My Heart is Smiling :)

The news is normally depressing to me but when I saw this online late last night, I was happy sobbing. Oh the feels! A husband got a flash mob for his wife, who has MS, for their anniversary. This is an example of true love. My heart was beaming.  💖 😀 

Wonderland Camp, July 2016

Last week didn't end as I planned due to extreme sickness but my four days at Wonderland Camp rocked! I hung out with my friends: Cookie, Ann, Emma, and Dustin. I also made new friends: Brittany and Lexi. I went on the splash pad a lot. I love that thing with water squirting and sploshing on me. The week was also Harry Potter themed so I was in heaven. Everything was about Harry Potter and magic. All of the cabins were even sorted into houses. Our cabin was Hufflepuff.   

The boat ride was relaxing despite the hellish heat. We saw the pirate ship next to the dock restaurant. The ship has fake skeletons on it and I like to pretend that the skeletons were Captain Hook's crew once. Later that day, we had a "magical" scavenger hunt to "earn points" for our house.Then the next night, the talent show was amazing! All of the music was awesome and the acts were funny. I sang "Lost Boy" by Ruth B. for my talent and it was so much fun. Everybody loved it. 

Happy 4th! :)

Happy Fourth of July! I'm still not a fan of fireworks and never will be but yay America!!! Have fun and be safe. :) 

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! My dad is my hero and my best friend who understands my craziness. 😀 I love you Daddy. ❤ 

Happy, Bubbly Time! :)

Get ready to say Awwww! This commercial from Japan for Amazon Prime has been on TV for a while but it still makes me smile. Click on the bottom video to watch. Let's lighten up. :)

Crazy

The news these days is becoming one whole horror story that never ends. Is everyone going crazy? 

Pray For Orlando

Please pray for Orlando (for Christina Grimmie, for the victims of the nightclub shooting, and for their families). I don't understand why there's so much hatred and violence in this world. We're all human with hearts and souls, no matter what gender, race, what beliefs we believe in, or sexual orientation. Why kill each other? 

Right Here

Right Here 

I'll always remember when I met my sweet neighbor girl. 
Every night she would come over, 
Sit in a ball,
Sitting at my window.
With the candle light making her face glow, 
she would smile at me like there was no tomorrow.  
We were the closest of friends but I wanted to be more. 
I wanted to tell her about all of the feelings that I hid inside
but I was so unsure. 
I would think, 
"How could someone ordinary like me be with someone amazing like her?" 

One night, she caught me staring.  
As if she knew what I was thinking,
she turned around to face me, 
Smiling and said: 
"I'm right here, Love. 
You're worth it, you're enough. 
Take a breath, 
Take a chance. 
I'm ready to hold your hand, 
Just tell me when. 
If you love me, 
say it aloud. 
I'll always be there for you, I vow.
You're what I dream of, 
I'm right here, I'm right here, Love."

Author Notes: Believe it or not, this poem came from a dream that I had on Friday. In the dream, the poem was actually a love song. It was an epic duet between One Direction and an unknown blonde girl. It was very sweet.

Happy Memorial Day (Thank You)

Thank you to the ones who sacrificed, 
Thank you to the ones who fought for us,
Keeping us safe.
A lot of hugs and thank you so much! 

"Lost Boy" by Ruth B

I love this song so much! The lyrics are breathtakingly beautiful.  

T.V. News

Next Fall, some of my favorite TV shows are returning, some are sadly cancelling, and there are some new shows coming on that I'm excited about. 

We're finding out what happened next! Supergirl is coming back but it's moving to the CW (KPLR 11). 

Criminal Minds is thankfully coming back for a 12th season on CBS (KMOV 4). The BAU will be hunting down the serial killer Mr. Scratch and a new agent will be introduced. It's rumored that this season is the last season but I try not to read much into internet rumors. 

   
Bones was renewed on FOX for a 12th season but this will be the last season. I think that they'll end it happily. 

I'm excited about this one! I've become quite the fanatic of the Archie comics. When I heard that a live-action TV show called Riverdale was being made for the CW, I fan-girled out! It's about Archie and his friends. It'll be a teen drama. The story-lines have been updated and are slightly darker than the comics but it's still the Archie style. 

KJ Apa will play Archie Andrews. 

Lili Reinhart will play Betty Cooper. 

Camilla Mendes will play Veronica Lodge. 

Cole Sprouse will play Jughead Jones. 

I can't wait for this show! I love Archie!!
