pushes me to go outside my comfort zone.  She listens and helps with situations that I don't even understand myself.  I love this girl and she is a strong example to me of what an strong and empathetic person should be.

This is Rachel Eggett

She is one of my roommates.  She is gorgeous.  I mean c'mon, look at that smile!!! Rachel is vibrant and colorful (personality-wise).  She laughs and loves. She sings loudly because she loves to (and she is really good).  Rachel is a shining example to me of what an optimistic person should be.

This is Kendra Smith.

Kendra is my room(room)mate. She is so SMART! She is ambitious and driven and desires a bright future.  She can dance like no one else. She laughs with such heart, that you can't help but laugh with her. Kendra gives with no second thought. She is brilliant and she is an example to me of a work hard and have fun ethical person should be.

This is Bronte Hopkins.

This is Bronte and she is one of my roommates. As you can tell, her fire red hair gives her so much beauty.  Bronte is a fighter.  She fights through the expectations and hard trials of her dance requirements and comes out on top because of her hard work and dedication.  She speaks wise words whenever we are at church.  Her comments bring deep insight and the spirit.  She is a true example of what a kind and dedicated person should be.

I love all these girls. Without them, I would not be the person I am right now.  We have gone through experiences with one another that have shaped us all.  I know that I was meant to be put with these women for a reason. They have been there for me when I needed it and I thank them in any way I can.
