New fish.

Hunter came home with three new fish. Two gold fish, and a Beta. Let's hope he has better luck keeping fish alive than my Roommate does.

This morning I woke up and almost lost my dinner(At that time in the morning I don't know what it is your losing). I felt worse than a wet log in the mud. Maybe that doesn't sound too bad, but I wouldn't like being wet in the mud. I chugged a glass of water and convinced myself to go to sleep.

So, this morning when I woke up again. I got ready quick, and got in the car. We went to Alta. Oh, my, coldness. It was -5 degrees. We went down twice, dad sold our passes and we left. Off to Costco! We ate every taster we could, Mm, mm, good. Thank you Costco for saving the day. Then we headed home. Sierra and I got ready for the day, even though it was a little late.. I Loove getting dressed up! Is that safe to say? While being at college I have been lacking on the getting dressed up department. I value my sleep, and when I can stay asleep for a half hour rather than get up and ready.. Well, I take that option. So I have been wearing tennies, jeans, t-shirts, ponytails, and barely any make up. Yeah, I'll work on that..

Um.. Oh! So Sierra and I were going to go to a stake dance tonight.. Psh! Who does that? I'm not a huge fan. We're still going to stop by, but our plan is to come back soon after and play games, watch movies, eat, and play with the family! :)

(Good news. My Best Friend _____ is engaged.)(I don't know if I can post her name yet. It's very recent and her news to tell.)

Paint 2

I love animals. Sorta.

Exhausted much?

It's a little after four, I have roughly four hours till I go home and sleep.

I'm having a really hard time staying awake. I've almost fallen asleep about three times. I can't fall asleep! That would be terrible.

I watched a movie, then I put in another movie, but worked on finishing three projects I brought. I finished all that I could. Then I put in another movie. Right now, I'm on movie four. So far I've watched Night at the Museum 2(I've tried watching it so many times. I'm having a hard time getting through it.), Wedding Planner, Aladdin, and now Despicable Me.

Proof. I just Leaned up against where I'm sitting and practically fell asleep. I just did it again. Oh heavens.

Grandpa coughs and it startles me back awake. Sometimes I look over, and can't see him breathing, that makes me nervous too.

I always crave sleep. Four hours.

Paint

Night Four.

I'm here again. In Orem, that is. Another sleepless night.

I didn't know if I'd be coming today or not. You see, a blizzard hit today, it was Not fun to drive in. Because the roads were so snowy/icy my aunt wasn't comfortable driving home from sitting with grandpa so I was going to be off the hook. My dad went to pick up my brother and sister from a friends house and ended up calling to say that the roads were okay, as long as you were careful. So, I got into my comfy clothes, packed my lappy, DVD's, snacks, a few projects and was on my way.

Half hour later(normally 10 minutes) I made it to the Rehab center my grandpa is at. My aunt gave me the run down of what's been happening. She left shortly after that. I talked to my grandpa for a minute, it was great. I could understand what he was saying, he gave me a hug and told me he loves me. He does that a lot. He doesn't remember me though.

I got situated and put in a movie. Grandpa was still awake, I told him I wasn't leaving and that he could sleep. He said, "Okay." Then before I could sit down he grabbed my hand and said, "Let me give you a hug in case I don't make it." Gave me a hug, and said I love you again.

What does my grandpa mean "..in case I don't make it." How come he said that?

What about this one?

Morning.

Dear 5:00A.M.,

I haven't seen you in a while. I didn't really plan to see you for a while.. to be honest. I feel like we just don't get along very well. You know? I guess I just don't feel like we connect as well as we used to, I feel we are drifting apart. You make my eyes droop and get all sleepy on me. you make me lose my appetite. You make me feel terrible. You are Ruining my relationship I have with my cozy bed. Maybe some day in the(far) future we'll be better friends. For now.. Let's try and give each other space. Thanks.

Till We Meet Again,

Jerrica Ciel Osmun.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Uah! I'm awake. Don't worry. So far I'm on movie four of six. Yaaa! 13 going on 30, The incredibles, Up, Night at the Museum 1&2, and of course Despicable Me. Good list huh? Ooh, and as you can see I redid a lot of my blog, AND I played around on paint for a bit.. Here are my creations so far.

Night Three?

