it’s much harder to be patient
and i’m trying to be kind
when i’ve got this sense of envy
taking up my piece of mind

but i know that truth is stronger
than the things i say or do
and it perserveres much longer
than what i’ve waited for you (more…)

Well I woke up Saturday morning and wasn’t too surprised to see a winter wonderland out my window. When I was younger, I was absolutely obsessed with snow, winter, and of course Christmas. Winter was my FAVORITE season. I’d wait for the forcast to predict snow, and I’d sit in my backyard with my toboggan, in my snowsuit just waiting for those first few flakes to fall.

I remember being about five years old, and praying that as a gift God would make it snow on my birthday every year. Every year since (20 for those counting) it has snowed. So, as I said, I wasn’t too surprised. (more…)

Well I am SUPER excited because yesterday I won tickets to the Junos for this Sunday in Calgary. It was a contest put on by the Bounce 91.7fm, which I don’t even remember entering! Jered took Saturday night off to take me out for dinner, now we’re going to drive down to calgary that night and then get all dolled up and go out to the Juno awards Sunday night. (more…)

whisper to me tonight,
and tell me am i gonna be alright
just let loose of this sorrow that sits inside

sing me a lullaby,
so i can have sweet dreams tonight
help me remember it’s not always
so black or white (more…)

i’m turning twenty five years old next week.

usually i’m really good about birthdays, getting older, etc. but this year i’m a little leary about the big 2-5. aren’t i supposed to have accomplished a lot of what i want to accomplish by this age? i feel like i’m just getting started! i’m going to make a point to use this 25th year of my life to do things that i’ve always dreamed of doing, but never done. i’m finally going to finish a cd. i’m going to travel to a place i’ve never been, and maybe even try to go on a little tour. maybe only 3 or 4 dates, but not just shows in edmonton. i’m going to embrace twenty-five and make it a good year. yeah, okay i feel better now.

you picked me up from school today
you’re always waiting when i come in late
that’s just like you

you’re always there when i need your help
you know me better than i know myself
that’s just like you (more…)
