Surprise!


The FIGHT or flight instinct is an unusual one. I would LOVE to say that I possess the FIGHT portion, but that would be a lie. Because under all my spunk, stubbornness and "character", I'm a flighter at heart. Unfortunately I found this out yesterday the hard way.So here's the story.....
My boyfriend Reid was supposedly in Denver with his band. He left early
Saturday morning and got as far as the border, where they were denied access into the U.S. Him being a master at the art of deceiving decided to keep it a secret and surprise me after I had written most of my diplomas. Most of you are probably thinking " what a little darling " right now, just wait it gets better. I spent the day at Shikaris house while we waited for our friend Jessica to get to Cardston. Jessica is also Reids best friend in case you were wondering. At 3:30 when Jessica got to Shikaris's I felt like I should call my house, so I did, thinking nothing of it. My 7 year old brother was at home alone so I told him I would come pick him up, me being an awesome older sister... As I make my way up the stairs Jessica and Shikari were acting weird, but then again that's nothing out of the ordinary. I walk outside and there leaning against my truck, was Reid. I couldn't think of anything other then how much I had missed him for the last few seemingly endless days. I would also LOVE to say we did the slow motion run into each others arms like you see in the movies but I blame that on my inconvenient flight instinct. Ironically I took off in the opposite direction down the middle of an icy road, my boots have zero grip and their about 3 sizes to big so i didn't get very far very fast before he had caught up to me. I cant even imagine what was going through his head as his carefully planned out scheme fell apart with every step I took. Maybe my flight instinct just wanted me to recuperate after being totally surprised, BEFORE I saw the boy who never leaves my thoughts. This is how I would do it if i could go back and do it all again. Obviously I cant but I can always imagine right? :)
It kinda even looks like it could be us! Isn't it lovely?

Skittles


My very first encounter with candy in the states was horrid. Fun dip + my super sensitive stomach = 1 failed hiking trip + 4 unhappy cousins + 1 livid Grandpa + 1 freezing cold river. Needless to say my love for candy has grown since then. Have i mentioned that I'm in LOVE? In love with Skittles that is.
They're possibly the most delicious candy to ever be created! Im going to miss Skittles an unbelievable amount when I move to the states. The candy there just isn't the same.

Paper Weight


Secrets...
Up until yesterday I was quite positive that secrets tear people apart. I was mistaken. Although most of the time secrets are the cause of anger,contention and lies, they also have an unbreakable binding affect. Sharing your inner most thoughts, desires,fears, ambitions, and secrets liberates you. Its refreshing.
I think its like walking in to a dark cave with a lamp. Everything can see you,your flaws, your short comings, your insecurities. Your not quite sure where you are, or where your going but the excitement of the unknown pushes you forward. Finally you find that person on the other end, holding a lamp. You can see them, for exactly who they are. No shadowy disguise, and they can plainly see you. They take your hand and lead you safely back to the outside world. Its exhilarating to completely trust someone, and have them trust you back no questions asked. I L.O.V.E Secrets.