Hello everyone. This is my third time pulling an all nighter to sitting with my grandpa. It usually goes something like this. Ten o'clock, get to Orem and get comfortable. Midnight, first movie over second started. One-thirty/two, start third movie. Three/four, you guessed it start fourth movie. Five, start fifth movie and fight staying awake. Six, getting a lot more tired. Seven, talk with grandpa a little if he's awake and walk around. Continue to walk around till eight. I find that Usually I'm alright staying up all night, as long as I have movies and stand up and walk around when I get tired. Wowee! Those last two or three hours are quite hard.

I've learned a lot from these few times being here. One, my sleeping/eating schedules are so off. I never know if I'm supposed to be sleeping or awake, and I forget what time of day it is. Before I go to sleep in the morning, or when I wake up, do I eat? My stomach feels like it's eating itself. Maybe it's just the transition. Hopefully.

I think we have a cycle going on here, broken hip, hospital, rehab, pneumonia, hospital, rehab, pneumonia (slightly). Do you agree? In all honesty, I do Not like this cycle. Do you realize what's next in the cycle?? Hospital. I am not okay with that.

My grandpa is so strong. I love him so much. I'm grateful for the time I have to spend with him, even if it's like this.

December 25th Anyone?

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well, I have a few stories to tell.

Christmas Eve, we went skiing. It was So fun!! While Sierra and I were on a lift we discovered this bar over our head, when we pulled it down it was apparent that it was like a seatbelt/safety bar. Like on a roller coaster kind of. Then.. we realized we could hang over the edge of it. While "Hanging around" (hehehe, I'm so punny..), I had a brilliant thought come to mind, "since we can lean over, let's practice our spitting skills!" I told Sierra of my brilliant plan. Well, all I can say is, Third times a charm right? The first time I tried, I ended up spitting all over my pants. The second time, I spit all over my skis. The third time, I hit the snow. After finally hitting the snow, I decided I was done. Sierra is Pro.

Oh, Sierra fell, a lot. I only fell once.

Today is Christmas. As usual we all got up early, well actually, last night we debated on what time we would be opening presents. After about fifteen minutes of kind arguing it was set that we would get up and open presents at 7:37. Sure enough, 7:37 rolled around and I was woken up by my little brother Isaac. Who-Rah. We took pictures, opened presents, it was Great. Might I add, my amazing father gave my mother Just Dance 2 for the Wii. I think that may have been my favorite gift of all.. It's quite entertaining.

At 1:00 I was scheduled to sit with my grandpa until 6:00. We all went over and visited for a little while, then everyone left except for Sierra and I. It was nice to be with him, even though he doesn't remember we're there half the time. I miss how he used to be, but hey, he may end up coming back around and being his old self again. Anyway, Sierra and I watched two movies while he slept most of the time. It was peaceful. After he ate, the CNA's got him back into bed and we left.

Overall, I love the Christmas season. I love spending time with my friends and family. I am so grateful for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the gospel in my life.

I wish you all the best :)

He said, "I still have hope."

Oblivious.

Today my mom and I went shopping. We only went to Seagull Book and Walmart, however, we spent about three hours out and about. I hadn't really given much thought to getting ready this morning, so I was wearing a t-shirt, red dance warm ups, my nice black coat, and a glittery blue head band. Not too attractive. I also was in dire need of a shower. Alright, on with the story. We walked around Walmart for about two hours. We saw lots of odd balls, some creepers, etc. Many colorful people. While waiting in the line to check out, I was staring off into space just thinking about how complicated life can be. My mom looked over at me and said, "You are so oblivious." I responded with, "What?" She then explained how she's been watching guys all throughout our Walmart adventure check me out. Oh my heavens. I had no idea any of that was happening. I mean, I thought I looked like a walking grease ball of death! So, there you have it, I'm oblivious.

Home

There's just something about that word that brings warmth into my heart. Even though my house is not always warm, there's a light that comes from it. I love being home. Actually, scratch that, I love being with my family. Where ever my family is, that is home. We are all so different, yet so alike. While being at college has been very fun, and quite the learning experience, it has also helped me realize how big of a part my family plays in my life. Whenever I come home from classes, I talk to my mom about what happens, now my room mate gets to hear. :) When I get a good grade on an exam, I tell my parents and hang it on the fridge. I still tell them, I call or send a short text, but we have no fridge to hang them on. When I feel bad about something or just want to talk, I hug my little brother or talk to my sister. Now I go on runs, or write. On occasion I will talk to my sister. A lot has changed in my life recently. I love my family more than I ever have before. I don't know where I would be without them.

