*It all happened one day when i was with my brother in his truck driving down the highway one sunny morning. Something about that day made me realize just how special my life and all the people in it really are. Our arms were hanging lazily out the window and the radio was playing some of our favorite rock songs. He and i were just talking and laughing about all the crazy things we could do in our futures and how awesome it would be if those things actually happened. Thinking back on that now,it seems as though it all played through in slow motion. In fact all of my best memories seem that way,but the worst vice i have is the fact that i always manage to take things for granted,and i never know a good thing until it's gone. Though one positive thing i have managed to realize in time is my brothers and sister. I know now after much trial and much more error,that they are all that is best in me. If it were not for them and all of their wonderful weirdness,i would not be the strange but complete person that i have become now. Even when we all have our disagreements,i try never to forget what their being in my life means and how i am effected by it. The same would also have to go for my closest and dearest friends. Though there aren't many,i know that they are as big a part of my life as my family is. Since my life began i have had enough memories to last twelve lifetimes,and every single one of them incredible in it's own way. It's all the little things that most people would forget,things like giving someone a band aid,changing the oil,sitting on the porch drinking coffee on a chili morning,phone conversations on Saturday night,listening to the radio,or just spending time with someone you care about. They say to live and learn,but i have done so much more than just that. I have loved and been loved,and that means the world to me*....
With all my heart to yours,
laugh,love,live free,and sing.

Aww... Good post! It made me think about my life, too. Life really is a blessing, isn't it? And today is one of those days where I'm especially glad to be alive! I'm pretty sure I just aced my semester exam in Spanish and I know that I aced my tests in English V! Woohoo! Besides all this, Gabe is comin' back in about 16 days from Basic! I'm lovin' life and lovin' the people in it! Back atcha, Tori! :-)
Hey, guess what? I just installed two more speakers in my room! I'm now the proud owner of 4.0 surround sound! Lol. Oh, and I almost couldn't find your blog, cause you deleted your comments off of mine. :-( Why, Why, Why? That was how I got to your blog to begin with. This distresses me, Tori. Lol.
Oooh,please don't be distressed,I really didn't meean to cause an uproar. But I have to confess that I did intentionaly delete those comments for *ahem* reasons...
But anyway I was actually going to tell you that I drew another pic of you. I'm a little embarrased,but I drew it just because I had nothing else I wanted to draw.
And also before I forget,you have GOT to let me come over and hear those new speakers! I'll be broken hearted and fall away into nothingness if I can't...
*gazes longingly at thin air* LOL.
Hey, good post! aren't siblings awesome?? I don't know what I'd do without mine. your post reminded me of my brother Jim and I in his rusty old pickup truck, laughing and talking, listening to oldies. good times. good times...
Thanx jo! Yea,they are awsome. Though I have to say that even though I don't pic favorites,I sometimes tend to veer towards my oldest brothers more than others. I guess it's just that good old Big brother-Little sister bond that no one can seem to figure out...
I would have to agree with that older sibling thing. :) my older siblings and I have always gotten along better.
