Jar of Hearts



Well my life's theme song finally hit radio stations after months of waiting for it since it was played on SYTYCD during a dance. I cried the second I heard it and I still break down. This song I say is my Theme song for the last several months. these words speak for themselves.. im sure you will get chills as I do

Christina Perri: Jar of Hearts


I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love
I loved the most

I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are

Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises

And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
And who do you think you are?
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all


Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?


Who do you think you are?

Captain Jack Sparrow- We love you!








We had a horrible Halloween this year when we heard my baby sister say she lost her dog. Of course we pray he always comes home.. but this time it didnt happen. Halloween night Jack was "trick or treating" in his costume with the neighborhood kids..while keeping his distance.

Jack had been loosing his sight and hearing..... He was struck by a car and killed. This was Devastating news and we had just lost a great family member and someone VERY dear to my sister. HE was her BABY from birth, he came from MIssouri on a plane and turned her life around.

Nov.1st was a hard day for me. I wanted to help her ease the pain anyway I could. With help and suggestions from Mindy in Germany and Mom at work we had some great Ideas...but it was still going to be hard. Mom made some calls and found Jack at the Shelter in Sp. Fk. ... after some pondering, Tasha and Nate came. I wont do details but It was pretty Hard! I felt emotions from when Jon was in a horrible accident 3 years ago (today) .... Tasha was now sharing that day and emotions with me. ..... I didnt realize till later that night when tasha text me that it was the 3 yr ann. of Jons wreck. Im so grateful he is still here with me and our family.

Today is going to be tough too as we say goodbye to Captain Jack Sparrow. We love you jack and will miss you and your mommy will always love you and a special place in her heart!