Merry Christmas!

Now here's a question you can answer for me.. What should I major in? Jessi saw these beauties and said Graphic design. I absolutely Love paint :) Oh by the way.. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Grandpa Osmun

Grandpa Osmun? No, no, no.. It should be Grandpa O. My Grandpa O is amazing. I remember a few years ago my brother Dallin and I went to my grandpa's house for the Sunday morning session of conference. Okay, actually in reality I didn't want to go so I made my brother Dallin come with me. When we got there and settled down in grandpa's comfy chairs, he made us breakfast. When he brought us what he had made, it smelled heavenly. Grandpa had made us his oatmeal concoction. It had, oatmeal, cream of wheat, brown sugar, and bananas in it. It was then that I realized, grandpa needs us. He loves us so much. I never really particularly liked going to his house up until that day. When we sat and watched conference I liked it. I loved the feeling. I loved how excited he was to see us when he opened the door and how he happily made us breakfast just for us. Ever since then I have loved to visit my grandpa. Whether it's having him over at our house for dinner, visiting him while working, or going over after school. I have loved visiting, talking to, and seeing my grandpa. Another thing, My grandpa gives The Number One Best Hugs! I love my grandpa So much.

Story -May 8, 2010

Okay.. I know, I know.. All I've been putting up are poems. However, I just found this one! I guess I wrote it a few months ago, a few meaning a lot. I have a friend who used to encourage me to write poems often. He Loved them. So I would write. Anyway, I think this one came from a little push from my friend asking when he could hear my next poem. I was excited to find it, made a few changes, and here it is!

One day I was walking

Through a sunny park

I heard something whistle

I saw it was a lark

As I went walking

I saw a person there

Sitting on a bench

I couldn't help but stare

I sat beside that bench

And watched him quietly

He didn't seem to notice

That's what it seemed to me

This person was a stranger

A person I did not know

I could see something

I could see this person glow

He sat upon the bench

Reading something deep

I wanted to ask what it was

But I spoke not a peep

His eyes read caringly

He almost seemed concerned

I wanted to know

What it was he learned

I tried to read the title

To reveal what it was

It really shouldn't bother me

But honestly, it does.

His eyes grew very sad

A tear fell from his eye

He stood and gripped the book

I saw that it was mine

As he walked away

I thought what I did see

It made me sad and want to cry

I fell down to my knees

I prayed, and asked the father

Why this man had cried

Then something came to mind

For on the cross he died

That book was only mine

No one else could pay

For the sins that I commit

Except for he that day

But today is a new

I'm trying all the time

To be a better person

And watching for the signs

Today I've made him happy

He's smiling down at me

I feel just like a bird

I'm flying now, I'm free.

Cost -Nov. 29

Love is a loss

It seems it always fails

This walkway that I'm on

This endless count of trails

Sometimes I don't know why

I keep it all inside

Yeah, I say I'm over it

To others, and I, I've lied

Truly to be over it

It will take some time

Picking up the pieces

And matching up each line

During this long process

There will be a toll

Emotions brimming at the top

Tears falling from my soul.

Really?

Does this Really have to happen??

Almost Lover -A Fine Frenzy

Goodbye my almost lover

Goodbye my hopeless dream

I'm trying not to think about you

Why can't you just let me be?

So long my luckless romance

My back is turned on you

Should've known you'd bring me heartache

Almost lovers always do

Number one, New Favorite song.

Today.

Welp.. Today has been an interesting one, That is for sure! I don't know why, but sometimes I feel like I'm sad for no dang reason! Goodness gracious.

First of all, I woke up and got ready in 15 minutes. You know that's a problem when you're Forced to get ready in 15 minutes. Yes, that does mean I slept in. I don't know what it is about sleeping in, it makes you feel so good, but yet I feel like I just Can't wake up for the rest of the day. After my two classes, I met up with Jess and went to Institute. Second reason for an interesting day, Jess had a little bit of a dilemma to clue me in about and discuss. We ended up learning a lot about ourselves and the lesson of course. Lunch came, and left. I went back to my room and did a little homework. Third reason, I went to Jessi's room and we had heart to heart bonding moment, silence and tears included. I love that girl. She will never know how amazing she truly is. Well.. yada yada, What else happened? Op, we went to dinner. That made my tummy feel terrible. Why? Why must I catch what Jessi had just last week?? Oh well, there's a price to pay for having friends I suppose. I took a nap, played on my computer. The end.. I think.

