Random Video of the Week: Facebook Song

Midnight
So still, so dark
Blanketing earth with silent reverence
I rest in the solitude
Find strength in the calm
Words become unnecessary
Making room for thought
A sound breaks the silence
It is my breathing.

The Hardest Part

The hardest part
Is laid in gold
Surrounded by
Joy untold
A hedge of thorns
Guards the gem
Like every rose
Has its stem
Rainbows form
Only after rain
Love is laughter
Love is pain
Hurt and healing
Go hand in hand
Those who once fall
The stronger stand
Behind every cloud
Is a silver lining
Just like the fire
Does the refining
A friend's arrow
Cuts deep the heart
Loving them back
Is the hardest part.

Zoe: almost 10 months!

Michelle (my sister-in-law) started a blog recently, so we've been getting lots of Zoe pictures. Check them out: Arizona Rhineharts I get to see these pudgy little cheecks in a month and a half! :)

Lunch and Bus Rides

My birthday was pretty relaxed and fun. Mom, Anna, and I went out to lunch with Emily because she couldn't be there for dinner. It was SO delicious.

Then we had our family dinner that night.

Then this past Saturday my best friend Natalie took me to the mall as my present.

Since neither of use have our license we took the bus. :) I call this the converse square of love. <3 It was a good time.

She Turns 14

The baby of the family turned 14 last week.
Here Anna is putting good use to her presents. All at the same time. (I mean, who doesn't drink tea with chore gloves on while reading a book?) Getting some last rays of Summer.

All of the sisters except one.
