Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.

I hate MEAN people...that don't have a life and they find any way to bring someone else down to make them feel better...

I can't stand people that are bullies. Yes, sometimes it's fun and games with your close friends...but that is different you know they love you and accept you for you. I can't stand the mean crued people out in the world. It hurts me to know people get treated like crap. I know what it feels like to have rumors spread about me (that aren't/weren't true), teasing, mean words, etc. I can't stand people like that. I've dealt with them. I would feel sooo bad about myself at times that I felt I deserved it. Finally at one point in my life after I moved I started to have friends, TRUE friends. I then started to do this whole thing in front of people but it was just a front. Sometimes I had friends that would Jokingly say really mean things that really do hurt your feelings deep down. I tried sooo hard not to take it personally but sometimes you can't help because there is a certain way someone says the things and your not entirely sure if they are joking. I would just laugh it off but really it hurt. The point of this is ...I really can't stand crued people. I had something like that happen to me today that reminded of that type of "joking around". Yes, it hurt but oh well, life goes on. I know the people that are my true friends. We can't let the mean people win. Forget what they say because you know your intensions and so does Heavenly Father...no one else really does. Stay positive. :)

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with.

The person I've probably done the most crazy things with are probably Chelsey and her siblings. I mean it's really hard to choose just one because there is another family that I've done a lot of crazy things with along with The Wakefields. :) What can I say? I'm just a crazy insane person that does a lot of retarded things but hey it's fun! :)

These are of mostly Jessica Winkie and I but also her sister Jen Jen. We've had some crazy times. but anyone that is friends with me know that we always have a crazy fun time .:) I miss them all. :)

Day 9 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

Honestly I don't have just one person that has helped me get through the most. These are my lovely best friends. :) If it weren't for them I'd probably be a completely different people. They've shaped me into the person that I am. I can't say that all of us are as close as we once were...and it really makes me sad but most of us are still really close but doesn't change the fact that these girls are and will always be my best friends and someone that will be close to my heart forever. I am truely blessed to have met them and to be able to get so close to them. I went to them when I was in need of advice, or even just to be CRAZY! :) We've all had amazing times together. I miss those days where we were all in one place together. I can't thank them enough for being part of my life and I'm pretty sure they don't know how much I appriciate our friendships. I love you all. :) FOREVER!

Day 8- A picture that makes you laugh!

So, again I can't just pick one. I'm obessed with pictures!

This is a picture of my Aunt Katie. When we get together we are CRAZY. This day was probably the funniest day ever. I love this picture of her. :)

Well, we decided to do each other's make up and I did hers really silly and then she came back with revenge, haha.

This was Jen Jen's birthday party. She isn't in the picture. If you notice everyone is looking at the ground laughing. We dropped the birthday girl on the floor....oops. hahahahahaha

Day 7 - A picture of your most treasured item.

I love this! Someone very close to my heart made this for me. I have to say it really is one of the most amazing things anyone has made me. Well, besides the doll my MawMaw Faye made for me when I was a baby (it's old and only has one eye now) but no one probably wants to see that. ;) I always felt like as much as I tried to explain myself people still didn't understand how I felt or what I was going through. My close friend Clare understood me the most. She got me and was there EVERY single time I needed someone to talk too. Even if it was freezing outside. I couldn't be more thankful for someone like her in my life. Every person in the Thomas family I hold dear to my heart. All such amazing people with amazing spirits and personalities. I know that Heavenly Father answers prayers or even helps us through rough times, even if it is through a friend. Early in my teenage years I had a very low self esteem. I never thought I was beautiful or pretty or anything. I didn't take compliments at all. One day Clare came up to me and said something to me. I don't remember exactly what it was but I did know that I never said anything about that to her before. I asked her how she knew that and she replied, "I'm laurel president and I pray for each and everyone of you." So, Heavenly Father told her that I was having hard time with finding beauty inside myself. I'm pretty sure not in those exact words it was a long time ago. I think I was 16 or 17.  I was so thankful to have her and to have someone that understood me a little bit better. WE'd have talks and she would write things and it would be EXACTLY how I felt but I couldn't put into those words. I said wow, that's exactly how i feel at times. She told me she wrote it for me and said I wasn't the only one that felt that way. :) I am blessed to have such amazing best friends in my life and to know who my true friends are. We may be far apart and at different places in our lives now but doesn't change the fact that they WILL be there for the rest of my life. I am forever grateful!



Day 6- Trade places with whom?

I know I'm not going completely in order but I am still doing it. :)

This one is really hard for me to decide. I would love to trade places with a lot of people. It's hard to pick just one person. I don't know whether to choose a friend or to choose someone famous!??

So, why not do both????

See that beautiful lady with me??? That is Anie!!! If I were to choose to trade places with a friend, I'd choose her. I admire her strength! I love the person she is. I know that it wasn't easy for her to have the life she has. I know she's had a few rough patches in her life and to be the person she is; always positive and caring towards others. I wish I was as strong as her and that one day I will be a little more like her. I love how honest she is, never afraid to be blunt with me when I am in need for some advice. Our friendship came fast. Sometimes it's hard to remember where we met and how we became so close. It was really that fast! Anie is definately one of those people that deserves everything. I am one lucky person to know someone as amazing as she is. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE TAUGHT ME. You really have been a great example to me and you always will be. I love you bunches!!!!

CARRIE UNDERWOOD!

 

I picked Carrie Underwood because of the fact that she came from a small town not having a lot. & She continues to give back to others and that she is one the most respectful/modest celebrities out there. She has done things that I wish I could do. I would love to go to africa and volunteer to help with the orphangans or even donate money if I had money to give. I'd love to just be able to help them. Not only that. Her newest album song "change". She donated a certain amount of the money people paid for the album to save the children or some charity organization. I love that she gives back to those in need. That she hasn't forgotten who she is as a person. I respect her and love her music. :)

Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.

I can't just pick one favorite memory. I have sooooo many! So, here are a few.

This was probably one of the funnest/funniest sleepovers we've had. I mean we've had a lot of sleepover and all were hillarous and fun but just something about this night that was AWESOME!

This is one of many trips to the park that we took. We practically lived at that park. & we had sooo many fun times there. Some that can't even be mentioned. :)

This was an amazing night. See that big blurred person...that's me. :) This was I believe the first night Anie and I got to hang out, outside a church event. She was one busy lady and I admired her for it. Therefore one of the best nights ever. :)

This was my one and only time I got to go back to Kansas to see old friends. The ENTIRE trip there was a memory not to be forgotten. :) LOVED IT!

&& This was a friday night and we were soo bored that we decided to dress up like the 80's and go out in the town of Leavenworth. We got a lot of weird looks but it was worth it. :)

So, those are some of my favorite memories. :) & hopefully more to come. :)