Okay, I realize I'm being pretty vague. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I can't use specifics, or any minor details. A lot of this is tied to emotions, and they aren't my details to share. Just know that there is a lot of talking to be done! Don't you just love a close knit "family"? I do. Most of the time, Ha ha ha. In conclusion, as Yellowcard would say, "Everything is gunna be alright, everything is gunna be alright, everything is gunna be alright. Be Strong. Believe!"

Peace.

JESSI

Jessica Rose Hugo. Also known as Jessi. My best friend. Today is a special day, it is the day we celebrate the birth of Jess. Yep, that's right.. It's her Birthday!! Oh my, where should I even start. Well I suppose I'll first start by saying that Jessi is absolutely wonderful and doesn't like being the center of attention. Kevin, JT, and I have been so worried for this day. However, have no fear, we went ahead and made gifts for her anyway (And we've been planning something to do tonight). So far it's been great, we're all a tad bit sleep deprived, but we're still going on strong! Tonight we're going to possibly make dinner or just do our usual hanging out and homework, whatever the birthday girl wants to do of course. Well, Jessi is so great. She's funny, kind, considerate, thoughtful, gorgeous, and so much more! I'm so grateful I met her. She is my very best friend! I love you Jess!!

I Miss Summer.

I found this in my journal.. I guess I wrote it a while ago, sweet huh?

Summer Loving

Flip flop tans

Sun high up

Cool breeze blowing

Lemon aid in my cup

Windows rolled down

Music on loud

Dancing to the beat

The sky with no cloud

Working all day

Party all night

Getting no sleep

but that's alright

It'll end soon

Quicker than you think

So don't go now

Don't even blink

No-name.

Well, I guess it's one of those days.. The day I really should blog, but have nothing to say. I don't know why. I mean Tons has happened, I've been doing lots of school work, along with thinking. I guess I can say this much, I'm not homesick anymore. Yesterday my friends and I went on a little road trip to my house and back. We did stop in between at my house. My "family" got to meet my Family. It was neat. We got to visit, play with the dog and snake, watch YouTube videos, and more... it was cool to be with my friends and family like that. So, now that that's done, on to bigger and better topics

....Okay, I got nothin. Oh here we go.. What about this.. Sierra. OOH! Didn't that just send chills up your arm? I sure got the chills. This name brings so much warmth and joy into my heart. I love this name, no, I love the person to whom this name belongs. Sierra is 13, and always will be when I think about how old she is (Okay.. So she's really 15 or somethin like that, but I don't like the thought of her growing up). Sierra likes art, bursting out into song with her sisters, hanging out with friends, watching movies, and talking with her sister Jerrica. She is an Amazing artist. Sierra is gorgeous, she doesn't realize it, but she has so much natural beauty it's ridiculously unfair. She has a love for the gospel that shines in her eyes, when you're around her you can feel that she loves the Lord and is working daily to be able to return and be with him again. If you ever need someone to talk to, need a joke, a friend, or even someone to simply say, "hey, why didn't ya eat your toast?" Sierra is Always there. I don't think I will ever be able to thank this girl enough for the impact that she has had in my life. However, I do know that maybe I can do a little bit and be one that she can turn to, talk to, and always know is there. I love this girl with my whole heart. I can't believe how amazing she is. Always remember, I love you S-Chizzle.

The Latest.. On Paint.

Here is picture number one.. Ta da!

Picture number two.

And last but not least, a little bit of hope, in picture number three..

Sudden.

How much can a person handle till they burst? I guess everyone finds out sometime, right? Events lead up to an eruption, and then you have to work it out, be patient, humble yourself, etc. Sometimes I feel like it's necessary to burst in order to grow and mature. Often that causes a domino effect of realizing what needs to be different, what needs to be changed, what needs to be accepted.

I'm still working it out.

Lucky.

I'm not too great at this whole blogging thing. On second thought, maybe lucky isn't the right term to use, more like blessed. I'm am very blessed. Here at college I have so many great opportunities. Many that I wouldn't have been open to if it weren't for three people. Jessi, Kevin, and JT. These three are my family.

