so you think you can... ba da ba pa pa... i'm lovin' it



so, this christmas i got a wonderful gift from my sister leah... tickets to SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!!! it was supposed to be this monday, but was postponed to tuesday because of the weather. regardless of the day it was so much fun.
it was so good to just be with my mom and leah, the guys went on a boy date; a father son movie night with some other fathers and sons!

here are some pictures from the night. my favorite dances were the mirror with lisa and miles, and the disco with natalie and nico (i think it was nico...)

also, i have never heard so many girls screaming at the same time! it was crazy, but very entertaining!

things you may not know!

so, i did one of those "25 things you may not know about me" things on Facebook, but decided it would be fun to do one on here, with things that i think most people actually wouldn't know!

1. i love bubblebaths. when i take one i fill the tub so full of bubbles, but then i won't get out until i've drowned every single bubble... takes forever.

2. i secretly wish i was a red head, not strawberry blond, but like.... dark rich red, like Adison from Grey's Anatomy.

3. i love reading books out loud, altho it takes a lot longer to read.

4. i love reading to michael at night, he likes it cuz my voice lulls him to sleep, but then periodically i yell "michael!" so he wakes up and keeps listening!

5. i love traveling, but get homesick almost always on the 2nd day, unless i'm with my mom!

6. i like grocery shopping more than shopping for clothes.

7. i'm a sucker for "points", for instance, i prefer shopping at Sobey's over Superstore because i get Club Sobey's Points!

8. if i was rich... i would go to Mongo's grill all the time

9. i'm fascinated by water chesnuts. they crunch in such a unique way!

10. i used to sing when i would wait for the bus, and i would record it on my cell phone, that way when people drove by it would look like i was just talking on the phone.

11. if i watch a show a lot i feel like i know the characters like they are actually my friends.

12. since my jaw surgery i sometimes have dreams where my jaw locks up or falls off.

13. i loved being a maid so i could see how other people live.

14. after it rains, i love to walk thru every puddle, especially when wearing flip flops.

15. i think fake banana flavor is wonderfully delicious. my husband... does not!

16. i used to sneeze up to 15 times in a row, but since my tonsils were removed i only sneeze once or twice, and i kinda miss it.

17. i still have 2 baby teeth and the only reason i kinda like them is because it reminds me of my Poppa (my Grandpa Thomas) cuz he had missing adult teeth too!

18. i really don't like black tea, it makes my throat feel funny.

19. i now officially love country music... never saw that coming.

20. some parts of my heart still hurt from things that were said and done to me by others when Michael and I started dating, and i think they will always hurt.

21. i wish i had freckles.

22. i will never stop missing Jay or wondering what he would be like.

23. i will never define my worth by the job i have and don't know how to handle it when people define my worth by my job. it should be about being happy.

24. i don't think anyone could love their dad more than i love mine.

25. in the winter time i daydream about how many days till i get to go to the cabin again... only a few more months...

his tears looked like mine

i started writing this the other day... i don't think that it's done yet... but i don't know quite how to finish it yet. anyway, here it is:

the sky was pink and creamy
as i walked down the road
the colors swirled together in a way
that made you think it would be sweet if you could sip it

the air smelled fresh and crisp
when i inhaled i felt it fill my body
like a fresh breath of life

and i thought about Lazarus
and how the air would've refilled his lungs
and life would taste sweet again

i thought back to when the sky didn't taste so sweet
to when we felt surrounded by lies
thinking we were forgotten
and that He no longer loves us...

the times we cried and yelled
or hoarsely whispered...
i thought you loved me?

and then... and then, i saw Him weeping
and his tears, they looked like mine.
