popcorn

That's right people! It's time to get down to busyness! We are talking about POPCORN today! ;) Why? because it's a very...important and...tasty food! Without popcorn movies would be less popcorny! and then what would the people who work at theaters have to clean up after all of us sloby movie goers? GASP! not peanuts! And then what would all those poor people that are allergic to peanuts eat? Surly we can not deprive them of that buttery goodness now!!
Okay but no really, popcorn is really just an amazing food! It starts out these hard kernel things and then you heat it up and this fluffy white yumminess come BURSTING out and it's like a butterfly coming out of it's...shel! And then you can put butter and salt and other seasoning on it and make it even yummier! And it's soo crunchy and salty and yummy and you can put cheese powder on it and then it's REALLY YUMMY!!! And even that popcorn with carmel or w/e it is all over it is good! And to think that orthodontists don't let all those poor kids with braces eat any popcorn for TWO HOLE YEARS just breaks my little hart! Okay not really but if there are any orthodontists reading this, take it from someone that had braces it's just mean not let us eat popcorn for that long!
Anyway if you really think about it we can learn from popcorn! Just cause someone is hard and hurts like when you try eating a kernel doesn't mean they can't change, just show them a little warmth and heat them up (in a good way) and POP they can be fluffy and soft! Like kittens. But remember, just like kernels not everyone will change because there are always those kernels at the bottom of the pot that won't pop.
p.s. this is Katy and I totally agree, popcorn is awesome!!! :) try some! eat some! have some more!!

this is for all of you

I've been struggling a lot lately. I think I am a bit scared of growing up, to tell you the truth. There are more and more decisions that I have to make, and they are harder decisions than ones I had to make when I was younger, that is, my decision will affect my life in a much bigger way.

I started to think about how I've been feeling sort of depressed lately, and thought it might help me, and anyone else who might feel similarly, if I wrote a blog post about it. A wise friend told me that a very good way to write on a blog is to write what you know. (Thanks, Jenah.) :)

Well, here's what I know. I know that things aren't usually as bad as they seem. I can get down, but, as another one of my wise friends has reminded me more than once, and always when I need to hear it!, (thanks, Payton), God is there for us. He'll always be there for us, for me. If I can keep that in mind, maybe, just maybe, I can face my struggles with a courageous, uplifted heart.

I would like to thank my family and friends, who are always there for me if I need to talk, or I need advice, or just a reminder I am loved. I want all of you know that I am always here for all of you too!

I would love to make my blog an inspirational, fun place to be. If any of you have any ideas as to how we can do that, please, please tell me!

You guys rock!
