On sorrow

Matthew 5:4
Blessed are they that ^amourn: for they shall be ^bcomforted.


This scripture comes to mind tonight. Yesterday a dear friend, peer, and great example in my life was stuck by a great tragedy. She has been faced with the loss of a long awaited baby. 
The baby was named Ella, and she lived for only four hours after her birth. My heart and Prayers go out to this Friend and her husband. I can't imagine losing a child or what the heartbreak they must be feeling.
      I'm only 20 years old but in my life I have learned there are few things more precious the a long awaited child. I have known many women in my life who have not been blessed with the opportunity to have children or have difficulty getting pregnant. My heart goes out to all these women, I know that because of our Heavenly fathers great plan of happiness these women, who have lost children or were unable to have any, will be blessed in the next life with raising those sweet spirits. 
For know I will continue to pray for them to be comforted.

To Amy: YOU ARE LOVED! There are few other people I hold in higher regard than you, you are an incredible example of how to be a faithful daughter of God.

Do you ever....

Do you ever feel as though you are on the verge of something that could be amazing and change your life for the better...
 or
 Something that could possibly push you over the edge into an ever widening chasm of depression and despair where there are goblins waiting to eat your eyes out of your skull?




Do I sound cryptic?

hmm well here is a cool picture I stumbled upon

What once was lost!

I found my camera!

That is all. Pictures will soon arrive.


(o he, it was in my shopping cart. in my room)

*WARNING DORK CONTENT*

I have netflix. It's amazing I love watching stuff instantly on the computer. I admit it, I'm freaking addicted to entertaining movies and t.v. shows. I love all the normal one's the "cool"people watch such as the office and psych, maybe even a little Monk. But there's one show that reveals the dorky-ness in me.

That show is...Xena Warrior Princess...I know! YOU all thought I was so cool! 

 I'm now on the 6th and final season, yes I've watched all 6 seasons, and I have enjoyed every episode! 

Okay, most of the episode's... 80% at least.

Go Xena!

Letters to my dog

This is my dog:

Fancy is a marvelous mutt. My dad brought her home after he found her on the side of the road on the Reservation, she was so ugly no one we tried to give her to would take her. So I "traded" her for my 11th birthday.

She is a sweet timid beast and we have been together for the last 9 years. Sometimes she doesn't listen to me, so I have decided to send her official letters so she can't ignore me anymore

Here is my first letter:


Dear Fancy,

Please stop sleeping on my pile of clean clothes.
The extra bed in my room is not for you and the clothes on it are not to make "your bed" more cozy.
Also while I have your attention, stop breaking into the house when I leave, I've been locking the back door not because I'm mad at you but because you can no longer be trusted.

Love, Your Owner,

Amber

Advice

*Insert some witty, deep, life changing words of wisdom here*

Sorrow tinged with joy

Joy first.

I get to go see Harry Potter 7 (part numero uno) tonight!!!!!!

Sorrow now.

I was excited to receive a call from a favorite person to go camping tonight with more of my favorite people. and go quadding tomorrow.

But I can't go!!!


Why? because I have to work tomorrow.
I am really upset, I haven't been camping in at least 3 years.

*insert sad face here*

Frustrations.

You may have notice a lack of pictures in my recent posts. Your probably asking yourself "why is Amber, the best photographer ever, teasing us with this montage of pictureless posts?
 I will tell you why world.
The reason for the lack of pictures, so beautiful they make you cry and laugh at the same time, is because I misplaced my camera charger.

But don't panic!
 Low and behold this glorious day of November 16 2010:
 I FOUND MY CHARGER!

I was so excited I ran to fetch my camera so I could immediately begin charging it.
But where did I leave my camera?
The living room?
Nope not there,
Ah the kitchen table of course!
NO, not here ether,
Oh the office, it must be there!
Hmm...Not in the office...

OH NO! This could only mean one thing....

Its some where in my room....




I can't believe I would put something as important as my camera in my bedroom! How could I have been so careless? It could be sucked into the black hole that is my closet, lost in the fire hazard desk full of old papers or eaten my the alligator under my bed!


WHAT EVER WILL I DO?!


5 bucks to whoever can find it.

I love...

The perfectly wonderfully random people I get to encounter in my life adventures.

New favorite word

Pogonophobia

It's the fear of beards.

School and such nonsense.

Today being Thursday means that I have my Cultural Anthropology class. You would think it would be interesting right? wrong! Well wrong if your me, and if you have the attention span of and 8 year old...


Speaking of short attention spans, this is my new favorite time waster! Forget wastebook...I mean facebook, check out this web site and start wasting time the right way!


Okay, so yeah thats all for now.

snuggie love

I bought a snuggie today. Could this be love?

Changes

I realize it has been a (really really) long time since I posted anything. But some big changes are coming and i feel the need to share.
     The biggest most  difficult change comes tomorrow. Heather, my very best and greatest friend leaves for Basic training for the United States Army. I will miss her terribly, she is a close confidant and highly entertaining.
Also I go back to work tomorrow. I'm looking forward to that distraction. In two weeks I go back to school as a full time student. Exciting? Yes. Terrifying? So very terrifying... but i will survive and learn to speak French!
(French 101 is one of my classes)

I think thats all for now. In the future I will be better at posting updates.