Jessi is my best friend. I love her so much! She's so funny and sarcastic, but can be serious and sincere. We're a lot alike. Kevin is like my brother. In fact, we often say we're siblings! Kevin can always make you smile, and brighten your day. He is so spiritually in tune, it's amazing to see the example he sets. JT is so smart and nice, we find out new things about him daily. It's always a good surprise to figure something out.

Whenever we do something it seems to always be homework. Don't get me wrong. I Love doing homework with these guys, they're my comic relief. However, last night was different. We didn't do homework! Weird, huh? I thought so. We didn't know what to do at first, we had never had a free Friday night where we didn't do homework. By the end of the night we had walked to Jamba Juice and back, been asked if we had pot, played on a play set, cops came and told us it was trespassing, walked to the amphitheater, was surprised by a comfortable couple.. awkward*, and watched a movie. Wohoo! What a success, and with absolutely No homework! It was very fun.

I love my family here.

Clear

I look outside
and see the sky
a tear falls down
and I know why.

He sees me now
he's seen my day
he know's I'm tired
but will obey.

He know's my thoughts
and what I feel
but I can't hear
unless I kneel.

I kneel and speak
into his ear
I listen then
and all is clear.

Story Time..

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Errica, she had a good friend named Essi. Errica and Essi decided to spend one day of fall break together. They plotted and planned for weeks in advance. Finally the day came, October 14, they escaped from the evil dungeon of Ggies. They rode away on their friend Van's chariot, as the engine roared the dungeon of Ggies faded into the distance. After many sittings they took a pit stop at WCJ's so Van and Essi could eat, you see Errica is so great that she ate some of Van's potatoes, and some of Essi's beverage, because they could not finish. Errica's friend Udra came and kidnapped Errica and Essi. She ran them off into the mountains where they stopped at a cottage that looked welcoming. Udra left them there, stranded, with nothing to do. Errica and Essi were not at a lose.
Their plan went out like this.. Essi cooked a delicious chicken with many herbs on it. Then Errica drove them both to the Glorious White Castle. They were able to do service there with their friend Handice. After that they went back to the cottage and watched a slide show, in a dark room. Handice went home and Essi and Errica went to sleep.
Well.. after a night they galloped to the horse stalls where Essi went on her adventure to the land of Alifornia. Errica went to the cottage where her prince was waiting to accompany her to Rches to meet her gracious family. She took the first shift of driving the horse.. Then CKay drove the rest of the way. There was a bit of a pit stop a few minutes before getting to the final destination. CKay was distracted and rode the horse, Nigel, into a mound of dirt. The horse going crazy, spun a little, and then landed next to the mound. Errica and Prince CKay were okay. Their horse, however, needed new horse shoes for All Four hooves! Three amazing Ute fans stopped and rode them into town where they were able to fill the shoes with air, they then drove them back and found that they still needed to fill the other two. The amazing ute fans took another trip into town on their noble steed, with Errica and Prince CKay. While in town, Errica used her carrier pigeon and sent a message to he father, the King. The carrier pigeon didn't know the way to her father when sitting by the mound of dirt. The King came and embraced both Errica and CKay. He lectured on how blessed they were, thanked the Ute fans, and trotted off to where their horse was. Aftet getting to the hooves back onto Nigel, they followed the King to where they would be staying.

They first took their adventure to And Une Rch, there was sand everywhere. Later that evening they took a hike to Elicate Rch, it's the one on all of the license plates, they were able to watch the sunset. Night fell, and they all gazed at the stars. It's amazing that no one fell while hiking back. The stars were amazing. The following morning they hiked to the far lands of Andscape Rch, then on to Ouble Oop Rch, and more. Eventually they returned to their humble abode, at the time, for flapjacks. They polished, and left. After making a pit stop at And Une Rch, one last time, they started to go home. Finally they reached the cottage. CKay, and Errica beat everyone.

Errica rushed to throw on her ball gown and hurried off to her friends get together, soon after leaving. CKay went to his cottage, showered and came back. They had a Wonderful night, watching a screen in a dark room, then talking on her porch, and gazing at the stars.

And they all lived Happily Ever After.. For now.. :)

What should I write about?

