You Have Stolen my Heart

One day, last fall, Madison and I went to see Dashboard Confessional...sigh...

First you should know that yes, this video is almost 9 minutes long, and yes, you can unfortunately hear the vocals of my sister and I, and probably a few moronic comments, BUT, it is SO worth watching! My sister got me hooked on Dashboard Confessional and now I cannot stop.

Not only because I LOVE them lyrically, and Chris is awesome eye candy, but because it reminds me so much of my sister who I love dearly! Madison, please don't kill me...The people need to see.

And now a poem...

Meet one of my favoritest guys in the world...Mark Bramwell...aka my daddy

He sent me this when I was on my mission and having a rough time. I'd like to share it with you.

"Don't Quit"
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your traveling seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't ever quit.

Life's race is full of twists and turns,
As everyone of us finally learns.
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won, had he stuck it out.
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;
You may succeed, if you give it a go.

Success is failure, turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
You can never tell how the race will end;
A victory may lie just around the next bend.
So stay the course when you're the hardest hit;
It's when things seem worse that you must not quit.

I needed a little inspiration today, and thought maybe you might too.

I am a Virgin...

In many things...but blogging is no longer part of that. Enjoy.
