Remembering the lesson that when Momma Ain't Happy Nobody Happy... Priceless

I Simply Fell Out of Love...

with blogging.

Just as when any relationship falters it's hard to pinpoint exactly

when the dissolution began.

It was a sad, lonely, sorrowful time.

Ignoring my blog but oh so faithfully looking at others.

Just as when any relationship falters you find joy in another.

Soon I will find joy in my blog...

If My Life Were A Movie....

This last week has been so super crazy and to be honest I am tired of explaining everything. I figured those who matter read the blog and they will be able to sense my comic relief in what I am about to post! As the events have unfolded I have decided that I should make a movie. And if I were to make a movie who would play in it. Well I have found my cast! Of course some would have to change there hair but for the most part I think I did a pretty good job in my casting!

Joanna*- Scarlett Johansen (main character) The girl in love with two boys well really one boy and another a grown man. While she has deep and sincere feelings for both she just can't seem to make up her mind. She almost married Cal and really they are still engaged but she still deep down loves her high school boyfriend Kole. Oh and we must not forget Cal and Joanna have a baby together the cutest little one named Brylee. (side note the baby who would play "Brylee" would have to be Viviene Jolie-Pitt)

Cal*- Harry Connick JR (Grown Man) Cal a bull-fighter on the PRCA rodeo circuit feel in love in with Joanna the first time he saw her deep green eyes. Despite the 16 year age gap between them Cal wants to make it work. He ask Joanna to marry him the day after Christmas. He is so excited for there life together to really start. He is willing to stand by Joanna because he knows that her love for him is real and she has put closure to her and Kole.

Kole*- Liam Hemsworth (the boy)- Lets face it Kole is the lovable return missionary who you want to win but also know he deserves so much more. Not meant to be put in a bad way but take it how you want it. He too has loved Joanna since the moment he saw her deep green eyes. They had such an amazing time while they were in high school between dances and going home to Joanna's house with friends for the sausage and biscuit lunch that Carly (Joanna's Mom) had made them. He had dreams for the two of them once he got home but has come to realize that sometimes dreams fade and it's time for new ones to come about.

Carly- Kristen Alfonso (Joanna's Mom) She loves her daughter but is really getting tired of the all the drama, chasing cans, and being the rodeo babysitting grandma


Dane- Kevin Costner (Joanna's Dad) Dane has dreams for all of his children but Joanna's dream and his dream are one in the same and that is making it to the NFR. While he supports his daughter he doesn't always like her choices.

Jolie*- Lindsay Hartley (Joanna's older sister and writer of the movie) Jolie is the one in the family who is the most outspoken and sick and tired of all the drama...

*All names have been changed to protect the writer of this post!

Note of protection for the author of this post.... I really do love my sister... I will and do support her and all her drama but in all honestly I wish she would just freaking make her mind and stop with the it's not me it's everyone else.

It's Time...

I know I know... I haven't been the greatest blogger but I promise it is a new years resolution! In order for me to be a better blogger I have decided to go private! I will do this starting MONDAY JANUARY 11th, 2010! So if you want to keep viewing leave an e-mail and I will invite you! Well maybe.... :)

Families are Forever

You know when you go away to your first year of college you have no idea what to expect! Hundreds of ideas are running through your mind... did I take the right classes... did I buy the right things... can I really do this... but most importantly my ROOMMATES will I like them? Lucky for me I got put with four of the greatest ladies in this whole world! We had so much fun with each other as you can see by this picture and it is only one of many! Of course living with four other people that you don't know can have it's fair share of arguments but we knew how to work them out! What I love most about these ladies is even though it has been six years since we lived together we are still there for one another which brings to me to the reason for this post.
This is Mia even though I was a slacker and never got around to go and actually meet her my heart still breaks for her family. Brooke one of my roommates who is to the right of me in the above picture is her sweet little mommy! Mia passed away on Saturday night unexpectedly she really was too perfect for this crazy world we live in. Even though I know that Mia is with her Heavenly Father my heart is still sad for my dear friend Brooke her husband Adam and her sweet little boy Jake. If you would like to read the full story in Brooke's own words go to my family and friends link and click on The Brandt Clan. Here is a poem I found that someone had left on there blog I thought it was a perfect finish to this post!

Jesus is she with you? I wonder every day, I sit and wonder why she's gone and why she could not stay. Every Part of me is empty I feel I can't go on but then I look to heaven and hear this beautiful song "Mommy I am with Him He holds me in his arms Whenever I am with him he keeps me safe and warm He Says you shouldn't worry I am safe and loved right here with all the other baby angels that passed within the years we have a special Place up here He thought that you should know Where the Blessed mother takes your place for now until you show." When I hear this precious little voice from the heaven above I know that all the angels Are showering her with love. For everyone that wants to hear their babies voice so innocent and sweet just close your eyes and begin to pray and embrace them in your sleep-Angela Gibson-
