Day 3 (A Day Late)- Write a letter to your parents

Day 3 — Write a letter to: Your parents
Tell me: A song that makes you happy
I want to know: Your favorite television program.
Tell me Your idea of the perfect first date.


Dear Mom and Dad,
I have the best parents in the world, hand down! I know that sorry will never be enough for the hell i put you through. Those 5 years were definitely the worst, and i cannot imagine what you had to deal with. I will always love you for smacking sense into me, even though i hated it at the time, and never followed it. But you never gave up on me. You always loved me.


I will never forget those few hours before placement in the hospital. You both held my hands and we just all cried, and you both sat beside me and helped me through it. And you are still helping me now.



Gah, i hate my puffy face in that photo.

I just hope you guys know... i didn't hate you. I never did. I know that i put that image on, and i seemed all rebellious and typical teenager thinking my parents are so lame. But it was Jasper that made me think that, and i wanted so badly for him to be right for some reason. I wanted to be like him, and not care about anyone or anything and i tried to push you guys away, but i couldn't. I love you guys more than anything and you are both my best friends and i needed you. I still need you!! And i always will, because you are my mom and dad.  You guys mean everything to me, and i hope you know how much i appreciate all you do for me :)

Love, your stupid but learning daughter, Mariel

Ok, i know this is ridiculous, but We R who we R by Kesha makes me happy. When i wake up in the morning, that song comes on and i get a kick while getting ready and my day is set. I know, its not the best or most clever song, but i love it in a weird way.


My favorite television program... probably Teen Mom 2. IM OBSESSED! I realized that i love watching stupid people. Not saying those girls are stupid, i mean shows like Jersey Shore. I mean seriously, that is why its so funny is because they are all idiots! But like, ok, on Teen Mom 2, for those that watch it, I LOVE Cory and Leah, they are just cute and have their heads on straight. And they are the cutest parents! Their babies are adorable!


Kailyn and Jo are just stupid. Really, they both act like 5 year olds, especially Jo. He doesn't think before he says things, and he is just super rude and immature. Kailyn has a serious attitude problem. Together, they are awful. Separate, they are decent.



Chelsea is kind of a ditz, but she is super sweet and has a sweet personality. Too bad that Adam is a @#$%^ and takes advantage of that. Ok, not even kidding, Adam is exactly like Jasper. I hate watching that part because he reminds me of him!! He is just such a jerk, but i am glad that Chelsea broke up with him. Her baby is way cute too!

And last but definitely not least, Janelle. Everyone doesn't like her, that is obvious. Seriously child?? Your mom has to take care of your baby for you, and you beg to see him, she gives you chances, and then you ruin them by staying over at your friends and boyfriends houses all night. You were smoking pot in front of your house, and your child, you always go out with your friends, and you get SUPER defensive when your mom points this all out because it is right and you are too dumb to hear it. As soon as you get a job, you start ditching it to hang out with your boyfriend, then you obviously get fired, and youre like "Ah! What am i supposed to do without a job??" DUH! And you plan a trip with your boyfriend and steal your moms credit cards? And youre like "I was planning on paying her back". Really? You wonder why she gets so annoyed and mad at you? Oh, and this is priceless. You get taken to jail with your dump of a boyfriend, you bail out and your friend is nice enough to come get you, you are mad at him cuz its his fault (you are vaild, it IS his fault), and he keeps calling you asking when you are coming to bail him out. "If you loved me you wouldn't let me sit in a jail cell all night". He needs a good smacking. So, instead of using the money to pay back your mom for the credit cards, which is like 775 dollars so you dont get arrested for stealing credit cards, you put that money towards bailing out your boyfriend who you told everyone you hated, and your mom said she would kick you out if you hooked up with him. I mean, SERIOUSLY????????????


Ok, i had to get that all out. 
I started crying about her last night. I know, emotional. But i was crying to Nick, because her child is right there. She can take care of him, but she throws it all away. I cant do that. Jack is going to start walking any day now and i wont be there to see it. I just hate her. 


Sighhhhhhhhh.................


Ok, my idea of a perfect first date. Going to get food, it could even be wendys, i really wouldn't care, as long as something is in my belly, and then something simple but fun, like bowling or walking around Walmart or... i dont know. I am just a simple girl :)

Day 2- Write a letter to your crush. Plus, a photo of Jack, finally!

