You're Always in My Heart.

Well, I know there's a reason

And I know there's a rhyme

We were meant to be together

And that's why

We can roll with the punches

We can stroll hand in hand

And when I say it's forever

You understand

That you're always in my heart

You're always on my mind

But when it all becomes too much

You're never far behind

And there's no one

That comes close to you

Could ever take your place

'Cause only you can love me this way

I could have turned a different corner

I could have gone another place

Then I'd of never had this feeling

That I feel today, yeah

And you're always in my heart

Always on my mind

When it all becomes too much

You're never far behind

And there's no one

That comes close to you

Could ever take your place

'Cause only you can love me this way

Ooh

And you're always in my heart

You're always on my mind

And when it all becomes too much

You're never far behind

And there's no one

That comes close to you

Could ever take your place

'Cause only you can love me this way

Ooh

Only you can love me this way

<3

Here's To You & Me.

For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm doing something right because when I look at him, it's there. In everything he does to me, it's there. I don't know what it is, but I know that it is there, & it's never going to leave. 


We've come this far and baby I wanna keep going. You are my ice cream on hot days. You are my hot chocolate on the snowy days. You are my blanket on starry nights. And you are the dawn of my mornings. I've never been this happy before in my entire life and boy, you got my friends saying, "She's never been like this before, look at how happy she is!" And I couldn't be more grateful that you are in my life. 


So here's to me and you baby, may we continue to be a blessing in each others lives and to keep the love flowing.  <3 


with all my heart.

This week has been filled with so much fun that going back to the grind of work sounds like the most depressing thing ever....but nevertheless. i had fun. :D 

Summer 2010. you are awesome. keep up the good work. <3 

Beating the Record.

My longest relationship has only been 2 and 1/2 months before....and you say that you want to beat that record because you wanna show me what i've been missing and you wanna give me what I deserve. But baby, ever since that first date of ours where we found out we both loved red skittles, you sang Kesha in the movie theater, and I told you that I loved baseball....we've beaten that record.  Time doesn't always exemplify strength and desire for one another.  Its then and there that I knew, even before we really started dating, that you were one of a kind and that this relationship would surpass any "record" that I had with any previous guys.

You make me laugh, you tell me I'm beautiful with no makeup on, you compromise with me and understand that things come up every now and then and that plans may change, you are interested in more things than just sex and you treat me like I'm your one of a kind. I absolutely love that and I absolutely love you.

I never thought that two people could fall in love so quickly but baby when you have such an honest, open relationship like you and I have its so easy to fall head of heels for someone and mean it with all your heart.

Too the many months to come baby, i love you. <3

Mutual Weirdness.

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.  

I love you Khris Kendrick. <3

And Baby...its just you and me.

i keep thinking of how much i love talking to you. how good you look when you smile. how much i love your laugh. i daydream about you off and on, replaying pieces of our conversations; laughing at funny things that you said or did. i've memorized your face and the way that you look at me. i catch myself smiling again at what i imagine. i wonder what will happen the next time we are together and even though neither of us know what the future holds, i know one thing for sure; you're the best thing that has ever happened to me. <3

When Its All Said & Done.

June 12, 2010.  They say that high school is the best time of your life and I can honestly say that I agree with that 100%.  Yeah, you'll have the fights, the tears, the breakups, the drama, the rumors, and everything else negative...but in contrast...you'll have the laughs, the dances, the pep rallies, the friday night football games, the pranks, and the memories.  All this put together, are the ingredients that makes you who you are.  Without the negatives, you would have never learned to forgive, let go, and move on. With the positives, you would have never known what it felt like to succeed.

To all the teachers, who at times, I wanted to strangle and at times I absolutely loved them...thank you.  To all the students, those who spread rumors....thank you.....those who hated me.....thank you.....those you loved me.....thank you....and those who were my closest friends....thank you.  Its because of y'all that I am me and that's never going to change.

Now to start a new chapter in my life.  College. :)
