day seven - must be doing something right

day seven - a picture of something/someone that has the most impact on you.

okay so i totally dropped the ball on this. i know. but this past week has been so crazy busy. but here is the next day and hopefully i will stay caught up this time.

so this pictures is probably the most recent picture of my parents, sister and i. which is sad but true. this picture was taken after my sister's soccer team won the state championship last year. very proud moment for all of us.

my family are the ones who have had the most impact on me. we have all had our good times and hard times, but no matter what we always band together and make it through. :) my dad is one of the strongest people i know. he has been through so much and still he is there to provide for all of us. even still today. thanks to him i have a vehicle that i am able to use since my poor ruby is dead. my mom is my rock. simply put. and no matter how much she drives me nuts, i wouldn't trade having a my little sister for anything. i see her growing up before my eyes, and i am so proud of her. she is going to amazing things one day.

day six- she found the strength to break free

favorite superhero and why.... hmm.

well i never really had a favorite superhero growing up that pertained to television or comics and such. so if i had to really think about it i would have to say that my mom is my superhero.

she has always been there for me no matter what, and i know that she will always be there for me whenever i need her. she has taught me that i can do anything i set my mind to and that i am perfect just the way i am (even if i don't always believe it all the time) she has been my support through everything and without her i can honestly say i would not be where i am today. she is my rock, my foundation to stand on and without her i would be lost.

even on my weakest days, i get a little big stronger

A Little Bit Stronger -Sara Evans

Woke up late today,
And I still feel the sting of the pain,
But I brush my teeth anyway,
Got dressed through the mess,
and put a smile on my face
I got a little bit stonger

Ridin' in the car to work,
And I'm tryin to ignore the hurt,
So I turned on the radio,
Stupid song made me think of you,
I listen to it for a minute,
But then I changed it,
I'm gettin a little bit stronger,
Just a little bit stronger

And I'm done hopin, that we can work it out,
I'm done with how it feels, spinnin my wheels,
Lettin you drag my heart around, and oh,
And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
I know my heart will never be the same,
But I'm tellin' myself I'll be okay,
Even on my weakest days,
I get a little bit stronger

It doesn't happen overnight,
but you turn around and months gone by,
And you realize you haven't cried,
Not givin' you an hour or a second or another minute longer,
I'm busy gettin' stronger

And I'm done hopin, that we can work it out,
I'm done with how it feels, spinnin my wheels,
Lettin you drag my heart around, and oh,
And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
I know my heart will never be the same,
But I'm tellin' myself I'll be okay,
Even on my weakest days,
I get a little bit stronger

I get a little bit stronger

Gettin' on without you baby
I'm better off without you baby
How does it feel without me baby
I'm gettin' stronger without you baby

And I'm done hopin, that we can work it out,
I'm done with how it feels, spinnin my wheels,
Lettin you drag my heart around, and oh,
And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
I know my heart will never be the same,
But I'm tellin' myself I'll be okay,
Even on my weakest days,
I get a little bit stronger

I get a little bit stronger

Just a little bit stronger

Little bit, little bit, a little bit stronger

Get a little bit stronger

day numba five- i'm done hoping we could work it out

a picture of some place you have been...

san francisco :)
(photo cred. to my amazing cousin danielle)

i looooooooove this city. it's absolutely amazing. the thought has crossed my mind to live there one day, but i don't know how i could handle california. but if the opportunity ever arose i would jump on it the first chance i got.

day cuatro - if i knew then, what i know now, i'd fall in love

so i'm behind... so shoot me. i've been busy. but here is day number 4: a habit that you wish you didn't have.

hmm... that's a tough one. as of late i think it would have to be biting my nails. i have usually been pretty good about it ever since i was little. but as of late i have caught myself more than once biting them and honestly it's rather frustrating. i've tried the whole painting thing to avoid it, but when you work with little kids the nail polish doesn't usually stay that long and it drives me absolutely insane when i have a chip. i either have to fix it or take it off completely. ridiculous i know, but it's the truth. so i guess for now i will just try and stop on my own.

oh another one is having to finish a chapter in a book before i can stop. i absolutely can't stand stopping in the middle of a chapter. sometimes it's good, but there are many times where i am tired and want to sleep, but i can't make myself stop reading until i am to the next chapter. i don't know how many times i have stayed up way to late doing that because it bothers me if i don't get to the next chapter before i put my book down.

i'm weird, i know this. whatever.

day tres- never let your prayin' knees get lazy and love like crazy

my sister and me :)

mark and me :)

jillian and me :)

ginger and me :)

rooooooooooommate :)

hands down the best birthday ever :)

the best (former) coworkers a girl could ask for :)

day 2 - happy times are here

the meaning behind my blogger name...

well "there's a place i've been looking for..." are actually the beginning lyrics of the rascal flatts song "here". which i absolutely love.

There's a place I've been looking for
That took me in and out of buildings
Behind windows, walls and doors
And I thought I found it
Couple times, even settled down
And I'd hang around just long enough
To find my way back out
I know now the place that I was trying to
Reach
Was you, right here in front of me

[CHORUS]
And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here

It's amazing what I let my heart go through
To get me where it got me
In this moment here with you
And it passed me by
God knows how many times
I was so caught up in holding
What I never thought I'd find
I know now, there's a million roads
I had to take
To get me in your arms that way

[Repeat Chorus]

In a love I never thought I'd get to get to
-here
And if that's the road
God made me take to be with you

[Repeat Chorus]

And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for all the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here
Oh, baby-Ooo
Oh, got me here

but i think the reason that i used it as my blog title was because i am just a girl trying to find her place in this crazy world. i'm taking it one step at a time and learning from everything along the way. sure someday i will find the right place, but until then it's an adventure.
