its summer...in approximately 11 school days, i will be considered a senior. late nights, mornings and days spent at the beach. burns.friends. summer. right? maybe for a little bit, but this summer---this summer i'll be getting for a large move, anticipating my venture to portland maine in july praying that no more accidents will occur and that

just thinking

have you ever stopped and wondered why is it that in the winter when we have temperatures that dip down into the negatives we wish for the heat of the summer. yet when we find the degrees climbing higher and higher in the summer we wish for the coolness of winter. why is that? why is it that in the soft springy-ness and freshness of spring we don't wish for the cool wind and bright clear skies of fall? or just where God stores all that rain and snow? why does an airplane stay in the sky, because it doesn't seem like it should. where does all the water in the ocean come from? have you ever stopped and marveled at the fact that God loves you--no matter what you've done and that he created us for his glory? just thinking.

lifes happenings lately

				dress to impress or just to embarrass. points for class. crazy games. who's gonna win? juniors or seniors? freshmen or sophomores? this week at RHS is spirit week. So far it has consisted of sport day,music day, character day, and today was decade day. I decided to humor my mother and dress like I was from the eighties. and yes, it was complete with big hair and a "Save Farris" pin. It has been such a fun week for me as I have never experienced spirit week in a high school before. You may wonder why I decided to write on this topic.... well here's why.
	Last friday I was told that I would be unable to attend our end of the week pep rally because I'm not considered a registered student at my school( I also take three classes at home so they considered me a home-schooler.) So my friend Brandon decided to start a petition on facebook so that I would be able to attend. As of right now there are 60 people that are supporting me in this cause. "hey abby are you going to the pep rally on  friday???" thats been the question that seems to be looming in the air around me all week long. and my answer was "I just don't know yet!" that was until today anyways. today I was called into the office as I was leaving. They told me that I'd be able to attend tomorrow! thanks to all of my supporters and see you at the pep rally s

love.love.love

love.love.love. here are some quotes on love :)
love each other and you will be happy. its as simply and as difficult as that.

"When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams." Dr.Seuss 
 

  We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. 

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

seasons

Seasons Everywhere

Softly drifting to the ground, great white snowflakes all around

Hands of darkness  creeping in, stealing breath from the day

Rivers frozen,trees are bare-this is winter almost everywhere.

Blooming blossoms, chirping birds soaring all the day

Flowers bright and lovely stretching faces to the skies

White buds on trees turning to green spread their hands so wide 

breezes blowing, excitement's growing

this is springtime everywhere

Heat of day, coolness of night 

Raindrops falling oh what delight!

Red,white and blue-

Oh my, what a sight!

Fears of life all to soon forgotten.

Waves are breaking on the shore

this is summertime everywhere

Beautiful canopy painted with colors

so pure, so amazing, such simple perfection.

Clear, crisp, bright cloudless azure skies.

Hayrides, apples dropping, cider mulling and pumpkin pies

Leave piles, animals hiding winter is creeping in

slowly but surely our good times come to end

Laughter and smiles are forever without care

This is autumn everywhere

.love is.

Love waits for you to finish talking just so it can walk you to your car. It saves you a seat even if you don’t think they’ll come. It’s showing up unexpectedly to surprise you. It holds your hand while you face the most challenging things. It helps you learn things you never thought you’d be able to know. It comes to make cookies on a Saturday afternoon flicking dough and flour everywhere making it an something you won’t soon forget. Its there to catch you when your falling. It whispers in your ear how beautiful you look even when you’re wearing sweats and your hairs in a ponytail. It tells you its secrets. It would give you the world if it could. It shows you how to smile even when you think you’ll never know how to again. It loves you no matter what. It never fails.
