The American Boy

This is a poem i wrote for History. Tell me What you think :)

The American Boy

He is the American boy.
He’s not much older than eighteen
he is heading off to war.
He is trained to protect
he is fighting for our freedom.
He is the average American boy.

He is our hero
he risks his life every day.
He has left his family behind
he may never return.
He fights for days without any rest
he never complains.
He is the average American boy.

He is the American boy.
He proudly left to serve his country
he knows not many understand why.
He fought for years
he didn’t know how much it meant.
He is the average American boy.

Prom :)

All Right so i have officially not updated my blog in ages. When i first made this i was totally planning on updating every day or so as a journal but i guess it hasn't happened. So i guess ill just tell you the biggest thing that has happened since my last post....

 So of course PROM is coming up soon and naturally i wanted to start planning the second i got asked!! I'm such a perfectionist that any time something would go wrong i seriously wanted to pull my hair out. Well im glad i didnt cuz that wouldnt be good for prom lol. Well i guess ill just start with the basics.

I'm going with a really cool guy named doug and so excited! Last weekend i went and got my dress. Let's just say i am never going to shop that long again it sucks lol and the sad thing is that i absolutley love to shop :) Well after trying on about twenty dresses i finally found one that i love. It's a little plain, and ya i know thats not me at all, but i really loved it. So here is a picture :) The Picture is kinda horrible so here is a brief description. It is sleeveless with black on the top and white tulle on the bottom. I am going to wear a black bolero over it cuz you know "Modest is hottest" haha and then im going to add in neon pink accessories. The Dress is soooo poofy you have no idea its a great ball gown. I'm really hoping that on my date we can go paintballing or laser tagging but you never know we will have to see i guess. My group might be me and doug, whitney and hayden, Mari and her date, jakima and her date, and Randi and her date. Mari, jakima, and randi haven't been asked yet but im sure they will! It's going to be so much fun i cannot wait.Well i guess thats all the update for today. I'll keep you updated on my life in Sevier county :) :)

p.s. Thank you so much to my bestie Laura, my mommy kammie, one of my most favorite cousins nicole, and her friend chance for coming with and dealing with me when i couldnt find a dress! I am so glad you guys stuck by my side until I did!! Thanks again I love you guys!!
