"It is necessary to dig deep within oneself to

discover that hidden grain of steel...called will."

- Ryan Shay (1979-2007)

Oh I'm a dancer, and I move to the rhythm of the music...oh it carries me away

Yes I'm a dancer...I was born to live this life I did not choose it...and when the song begins to play...oh please, please will you dance with me?

Oh I'm a dreamer, though my head is the clouds i keep believin'...they really do come true...a rainbow chaser...and at the end I know that all the love I needed...I will find it here with you..so please, please will you dance with me?

Baby, can you hear the melody...I swear I've never heard a sound so sweet...makes me want to take your hand...float across the floor...i've never felt like this before...

I'm a lover of all things everywhere God set in motion...like the Sun, the Moon and stars...our lives together...we'll rise and fall like the waves upon the ocean...if you take me in your arms...So please, please will you dance with me?

"Will You Dance With Me" Julianne Hough

"i know...you know...it can't get much better...fireworks flyin' whenever we're together...i know... you know...that i know you love me...we'll see fireworks tonight"

These are pictures Heidi took on the Fourth of July...they were the best fireworks I've ever seen...

Oh and the lyrics are by Plain White T's...called "Fireworks"

Since I have this weird obsession of taking pictures of my feet and shoes, I decided I'd post a couple of the ones I have so far...

Well...i just got back at midnight last night from a trip to my favorite place in the world: Pentwater MI. My dad and Nate and I went to see Granddad and Grandmommy and also to look at Cornerstone College, Calving College, and Hope College. I am feeling kinda overwhelmed actually looking at colleges now...i'm realizing how much change college will bring...and how many huge decisions must be made... But i'm really seeking God right now, that's all i know. The athletic training program at Hope is outstanding, and their basketball program is amazing. Last year they were the national champs and this year they were 30-1! Coach Mo runs 16 on the varsity and they all play a good amount. And there's even the option of a JV, which is nice. But I think I liked Cornerstone the most...I don't really know...

The time in Pentwater was great! Our last day there was probably the most fun. We went sailing out on Lake Michigan with Andy, and then Nate and dad and i went swimming. After that we went into Ludington to the James Street Pub and ate a really good dinner. And then we went to House of Flavors, my FAVORITE ice cream place in the world. They have 64 amazing flavors!! We took our ice cream and walked to the lighthouse in Ludington. It was so pretty. That's like my favorite tradition about going to Michigan- the lighthouse and the ice cream! Of course I love the beach too... And it was really nice to see my cousins! It's been a while...