It's days like this that I feel I shouldn't have a blog. What do I write about? I'm so boring! My life consists of School.. Homework.. Friends.. and ALL of it put together sometimes.. Oh and a tad bit of homesickness. So, here I am trying to think of something to post, and Nothing comes to mind. Is that Ridiculous, I feel it is. I think I'm going to try and make this more regular, then I'll write more, Yeah. I'll try that.

Peace out, Girl scout.

Plop.

Plop as in.. Plop, there goes a scoop of ice cream onto the dirty ground. That, right there, is how I feel.
I'm going to be selfish for two minutes..
Right now..
-I want to go to sleep.
-I want to not study.
-I want to ace my test.
-I want some TLC.
-I want to not have a care in the world.
-I want to break down crying in the arms of my momma.
-I want to go home.
-I want to stop this feeling.
-I feel like using my karate skills.
-I want some time for myself.
-I want to Stop Blogging About My Issues!
-I'm pathetic.

Thank you for your time. The end.

Phone Calls.

When you haven't seen someone in a while, phone calls can do just the thing to fix that longing in your heart. I Loove phone calls.

The Revival

I'm back. I'm going to try reviving my blog. We'll see how it goes. I wasn't too great at it in the first place, but here goes nothing.
Well.. I started college. Yep, I started. It's been a whirlwind of adventure. I like it. Sometimes it's terrifying, I'm not going to lie. Every day I wake up, get ready, run out the door, and school is my focus. It's hard not to focus on what's at home. I'm constantly thinking of home, hugs, home cooking, everything. My solution for the constant thought is school, jump in, two feet, head first. Everything is going okay now that I've tried this new idea. I still catch my mind wandering, but it isn't as much in a sad mood than it is in a happy mood. I'm excited to see my family again, and friends. It'll be a good day, a happy time to give hugs, and visit again. I can do this.

I love this picture.

College

i'm at college. every new minute is a new struggle. a new minute to prove i'm stronger than i thought. to show that i'm more than just a girl who feels alone. i don't cry anymore, i'm strong, better than that. i can do anything.

Wisdom

I was at my aunt and uncles last night working on a gift for one of my friends. We were discussing something very important.. My uncle gave me a very good piece of advice. "Keep It Simple Stupid." And that is all.

White.

Lately, I've seen Lots of white. White clouds, white buildings, white snow, etc. What is white? The dictionary says, "of the color of pure snow, of the margins of this page, etc.; reflecting nearly all the rays of sunlight or a similar light." So this means white is the color of snow, and reflects all the rays of the sun. What does white mean? On a website I found it said that white is the color of purity, it means kindness. It even said that White daisies are a symbol of loyal love. Now that I have informed you of what I've learned, I suppose I should share what I think about the color white. White is cold, It can be stained easily. I also think white is purity, it's the color of temples and weddings. I think white is the color used for angels, it's what reminds me of our savior. White is the color referred to in Isaiah(1:18) when he says, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" The Lord Loves us, and wants us to be with him again! Let's live up to our name, and endure to the end! :)

The Prom.

Prom, prom, prom! Oh the Joys! So... On February 27, I walked into my room after a long dance practice. I found a poster that said, "I would totally POP if you would go to Prom with me!" and probably 150 balloons.
I didn't even know what to say! So, I didn't. I started popping! There were notes in some of the balloons that said, "Not this one", "how are your nerves?".. Etc. Well, as you can imagine, my nerves were going Bazurk! My mom magically found a balloon hidden behind my bed that had a shirt in it. The shirt said..

I was far too impatient to actually wash the shirt, therefore, I ran downstairs and used warm water to get the washable marker out.. guess which name stayed? MCKAY!! Wohooooo!!! I was Super Happy!

I started to Brainstorm ideas of how to answer McKay. My mom and I came up with one. We made a poster that said "You're so Sweet to ask me to Prom.. It'll be a real Treat!" then we made many treats (cupcakes, cookies, brownies, rice crispy treats, muddy buddies), got lots of his favorite candies, and cut out paper M&M's! My good friend Sierra and I drove to Spring City one day. We got lost along the way. (you can't blame us.. they don't have an address!). Finally we reached our destination, decorated his room, and waited. He came home an hour after planned.. but that was totally okay! He saw his room, was surprised and then I went over and said hi. We got to visit for a little bit, and soon after left.


