old to new.

my aunt holly had this bed frame sitting in her garage gathering dust. she offered it to me and I took it hesitantly not really knowing what to do with it. luckily, my aunt holly is a crafty aunt and told me that if I painted it black it would look pretty good. so I took her word for it and bought me some spray paint. it turned out awesome! I don't have any pictures of it in my room because, well, my room is a mess. so once I get my bed all pillowed up and decorated all cute I will show it to you. :)

post edit of memorial day..

I was thinking about it, and memorial day-as a day of remembrance- means also remember the people that are alive that you see everyday. like my uncle will. sometimes I take him for granted I feel. He drives up to draper everyday and helps our national guard manage things. he goes to scary far away places to make sure that I, sitting here in America am safe and that my rights as an American are preserved. and I definitely don't tell him thank you enough for what he does for everyone in this country. THANK YOU WILL!

I also love that I have no followers. and that no one will even ever see this. woooooot.

hopefully you sense my sarcasm.

memorial day..

when I think of memorial day, I mostly think of salem pond breakfasts. ever since I can remember we have been going to salem pond for a big family breakfast.

hashbrowns, eggs, bacon and sausage and aunt jeri's muffins. we all bring our propane and jackets and talk to each other about how life is going.

it is very nice. somewhat dirty, but nice.

every year leading up to this year has been different though. I haven't really had anyone to remember. we would go to the cemetery after breakfast every year to see the grave of someone that I had never met before. there wasn't much feeling for me. but since grandma jane past away, things have been different. as I stood by her grave, i got a warm feeling of her presence. it was something that i had never felt before. a warm feeling of, I'm here. I'm watching out for you.

now I feel that memorial day will forever be changed from the chaotic one of yesterday to the remembrance of tomorrow.

clever huh.. (:

I hope that you did some remembering too.
