Poem

I wrote a poem, and thought that I would share it with you.

What do you feel?
When you look into my eyes
Is it clear where my heart lies?
When your hand grazes mine,
Do shivers run down your spine?
Does your heart skip a beat
When our gazes meet?
I pray to God that it is true
That he as brought me to you.
You make me laugh
You make me smile.
For you I would walk mile after mile.
With you I am myself,
I never find I’m acting strange,
I never feel I have to change.
God is gracious,
God is kind
Is it is his plan for our hearts to bind?

Camp

Well, I just got back from Camp Unity with one of the guys I work with. I had a blast. Although by the end of the week I was ready to go home. You know how it is. And I still have one more camp to do yet. Anyway, I really liked this one. It was not like Rehoboth, but it was great, and I met a bunch of wonderful people. I also worked on my tan just a little bit, and that makes me happy. Although now I am so tired, and can hardly do anything because I have no energy for it. But on Monday we are going skiing and that makes me happy. Although I did kinda want to go with my friends and hang, I am going skiing with the family, and I guess that is good cause I have not seen them for a while. Other then that, there is really nothing new in my life. I am ready for something exciting to happen but so far nothing. Oh well no chance waiting for something that you do not really expect hey.
Well peace out and smile lots.

Oma

Hey,
Well I have had a good week, and then since we are moving, I was packing. And what did I find but some of my Oma's things. And it hit me, I am never going to see her on this life again. It kinda saddens me. I thought that I was okay, except when you get those days you know when BANG everything hits you and your like so sad. I mean she will never see me get married, or even have a boyfriend for that matter. She will never see me get my Arts degree, which she whole heartedly promoted, she will never hear me sing again. Or I will never listen to her talk about Opa, or play Organ, or all those cool things Omas do. It really hit me. And as usual, when something hits me I write about it. Another thing Oma loved, my poems. So Oma this one is for you!

Oma

Some times there are days
When I want to say
I love you.
And now it is hard to do
Cause I can’t see you
Because you are in Heaven
So instead I ask that God cares for me,
For my Mom, my Dad, and my family.
I pray that I will remember you
And how I know you loved me too.
I will miss you Oma through the years
But I promise to smile through my tears.
You meant so much to me,
More then you could ever see.
Good Bye Oma and this I pray
That I see you in Heaven,
One sweet day.

Wedding Fever!

Well, have you ever felt like all that was happening in your life was weddings. Your neighbor gets married, your friends get married, people you have grown up with are going to get married. And there you sit, as single as a 1. Yeah that is me, and boy is it wonderful. You know, I am happy that peoples are getting married! But when you have a wedding every weekend, and none of them are your own, ya get a little bit sad. And the fact that one of my best friends is getting married on Saturday, and our 4th partner in crime, Ashley ( I miss you!) is not there to help celebrate. And, I have Friday off of work, only to go to another wedding. So here I am saying, weddings, they are starting to become like one of those fevers that you hate, but you can not get rid of easy. Yeah that's it, Oh well, not like I am complaining or anything. But wait that is what I am doing. Maybe I should get my act together and make it so that soon I will create wedding fever on someone else. All in good time I think, I am only a young one!!
Well, remember live life to the fullest cause you only live once!

ARRRGGGG on school!

Okay, So I thought that everything was all worked out, and all I had to do was take this Art History course. Which I am starting to like. But then I get an email and phone call from the faculty of Rehabilitation, telling me that the registration still needs my actual certificate from HogeSchool Netherlands. So now I am still not a graduate, and I found out that it was the coordinators fault. AARRRRGGGG!!! But I went to Grant Mac today, and they actually wanted to keep my certificate. I said they could borrow it, but it was the only one that I got, and frankly I would like it back. So they took it with the promise it would be returned. Hopefully now I will get my diploma, and Concordia will let me in! Cross your fingers for me peoples! So yes the struggles of school still carry on. But slowly I will be able to say, hey I am finished!!!!!

Shoot for the Moon, cause if you miss, you still land upon the stars.

Sunday Blues

Well today is the best day of the week. No work, no anything, but friends, family, and fellowship. I love Sundays. Now if I love Sundays so much, y do I have the blues. Let me explain. See Sunday night after church the young people normally go to a park and play soccer, or volley ball and have a fire. Well seeing as how it is raining we can not do that. So there was part of it. Second, I volunteered to have people over at our house. Well normally that is all fine and dandy, but I discovered we do not have anything in the house. So baking I went. And okay the biggest reason for having the blues. My Brother FORGOT me at church. I mean how can you forget me, Alyson the wonderfully vocal Alyson. Sure if I was quiet maybe, but hello this is me, NOT that quiet. So yes I saw him leave, and I tried to chase him, but wearing heels and a skirt, and blisters on my toes, equals not catching him. I am still not over it. Scared for life I am thinking. Ahh well. Tomorrow will be a new day.
Remember Love with all your Heart, Soul and Mind!

Busy Girl, Busy Life

Well, I have just finished my first week of school. Our teacher told us that we had finished 5 weeks of class. Yeah in 5 days. I am starting to enjoy myself, and I even understand what I am studying for my mid term. YES. But there are new problems. Did you know that St. Albert Library only has like four good books on the Notre Dame, now how am I going to do my project on that, I need 15!!!! AHHH! And I work during the day after school, so do not have a lot of time in order to get some more. So I am stumped. Maybe it is time to make up a few books. ( he he) Ahh well, and I have a paper due on tuesday too. And weddings to go to. Ahh busy life for this girl. Oh well I figure I will all be for the good of it, so I will stop complaining. But if anyone wants to work for me, and then give me the money, or do my homework for me, then I am willing. Just a thought. Have a great one peoples, and remember There is no better thing then a surprise kiss from the boy you love. (or girl if your a guy!)

School, School, School!

Okay, so my school life has been kinda hectic. I mean, originally Grant Macewan said that I did not even go to Holland. HELLO I was there, I did go!!! Anyway now that is figured out, I found out that in order to go to Concordia this year to get my Degree in Music, Well in Arts but major music, minor drama, I have to take a course. Sure no Problem. But I start class and it is the most boring thing EVER! Ahh, the only consolation I had, was the fact that I saw Evan for the first time in like a year. I know, there was many an opportunity to see him before, but hey! (sorry!) Anyway, I hope to get through this cause if I don't no school for me, which means no choir. AND I WANT CHOIR!!! But, as I will say, although the skies are raining, behind the cloud there is always sun!

The first one

Okay, So I was told to do this, cause it would be easier on everyone, that way you will all know exactly what I am doing. He he. But hey this is going to be the real me. No holding back here people, hence why I called it "All about Alyson" I think the best way to discribe me would be one of the poems that I have taking the liberty to write. so here,

Silently

Silently waiting,
Silently wishing,
for someone to hold on to.
Silently dreaming,
Silently praying,
for someone to love.
Silently crying,
Silently dying,
for someone to be near you.
Silently hoping,
Silently looking,
for someone to trust in.
Silently we wait,
Silently we pray,
For God to give us
our soul mate.

By Alyson

So when I think of anything more, I will post, but until then, keep smiling, never frown, cause Life is to short!
