sticky situation

Have you ever been in a situation where you don't want to pick sides but you have a strong opinion on them both. Well that happened to me. Jillian decided that she is going to get married to this guy that looks like a troll. I didn't want to hurt her feelings and tell her that I don't think that he is the right guy for her. But then I don't want to make a sticky situation that can be avoided. If people didn't care then it would be so much easier to help someone out if they didn't take it so personal. I want to be able to help her but I don't know how to tell her. HELP!!!!!

Living Hell

Arent your high school years supposed to be the best years of your life? Well thanks to many of my classmates high school is more like a torture chamber. I consider myself and well rounded person but when i go to school i feel like an outsider that everyone stares at and bashes. I would love to be able to walk into school one day and for once know that I am in an environment that i can learn while enjoying myself instead of knowing that as soon as i walk through the doors eyes will turn and start judging. This may not be a big deal to some but i would love to be able to truthfully tell my children someday that i loved high school and miss it. But at this point in my life I cant wait to be out. Why arent high school years the best years anymore?

Izzy Bear

Izabella is an amazing two year old girl who has fought and beaten cancer. When she was just learning to walk her parents discovered that she refused to put pressure on her legs. They could not figure out why so they took her to the docter and were told that she was just colicky. So they went on with life but the screaming and crying just got worse. They went and got a secong opinion and found out that she had a tumor on her spinal cord. Izzy then had surgery to remove the tumor and began chemo. Her first treatments were extremly hard on her. When you see an inocent two year old girl getting poked with needles everyday and poison put into her body you can not be okay with it. But Izzy is like no other girl, through this all she had a grin on her face and in some way looked forward to going to the hospital. It was her second home. While going through this process they finally discoverd the name for her cancer it is Adrenal Camcer. This is a very rare cancer. Izzy fought through the thick and thin and ended up winning this battle. This past weekend she just turned two! If you do not believe in miracles here is one that happend right before my eyes. This little girl had angels on every side of her and would not give up. If you would like to see and learn more you can go to: www.caringbridge.com and type in izabellabrainerd Thanks!

Sunday September 14th, 2008

Today I woke up and thought it would just be another day. Well don't get me wrong it was but there are bits and pieces that caught me off guard. Like why akward silences... I was talking to an old friend of mine who I had recently got in an agrument with and he said that he had missed me. You want to know my response... silence... thanks! Who says that. I DO! Life can just throw the most random things at you. Akward silence and then to seconds later this amazing guy that cares so much about you and you have no clue why he likes you. I look at life like a map. You have so many options yet you don't always no the right answer. My main rule is go with you gut. It usually doesn't lie to you. I love my life even akward silences!!!

Love??

Love... What comes to mind when you think of the word love. Okay well maybe a male in female gazing into eachothers eyes and having butterflies in their stomachs? Well reality check here! That is not what it means to everyone! The first thought that comes to my mind is a four letter word that says so much but is used in a manner with no meaning. People say this word as if has the meaning of cow poop. Hmmmm. yum... NOT!!! The word love and its meaning should be repsected and really thought about before being used. Love is not just something you play around with. It is way more important than cow poop so treat it that way!
