I LOVE being at home with my family!! I love my family!!! Even though going home to burley is a little quite because only my little brother is home right now. But going home is so peaceful and it truly rejuvenates me!!! ANNNNDDDD I get to spend time with my BEST FRIEND!!! My mommy!!!

I love my mom soooo much!!! I tell her EVERYTHING!!! She cries with me, laughs with me, laughs at me?, and is always there for me! She has helped me through some of the toughest times. And she keeps me going when I just think I can't go on. I love you mom!!

Also when I go home I get to hang out with the coolest little brother ANYone could ask for! I can safely say that Jesse is my favorite little brother (He is also my only little brother ;).) And my Daddy!!! I love my daddy very  much!! we have some really great talks and he gives me some really good advise!  I just love hanging out with him when I go home!

Crazy where life can lead us no? I have four different siblings in four different states! Kyanne is in Utah, John and Mel are in Arizona with the two cutest nephews EVER and a niece on the way!, Kyerin is in PA with her husband John and the two cutest little nieces EVER (For now..), and David is in CA going to school and sitting on the beach without me... Or is it sitting on the beach without me and going to school? who knows where his priorities lie!! ;)

Its about life, Its about fun, Its over before it has begun!

Oh! This little thing we call life. My life. This post is going to be all about me! A little "getting to know me" sort of thing. I wish I knew where to start. I guess I will start with life as I know it. I'm not sure what to think about life. Its true what they say, "the more you learn the less you know". Everyday I learn new things, and EVERYDAY I realize how little I know. They also say knowledge is power, but ignorance is bliss. Sometimes I just wish I could be blissful for my whole life!

This past year of my life has been one exciting ride. I lived in 3 different states, switched schools, worked 5 different jobs (yeah my taxes were fun, or will be because I haven't exactly done them yet), and been on an emotional roller coaster that has left me with some unpleasant scars. I have learned so much about what I want out of life, yet I feel I know nothing about life. I just want to be me so bad. But I have no idea who "me" is. I truly am a free spirit.

Well its realllllllly late and Anastasia is almost over :) so I better go to bed. More later!

Politics

I was going to make my first post about my life, but sitting here at the table with my pops talking about Libya, Japan, Mit Romney, and the price of heifers I decided to just post whats on my mind... Now I don't a lot about "politics" but I have researched a few things, and talking with my poppy also gave me some enlightenment. I have strong feelings about our government and the way it is being run right now.
I don't like Obama, shocker I know. The fact that he invaded Libya while throughout his WHOLE campaign he said he was going to be pulling troops out of the wars, this makes me like him even less. A lot less. I learned the President Grant was called "Use-less Grant" because he didn't do much during his presidencyl, in my opinion Obama has beat him at Use-less-ness.
As for Japan, I think they should be doing more to prevent this melt down. I'm just saying... Isn't Japan leading the world in Leukemia patients because of the atomic bomb already?
Presidential Elections. This means Obama only has one year left... Yay... This year I'm going to do some research before I fill out that ballot. I already read short Bio's on all the "could be" candidates, and there seems to be some good candidates out there. One person that really stood out to me (this really kinda surprised me) was Mit Romney. I approve of him this time. He has a strong economical background and I think that should be a top priority for America right now, among many other things.
Some of you who read this at first might be thinking "the price of heifers, wth?" Talking with my father this afternoon he informed me that we told japan that we didn't want to import any more of their fruit, due of course to the melt down. As retaliation to that statement Japan said that they didn't want any more of out milk. A ridiculous fight between two political governments has had a major impact on the people of southern Idaho. Interesting.
Also I have a strong belief that my vote does not count when I vote for the president, ok I know it doesn't. I just think thats ridiculous. Thats all!

Getting started :)

Yes, this is my first post of hopefully many. I always feel like writing but I haven't really had any where I have wanted to write. So hopefully with this blog I will be able to write and maybe inspire a few people! :)
