Christmas must be something more

In the song "Christmas must be something more" sang by Taylor Swift she sings, "what if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing?" Well through out the whole song she sings about how Christmas is not something that should be celebrated for just the gifts. It's meant to celebrate Jesus Christ. And not only that but to be spending time with your family. Well it got me thinking. What if ribbons and bows really didn't mean a thing? What if presents all went away? Well then we would really be able to understand the true meaning of christmas. I'm not saying to take presents away. But we all worry so much about jobs and money and presents. We really need to take to appreciate the real meaning of christmas.

But another thing i really truely love about christmas is all the family tradition. From the caroling around the neighboorhood on christmas eve night, to the movie on christmas eve day. The video we get to watch at the end of the year to see how much we all have grown. The huge feast on christmas day. The pj's from christmas eve. I just love it all. I can't wait for christmas:)
Goal of the day: talk to someone new

Life... as we know it

This week....for me, has been very hard. About a year and a half ago, we lost our beloved Grammy to cancer. This saturday being her birthday, i have been thinking a lot about her. Watching movies with our family pictures on it really brings her back into my life. And it helps me rember how wonderful she really was and how much she helped me with everything. Now sitting here, with each tear rolling down my cheek, i think about her, and just how important my family really is to me. Ever since my grammy died we have kind of drifted, and i know that it was bound to happen.....because she really was the one who held us together. But we really need to pull through as a family. Because nothing can pull a family apart more than death, and take it from someone who knows. It hurts...... it hurts a lot. In this life we really have to consider what love is. Its not just a word you can throw around, it is something that means more than anything in this whole entire world. With out love nothing would be beautiful. Nothing would have meaning. Nothing would be the same. And when you really, truley realize how much you love someone and their gone, its really hard. Dont ever let a moment pass by where you dont tell, your parents, your grandparents, your sibblings, your spouse, and even your friends that you love them. Because one day.... you might just loose them. And then you have to make it through the rest of your life, hoping that maybe, just maybe you said "I love you" to that one person. And pray that they know it. As im sitting here thinking about how i had the chance to say i love you to her, and really wishing i had taken it. But then knowing if i had, i would have seen her like that forever in my mind and knowing that i could never see her like that. So for now.... let all your family know how much you really love them, write in down in a letter, a call on the phone, send a message, just anything so they know how much you really love them.

One year down... :/

Well it has been exactly a year since my grammy has died. We went down to her grave today and as we cleaned off her stone i knew she was looking down at us, and i know for a fact she is pretty dang proud! She is my hero, i really love her so much. I know that because of the plan of salvation i can be with her again and im so very thankful for that! And as i am sitting here balling my eyes out it really makes me think of what a wonderfuly life she really did live and how she NEVER once told us she was in pain, and how lucky i am to have her as a wonderful grammy! I love you grammy and i know that some day i will be with you again!

"You give me a kiss, you give me a hug, you smile when you see me too. I wish every child in the whole wide world had a grammy just like you! You read me a book, you sing me a song, you smile when you see me to. I wish every child in the whole wide world had a grammy just like you! I'll try to be good, i'll do as i should, i'll whisper i love you to. i wish every chilr in the whole wide world had a grammy just like you!"
