A Barbie Battle

   WOW its been a while!  We only have one more week of school left and two until we graduate!!!
It is so CRAZY!  I don't feel that old and I honestly have mixed emotions about graduating!
                - I'm ready to move onto bigger and better things like... College BYU-I and my MISSION!
                - But I will desperately miss my FAMILY!

Last weekend I applied to 15 jobs in Utah and Ive applied to a few here in Boise.
        Its crazy that I don't really have a plan of what im doing yet.  I guess I'll go where the wind blows:)

I got some more sr pics from my gorgeous friend Quince and so did Preston!!

We are also doing a poetry unit in English and I wanted to share one of my poems with you:) ( WARNING: It doesn't rhyme :)

A Barbie Battle

 

This world we live

in is a Barbie battle.

A battle between

the ideal and real.  A place

where ten year olds are afraid

of becoming fat and eleven million

people suffer from eating

disorders.  With every advertisement

it is as if society is forcing a gun

to your head demanding

you to change.  A physical,

mental and emotional struggle between life

and death.

But we are so much more than that.

We are blessed

with a body that we can use

for good.  We can

help others, go for a jog, stand up

for what we believe is right, have

a barbeque, and laugh,

all because we have a body.

You are capable of so much

more than looking hot.

My favorite scripture of ALL TIME is 1 Sam 16:7

"But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance , but the Lord looketh on the heart."
