Gender Reveal Party (Vlog#4)

Pre gender reveal party!

My bestest friends, they're like my older brother and older sister, Aubrey and Tyson Young are having a BABY! 

The due date is August 2014.

They just found out.

I AM SO EXCITED!

I get to be an aunt! Aunt CiCi.

So they had this super awesome party to celebrate and reveal the babies gender to friends and family.

What will it be a HE or a SHE?

 Such cute ideas!

I loved TyBrie's gender reveal party! It was a blast.

 Which will it be?
Brie&CiCi

 The THREE amigos. My loveliest of all lovelies.
Tyson, CiCi, and Brie.
Brother&Sister

 Anxiously awaiting the guests!

Tyson and Aubrey are so presh!

I love this cute couple.

Married for almost 4 years!

They are going to make the best, most loving parents :)

Love you TyBrie

THE BIG REVEAL!!!

It's a BOY!

I am so thrilled. Speechless. I am going to be an aunt to the sweetest baby boy. 

Aunt Charley!

I will be the best aunt a baby could have :)

I love the Young family. 

Friends are the family we choose.

JUDE EMERY YOUNG

I cannot wait to meet you.

Also importantness!

I was able to spend a few hours this afternoon catching up with an old friend... the lovely, beautiful Gabrielle 

Isn't she gorgeous?

What I love about this girl is how strong she is.

I love that even though we hadn't seen each other in way too long, nothing has changed.

We are still just as close.

We can still tell each other anything and everything like real friends do.

I met Gaby in elementary school.

We've been friends ever since!

I became her friend because she had the same backpack as me, and I thought that was neat. I also liked her name haha. 

I sure am glad I decided to talk to her.

I love you Miss Gaby!

Today's inspirational piece of advice... spend time with your friends. Call up an old friend you haven't talked to in a while! Reach out to them. They will love it. It will brighten their day. Get together with friends you see on a regular basis and plan something fun. My goodness, go out and be brave and make some new friends. Who knows, maybe that stranger you talk to could end up being one of your best friends in the future? Friends make life tolerable. They bring sunshine and light to your darkest days.

"Why do relationships have to be so hard? 'cause the only thing harder is being alone."

-One Tree Hill

"God is fully aware that you and I are not perfect. Let me add. God is also fully aware that the people you think are perfect are not. And yet, we spend so much time and energy comparing ourselves to others--usually comparing our weaknesses to their strengths. As a result, we never celebrate our good efforts because they seem to be less than what someone else does."

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

"It is in your self-interest to find a way to be very tender."

"What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it."

Safe & Sound (Vlog#3)

ChArLeY BrOoKe

This is me & my girl T-Swift (Taylor Swift) singing 

Safe & Sound

If I could have any talent like ever it would be to be musically talented.

To be able to sing amazingly.

Bear with my singing here or plug your ears!

LoVeLiEs...

I kind of like these Vlogs for the time being so I hope you do too.

HAHA I can't sing to save my life.

It's awful.

So just ignore my foolish bravery.

I've always wanted to sing in public so here is my chance!

I'm taking it!

Mind you no one could see it or billions...

Here goes nothing though.

And of course I'll leave you with some quotes:

"The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do."

"What if we could see the effect before the cause?"

"Sometimes it hurts so much that you feel like your chest will cave in and the only thing stopping it are the gasps of air you take in between the tears."

"Here is to all the sleepless nights

When I daydream at midnight about things

that I forget yet are now talking with the stars

When I danced like crazy to the music of my

floorboards creeking

When I sat on my bed with the windows open and soaked

up every drop of moonlight until

my skin was a silvery tone.

When the dawn came and scolded me for the bags under my 

starstudded eyes.

Here is to all the sleepless nights."

"It's not about getting a chance.

It's about taking a chance."

"Sometimes instead of opening doors, words close them."

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds'. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting it's sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."

-Rose Kennedy

"Standing alone is better than standing with people who hurt you."

"It brings tears to my eyes when I think about how hard I'm trying to just be happy."

"I stare up into the dark with an ache in my chest that makes it hard to breathe. But not hard to think."

-Cassia, Matched

"Love is not affectionate feeling but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."

-C.S. Lewis

"I was struggling and alone. I cannot go back to that world, to that shell of a life."

-Tyler Knott Gregson

"If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; it's purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders."

-Andrew Harvey

"I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women, when they love, give everything."

-Oscar Wilde

"Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't mean you love them any less. Sometimes it even makes you love them more."

-The Last Song

"Hey may like you. He probably does. He probably thinks about you all the time. But that isn't what matters. What matters is what he's doing about it, and what he's doing about it is nothing. And if he's doing nothing, you most certainly shouldn't do anything. You need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life."

"As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being REJECTED from something good, I was actually being RE-DIRECTED to something better."

"Courage, dear heart."

-C.S. Lewis

"When you lose someone. It stays with you. Always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt."

Remember lovelies,

music is always there for you too, even when people aren't.

<W/3 with love,
