I’m happiest when … I'm around my family, and just hanging out.

Someday I’m going to … on vacation on the beach to California.

When I’m really down, what I want to do is … eat, (bad habit,) then I watch a funny movie.
I feel anxious … right before a basketball game.


I like people who … are there for you always.
All it takes to make me happy is … food, sleep, and hanging out with my buddies. (basketball :) )
What I really want to do is … Go on vacation with the family.
I wish that … it was summer and we were out of school.
I don’t like when people are … selfish, think they are all that, don't give people the time of day.

A person really should ... be happy, and grateful for what they have.

I just hate it that … school is so long, (hence, we don't have a long enough lunch either.)

I just love it that ... we don't have school Monday, and I have another nephew!

My Family

My family is a pan of peanut butter fingers, each of us have are own functions and abilities, but all together we make one delicious treat.
My dad is like the pan, he holds everything together
My mom is like the baking soda, she keeps everyone moving onward and upward.
My sister Ashlee is the salt, she gives us all that little pinch of flavor.
My brother Tucker is like the peanut butter, he is very tasty, but very hard to swallow.
My brother Tyrel is the egg, once he is cracked, he oozes everywhere.
Me, I'm like the butter, I don't move very fast unless you put me in the microwave, then in melts all over, my microwave would be the basketball court.
My younger sister Tralee is the Mexican vanilla, she adds flavor to everything.
My brother in law, Matt is the oat meal, he just clumps to together and lands.
My sister in law, Cori is like the sugar, she adds the sweetness to my brother to help us get him down.
My sister in law, Shelby is like the milk she tries to keep the family consistantly happy.
My nephew Branson is the powdered sugar and the coco, you mix those in to the frosting, add it to the top and that's what makes it all worth while.

Lyric Pick (If I die Young, The Band Perry)

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed or roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
oh oh oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I’ll shine down on my mother
She'll know I’m safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I’ve had just enough time

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words
of a love song. The sharp knife
of a short life, well I've had just
enough time

I'll be wearin' white when I come
into your kingdom, I'm as green
as the ring on my little cold finger.

I've never known the loving of a man
but it sure felt nice when he was holdin'
my hand, there's a boy here in town, says he'll
love me forever, who would have thought
forever can be severed by the sharp knife
of a short life? Well I've had just enough time.

So put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls
what I never did is done. A penny for my thoughts
oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar, they're worth so much
more, after I'm a gonner and maybe then you'll hear
the words I've been singin' funny when your dead how
people start listening.

If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a
bed of roses, sink me in the river at dawn, send me
away with the wards of a love song.

uh-oh (uh-oh), the ballad of a dove
uh-oh (uh-oh), go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep them in your pocket
save them for a time when you're really gunna need
them, oh.

The sharp knife, of a short life
Well I've had just enough time.
So put on your best boys, and I'll
wear my pearls.




General idea/story inference: If I die Young
Send me away with the words of a love song by the Band Perry. I think the general idea of
this song is about this girl who dies young.
The sharp knife of a short life, well She is singing to her loved ones, telling that
I’ve had just enough time life ain't always what it seems. So live life
like you only have a short time to live, live
to the fullest, don't waste anytime.

1. "Send me away with the words of a love song."
I think she is trying to say that when she
passes, she wants to have a love song played,
maybe because she was in love at on time,
or maybe she wasn't but wants to be.

2. "Oh, and life ain't always what you think
it ought to be."- I think here she tries to say
that life ain't always what you hoped it would
be, that you live life the best way you can, and
live happy, but be prepared for the worst.

3. "If I die young, bury me in satin"- Here, I
think because she died young, innocent's, she
want's to be buried in satin, something soft,
she want's to be in something that represents
her.

4. "A penny for my thoughts. oh no, I'll sell it
for a dollar."- People are asking for her thoughts
song she says she wouldn't sell them for a penny,
because her thoughts to her are worth so much
more then others think.

5."Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pockets
save them for a time when your really going to
'em."-Here, I think she is saying at the
time right now, you won't need your tears right now but later your going to need them. So save
them in your pockets till that time when your
really going to need them.
