Tribute to my Mother
Well, at this point I'm pretty sure that the few blog fans I had aquired have now lost all faith in me. No worries, I am not bitter, nor do I even judge.. but for any the valliant few that still believe in me and want to take a peek, I would like to share a bit about my mother.
First off:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!
Yes, today is her birthday, and one of which I am not able be home to celebrate; so in my homesickness I wanted to share my excitement for her and a little bit of why she is such a treasure to me.
most importantly, she is my best friend, and a very Christlike friend, always speaking peace to my soul, drying my tears, teaching me, helping me, encouraging me, and supporting me. Also loving me for who I was and could be, and allowing and encouraging my creativity, thoughts, and opinions. Besides the love of the Lord and Jesus Christ that I have felt in my life, It is my mother's love that has made the greatest impact on my life and formed me into the person I am today. I was an incredibly demanding and difficult child.. (for which I'm often reminded) however; whether I was a brat of not, my mom filled my emotional needs. And having that stability carry into these young adult years has allowed me to have an abundance of joy and success.
Today is her birthday, and I am grateful for the opportunity to appreciate and celebrate.. there have been many hard years that magnify the good ones.. She has endured (and im sure there were times while raising me that she thought she might just not make it) and overcome and become wiser and stronger, and ALWAYS has made time to be my best friend along the journey. She has greatly and truely enriched my life and continues to do so.
In honor of this fabulous woman, I have attemped poetry.. such are the results of poor college students to give a tender gift the their accomplish and more financially stable parents.. this is something you definately cannot buy, and pending on the reader, could be esteemed as priceless.

Hey World, It's ME!
Well hello there my future fans. I have finally joined the world of blogging, yes I know there is much to be celebrated, at least on the part of my mother, known more commonly in the blogging world as, "lisalou"- yes i am hers, Isn't she fabulous? and even better, she is one of my very best friends :) (love u mom- since you r currently my only blogging fan.. for now of coarse).
well hmm, how to sum "me" up when time is so against me. I am 19 years old and getting into the thick of young adult life with all of its quirk, excitement, and reality checks. I all that is social and decent, #1 being the LDS church I love it! and have not fund anything that can compare with the joy and sense of pupose that it has given me, it teaches me to be better, that I am loved, but that it is not all about me (I know mom- see im commin around).
One of the more recent things i have learned on my lifes little journey is that, to help someone isnt to change them or fix their problems and acclaim yourself as hero, but rather to love, walk beside and enjoy them for who they are, especially to you. It's the Lords job to change, teach, and take away problem and it si a rat race to try and fill his shoes. Talk about setting up for failure lol, "a faceplant in the mud" should come as a disclaimer.. well maybe most people see that, just another one of those memos that i missed, oh well.
Well life is wonderful, mine is currently filled with Family, adopted family, and great friends.
Its definately busier than I ever could have imagined possible, the kick is they tell u it just speeds up from here, and let me tell you im feeling out of shape for this race. Christmas is arround the corner and i am soon to be home-- ill be sure to keep you posted :)-
