I've dreamed about this day for over 4 years now. I knew when I first met Adam that he was "the one" and now here we are! It's our wedding day! This quote is from my favorite show ever and I just love how it applies to us. It's May 9, 2015, I've been waiting for this day and this man, forever.
Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always. A promise. Like a reward for persisting through life so long alone. A belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision to ignore, simply rise above the pain of the past. A covenant, which at once binds two souls and yet severs prior ties. A celebration of the chance taken and the challenge that lies ahead. For two will always be stronger than one, like a team braced against the tempest civil world. And love will always be the guiding force in our lives. For tonight is mere formality. Only an announcement to the world of feelings long held. Promises made long ago. In the sacred spaces of our hearts.
-One Tree Hill
"It's you. When all my dreams come true, the one
I want next to me is you.”
Sometimes life just kinda sucks. There are things that happen, beyond our control, yet they seem to force us in a certain direction, sometimes a direction we weren't planning on going. Life recently has been tough and I'm really learning to trust in God's plan for my life instead of attempting to create my own plan. I feel very lucky to have the best fiancé, family and friends to lean on. Until I figure life out, I'm sure glad we're given new months to 'start' over,' lots of Bible verses to keep reading and One Tree Hill quotes to get us through :) Happy February everyone!
The Broncos will be there next year, I just know it.
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9
Life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up. But there’s one day when you realize you’re not just a survivor. You’re a fighter. You’re tougher than anything life throws your way. And you are. -One Tree HillP.S. Go Patriots. Anything to root against the Seahawks.

So, tonight was the night. As dramatic as it sounds, tonight was the series finale of One Tree Hill. Feel free to make fun, I know its slightly immature, but One Tree Hill was the show that saved me and I'm pretty sure it saved every high school girl once or twice. Brooke Davis said tonight, "Somedays I wake up and I miss it, but then I realize it's all here (in my heart)." OTH started when I was a sophomore in high school and now.... 9 years later, a 2L in law school, it has finally come to an end. I know this is all sounding soooo dramatic and a little bit nuts, but OTH is and will always be my favorite show. Whitney and I skyped while watching it, drank red wine and cried together while we listened to Gavin Degraw sing and Brooke Davis' eloquent speeches. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to our favorite TV show. One of the best parts about OTH were the quotes, so here's my fav, and it just so happened to be the final quote on the final show.Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want, everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from. The next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe that it's right around the corner, and you open up your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you're wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it, with all of your heart.
"I love you. I don't think we say it enough and I'm sorry for that."
Day 9: Discuss five things you wish to see change.
1. I want people to learn to love with wide abandon, and to not be scared of love- for it is the greatest of these.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a shild, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we can see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 132. I want people to be happy because they're actually happy, not because of material things, or jobs or anything else. I want people to be happy with who they are. I want people to be content with themselves, with who God made them to be.
3. I want people to stop blaming others, it's time for us to take control of our own lives.
4. I want people to believe in themselves and to believe in their own miracles. The world is full of magic.
"You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe in it, with all your heart." -OTH5. I want people to have faith. Faith in God, faith in themselves.
He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you." - Luke 17:6"What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents, sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold, on a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
Do you call her over hand her the change, ask her a story ask her her name
or do you tell yourself....You're just a fool, just a fool, to believe you can change the world.You're just a fool, just a fool, to believe you can change the world.
What'cha gonna do when you're watching t.v. and an ad comes on, yeah you know the kind
Flashin up pictures of a child in need, for a dime a day you can save a life. Do you call the number, reach out a hand. Or do you change the channel, call it a scam...
or do you tell yourself...You're just a fool, just a fool, to belive you can change the world. You're just a fool, just a fool, to believe you can change the world.
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't listen to them when they say, you're just a fool.
Love is alive, don't listen to them when they say, you're just a fool."
Thanks Carrie.
The thing I've always loved about One Tree Hill is the narrative they have at both the beginning and the end with Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) saying something from Emerson, E.E. Cummings, John Steinbeck, William Blake, George Elliot, Henry James and the occasional Shakespeare. Ever since the show has started I've kept a word document of these brilliant quotes and believe it or not, I use them quite often. This one isn't a quote from one of the 'greats' but instead the characters themselves.
Peyton: Make a wish and place it in your heart. Anything you want. Everything you want.
Lucas: Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from, the next smile. The next wish come true.
Peyton: But if you believe that it is right around the corner. And you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it....
Brooke: You just might get the thing you’re wishing for.
Nathan: The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it?
Haley: Good. Now believe in it. With all your heart.Maybe if we start believing that the miracles are just around the corner and the next wish we wish will come true, it will. Maybe I have to start opening my heart and mind to all those possibilities. It's time I start believing in it, and myself, with all my heart.
This is my favorite scene is all of One Tree Hill history.
"When all my dreams come true the one I want next to me. It's you."
I wish I could say this.
I wish I could say this.
It's understandable that when we're in school we get carried away. we get lost, too far into our own selves we forget to look around at what the world has. I thought when i came back to Arizona, the world would slow down. I thought I would have a chance to look at the world- to really see it. I thought I would see past all the irrelevant things and look at what it really has to offer. So often in the daily grind of our lives we get caught up. We wake up, go to work, come home, eat and go to bed only to wake up and do it all over again. It's like we're alive but are we really living? In the infamous words of Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Now, while that movie, at it's core, is down right hilarious, he had a point. Don't ever be afraid to let the world see your greatness. Don't ever forget to see the magic in the world,
because if we're willing, the world has so much to offer.
This came from the season finale of One Tree Hill, and I think it's great. Enjoy.

