my new obsession.
Mine by Taylor Swift
Uh, uh, uh oh
Uh, uh, uh oh
You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin'
Wonderin' why we bothered with love if it never lasts
I say "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes I can see it now
Do you remember we were sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we've got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take yes, yes
This is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Uh, uh, uh, oh
And I remember that fight 2:30 AM
Cause everything was slippin' right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said "I'll never leave you alone"
You said
"I remember how we felt sittin' by the water
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"
(Hold on, we'll make it last)
(Hold on, never turn back)
(Hold on) You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
(Hold on) You are the best thing that's ever been mine
(Hold on) Do you believe it?
(Hold on) We're gonna make it now
(Hold on) And I can see it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I can see it now
Uh, uh, uh oh
Uh, uh, uh oh

i see the good in you, even when everyone else doesn't.
once upon a time, there was a girl who fell for a boy...i wish things were that simple.
have you ever fell for someone you really shouldn't fall for? the fact that every person I come in contact with tells me, "he's a bad kid, don't pursue him"....to late, doesnt help at all. Rumor is that he used to do drugs and drink, another rumor says that's a rumor. I dont know what to believe...i just keep backing him up that he's a good kid and people are just making this stuff up. the problem is, he's a genuinely nice guy, you would never suspect anything.
see, when i fall for someone, i fall hard.
supposively he doesnt do anything anymore, and im not one to dwell on the past, as long as youve delt with it and havent left that situation wide open. so, despite what everyone tells me, im gonna continue to build a friendship with him. kids like that need someone to be a positive influence. im not saying at all that i want to change him, thanks to A Walk to Remember, girls got the idea that they can change bad boys...wrong. but i do want him to know that i like him and see the best in him, and hopefully he'll then see it in himself.

Forgiven
Forgiven by Sanctus Real
Well the past is playing with my head
And failure knocks me down again
I’m reminded of the wrong
That I have said and done
And that devil just wont let me forget
In this life
I know what I’ve been
But here in your arms
I know what I am
[chorus]
I’m forgiven
I’m forgiven
And I don’t have to carry
The weight of who I’ve been
Cause I’m forgiven
My mistakes are running through my mind
And I’ll relive my days, in the middle of the night
When I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride
Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry
In this life
I know what I’ve been
But here in your arms
I know what I am
[back to chorus]
When I don't fit in and I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ ‘cause
[back to chorus]

5 DAYS!
Five days from now I'll be in the beautiful city of Naperville, Illlinois. I am super excited to go visit the city and all of my family. While I'm in Naperville, I'll be at my cousins house. Then after a couple of days in the 'burbs, I'll head up to my grandparents farm in the RURAL city of Gridley, Illinois. Just a quiet farm town tucked away in the midwest. I love spending time there, it brings out the small town country girl in me(:
wow. i cant believe my summer is halfway over. it seems like it just started. im not ready to deal with teachers, kids, drama, and everyhting else school related. i only have a month and like 10 days left...only 3 more years til college!
the only good thing about school starting is the many adventures coming up in the fall. for example: my cousins' wedding, college road trip, and birthday cruise!
FIRST of, my cousins' wedding. In september, my cousin Nick is getting married in Kentucky. at first my parents didnt want to go but it turns out i have half days at school on thursday and friday so i get to miss school! yay! i love weddings, the last time I was at a wedding i was like 10 so i didnt really understand.
NEXT, college road trip. Sometime in the fall, my friend Amanda and I are going to Auburn University for a college tour. Amandas going to be a junios next year and she is starting to look at colleges, so since were both interested in Auburn, shes taking me along.
LAST, birthday cruise! ok i am super excited for my birthday this year. since ill be turning 16, my mom told me i could either have a Sweet Sixteen or take a trip somewhere. even though i love planning parties, i almost felt like taking a trip somewhere would be alot more fun and it saves alot of money. i'll still have a little get-together with my friends but nothing big. at first i had my heart set on nyc but my moms friend suggested a cruise after i spent 10 minutes taking about how i want to go to the bahamas. so i thought about it and i am sold. so january 13th i board the Carnival Sensation en route to the BAHAMAS(: (although, the last time i went on a cruise i was 5 or 6, so im kinda nervous. big boat, deep water, yeah i dont want another titanic moment on my cruise) I am superrrrr eccstatic!

thoughts
So as I sit here watching The Bachelorette on television, I really begin to understand the meaning of the word..needy. Needy for love, needy for a partner, needy for a relationship. I almost find it kind of funny that guys can get like that. I know it has always been said that women are the needy ones but watching these MEN compete for a woman's heart like this is crazy!
Last week I was at my church's camp and one night the speaker talked about what men/women want from themselves. He said men want to feel strong and that they're good enough, like those alpha males on movies. Women on the other hand, want to be loved, want to feel wanted...aka needy. Now hearing somebody else tell me this I realized how true it is. Most everything a girl does is to either draw attention to themselves or feel important and loved. God created humans to have that need for love. Now that's exactly why we have reality tv shows where people are competing for love. They have to fill that need somewhere.
I think one of the best parts about being a Christian is that, even when we can't find earthly love, we have our Fathers neverending love! Christ fills and overflows our need for love. Think about it, I am always complaining about whether the guy I like doesn't like me back, or someone likes me and I'm not too interested...but we have a Father who we can always look to and no matter what we have done, will always love us! That almost just gives me chills that God loves us THAt much!(:
