Best Friends

Katie, you're my cousin, my best friend. I can tell you everything and trust you more than I can trust anyone else. We have crazy times, but nevertheless funner than anyone else would know. There are millions of pictures of us, starting from when we were little kids to now. We've spent nights staying up late just to talk and giggle (Mostly giggle.) Then there are those nights we stayed up to prank phone call people, saying the most random things, trying to keep people on for as long as we could. Ah, those are the days.

Together we've faced some of the most difficult and even treacherous mountains of problems. You always have my back and I will always have yours. Trust is never an issue, I can trust you with my life. You know all my secrets, even the ones nobody else knows.

We sure know how to have fun. Dancing, singing, video making, picture taking, and who could forget DDR and sing star? Some day we will learn the dance moves to Thriller and at both of our weddings we'll get up and do the whole dance. When we get old and are in wheelchairs, we'll run around causing trouble with our motor scooters and laugh about it for hours.

Katie, you're my best friend. I wouldn't change a thing about it. Well, I'd make you live closer to me, but hey, thirty minutes isn't too bad. I love you like a nerd loves math, and we are definitely tighter than a fat guy in spandex. To our friendship, to us. Don't ever forget it.

All right, now I'll post a link. =]

We Won't Throw Our Lives Away

I'm sorry this is kind of sloppy. I don't have much time, so I'm typing it fast and I didn't edit. Thanks for reading!! Please join!!

Decide

Everyone has fallen into the tormenting clutch of peer pressure. I'm sure we've all let it influence our decisions if not control them at least once. Sometimes the damage can be fixed, but sometimes there are things you can't turn back. That's why peer pressure is so bad. Those permanent decisions can make a world of a difference. Don't get me wrong, not all peer pressure is bad, although most of it is.

The moral of this blog; don't let peer pressure bother you. It's part of life. Although, some is good, a lot is bad. Use common sense and decide for yourself. Make your own decisions. If you need help with a decision you can always ask, but don't let that be your whole decision. Put in your own thoughts, think about it, and then decide. I could go on about how peer pressure is good and bad, but let's just end it here, I'm sure we've all heard everything about it.

I Am Carmen

As some of you know, I've been writing a book. Drake My Lycan Brother is my accomplishment and I couldn't be prouder. I spend day after day thinking about it. All of my characters are perfect in my eyes no matter how many flaws they actually have. Plus, the more I think about it, I am Carmen in more than one way. The constant thoughts make me feel more like her everyday. Maybe I'm not like her, but she is like me.

More about the book, I'm still editing. There are just a few more pages that need to be edited and a few new things to add. It should not be much longer before it's all wrapped up and sent off to a publisher. I am thrilled about how it has all turned out and can not wait for all my readers from when I first started to finally see how it all goes. I'll give you all an update soon! Thanks for all of you who have been here to support me!

P.S. I'm still deciding on a final pen name. Andee Divine or Andee Rose? Any thoughts?

Butterflies

One person can make such an impact on another's heart. One person can make life greater than anyone ever imagined. All it takes is one smile from him, and I'm smiling too. I get these butterflies in my stomach every time I hear our song. Every time he kisses me, I get them too. He can hold my hand, but also my heart. There aren't enough words to describe exactly how I feel, so I'll sum them up in just three words. I love you, Bill.

We Have the Willpower

Willpower, also known as determination, a quality some of us have and some of us wish we had more of. When it comes down to it, the willpower to do something will keep you strong. It doesn't always have to be the willpower to do something, it can be to stand up for yourself and not do something. You have to hold yourself high enough that you won't fall to peer pressure. You have to be determined to accomplish dreams and goals.

Don't ever let anyone get their hooks in you and keep you from doing what you want to do. Just smile and say "I won't give up." It proves you're a stronger person if you don't sink low like them. Plus, if you don't get upset, chances are that will irritate them more. They want to get to you and if you don't let them, they'll be irritated.

All in all, determination is your friend. It can keep you from falling to peer pressure, help you accomplish dreams and goals, and not to mention, help your self-esteem. You should never let anyone have power over you, so show them you have the willpower to be a better, stronger person.

Oh it is Love

"When you look me in the eyes, And tell me that you love me. Everything's alright,When you're right here by my side." -Jonas Brothers

When we embrace I get butterflies. I've wanted this for so long. Now I don't ever want to let go. I don't want to ruin this.

Every time I hear our song, I think of you. "These words are my heart and soul." -Sum 41

When you hold my hand, you touch my heart. This is a dream come true.

How Could This Happen to Me?

Drunk driving, it can happen to you. April 12, 2005 it happened to me. I lost my uncle Kevin because one man made the decision to drink and drive. Kevin lost his life and my family lost someone very dear. No one really ever realizes the affect until it happens to you. Some people think it can't possibly happen to them. I'm talking from experience and honestly, I never expected something like that to ever happen. It did happen, it's been three years and there isn't a day where I don't think about it.

The only good thing that came of it was a lesson. I will never drink alcohol and I will never drink and drive. I can not possibly put myself in that kind of situation where I could hurt someone. I wish more people realized how bad it really is. Every fifteen minutes someone dies in a drunk driving accident. That is too many. We have the choice, we can make it better. Think before you act. Don't drink and drive.

Grandmas

These ladies are the ones to look up to. They have so many years under their belts and a ton of wisdom. There are times they appear weak, but inside they're stronger than you could ever imagine. They've had experience beyond our years. Grandmas are smart and strong. When you need someone, they're always there. You don't have to look far, for they're always in our hearts. A grandma can bring so much love to a life and are the beautiful blossoming tree at the end of a difficult path.
