It's Time For Africa

It's here... this week I leave for Africa.  I am so excited and even more excited I get too experience this with my sister.  I will miss talking to my family and friends.  But I am SO ready to go and loose myself in the service of others!!!

{Sooo... cute right, and I get to spend two and a half weeks with them.  It is going to be magical.}

Taking it To Heart

A heart is not a play thing,
A heart is not a toy,
but if you want it broken,
Just give it to a boy.

Boys they like to play with things
To see what makes them run,
But when it comes to kissing
They do it just for fun.

Boys never give their hearts away
They play us girls for fools,
They wait until we give our hearts
And then they play it cool.

You will wonder where he is at night
You will wonder if hes true,
One moment you will be happy.
One moment you will be blue.

If you get a chance to see him
Your heart begins to dance
Your life revolves around him,
Theres nothing like romance.

And then it starts to happen,
You worry day and night
You see, my friend, you're losing him
It never turns out right.

Boys are great, though immature
The price you pay is high,
He may seem sweet and gorgeous
But remember, hes a guy.

Don't fall in love with just a boy
That takes alot of nerve.
You see, my friend, you need a man
To get what you deserve.

So when you think that you're in love,
Be careful if you can
Before you give your heart away
Make sure that hes a man.

You Never Know....

Life is full of surprises... I think I say this A-LOT.

But it is true you never know what to expect and what is going to happen.  Regardless of how much planning you do.  Like take for instance my 4th of July weekend.  My guy came up to go camping with my family.  He made sure he made it up here.  He started driving and his car broke down, so he FLEW here.  How sweet is that?

But... alas as sweet as he is/ it wasn't meant to be, we broke up.  It sucks.   I am sad.  I wasn't expecting it. at all, I really saw all of this going somewhere.  And now I am left a little confused and helpless. 

But everything happens for a reason, only my Heavenly Father knows where I am supposed to be and why things like this happen too me. 

So I am trying to learn from this, because I truly believe that every person that enters your life is for a purpose whether to help you grow or for you too help them grow.  I am trying to learn lessons from this experience and grow into a better person. 

But until I realize the lessons I needed to learn I am going to keep busy I have an amazing family and great friends.  Who have already been their for me and are keeping me way busy.  I love them and appreciate their support and love.

So now I am going to go out on Summer 2011 with a bang!!
Who's with me?
