The sun is out, but you can still feel the slight chill to the air. Looking out across the street there is a line of trees all lit with strands of lights that, when it gets dark, glow and make me feel warm and happy. The wind picks up slightly and you can see the trees sway. If you look towards the west, the mountains are capped with fresh, white snow. eveything feels crisp and clean. It's one of those days where you want to throw on a scarf and go walking. Not a purposeful walk, but a walk where you can take your time and just let your surroundings have your full attention. Maybe it's days like these where people walk and come up wiht brilliant ideas. It just seems like to me that if it is this peaceful and you're out in all that glorious wonder then you should have no trouble thinking of something spectacular. I would willing let my face bask in the sun and pull my coat closer as the wind swirled around me, but for know I must be in the office.
How was everyone's Christmas?
On a side note...I dyed my hair. It's a draker brown and I like it alot!

Sing His Praises
I have a busy week ahead of me, but it's gonna be a great week!
I work today, Tuesday, and only for two hours on Wednesday, and then that Wednesday afternoon and evening we are having a Christmas Eve Open House! It's going to be so fun! I'm super excited. Then of course Thursday is Christmas..we aren't actually doing a whole lot on Christmas day but that's only because we are waiting for the rest of the family to get here. We do have a service in the morning and all the church is getting together for some fellowship. Cinnamon rolls, eggnog, and coffee! It should be really nice!
After Thursday it's just waiting for Sunday to roll around when everyone gets here! YAY!
You know sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the hectic things of life and stress out because we feel like we can't handle it, but I think we really need to practice just stopping and thinking about all the wonderful things we have. We are all so blessed in so many ways. As for me, I have an amazing family, the best friends a girl could ask for, I was raised in a Christian home, and I have a great God. Yesterday in Biblestudy in our study of Isaiah we learned about standing firm in our faith. Everyone should remember that. No matter what is going on in your life, never forget your faith and God who is always watching over us and granting us so many blessings.
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" -Ephesians 6:10-18
These verses aren't exactly what I was talking about, but I've always loved them because they show what we need. They teach us how to stand firm in our faith.
Have a fantastic Monday.

talking it out
something was on my mind. It felt like a weight, but i wasn't sure if I was just overreacting or if it was something I should talk about. Then, as if an answer to a prayer, she told me to tell her what was on my mind. The gate was opened. I poured it all out to her. I spoke about what had been bothering and then I asked for advice. She willingly gave it and once again my snow white had come through for me and I felt completely relieved. it's a blessing to know someone is there to talk. Just talk.
I'm on the phone...boy troubles. I need my older sister. I call and the phone is answered. I vent and maybe even whine a little, but she doesn't care. she talks me though it and I relax and calm down. once again, a blessing.
Talk it out. Find someone who's there for you. It is an immense relief.
Thank you princess, and thank you seester.

Family Gathering!
In just about two weeks all of my family will be together to celebrate christmas and new years!! All 14 of us! It will be two years in February since we have all been together. That is just way too long! I tried to find a picture of all of us to put on here, but those are pretty rare it seems like just because we don't get to see each other all that much. But let me tell you, I am soooo excited!! Talia, Jeremy, and the girls will be arriving on the 28th, as will Elijah. Then Tyra and his family will be getting here a few days later. I cannot wait.

