Much to Blog about nothing...

well hello! its been time since i wrote here, and i saw someones blog last night and it was very detailed i saw i had NO EXCUSE notttt to blog! i have so much to tell you all its CRAZZZYYY so many things have happened to me and my family over the past few months, so i can finally catch up with you all! so im gonna do MINI blogs...i have a whole list of things to tell you all! BEX

Are you taking the "MIC"?

Hello all you Bloggers and readers...its me! oh no surprise there then? anyway! larisa asked me to record the events happened last week...so i have been composing what i would say...all in all IT WAS AMAZING! i heard many comments like "this has been a great night, are they doing it again?!" i wasnt sure but i heard it from at least 10 ppl maybe more. i got there quite early to help the guys set up...but i didnt think i did too much but it was nice to be settled there before the crowds came i even got to test out the MICS! maybe thats why they where broke ;) (light goes on in my head) haha

i think it started late but we did it properly by a prayer kindly done by lukie! always willing and helpful that dude...but he predicted it hehe but the night got underway with Ryan starting with his songs...and that nicely brought people into the main hall while we where all trying to find our feet for the night...i think everyone felt awkward at first but i wanted to get up and just get the songs over with...id spent a fair few days worrying myself i would mess up maybe i did but i didnt care because i got to share my talent and ryan really supported me...i had cheers but they where kind of a blur! the last song was a special tribute to my nephew that died in child birth and i sang for him...i felt i connected to him in my own lil way...and as i told ryan infront of others...i was sooo thankful he put my words to his music and so we worked together and i had many people say they loved it after i was sooo happy...and my mum came along and shed a lil tear...i know it meant alot...i just wish i could record it for my brother and his wife! i think that will happen in time. i sure hope so...

well after i got down off the stage i was impressed with lukes rendition of "smoke on the water" and his random YEAHHHHH in between cords hehe i had sooo many laughs that night and i also loved it when hayden got up and sang all his respective songs i was sooo impressed...

we had one corner of the room covered in papers of all the songs that where being done that night. it was fun to see all the pure talent in progress! i enjoyed the jam sessions in collision with the kareoke "bar" behind the screens and some of us bopped along to "dont go breaking my heart" i obviously didnt sing enough because i went to do the kareoke sessions and a good group followed while luke was leading that part...

we had a great food spread...sorry had to comment on it! heheh luke did that too goodness me! hes amazing! in fact Ryan and Luke did the majority...but hayden put alot of behind the scenes work into it and even though scott ran away i heard him practise his guitar song and he was really good...i enjoyed the hot pizza who brought those?

next (im going on my experience of the night) i peered over the screens eating my chocolate chip cookie provided by heather and gillian! thank you my loves...and i saw a whole crowd of people included Ryan...Tom...Hayden...and Laryn playing together it was an impressive sight all the YSA buffs playing their master instrument i was thumbs up the whole time...juggling my cookie and camera in my hands and trying not to fall off my chair however i captured a few good photos!

i was accompanied by good friends and i also got to chat to chris jackson and got to take photoswith him im sad he didnt get to perform!!! also spoke to el guapo and exchange high 5's what a guy! he was hiding from the camera i exclaimed WHY YOUR GOOD LOOKIN BOY!! hehe i got to hear some of Ben Balla which was nice and calming, i also heard charlie fishers rendition of alanis morisette and "i said hey whats going on?" i forgot the artists name...but i love the song...my fave female singer of the night was ME no thats a big lie it was in actual fact kate and KISS ME! you rock my dear!!! i was so happy i got to hear her! along with all the applause Chris Jackson got excited and went to actually kiss kate on the cheek AWWW i think he got excited and asked someone out...but yes i wont go there...but we had nice couples sharing the moment together and i think someone got together with someone...love was in the open mic air! i could feel it :D

amongst all the lovely comments...the beautiful singing and the sociable atmosphere the efforts of all involved and the complimentary event made it work, because we PRAYED! haha its true though and people had been ripping their hair out for weeks ryan stayed calm through it all so i have him to thank!!! so with many screams WE WANT ANOTHER ONE!

i dont know if i missed anyone but if i did im sorry i loved all the music...and got to see old friends and met new people! it was a night im glad i didnt miss out on, I LOVED IT! THANK YOU TO THE BRAIN WHO SUGGESTED IT! u ROCK!

