A Few Sunny Days

What can I say?

Not very much. All I know, is every once in a while when I find myself down, bummed, or even pissed, that no matter what I have the best friends that back me up. Help me stand, and teach me to fight again.

I don't give them enough credit for all they go through with me. Whether it be listening to me vent, dealing with my heartless-ness, having me bark outside their window. Pretending to be a clingy girl friend, or just putting up with the daily smart ass comments I make. They are always there.

This last weekend I had so many glorious times, and it's even better because it's lovely fall weather out there.

So here are my friends.

Desirae.
Man, this girl has been with me since the beginning. Even though she's married now, she still takes time to be wonderful to me. ( we took a TON of pictures this weekend. )


Then there's Amanda. She's just grand. She hasn't been in my life for the longest, but man has she made a difference for me. She was baptized into the LDS church only days after I started coming to church. She was one of the first friendly people to me. For that I cherish her. ( We also took pictures this weekend)



Then we have Christie. This girl. What can I even say. She has basically become a sister to me. She lives with me, and well, she puts up with the full Shay! Whether it's morning Shay! Studying Shay! Pissed Shay! Or hyper and can't sleep Shay! She deals with it all, and loves me through everything. and I mean EVERYTHING. She is an example of strength and courage. I admire her greatly.



Then I have Katy. Gosh I love this girl. She was not only my roommate when I moved to Salt Lake, but also my saving grace. She helped me adjust to being in a new country, a new state, and a new school. She taught me lessons of living alone, and how to cook cheap, easy, and fast. (Lessons I have loved) We would spend hours walking around the city, and just talking. I love how nothing gets this girl down. She is the happiest person I know!



Last but not least..

Mar Mar (Marlanda) This girl has helped me stay sane (I hope I've done the same for her.) She has watched me fall apart, and not judged when I'm stupid. She is supporting and loving. She's the type of girl who, if she loves you, will sacrifice her own interests to help you. There is nothing better than that. (I'm sorry I don't have many recent pictures)



So just a quick reminder: if your family seems far away, or you feel just a little lonely, count the other blessings God has placed in your life. I like to call them friends.

Whenever you are scared you walk alone, remember, you don't have to. Thank you for being in my life! (Emotional rant done)

Summing it Up Through Songs

As always I like to sum up the year, month by month.. however that post comes the first day of January. Look for it.  Today, I will sum up the biggest part of my 2013 year through music lyrics of songs that I feel have touched me, inspired me, or reminded me.  Enjoy.  I heard the doctor, but what did he say, I knew I was fine about this time yesterday.- Ben Rector, When a Heart Breaks.  If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone, Carry on. - FUN, Carry On. It's time to defy gravity- Wicked, Defying Gravity  It's the way you do the things you do that make me fall in love with you- Rocket to the Moon, Dakota  It's okay not to be okay, sometimes it's hard to follow your heart. Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, just be true to who you are- Jessie J, Who you are. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, what doesn't kill you makes you a fighter- Kelly Clarkson, Stronger You can't carry i...

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person,  However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick,  he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Smashed Windows

10 days ago I was changing locations on my travels through Utah. I packed up my mini cooper with my workout bag (this included 3 pairs of shoes, headphones, 5 pairs of yoga pants, 3 sports bras, 7 tank tops, my shower stuff, and deodorant) then I loaded up my 2 long boards, one being a Land Yatchz and the other my sector 9, finally I put my  Cannon camera bag, (It had my 7D a 50mm 1.4 lens, and a 35-118 1.8 lens in it. Along with a charger 4 batters, camera strap, and all my business cards). I thought to myself, I'm going to run across the street, grab a coffee then load my final bag into my car and take off to Roy. So that's what I did, however when I returned from across the street to my utter horror my window had been smashed, and everything from my car was gone. After I called the cops, and some friends to come and help I turned into a catatonic mess. I literally stood by my window and stared at my car for hours. Finally I decided I looked like a psychopath and therefore ...
