one of my most favorite movies of all time is Ladder 49. I love this movie so much but it is one of the most sadest movies i have ever seen.. i bawl i mean really really really bawl when i watch this movie... we watched it tonight.. first time in over a year and i bawled for about 30 minutes... even after the movie was over! i do suggest seeing this movie though even though its sad its still one of the best movies! i love it! The reason its been so long since we watched it is because i bawl like this everytime... i balwed at the theater with my mom and fernanda, and then when i got the movie for my 19th birthday from my mom THANK YOU MOM... we all watched it as a family.. and there i was bawling and sniffling and balwing a whole lot more.. everyone was like geez laura! lol i dont know why it makes me cry so much ive seen sad movies before but this one i just lose it lol.. anywho well hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend! love you all 24 more days!!

First comes Spring, Second comes Summer, Third comes...

WINTER? where did fall go? is it coming back?? this is what we woke up to this morning... on SEPTEMBER 16TH!

CRAZY!!! its not alot but its something to make this little snowlover happy! i woke up and had to pee, and I walked into the living room to get my chapstick and I looked out the window to see if it was sunny and I got a surprise!! i get to wear my favorite long sleeve shirt, comfy jeans, and my wonderful leather converses... oh so lovin this! i liked summer but 105 degrees gets old after a week. lol i cant wait for my bright green snowboard jacket, getting my board waxed, going up to the mountians and hiking up before the season opens... hot chocolate, layers of heavy blankets at night, sweartshirts, snowmans, sledding, homemade scarfs and beanies. mmmmm... so excited!

we will remember.

5 years.. wow...

5 years since that tragic day
5 years since i was the most confused
5 years since everything changed
5 years since we became weak then stronger

my thing is i want to know how many people would have remembered if it wasnt all over the news this weekend? i feel as if our country is forgetting that day, we need to remember it and cherish that day for it brought all of us together, stronger, united as one.

my prayers to all those who died. you ARE rememebered

atcs...

okay there are things called ATCs they are like mini cards, but of art.. mainly digital art.. in my eyes they are to push the limits and go out tehre with your art... break your comfort level and try stuff.. here is what i came up with... the first one is pretty comfy for me but the second one is out of my bubble and i love it!

welcome!!!

welcome BRINNON ADAM CLINE!!!! im so excited to annouce the long awaited arival of my nephew!!!... so many prayers, tears, and miracles! Im so proud and happy for Adam and Carrie... they are already fantastic parents and will always be! i did this layout tonight with a picture from my sisters blog... family.grendell.net hope you dont mind Amy. i love this picture! anywho today Logan and I chilled hung out, and went to the Greater Avenue's street fair... its like giant farmers market.. in all honesty it really felt like i was in Washington downtown... it really made me feel like at home, which i needed. anywho well love you!

tragic...

my prayers go out to Steve Irwin's family... if you have not heard the famous "CROC HUNTER" from Austrilla Steve Irwin died this morning by a freak accident... he was in the ocean in shallow water on the reef doing a documentry on the oceans deadlest creaters when a stingray struck him with its barbed tail right in Steve's heart... it is said he died instantly but they quickly pulled him on the boat and did CPR on him for 30 minutes until they got to land and pernouced his death... he left behind two children, daughter Bindie (8) and son Bob (almost 3) and his Wife...

Tragic....

my prayers to his family and friends... to his children to know he's in a better place, and his wife for comfort and peace.