Hope you all enjoy the photos! Click to make them bigger...More photos are to come because my blog is being silly

Happy REJECTION day?

I took this photo like last week...and i dont want you to focus on WHO it is because there where just messing about...but i want you to think about whats happening she just got a rose and face away...his face is all screwed up...yes we have seen it all in our time rejection. so guess this blog could be anyone whos ever been or is alone on this valentines day! she will be thinking why did he pick me, and he will think just say yes! or she may think...hes stalking me...or she could be thinking many things...just not about you...then on the other hand he may be jealous she got a rose from someone else and he didnt think of it before. Shocking isnt it? but my YSA friends its not a time for gloom. i guess just think of all the good things...and maybe good luck next year. well thats what i got told anyway! Hey im having fun i hope you all do this day...whatever your doing :D and hope you never have to face rejection again!

Its my life and ill live it like i want to!!

Well a good week so far i guess ive figured more about myself, my own strengths and weaknesses alot and i had the scripture AGAIN ring words in my heart...Ether 12:27 - "make weaknesses into strengths...i also thought i rely on others opinion of me alot to satisfy my confidence level...a big light went off in my head...What does God think of me? so i prayed and found out...like i did when i was 14 and i had the picture of christ in my 2 hands...i found he loved me then and it was ever stronger this past week...i know its my life i can live it like i want to...have fun and such, just do the things that are good for me...what the Lord desires for me.

so im happy ive made self discoveries...thanks to people in my life! i guess they are the catalysts in my life! :) im so happy for my journey...because everyone is different, and we have no right to judge because everyone has different worries and hopes fears, joys etc! i jsut wish i understood them all! I love everyone...i guess thats why you could say i get on with so many i look for the good in them and love them the whole person not just the good but the whole package...well if i didnt then who would love me for i have many imperfections!! but there you go its now in blog history! ill leave you with more of my fave things...PHOTOS

LOVE YA ALL BEX

i loved also that we had sumo wrestling going on! my v good friends ryan and markie decided to have a go while it was quiet i was VERY IMPRESSED! when the assistants kept jumping on the suits i thought they had got fed up of us YSA and wanted to beat us up...but no it was to compress the suits ahhh...good memories! so i was like oooh let me take a photo!

LV bex

~*Winter all over again!*~

New Year, NEW ME!

well well well! it is indeed a new year! and its already the 7th of jan amazing!

ive been focussing on goals for myself which are very challenging but i think they will be worth the work. ive tried to balance them in the different areas of my life. spiritual physical and mental so it will be fun to try and do them all! but yeah just like christmas time new year is very commercialised. and the most thing they go on about is either paying off depts or losing weight. i dont think people should make rushed descisions just because its a new year. but the fresh start of it all des make you think ahhh i can do it!

one of my main goals which i can share to you all is that im saving and working to go to BYU-I this has been in my heart longer than a year i went to visit the campus when it was end of september and i LOVED the place, it was a little scary at first because of the number of people there. but it was great i loved it i was so impressed by all the majors and what they have to offer. it was fab to see larisa there too, and i got to meet a wonderful girl called Steph. so there you go!

i really hope everyone has a "new start" to things they are trying to conquer i know its the little steps that count, and best thing is to tell a best mate or someone you trust because they will always encourage you to do whats right! while i have that opporunity thanks to Markie my best mate! for being there for me time and time againg through my ups and downs your my STAR!

all the best for 2006 eveyone! LOVE BEX

Christmas Traditions...

Remember the traditions of the past...i thought id maybe share a couple of mine, id always have a wash for santa coming, and my mum and dad would buy MATEY bubble bath..its changed alot now to be commercialised, but i really used to look forward to it, i just always remember it! and now my mum and dad told me it was to represent my cleanliness my rededication to christ they never taugh me verbally then. but it was just really nice to think back on it, maybe you all think thats weird but it helped me appreciate what i was being "clean" for. so hense here is a bottle for you to see!

