oh and PS happy Valentines day!

Here we GOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I think I am the master of odd food combination's. Yup, the master. I'm eating cheese and drinking hot chocolate.... yeah, it sounds really gross to me too but I opened my fridge and really wanted cheese and then I saw my mug and really wanted hot chocolate so I gave into myself and had both. YAY!

So lets see.... what's new you ask? Couldn't tell ya, sorry. hehe Just kidding I can tell you all sorts of stuff!
I got my cast off about a week and a half ago and my foot is starting to look normal. I'm getting walking down and hopefully I'll be able to start running again sometime soon, I totally miss running and it gets worse every day because I live right by a park with a nice track :( No worries tho, I'm finding ways to stay positive and putting my focus on school and music since I can't do much else.

What else can I tell you about..... oh, I got a new phone and it's smaller than my old one :D I love small phones, they're easy to hide tee hee.

My photography class is really hard but it's pretty fun too, I'm getting some great shots but I'm really annoyed with the professor and her negative attitude about 'point and shoot' cameras. I wanna walk out half of the time because it seems that's all she wants to talk about... that or white balance, sometimes people like the blue or amber tones in their photos, ever think of that!?

OH, I can tell you lots from this week so here goes;
Micah came up and we went to the Gymnastics meet, TONS of fun! Pretty much I just love my brother.
I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with Ky lately because of school but being the girl that I am I was positive it had something to do with me, I mean I offered to buy him dinner and it was like pulling teeth! Weird! So I asked him about it and he said something to the effect of bla bla bla I value our friendship bla bla bla. So needless to say we're friends. So I was getting kinda bumbed about that when the chance to run for ASUU (student government) came up. I took the position and I will be running as an Assembly canidate with the wicked sweet party of Synergy! yay for me!

Cheers!

...foot surgery...

This is the day after my surgery... not bad eh?My cast... it's a lot longer than I thought it would be and it weighs a ton! I almost got it red and black striped but Dr. Rogers said I'd look like a candy cane so we just did black.
Like 30 min after surgery. Yeah they had me pretty drugged lol!
Before surgery watching the Utah vs UNLV game... It was a rerun but I was still enjoying it.
The doctor drew on my foot to explain what he was going to do, the left side got a pie shape taken out and a wire to straighten the bone the right side got two screws and some bone taken out to straighten my toe and the bone. The extra bumps on each side were also removed if I understand correctly. The lines also represent the incision lines, Dr. Rogers said you shouldn't even see the incision lines once it's healed tho so we'll see when the cast comes off in four or five weeks.
Surgery prep. The nurse was pretty cool and gave me red bandages to match my school colors haha!

Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!
I am loving every minute of this day and wanted to share with you the view from my window, no more dreaming of a white Christmas... it's here!

Why I am who I am.

If someone asked me why I believed what I do I would be happy to tell them:

Shortly before I turned two a very special person came into my life. Nathan Scott Baird was born, he had severe heart problems and in fact wasn't given more than two months to live. Throughout his life he went through more things then I can even begin to imagine, he was closer to God than I can ever hope to be. He always said thank you to the doctors and nurses that gave him shots or ran tests, through tears even. I can't remember a day that he wasn't smiling even when confined at home due to sickness. There wasn't a life that came in contact with him that he didn't touch. Nathan always loved fire trucks and had always dreamed of being a fireman, one day he got his chance. Some friends had decided to take him to a station and had worked out a tour and the opportunity to sit in the trucks and look around, when they got to the station it was discovered that they had gone to the wrong one and they knew nothing about the tour or the little boy standing in the reception area but a fireman decided he needed to show him around anyways. Not much longer after that the station had an old helmet restored and painted with Captain Nathan and designated truck #3 to be his truck. I can't remember how many times we got to go see the trucks and you can bet that Nathan knew all the sirens and he had his favorites too.

Nathan lived to see his seventh birthday on November 15, 1998 and only 25 days later on December 10 he passed away at home with family by his side. His last request had been to see a dear friend, he was seven and already thinking of others. Shortly before becoming sick and prior to his death he had taken the time to explain to his classmates that death wasn't the end, he would be ok, he'd get a good heart and he'd never be sick again. Only a few short weeks later his classmates would be able to comfort their teacher and in turn my family and me. He was treated as an honorary fireman and the streets were lined with police and the trucks draped in black, with sirens and lights we made our way to his resting place.

Nathan taught me so much about life, love, happyness, faith and God. I have been given a wonderful life with people that love me more than I know. Happyness is what you make it, a smile can change someone's life. And I have faith in a loving Heavenly Father that didn't take a little boy from this earth but gave this earth a little boy for seven years and twenty five days and allowed him to touch lives for a lifetime. I believe that this loving Father has a plan for each one of us and wants us home with him when our time is through. I know that should I follow his plan for me I will get to be with Nathan again, I will have my family around me for eternity.
The Christmas season may always be hard but my faith in God alows me to stand strong and my guardian angel gives me a reason to smile.
Merry Christmas!