Going Home
I was a little nervous about posting this because I've never really written anything before that I've allowed other people to read, but I thought I would give it a go.
She walked down the road but she wasn't focused on her destination. It seemed like only yesterday that she had been sipping coffee on the balcony of the beach house with her three friends. Her mind couldn't comprehend how much had changed in a few short months. How had she gotten to this point? Why couldn't she have been content with the way things were before? Here she was working some dead end job at a hotel, all because she had thought her life wasn't good enough. Looking back now she realized how good her life had really been. Her family was amazing, her friends were always there for her, and her boyfriend had been entirely devoted to her. What had made her decide that she needed something different? She remembered the night she had stormed out of her parent's house yelling that she would never again set foot in that house again. So far she had kept her promise. It had been four months and she doubted that her parents even knew where she was. Why was she so stubborn? She missed everybody back home like crazy and knew that if she went back her parents would probably be there with open arms, but something kept stopping her from jumping in her car and heading back west. Why did she choose to escape to Nevada? There was nothing here but desert that stretched on for miles and miles. She longed for the ocean, the smell of the salt, the waves breaking against her feet. She had thought she had left because no one understood her but now she realized it was because she didn't understand herself. her thoughts were confused and she was more lonely then she had ever been. She wondered if her friends would ever forgive her for just walking away and then her thoughts strayed to Miles. He was the perfect guy and he had loved her. She had loved him back, or at least she had thought she did. Over the past weeks she questioned whether it would have been so easy to leave if she had really loved him. She didn't even say goodbye. what kind of person does that? lately it felt as though everything was collapsing around her. Life could be so unfair. But wait..she had done this. She couldn't blame anyone or anything for what had happened. Those months before she exploded and left were hard. She had felt like she was in a trap but she didn't know why. even now she couldn't put a finger on what had gone wrong. Mayve something was wrong with her. She missed Miles the most. It had been a long time since she had been single and she realized now that she had taken Miles for granted. A guy like that isn't easily found and she had been lucky to have him. Why was she only realizing this now? Maybe if she had thought things through before she left she would have come up with all of this, but now it was too late. Or was it? Why oculdn't she just pick up her phone and call her parents or Miles, or even one of her friends? The thought was appealing to her, but she also wondered if she could handle the disappointment she would hear in their voices. Just the thought made her want to weep. How much had she hurt them?Doubt filled her as she thought about what they would think of her. What if they didn't even want to see or hear from her? The idea of her parents rejecting her pierced her heart and thinking about Miles not wanting to see her was even worse. How could she have left? Not until this moment did she realize how much she needed them all. she was slowly falling apart. It was as if she was being ripped apart from the inside out. she didn't knwo if she could take it anymore. She left work early with the excuse that she wasn't feeling well. This wasn't a lie considering she felt as though a million weights were being pressed upon her from all directions. She had thought she would find solace in her apartment, but looking at her scantily furnished living room, it only made her realize how alone she really was. She curled up on the couch and wept. It felt as though she was drifting away. Her tears and trembling brought weariness and she slowly drifted to sleep. while she slept, she dreamed. They were filled with her family and the happy times they all used to have together. the ringing of the phone jolted her awake. She wasn't sure who would be calling because only her work had that number. she reached for the phone and answered wiht a curious, "hello?" The voice that replied was like an answer to a prayer. all it said was, "lacey?" she took a few calming breaths and then, "mom?! how did you get this number?" "we tracked it down, oh baby we've been so worried!" They had been worried...suddenly things didn't seem so bad. "I thought you would never want to talk to me again." "We never gave up on you." Those words were all it took. Lacey was going home.

Christmas Season
I told Ashlei that I would write a blog about the parade of lights that we attended on Saturday night so I will now do that now.
This is our second year attending and I still like it just as much as I did last year.
We got off of the lightrail and slowly followed the crowd down the street to where the parade would be taking place. There was excitement in the air. Apparently it was not just me that thrilled to see the sparkling lights and feel that chill in the air which could mean nothing other then that Christmas was coming. As we searched for a good place to stand, we were jostled by the crowd, but I don't think anyone minded. We found a fence that was unoccupied and we quickly claimed it. The anticipation grew as we waited for the first sound of music and the shimmering lights to start moving up the street. It finally came. Our ears were greeted with a song that filled all of us with joy. Nothing beats the sounds and sights of the Christmas season. Some may think the parade a little cheesy but everytime I see it all I think about it magic. I love the lights, the music, the look on everyone's faces, and just knowing that this is such a special time of year. I was texting Ashlei during the parade and I told her how much I wanted her there to share it with me. I was trying to desribe what it felt like to be there and I couldn't really do it so I just said it was like magic. Her response was, "I can't even imagine."
Now it's time for a little christmas cheer with the survey everybody seems to be doing!
Egg nog or hot chocolate?
I would have to say hot chocolate. I do love eggnog, but I would still much rather be sipping my coco.
Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree?
Well in all the movies I've seen, when santa leaves a present under the tree it is most definitely wrapped.
Do you hang mistletoe?
I don't think we ever have actually. I think mistletoe is pretty fun but it could also make things pretty awkward. =)
When do you put your decorations up?
Right after Thanksgiving! That's when the christmas season starts in our house. I'm with the Ashlei, no christmas music until after thanksgiving has passed.
Favorite holiday memory as a child?
I think my favorite is when we put up our christmas tree. When all of us still lived at the house we would excitedly put the first christmas music and joyously put up the tree. There was nothing better! Sometimes mom would even be making cookies and we could take breaks form the tree to decorate sugar cookies.
When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I never believed in Santa Claus so I guess I always knew the truth.
How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
We decorate it with both colored and white lights. Then we simply put all the ornaments we've been collecting through the years on it. It's beautiful.
Snow! Love it or dread it?
I do love snow! I'll admit that it does get pretty annoying, but I still think there's something magical and gorgeous about it.
Do you remember your favorite gift?
Wow that's pretty hard. I've had so many good ones. I would have to say that my digital camera from my dad is up there though. where would I be without that??
What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you?
Celebrating the brith of my Lord.
What is your favorite holiday dessert?
Mmmm fudge puddles!! So delicious.
What is your favorite holiday tradition?
I like that when we open presents we go one by one and not all at once. I think it makes it more special.
What tops your tree?
I don't think anything tops our tree actually. The tree is too tall, there's no room.
Which do you prefer, giving or receiving?
I love both! The looks on people's faces when they open your gift is priceless, but hey what girl doesn't like to receive presents?
What is your favorite Christmas song?
I would have to agree with many people and say O Holy Night. It's actually on right now!! Another favorite is I'll Be Home For Christmas , oh and Thankful by Josh Groban. (see previous post)
Candy canes?
Duh! I love them.
Favorite Christmas movie?
I really like How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey and you can't go wrong with It's A Wonderful Life. I have been told that I really need to see Elf. Can you believe I haven't yet?
I hope all of you are having a wonderful Christmas season!
XOXOXO

