"i look outside. its gray and cold. but my heart is warm and full of hope!
as i watch the snow blow by, like kids in a high school hallway, it makes me want to join in and see what the craziness is all about!
the winds are screaming now. but the voice in my head is a soft whisper!
as i work at the kitchen table i hear the crows cackling at each other in madness, it makes me wonder what they are fighting about!
the trees are still bare. but i am covered and warm with my heavy coat on!
as the buds begin to blossom so do i, i'm just as anxious to see the beautiful flowers and leaves along with the many people i'll soon come to meet!
its a crescent moon. my new life is just beginning!
as i open my eyes to a brand new day, i wonder why God put me here....what he wants me to do and say!
now, i look back on my life so far. my rainbow of a life isn't over yet!"

ready...set...ACTION!!
Wow!...when i first woke up this morning it was...fine. there was no snow....then i walked outside and down the hallway to see my brother on his computer! I walked back into my room thinking that i just didnt wake up all the way yet....then i walked back out and he was still sitting there at his desk!! haha i thought to my self as i was walking down the stairs "is it Saturday?!?" haha!
my mom came down at this time and said "good morning!" I asked her "is this Alex's snow day??" I looked outside again and saw the ground. -_- my mom said "yep".....as i was getting breakfast i said to myself "cheap!" hahaha....
now its been snowing for over 3 hours straight!...i stood corrected. haha! There has to be at least 3-4 inches of snow outside! =p its going to be a lazy crazy weekend! -_- BLAH!! Oh well! i have plenty to do!! [= school work, blogging, facebook, school work, dissections, and....oh! school work!! haha...they said that its going to be snowing like this all. weekend. :s (this should be fun)
so far....the days have "brightened" up a great deal! My mom went to a women's night/get together thing with our church last night and came home with so many "small world" stories!! they were great to hear! I've met a few people at my little tutorial that i go to. i met this really nice girl named Caroline! i cant wait to get to know her more! (she reminds me alot of my best friend Caroline in AZ!!) i've also met some girls at church! so there are a few things to be looking forward to now!! [=

"Soaring Prayers" by Tori Woods
"How does man express God's glory and light?
How does he praise God's strength and might?
with glass and stone prayers expressing God's worth,
man created a heavenly city on earth.
The men how they toiled year after year,
masons, carpenters, artists, and engineers,
their passion, patience, persistence, and mirth,
helped them create a heavenly city on earth.
columns, vaults, buttresses, spires and towers,
directed eyes heavenward expressing God's power,
bright painted walls depicting Christ's birth,
were parts of this heavenly city on earth.
sparkling glass windows where stories were told,
to illiterate people making God's story unfold,
the lost received insight, hope and rebirth,
because of this heavenly city on earth.
silver crosses, jeweled boxes, lovingly created,
illuminated manuscripts elaborately decorating,
pilgrims converged from places like Perth,
to this heavenly city on earth.
this treasure of faith and center of life,
in medieval cities teeming with strife,
was a symbol of the church's self worth,
man's creation; his heavenly city on earth."
this was my poem that i had to present to my humanities class today!!!....it went better than i had expected!! haha

old poems made new....
So...
a while back one of my very close friends wrote a touching poem to me....by scratch....it was very good!! (for someone who doesn't write poetry on a daily basis...) hehe....its one of my favorite poems!!!....but like always....life goes on...things happen....and relationships change. But i still wanted to share this poem with you guys!! (i have to change a few words....but they all still mean the same thing!!)
this is for that special person that originally wrote this for me!....
"there is a special friend that i cant stop thinking about,
i love them with all my heart, and to me they are much more than an acquaintance, they are someone that i care alot about and would do anything for,
i loved seeing their face, it would brighten up my days, their smile could lighten up the darkest of rooms, they're very funny and very kind, and i hope we can stay close friends forever and ever! so this is for you....my very good friend whom i love very very much!" [=

2nd semester!!!
Hey!!
Ok, so the second semester has finally started! My home work has been at a minimum as of now and my school work as been the norm!..Lately its been: wake up, get dressed, go down stairs, eat break fast, do family bible study, then start school around 7:30am. Then pick brother up at 2:30pm! It's been pretty chillax during the day! Dad's at work and bro at school all day! So its just the girls running the house! haha (me, mommy, and puppy Sophie) I've been reading A LOT of my book for school! its called "the Talisman." Its an old English book so my mind flies around while i read it...until i've read it over and over at least 3 times i start to understand it! haha its really hard to comprehend!
Friend wise...well, you know how it is! i'm new! i'm just now starting to get out and around...somewhat. I've met the kids in my class and some kids at church..but i haven't really sat down and got engrossed in a "real" conversation yet. Not going to lie...its been really really hard making a "fresh" start when it comes to making new friends. =/ (and being the more quieter type...its been internally stressful!!) I'd be laying in bed imagining the worse cases! (picturing my az friends livin the life! having soooo much fun together!) The other night i had a social night Myer! In my dream I had been at my church in az -visiting- and everything seemed totally normal until all my friends came running up to me yelling my name and giving me hugs!...well...attempting to give me hugs...i could tell it was a dream because whenever they would reach out for my hand or try to hug me...they would go right through me! =[ This morning i told my mom about my dream and she told me that its normal to have those kind of dreams and that i'm simply missing my friends and they are too far to give me hugs. Also the other night i broke down crying when my mom asked me if i was ok. i told her i didn't feel "right". (again...this is normal) -_-
Last week I was looking through the book shelves in the class room and i found a book entitled "a woman after God's own heart" i picked it up. and took it to my room and started reading it. WOW! it really opened my eyes! I began to read the first chapter of the book and it was about mary's sister martha and how she was too busy getting her house all ready for Jesus when all he wanted her to do is sit and be still and talk with him. that was me right there. it really opened my eyes to see that i haven't been "sitting still" and listening to God. I've been so busy moving, unpacking, getting ready for Christmas and then school, and now doing school! That i've totally forgotten about God!! =o *O shnap!* haha...but i've found time at night to talk to God and thank him for everything that he's done. (even though i've cried out "why me?!?" a few times) I just have to keep reminding myself that I'm here. with my family. for a reason. Now all I gotta do is find what that reason is! [= So, please continue to keep not only me but my family in your prayers as we all try to find our own reasons for being here!
Thanks a bunch!
LOVE u all!!!
