Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow'd.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

My Papa (mother's father) memorized this poem when he was young. It was his favorite poem. He has always been a great example in my life! I love you Papa!!

The Happiest Place On Earth!

Can you guess where I went?! I absolutely love Disneyland! Just try to not have a good time when your there, I dare you! We went this year for my nephew Dallas' birthday. I can't believe how old he has gotten. I'm so glad I got to spend some time with him and my dad and mary! I love my family!

Girls trip!!

I'm really late on posting this, but about 2 or 3 weeks ago, my most bestest friends and I took a trip to Utah. We stayed at Nicoles house in Salt Lake City. It was so much fun! We didn't plan anything, we just shopped and ate a lot and had dance parties in the car. I felt like I was young again. We stayed up all night telling stories. I have the coolest friends in the world! The best part of the trip, I'll let Tammy tell, "I about died when we were getting gas and Michelle left the gas pump in the car and thought I put it back and Allison drove away and we heard this big bang and loooked back and the pump went flying in the air onto the ground. Uhh embarrasing, who does that!!" HAHA!

If you read this your as lame as me

So I'm REALLY bored and stole this off of someone else's blog. Don't judge me ha
