English class memories :)

I was going through some old english papers that I did in the 10th grade... I must say that was defiantly one of the best years of my life :) I did this short letter for an extra credit assignment... needless to say it got and A :) lol it was fun and thats all that matters :) Good times and good memories

Dear Santa,
I can explain what really happened during the church Christmas show...
I was standing on the stage minding my own business when the old music lady just assumed that I was a part of the whole thing. She gave me a rob thing and told me to wait with the other kids. I had no idea what was going on so I just did it. Anyway, I got put on the stage, and I pretended to know what was going on. Well, at the very end we were singing Silent Night. It was getting kinda boring so I decided to add a twist to things... I really didn't mean to knock the crib over, and I think Elvis was one of the greatest that ever lived... Anyway, the music lady was so mad that she grabbed my arm and yanked me off the stage. My dad thought it was it was funny... But mom didn't.
Mr. Santa, Please understand that I'm young and am still learning... How am I supposed to know that names like "Crazy Hag", "Old Rug" and "Crusty Rug" and stuff like that were mean? My Grandma calls herself an old hag... Anyway, Thank You for your time and I'm glad you understand :)

Love,
Johnny

I'm so glad I can look back through my old notebooks and remember the good times I got to spend with so many wonderful people, the times I got to walk through the pasture, the years I got to go to girls camp, The times I sat in the parking lot at Walmart talking to friends or kicking back with a mini carton of ice cream... For the times I walked to a friends house and ended up staying till almost 1 in the morning... then having to wake up at 5 for seminary :) staying up late writing essay due the next day.. I miss those times, but I'm glad they happened. And I know that they will happen again... soon :)

Take my hand. we'll hid in the corner...

♪♫ When your world trembles and quakes, and your footing suddenly shifts and shakes...Take my hand, We'll hide in the corner, Hide in the corner, Take my hand... We'll hide 'til it's over, 'Til it's all over... We have choices to make, We have promises that we can't break, There is nothing left to lose, So hold on to me I'll hold on to you. Take my hand, We'll hide in the corner, Hide in the corner... Take my hand, We'll hide 'til it's over 'Til it's all over... ♪♫
~ From the song, Corners, by Allie Moss

.... This song came to me right when I needed it. I was right in the middle of this big place they call Alaska, my phone was dead at the time and I was surrounded by people who only saw the fake smile on my face. For a moment I truly felt alone, but then I remembered the Scripture - Fear not, little children, for you are mine, and I have cover come the world, and you are of them that my Father hath given me; (D&C 50:41) and right then this song came on on my Ipod..... the combination of these two things, I stood up a little straighter and continued on. I felt better knowing that anywhere I go I can turn to God and remember the love of my friends....

~ No matter where I go God will take my hand and hid with me in the corner because I am his child and he is my father :)

Thank you my friend

This is a Thank you to those best friends that should have been our sisters.... :)

Thank you, for being there for me when I felt alone...
Thank you, for being honest and never giving up on me.
Thank you, for yelling when I needed a wake up call :)
Thank you, for reminding me that no matter where I am in life I can always go back to you and find myself again.
Thank you, for the long nights of crying and just telling stories that made us think of good times and the ones that will come if we stay true to our plans and dreams.
Thank you, for all the letters and an the occasional cards that let me know you're thinking of me right when I needed them.
Thank you, for the support during the crazy break ups and make ups with those icky boys that we can't seem to get enough of.
Thank you, for the memories of summer days, when all we did was catch frogs, run through the sprinklers, and herd the chickens around the yard with the kittens that we loved so dearly fallowing behind us.
Thank you, for when I felt so lost that all I wanted to do was give up on life you wouldn't let me :)
Thank you, for the times that we use to plot the ultimate demise of teachers, neighbors or boys ;)
Thank you, for reminding me of Gods love by just calling to chat.

Thank you.... For just being my best friend, thank you for everything. I hope I have been the same for you.
Love, forever and ever
You're One And Only Tessica

Hey everyone!

Hello everyone! I'm sorry its taken me so long to post something, I've had some crazy things happen to me in the past year... Two of the biggest things have changed my life one for better and one for worse. the first is that my family finally got to bring home two of our missing family members! my sister Tayjah and my brother Titus. It has been one crazy heck of a ride I'll tell ya that, but due to a series of mind blowing events they have come home. It was nothing short of a miracle. And secondly.... We moved to Alaska. yes you read right Alaska. I will not lie to you I was not excited, I am still not excited to be here but you will be proud to know that these people up here would never be able to guess it ahahaha ;) I can officially say that I have dealt with lunatics now lol jk... these people defiantly have a different way of thinking and doing things and I'm still trying to figure out of thats a good thing or not. Oh by the way, the pictures that my laptop obnoxiously put in the wrong place, are two of my favorite senior pictures that my wonderful best friend Rach took for me before I left Idaho. I had always wanted her to take my senior pictures so I went ahead and got them done a year early lol she did an AMAZING job! Thank you so much Rach!
well I better go I will get more pictures and comments up before you know it, now that I have my laptop (yay!) I love you all!!!
