The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.

Tho much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield

This is what i have for you today. It reflects my intellectually stimulating

literature in school.  I tried to look like it as well.

went to comerica park saturday.... with 40,000 others, along with predicted rain that never came

. Not sure if that guy realizes he's holding up his baby

for my camera, but she managed to be quite visible for my honorary shot.

a jam packed van is one way to elude the climbing gas prices... mostly cousins

and distant cousins... but then, aren't we all???

heidi looks slightly concerned as she bites the right side of her lower lip

alivia stedfastly and loyally watches the game, while courtney cant bear to look.

it was one of those games for the hardcore fans that brings many

emotions to surface.

nearing the end, we tried our best to bring the Tigers back.....

we donned rally caps ( I was forced)

 Some of you know i am an expert at kniving

slumberous pictures from you.... well here is heidi.... believe me, she

had no clue. cheers heidi!

 its the little things in life that mke me happy

someone had a birthday

and the rest are just pretty random....

tara... her fellow lifeguard, hanging in the guard office just about to teach

swim lessons.... look at tara..... she's like YEAH!!! LETS GO!

comerica park.....this entire scene just caught my eye....

Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice and your joy no one will take from you.

And in that day you will ask me nothing. Most assuredly I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will recieve, that your joy may be full

These things have I spoken unto you that in me ye may have peace. In the world you will  have tribulations, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

MATT 16
