"This Could Be Our Day" by Addison Road

What we do here is just the beginning
New life is starting at every ending
We are a part of the story unfolding
This is the weight of the world we are holding
This could be our day
This could be our day (3rd& 4th time)

Clearly it's time to make a change
Or I could keep sitting and waste all day
I know that it's time for me to move
I've been given this minute to use
And given this moment to prove that

Chorus

I was holding back
Now I've come undone
I want to touch the world
Heal the broken ones
Ending the cycle has just begun
We've been given this minute to use
And given this life to prove

Chorus

To give ourselves away
For something beautiful
A million miles away
To the one who's hungry, and thirsty

And needs some hope
To the people that are weary and
Broken and left alone
I'm giving myself away
I'm giving myself away

Chorus

life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...its about dancing in the rain...

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” Audrey Hepburn

Gimme Your Stuff

I am so excited about the opportunity to swap with someone. I have lived in Santa Cruz, Bolivia so I know that there are many countries out there with amazing things to offer! I would love to send someone some American clothing, jewelry, candy, etc: especially things native to Chicago! I know from living overseas candy from the U.S. is an awesome treat! If you want to swap and know something specific you would like..please let me know!

Some ideas of stuff I could send:
- Cubs/Sox (baseball) stuff
- Chicago stuff
- my fave candy (Shock Tarts & Milk Duds)
- trendy piece of clothing or accessory

Opening Day 2009

Baseball season is here!!! I am so excited to watch the games and maybe even go to a couple games! Yesterday started it off..with..A CUBS WIN!! YAY! GO CUBS GO!

Feliz Cumple!

It's my birthday! I really do love my birthday. For instance I woke up this morning and outside my room was a happy birthday balloon from my roomate. It brought me such joy..a balloon..i love that! At work we have lots of snacks..which might not be smart cuz def. a sugar overload. Tonight I am heading to the bourb to see some friends and my sis. Then Friday I am heading to Piqua, Ohio to see my best friend and her fam (and I'm taking my sis with!). Yesterday I realized that I am 23..the age my mother was when she had me..woah..that is crazy. She had already been married for two years too. I can't even think of having a child right now.

Thank You God for always being there each and every day of my life! Thanks for filling my life with such wonderful people and such joy!