Saturday (March 27) was the big day. McKay picked me up at, Oh I don't even remember what time, sometime around noon. The theme of the date was "A Day Back in Childhood." First We went with another couple (Okay, so Dwight, McKay's friend, didn't have a date yet. His date, Melanie, wasn't back yet from something, but we picked her up afterwards) to Wendy's and ate and made fruit loop necklaces. Then Dwight picked up Melanie. After that we went three legged Miniature Golfing! Oh my So fun!! I highly recommend it. I played really well too! After golfing, we drove to McKay's friends house for dinner. We had waffles with whipped cream, and strawberries. Mm.. mm.. good. McKay dropped me off at 5:30. I curled my hair, and got ready. He came and picked me up at 7. Mom and dad had me walk down the stairs.. Ha ha ha ha! I pinned on the boutonnière and he put on my corsage, we took some pictures, and left. Dwight was in the car, we took him to a Wendy's where his friend picked him up. We went to the Capitol, that's where the dance was. It was Awesome! We took pictures, and then walked around a little bit. When people started coming we went and danced a little. The DJ played some pretty Not good songs, and I didn't really want to participate in those songs. McKay noticed when I could tell it was bad and he'd escort me around the Capitol and we'd just talk. I'm glad he understood why I didn't want to dance to those songs, and agreed with me! Well, the dance ended and we left, they handed out chapstick as everyone was leaving. So wrong and funny at the same time! We were trying to find where Dwight was, and got completely lost. So I ended up getting home pretty late.





He looked so Handsome, and he was my Prince for the night! How Lucky was I?! Well.. It was an Amazing night :)

It's a Monday.

Today I was thinking, I do that quite often, I was thinking about college. I've been accepted to Utah State University, and here I come! I was also thinking about my family. I love them So Much! Utah State is two hours away from them! I know that shouldn't be that big of a deal, but honestly, I am a home body. If I have the chance to hang out with friends or stay home and play with my family, I'd Much rather stay with my family. Being two hours away is going to be a growing experience for sure! However, my family has always been there for me, and always will, I know it! No matter how far away from them I am. I can do this! :)

Mountain

It's high up in the sky,

Up to heavens gate.

It's amazing what we have down here, 

All that he creates.

The beauty that it shows,

You can't get anywhere.

It's so addicting, every piece,

Sometimes I stop and stare.

It can be a home, 

A shelter from the rage. 

You can feel the calm and peace,

And not have to engage.

Serenity and peace,

Are always at that place.

If any problem you need solve,

Come and pray for Grace.

Mountains are a holy place,

Where we are close to him. 

Receiving revelation, 

Filling to the brim.

View

In the world down here,

There seems to be no love.

But I can feel it near,

Perhaps from up above.

He loves us all so much,

And wants us to return.

To sit upon the throne's,

The ones that we have earned.

Someday I will return,

And see my father dear.

He'll look into my eyes,

And say "my child, come here."

He'll take me in his arms, 

And say "I love you so.

Come here and follow me,

There's something I must show."

He showed me all the heavens,

The beauty that surrounds.

Everywhere we went,

All upon the grounds.

He took me to a room,

'Twas beautiful in there.

No words could help describe,

The feelings that we shared.

Inside I saw a chair,

He said it was a throne.

I took a seat right then,

And knew that I was home.

Waves 

Crashing

Full of power

Breaking at the end

Vibrations go on

Never to be found again

Everything about it is moving

It moves everywhere

However it cannot leave

The shining sun

Glistening on top

It shines so fiercely

Yet always a constant

Him

Every time I stand here,

I stand here all amazed.

Thinking of the things he did,

And why he ever came.

 

He came to teach the gospel,

And show us his true light.

Then he died upon the cross,

To give everlasting life.

He is the great example,

In our life today.

He wants us all to follow him,

And Always to Obey.

Hi :)

Hi Everyone! 

  My name is Jerrica. I have officially created a blog, Yay! I'm thinking I'm going to write some of my poems on here! Well, I guess I should start by telling a little bit about myself. I'm a senior in high school, and very excited to graduate. I like to Irish dance, write poetry, draw with side walk chalk, read, make new friends, eat Clementines, go on walks, look at stars and smell the rain. My family is Amazing. I have two wonderful parents, and five fantastic brothers and sisters. My oldest brother is serving a mission in Italy.
