Only one line keeps running through my mind all day everyday for the past week::

He Lives! And while He lives I'll sing!

This has been running through my mind because I know that My Redeemer Lives!

for sure

So today I came to some conclusions about the boy I someday will marry in the Temple::

-He'll love me and love me and love me with his whole whole whole heart.
-My flaws will be beautiful, not annoying.
-The little things about me will make his heart skip a beat and pitter patter quite fast.
-He'll give me flowers, and remember my birthday because those are my favorite things. Flowers and Birthdays.
-He'll Love the Gospel and the #1 priority is getting his family back to the Celestial Kingdom. with me of course. :)
-To all of my crazy ideas he'll laugh and say, "Bring it on!"
-He'll call me sweetheart and be a firm believer in chivalry.
-Don't worry, we'll be in True Love. Because for me, true love is the kind of love that you would never want to risk losing, that if they are gone, you just might die.
Someday I will be truely in love with a young man who loves me too. It'll be grand. For Sure.
love, Maddie Violet

um... help?

So today, I woke up with one ear normal and the other plugged. It has screwed me up all day and now my ear is echoing everything. Do you know how annoying that is?! It got me so off balance that I even felt as though I was going to be rather sick. nausea. Not good. Well, I decided to go home for lunch because I was starving. I drive home. I get home, eat lunch, and play with my niece. Well at about 12:40 I leave my house. I am driving, everything going perfectly fine when my car dies right at the 4 way stop before the high school. Mostly I just sat saying, "This would happen to me. Why today?" Luckily some nice young men saw my troubles and were kind as to offer to push my car back to the side of the road and then offer me a ride. My mother was on her way to get me. She arrived and my sister drove me to the high school. I went into the office because I was already late for Mr. Deans government and I didn't want to miss anything hence the test I have on Thursday. My lovely aunt linda gave me a note for class. I hand it to Mr. Deans who immediately crumples it up and throws it away. I was sad because I had just experienced slight trama, "No! Mr. Deans! My car broke down right at the intersection!" being the lovel teacher he is, he replied by saying, "Oh sweetheart, you're already distraught. Go ahead and sit down while I excuse that for you." He was so concerned about how I was doing and he told me to report back with my car problems when I find out. I told him I didn't even cry when it happened and he was very happy for me. Thank goodness for an understanding teacher! Today has been an interesting day. Happy Happy Birthday to my dear friend Brandon who is in the jungles of Brazil serving a mission! Yay! I hope you all have a good day tomorrow... nothing like my super weird one today. Hahaha, life is so spectacular.

choir

I love choir. So much. So much. I love all of our songs. Each one, except for Jericho. Not my favorite. It sounds like some tribal ritual or something. Anyway... I love it. Every minute warms my soul just a little more.
love, maddie violet

I kind of love today... just a little. :)

Today I had the first day of my new job. I rocked it! Yay! It was nice to have a good time at work and come home not smelling like food. :) So the for sale sign went up today... so weird, but I'm ready for a new adventure. Bring it on! I am very excited for the 17th. One, because it's my brothers birthday and he will now be a teenager. To Bridger... my sincerest wishes of best luck to you throughout your teenage life. I hope it's better to you then it has been to me. AND, the blood drive at the high school. I'm so happy to be able to give back in that way.

Here are some things I really love today::
Good Books... (that's mostly all the time, but whatever..)
Nice Text Messages.
Really sweet Old Ladies.
Pink Lemonade from taco with extra extra ice.
My car.
Choir choir choir.
Mr. Deans.
Getting good grades on a test I didn't fully study for.

What do you love today?

bittersweet...

Tonight was my last night at Taco Amigo. I am sad about this. I won't get to see all of my crazy amazing Taco Amigo-ins! I didn't want to quit because I liked it and we always have fun learning about everyone and talking while we work. Sadly, I am growing up which means I have to pay for a lot more then I'd like. I now have a new job at a call center, but I am excited for that. I am glad that I will gain more experience from it and I'm glad I get to work with Sophie still and also I get to work with Mariah. To all of my Taco Amigos, Love ya! I'll come in and visit!

love, Maddie

life. just keeps throwing things.

Here's what I think::
Running through my mind today has been my choir music from chamber. It just goes through all of the songs and goes and goes and goes. Good thing I love all of them. :) Choir saves me... and my magnificent book Ophelia. A quite wonderful read that I highly recommend to any girl who fancies a romance kindling between forbidden lovers. It is written very well by Lisa Klein. It is actually the story of Hamlet through the eyes of Ophelia. I am moving the end of this month. There will be 15 years of my life packed up into those boxes. You do what you have to at different stages of life. I feel good though, because I continue to face my worst fears even though 2 of them have already struck me; my parents divorced, and I'm moving. I just quit Taco Amigo and I am now working at a call center. I have been a little stressed about that, but I think Monday will go well... I hope so anyway. I got a B+ on Deans's test, which is good because I was scared out of my wits. I now do my finances and my family finances. Talk about growing up, eh? May 3 is just making my heart beat a little faster and every wednesday a little better. I love school still. And... there are so many nice girls who attend PGHS. I was given several comments today. So nice of people!

love, Maddie Violet

hallways, papers, hot outfits.

Mr. Deans. There is no other way to describe that man. However, I truly do love his Government and Citizenship class. So amazing. I actually listen and pay attention. He's magic, I swear. This year I have already visited the dear Mrs. Buck and Mrs. Holdaway... the librarians. They wished me a nice day, which I think is rather thoughtful of them. While sitting in choir, Mariah and I can't help but laugh when hearing," La la la la la la la la...." with a quite womanly sound erupting from it. Good times. Good times. I have already transfered my B3 class, twice. Yes, that's sad, but I'm an office aide now and that's grand. I'm brushing up on my easy hymn book skills because tomorrow I will volunteer to play the piano. I have already written a paper on Animal Rights and plan on making a difference for someone this year, without being too obvious. Don't know who, but in high school, anyone could use a friendly smile or anonomous treat. Ice cream was the subject of Animal Science. So fun. Four people in my Creative writing class wrote a description of me because I am "an interesting person." haha, please, be in my life for a day. Miss Gallagher. Amazing. I love school. I do. I love learning. So someone please place the cone of shame around me, but I love school!

love, Maddie Violet

i was born to tell you i love you.
isn't that a song already?