Also we always decorate the house with everything and USUALLY or we used to sit arround putting our own initial bauble on the tree ahhh good memories...im going to show you a photo but will replace it with the true picture soon! hope your getting ready for the real spirit of chrismas its nearly upon us! HO HO HO!!!

More Recently we have been working on snow men well for like a few years and last year we finished they are sequins on a skirt for the christmas tree...i love them because they are all sparkly, so i took a photo for you all so you can see. well i cant think of any others for the here and now ive just been carol singing and i took no photos poop but it was a fun night hehe! i love IKEA haha well, hope you tell me YOUR Christmas Traditions! lv me

BLOGGING JOLLY GOOD DINNER!

YO HO HO EVERYONE (in a dodgey santa claus tone) well i hope you all have had a good weekend mine was full of fun and festivity, also its been a hard week in my calling in Nursery too but im learning all the time! so the highlights for me in my boring old life, that gave it some KICK! yes i got to go to the YSA dinner and Dance, i could not BELIEVE the food the francoms had put on they are the BEST! there was loads left over, but not because no one liked it. BUT BECAUSE WE WHERE SO FULL AFTER THE FIRST SITTING! they really did an AMERICAN dinner for us, i was so amazed No one knows it but Brother and Sister Francom was there from 9 AM they neevr sat down just always cooking and and preparing things for the event they are WONDERFUL people I LOVE THEM TO BITS, so i publicly thank them for making a wonderful atmosphere for all the YSA to come together! THANK YOU...i wish i could summerize everything for you all. Just know i had a really fun time! i got to speak to old and new friends. and had a really good laugh you dont always have chance to do that. but i certainly did this past friday! here are some pictures to show you of the event...

After the food we had a really fun SEROC experience YES EMMA if your reading it...WE DID IT! i didnt personally because i was taking photos but it was fun to watch! (not that i could dance anyway) but yes it was good to be able to see some couples together AWW! i said behind my camera it will feature towards the end of todays Blog! i had to get the photo of the Francoms though, i got some other fun ones but i jsut wont put them on because i may embarrase people MR POLLARD :P haha ok ok! well we had a real good time altogether. we did dance towards the end...the best prayer i ever heard was, we are thankful that we TRY to dance...or soemthing along those lines, well i did try! hehehe i love it haha but i had a blast, groove in the heart was always a favourite to me. i got on and boogied! i love my little possie that join me when i dance its a great feeling, even if the music isnt always supportive! i didnt want to leave only because quoir was going to be on i need to go have rest...yes i know it was SUNDAY the concert but still i needed to prepare lessons for Nursery! :)

Always nursery is a challenge i know the Lord wants me in there though. sometimes i have contention and hard times but like i said it WILL make me stronger the children i LOVE to bits! i just cant wait until they actually WANT to come to nursery. i know change is hard for me, for anyone really, but the scriptures and my good friends are keeping me sane! well i will show more photos from the event friday...dont want ya all to fall asleep, thanks for your comment andrew hehe and i thought no one read my BLOG i was WRONGGG!...

ok so maybe ill write about Choir too! i nearly forgot, im trying to write here at least once a week! so ill make it count. i read on BYU-I that blogging is like an online journal for its students so i guess it is for me too i know Larisa is a success you GO GIRL! i was going to ask does Becca have a blog too? she should have one! hehe but yes i love to blog once i get into the writing mood, so keep watching out for more. Choir on Sunday we got to church for 5pm after intensive rehersal with coughing water sipping, nose blowing we pulled through it all. poor Andrew i hope your better! we need your voice, my favourite performance was the candle light carol no not because my sister sang in it, but i loved the small group, probably our best singers in that lil group. but i really loved it it captured the Christmas Spirit for me. and why because i wasnt singing in it! hah no i really did love it! we all did great you guys im really happy to be apart of choir! thanks guys for making it worth it (even thouhg im ill today) LOVE YA BEX
