A small reminder......

So about two months ago my family ordered a ring for my senior year but when I design my ring it was not designed to be an ordinary ring. This ring was designed with three very important people in mind, the first thing I put on the ring was an image of an eagle. This representing my grandfather Terry Apple he was my dad’s dad. When he passed away from lung cancer a week before my tenth birthday my heart broke but it made me even more determined to graduate just for him because the one thing that he wanted to see was me graduating.

     The second thing was a symbol of the American flag, my uncle; Jake Leija was deplored on my seventeenth birthday. He will not come back tell august of 2011 the last thing I want him to miss was my graduation but he is going to anyway so he can keep fight for the freedom of America. The determination that I get from my uncle pushes me further then I’ve ever been. My uncle has made me believe that there are no boundaries and that when I find myself stuck that there is always a different way to do things and to get to the very end.

     The third thing on my ring is not a symbol but a birth stone, not my birth stone but the birth stone of my cousin that passed away from crib death when she was only four months old. This little girl was the most beautiful little baby I had ever seen. But when she passed I made it a goal to accomplish everything I believe that she would have done with her life. Make something new happen every day and to try anything that is throw my way without hesitating.

     Every time I see my ring it is a reminder of all the things I have to live up to and all the things I still have to accomplish. Such a small reminder but everything it pushes me to do is so much bigger.            





Rupert, the Good and the Bad

So I'm in Rupert right now with my best friend Hailey becuase things are not going well in the family. We are here to see grandma and to say goodbyes to her before the good lord takes her. We wish at this point that she would close here eyes and go to sleep peacefully so that she could be free of pain and suffering. This beautiful woman is one of the sweetest things I have ever met. Even though all she is doing is sleeping, the whole family is sharing memories and letting  GG (Great Grandma) know that ever thing is ok (GG is the great grandmother). In due time things will calm down and everything will be ok again. Everyone will start to let go and begin to be themselves again. The life of the women I have only known for a short while seems like it has been fufilled with her loved ones and the accomplishment she wanted to achieve. God bless GG and i hope that everyone will keep her in there prayers Glam Gram (Hailey's grandma) on the other hand is alive and well she has been the highlight of the weekend. She is so amazing and happy around everyone. She is trying to keep eveything together here, and i can personally say she is doing a fine job at it. We are still laughing and giggling togther and making even more good times. Oh yes, and the fabulous Square! This is what they call down town Rupert everything is literally in a square you drive around an ancient park and everything is so adorable. It reminds me of radiator spring from pixar cars. My favorite two spots in town, are the old car sales dealership and the old bank that is now a present time high class resturant in Rupert. My all time favorite is the amazing opera house, a real opera house! Not like the egyption theater, the old time two story vitorian looking opera houses. Now that i have summed up my weekend for you now. All in all it has been good. We are all making due with what we are going through and please remeber to pray for grandma GG.

Senior project overload

Ryan and me are supposed to be calibrating are senior project’s but well are plan we don’t have is not working. We have so much to do music to choose projects to finish and we still don’t have a time date or time we need hopefully things will start to come together. But as for now we can just panic and go with the flow of everything. We both have to have fifteen individual hours of mentor time and well between the both of us we only have one hour and ten minutes. Things have got to pick up or I think we might just both lose it.
