ditto.

sixteen days and counting.

love like crazy.

sometimes Meigen and Cody go crazy and break a pot with a cactus in it that used to live on our porch.
so I decide we should plant it by the chocolate river.
and we do.
(Ethan also smiles when he is not in pictures but people say, "SMILE!")


sometimes I meet a giant boy.
who is a 6'5" huge football player who has the most interesting life story.
and of course speaks fluent french.
but might be too skeezy..or maybe I was just spoiled.


sometimes boys come into my room and ask my roommate if they can make her bed with no shirts on.
because of course they lost a beat.
sometimes they also take out our trash, which is nice.


sometimes I go to mexico for a day to celebrate Dia de los Muertos.
and eat delicious authentic mexican food.


sometimes my two favorite tempe girls come to visit the little town of thatcher for halloween and homecoming!
and we have soooo much fun.


sometimes when my best friends are all in thatcher we go to watch fireworks, polynesian dancers, and a huge bonfire.



sometimes we go to the EAC homecoming game.
and only last til halftime.
and we only last that long because they gave us free candy and pompoms.


sometimes on halloween our apartments have a huge block party.
we dress up and get our groove on.


sometimes we go to the middle of nowhere with Ashli and Josh.
where boys make us hot chocolate, light a fire, tell us scary stories, show us a scary movie and bring us home at 4am.

It is completely crazy what can happen and who you meet in a simple small town.

every single day Thatcher surprises me more and more.

I heard this song on the radio while writing this..

now I can't find it anywhere but the chorus goes like this..

"tell the truth

and over use i love you

go to work

do your best

dont out smart your common sense

never let your prayin knees get lazy

and love like crazy"

only in thacher..

would the whole school shut down for the FAIR.
yes, you heard me right WE DIDN'T HAVE SCHOOL YESTERDAY BECAUSE THERE WAS A FAIR!
So obviously that left us with only one thing to do...GO TO THE FAIR!!

THE GRAMHAM COUNTY FAIR!

and of course first place sunflowers and first place HAY!

A happy pig:] and first place apple pie!

apartment.

So this is the video I have been promising my lovely sister for some time now.

And this is a some what confusing view of my apartment..

je crois que..

je t'aime pour toujours.

rein n'a changé, mais rien n'est le même.

je pense que ce sera toujours le même avec toi.

je suis tombé amoureux de toi en France.

et tu est les meilleurs j'avais jamais.

je penserai toujours à toi comme les miens.

mais qui sait où notre histoire nous prendra.

til the river runs dry.

"You know a dream is like a river
Ever changing as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores."

"I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination if I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry"

"There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all."