Thankful
There is a song that at this moment I am in love with. The music is absolutely gorgeous and the words are fantastic. You might have heard it. It's 'Thankful" by the wonderful Josh Groban.
I'm not smart enough to figure out how to put a video on here but I'll give you a link to where you can listen to it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44ZeNXqEuTQ
And of course I have to put my favorite lyrics from it.
"So for tonight we pray for what we know can be. And on this day we hope for what we still can't see. It's up to us to be the change And even though we all can still do more there's so much to be thankful for."
Beautiful

A 13 Hour Car Ride and David Cook
Hello Lovely Bloggers!
Once again it's been a little while since I last blogged but I'm making up for that now!
This past weekend my family and I took the thirteen hour trip to Phoenix, Arizona for a chiropractic seminar. Trust me that's a very long time in a car, especially when there are three people in the backseat. The thing that my family always does when we go on road trips is listen to music. I mean we blast it and sing along! =) We had recently bought the premier David Cook cd because we had taken a liking to him when he was on American Idol. I have to say that his cd is pretty fantastic. I love it! His cd and many others definitely makes the ride go easier. We got funny looks when we would walk into a gas station and be singing out loud. HAHA such things as "I'm not gonna come down, down off of these clouds. Heros come and go but you're still standing. You teach me to rise up, to open my eyes up!" Song two off the David Cook cd. =)
Anyways when we finally made it to our destination it was already pretty late so we just got to the hotel room and crashed so that we would be ready for an early start the next day. The seminar was on Saturday from 8-5 and then on Sunday from 8-3. I have to say it was a really good seminar. We learned alot and it will hopefully give our clinic the explosion it needs. Keep praying for that please!
Phoenix has some interesting scenery and me, being camera obsessed as I am, definitely took some pictures. Here are some for you now!
Our Signature car picture.
The sun was doing really cool things to Jerusha's hair.
Where the seminar took place.
A pretty sunset!
Jerusha and I enjoyed the pool!!
Dad being a goof. haha
Those cacti are crazy.

On This Cold Morning....
Ok ok I know I've been really bad about blogging lately. I'm sorry about that. The sad thing is i don't even really have an excuse.
So my blogs are probably looking a little bi-polar. I have one about snow and then I'm complaining it's too hot and this one is about a cold morning. =) The weather here is crazy.
This morning it is only 25 degrees. It's not snowing but the sky gets this look strange color when it looks like it might snow. It looks kind of white and almost lights up the world even though it's still dark outside. Kind of like this...
Well on a cold morning like this I didn't really feel like having cereal with ice cold milk. Brrr! Instead I'm making myself a wonderfully warm bowl of oatmeal!! Yum!
How are all of you today? What's your weather like? Have a fabulous morning and day everyone!

It's finally here. This morning my dad came into my room while I was still in bed and said, "Look out your window." I walked over to my window and looked out to see a winter wonderland. I'm not quite sure if I'm ready for snow yet, but there is something so beautiful about it. Don't you think?
Isn't it lovely?
Isn't it lovely?
Hope all of you have a fantastic Friday and a fabulous weekend!

Picture Time
On Saturday Jerusha and I went for a little walk. This is a walk we often take actually. There's a bike path that follows this river or creek or whatever you want to call it, and it's really pretty. Even though we often follow this path we always seem to find something new and different. I took my camera with me and since it's been a little while since I've posted lots of pictures i thought I would do that for you now.
The pictures might be a little random just because we saw some kind of weird things. =)
It was beautiful out though and I started with this picture!
I always manage to get Jerusha in at least one picture. =)
I was actually rather thrilled with this picture. I thought it came out really cool.
We have some pretty cool bridges around our house and they make for great picture opportunities.
Ok this is reallt random, but while we were walking, Jerusha and I, saw this building that we had never ever seen before which was weird because we don't know how we missed it. Anyways we had to cross the river to get to it which was actually a little treacherous, but oh well. So this buidling seems to have been the victim of a fire and everything was a little creepy. Kind of like something out of a horror film you know? Jerusha and I kind of felt like we shouldn't be there but at the same time there were no fences or anything keeping you away.
There were even burnt fire hoses and a fireman's uniform that looked like it had been scorched.
Then we saw this painting on the side of a building and it was a memorial to firemen who had died in the fire. Ok how sad is that? The picture isn't very good because it was kinf of from a distance.
The creepiest thing though was this doll we found outside the building. It was getting dark too so I think that made worse.
As you can see it's all burned and melted. How sad.

Moving on....the walk was ended with another beautiful sight!
