Snow flakes.

It's snowing! "In Kennewick?!", you might ask. Why yes, it is. Living in Omak, we got quite used to the snow. So, last Christmas came as a huge disappointment. Ice and fog, but only a sprinkle of snow. This year, everyone's been bustling around, gossiping about this major snow storm coming. Ha! Yeah right. I scoffed in their faces. And now, we're in the middle of a snow storm, 12.1 inch pile up. What?!






It's so beautiful though. Everything's so white and clean. I love the crunching under my feet, and the muffled silence of the city. I've had hot cocoa twice today, with peppermint and vanilla of course! And now I can wear my pea coat and my boots! And scarves and berets and gloves! And the best part of all, no one knows how to drive in this snow. So school is cancelled! Ahhh I love snow.

Speak Now.

Taylor Swift's new album, Speak Now came out last week. The girls and I have been listening to it non-stop. I probably should cool it down before I get sick of  it. But it's such a good album, I'm pretty sure I can relate to every song, but that's just how Tay Swift does it. Fearless is still my favorite album of hers but Speak Now comes in close. All her songs are from personal experience. The album storybook opening is so cute! I just had to post it.

'Speak now or forever hold your peace,' the words said by preachers at the end of wedding ceremonies all over the world, right before the vows.  It's a last chance for protest, a moment that makes everyone's heart race, and a moment I've always been strangely fascinated by. So many fantasize about bursting into a church, saying what they'd kept inside for years like in the movies. In real life, it rarely happens.

    Real life is a funny thing, you know. In real life, saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I've begun to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything.

    I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and looking back regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't say 'I love you.' When we should've said 'I'm sorry.' When we didn't stand up for ourselves or someone who needed help.

My favorite on the album is Enchanted! 

Your eyes whispered "Have we met?"
Across the room, your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms
But now I'll go, sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips 

-Last Kiss

Friday!

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in track pants, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'thats her'..."- Harry Tosser. 


Happy Friday!

I figured I'd have to blog about him sooner or later. Yes, it's finally time. Okay, I have a secret obsession. Well, maybe it's not a secret haha. Justin Bieber. I'm in love with Justin Bieber! 

Isn't he adorable?! I love his music, I love his style, I love his face! haha This summer I went to one of his concerts! Best day of my life. He was so energetic and I could tell that he's a very genuine, down-to-earth teenager. Some might say I'm overly obsessed with him.. And it's odd that I'm 18 and I'm still in love with him. But he's 16! Almost 17! And someday, he will find me, and we will get married. The end.