Take a look at yourself in the mirror, who do you see looking back? Is it the person you want to be? Or is there someone else you were meant to be - the person you should have been but fell short of? Is someone telling you you cant? Or you wont? Because you can. Believe that love is our there. Believe that dreams come true every day, because they do. Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money, fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family and from the quiet nobility of leading a good life. Believe that dreams come true every day, because they do. So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy because you deserve to be.Believe that and believe that dreams come true every day, because they do.
Last night I had the amazing opportunity to sit down and enjoy the company of 3 of my best friends from high school, and I say opportunity because the chances of the 4 of us being together.... well let's just say it doesn't happen often. It was almost as if the world kind of stopped spinning around us. We sat around as we drank, laughed, chatted and caught up with each others lives. It's hard to believe that just four years ago, we all said goodbye as we ventured off into the 'real' world of college only to wander back four years later. Does anyone see a One Tree Hill resemblance here?
When I first came back to Scottsdale, I told myself I would not throw myself back in to the high school routines. No house parties, no 'high school' activities - my mind was set. I am a college grad and I was determined to act like one. This of course excludes my core (CWLA), but you get the picture. But then I realized that sometimes its important to take a walk down memory lane. It reminds us of those amazing, sweet and pure moments that define us. It reminds us of where we came from -and it allows us to see how far we've really grown. Because if we ever think we're too good to come back to where we started then that just means we really didn't learn anything. Back to where I started, kristengrace31.tumblr.com. It's good. It means we are growing and we are still learning because one we stop - once the spinning stops, we lose.

I did it! I graduated. I didn't fall when I walked across the stage - I made it. Here's to the next chapter. In the words of Miss Rachel Johnson -
I COMMENCED.
I saw.
I conquered.
We did it. Three years going strong. Who would have thought.
I COMMENCED.
I saw.
I conquered.
We did it. Three years going strong. Who would have thought.So now, I'm sitting here, on my coffee table watching One Tree Hill, because everything else is packed, watching three movers, who know nothing about me or my roommates or the ridiculous memories they're so carelessly packing away. [And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives...Where we're gonna be when we turn 25] They don't know as that as they pack up my closet they're packing up late night outs, "I'm not going" moments, shared outfits, date outfits, matching jeans and an endless amount of hours spent debating the perfect top. they dont know that when they wrap up the wine glasses that they're packing up pre-parties, girls wine/lifetime movie nights, broken glasses and crazy parties. They don't realize the amount of hours spent in front of this massive tv, crying, laughing, celebrating or competing over mario kart on the wii. As they pack away the christmas decorations they don't appreciate the decorating party or the home baked cookies that accompanied them. They pack it all away, in brown boxes without a care in the world. [But when we leave this year we won't be coming back. No more hanging out cause we're on a different track] They don't reazlie that they're packing away years of memories, because to them it's all just stuff. But to me, its the things that made college, my home. So, I'm gonna pack it all up, put it all away, and never forget. [Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down. These memories are playing like a film without sound] So, it's over, and even as they pack away my belongings, it's not the end.
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
“My problem is with anybody who just vanishes and then waltzes back in and expects to be instantly forgiven."
One Tree Hill
“ I’m not the most eloquent speaker, so I thought I would borrow a few words from Shakespeare. ‘Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.’ When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same. I look at Nathan and Haley and some how I feel safer. I don’t know if I can explain that, but they give me hope. And, I’m afraid say it out loud because maybe if life finds out it’ll try to beat it out of them and that will be a shame. Because, we all can use a little hope sometimes, you know. That feeling that everything’s going to be okay and that there’s going to be someone there to help make sure of that. So, here’s to Nathan and Haley, and here’s to hope, and here’s to a love that will not alter.
