20 Years, a Tribute

Okay, so this is a pinch overdue. On March 20th, my parents had their 20th wedding anniversery. And it also so happens to be 22 years since they met eachother. My mom walked into the neighborhood Albertsons and saw my dad and did the whole teenage girl "Dang, he is fine!" and it so happens that one of her friends new the handsome man and set the two up. After that, my dad was over  at her house almost everyday, making her and her friends breakfast and helping my grandma with chores and what not. After two years (to the day) of dating and becoming best friends, they got married. They are such a great example to me of what a great and healthy relationship is. They are the best parents anyone could have asked for. And they made some dang great children. I love you guys so much! and Here's to another 20+ wonderful years of marriage!

He Must be Stopped!

Okay, so I'm going to try something new. I'm going to go all political on ya'll! Now, usually I HATE politics and everything about them, but this struck me. I feel the need to share it and get it out there!
Okay, so first, watch the video. This whole thing will make a lot more sense if you do, and the guy can explain it way better than I ever could. You've watched it? Alright cool. So take a couple seconds and thing about all the thing ( I call them middle class white people problems) that you have complained about today. Here are some of mine
1. Dang! Why do I have to wake up early every morning!?
2. My bed is to warm too get out of!
3. Why do I have all this homework!
4. I don't want to wait in line for food!
5. I don't want to go to my last period!
6. I'm tired
7. We have nothing to eat!
and the list goes on and on. But as you have seen from the video, our problems are so much less than theirs. We need to help our fellow man. We must pull together and make a statement! and who knows, this could define our generation! We can stop Kony in his tracks and save all those millions of people. I know our lives aren't perfect and we have our own concerns and all that jazz, but come one. We can at least take 30 minutes out of our day and raise awareness about this horrendous issue. We can do it! We don't want to look back on this and tell our future generation of how we almost helped or how we were thinking about it, we want to say how we raised awareness and stopped a murderer/ rapist/ crime against humanity. I know we can. I believe in America!
Much love and apologies for the preachy-ness

"Well a better brains is are you brains a brains! - Homer Simpson


This is my older sister Ellen getting a pop for our mom. Cute right!?

100 views!!! Yes. I feel so successful! Well so I am determined to make this year awesome. It's the last year of the world (haha just kidding, I don't believe in that), and mainly because I am turning 16! I'm planning on bettering myself. Like right now, I am off soda for lent. I'm not necessarily doing it for the actual reason of lent, I just wanted to see if I could do it. For as long as I can remember we have had soda at my house (see above picture). But for 40 days I am going to be soda free! As terms and conditions, my definition of soda is: a sweet drink containing carbonated water and flavoring. Which discludes all lemonade or non carbonated drinks that happen to come in a can. Its been a bit hard, because when you go to restaurants and stuff, you can't get a root beer. Which is what I miss most. I just ignored it until it was gone. This should teach you a less on cherishing what you have. Wait, no it shouldn't! This is about me missing pop! Not saving your relationships! oh well. do whatever you want.
The End.
Much Love,
Abby

This will be our year...