Day 2 — Write a letter to:  Your Crush
Tell me: Your least favorite song
I want to know: Your favorite movie.
Take A photo of something you ate today.



Dear Nick,


Yes, you are my crush, even though you are already my boyfriend. I started having a crush on you the second i saw those big blue eyes from across the room in 11th grade english. I was so startled and happy when you got up and came over to talk to me. And I am so glad that you did :)


After Jack was born and things started to calm down, one of my biggest concerns was dating again. Who would date someone that had got down and dirty and had a baby. There was a lesson we had in seminary about chastity, and there was a quote that said "The greatest gift you can give to your future spouse is yourself, pure and clean", or something like that. And when i heard that i was crushed. I cannot give that to my future husband. My husband will have to have a girl with a butt load of trash, a used product. 






I mean, i don't really think that anymore, but still. And then you come along and change that. You listen to everything, to all of my worries and junk and my past and my fears, and you just smile and hold my hand and say that it is ok. And you kiss me and say that you love me, no matter what. You are ok with talking about it, and everything, and surprisingly you are the only person i have met who does not know who Jasper is or was, and you are ok if i am really mad one day and just spew everything. 


Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring and loving me. I am so glad that we can do anything and be comfortable around each other. I love that we can laugh at each other and tease each other and make fun of each other and be dorks. I especially love that you ask how Jack is doing, and are excited to see pictures, and you want to come hang with my family. 


Thank you for being my best friend and for loving me no matter what. Even on days when i am being a complete brat and im bawling with make up running down my face. I love you :)


Love yours, Mariel


Alright, my least favorite song..... how in the world can i choose?? Honestly, any of that Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, weird pre-teen cheesy, no talent, made up, pointless lyric music that is just... blech. I hate it. There is no true talent in it. Nothing like Mumford and Sons. Nothing :)






My favorite movie. Again, how in the world can i choose?????? Gosh i hate these type of questions.
Umm... there are several contenders. Bicentennial Man, Moulin Rouge, Juno, Whats Up Doc, SO MANY! Those are only some. Those are ones that i can watch over and over and never get tired of. Oh, and Phantom of the Opera. Cant get enough of Gerald Butler..... yummmm. Its ok, Nick knows :)



Oooooo... just look at him.


I know, not the healthiest thing, but i am addicted to them! SO GOOD! My weakness for sure. 

There we go, Day 2.


Ok, Heather sent me this today and it is too cute! So, it is a toy boom box that plays music, and he holds it up to his head and bounces up and down like a little DJ. OH MY GOSH I LAUGHED OUT LOUD! I mean, how can children be so incredible? They are so smart and so beautiful. He blows my mind every day. He is just so adorable and amazing. I hope i can be the best i can for him.

I will continue on it later. There is too much to talk about with Jack!

Blog 30-day Challenge

Yes, I know, long time no write. And i know that there is a lot to catch up on. But i decided to steal this from my friends blog (yes, she gave me permission). So yeah... here we go!!


DAY 1: Day 1 — Write a letter to: Your Best Friend
Tell me: Your favorite song
 I want to know: Your favorite song.
Take A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.


Dear Mom,

You are one of the easiest people to talk to. I love you so much, and you have been with me through everything. From raising me with love, to making all of my play costumes and sitting through hours of rehearsals, and staying with me through every second at the hospital. I will always grateful for everything you did for me while i was pregnant. You came to every appointment, and you guided me through every step. I know that i can always come lay on your bed and talk to you for hours on end. And i love that we have the same sense of humor, and we watch the same tv shows and gossip about everything and everyone. Thank you for being an amazing grandma, and thank you for being an amazing mom :) I LOVE YOU!!

Love your daughter and best friend, Mariel


Alright, my favorite song..... i would have to say The Cave by Mumford and Songs. If you have not yet listened to them, DO IT! Their album is amazing, i listen to it probably 3 times a day, and i have already converted Nick. Heavy-rock-listening Nick and he loves it. I just love the simpleness and true musicality of it.


And now a photo of myself.... gah. 


GAH!! Basically, i slept all day and... slept all day. Haven't been feeling good. Didn't do anything to myself. I LOOK SO GROSS!

More to come. :)
