Colorado shooting

I am sure you all have heard the tragic news in Aurora, Co.
12 dead, at least 50 injured.

News report state that James Holmes, 24, shoot up a theater in Aurora during a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight."
It's also been reported that Holmes was armed with three firearms. 71 shots, 10 dead bodies remain in the theater.

It's tragic and horrific news of what has happened, my heart goes out to the victims family and friends. I personally know someone who lived within walking distance of that theater. Thankfully, he doesn't live in Co anymore but his family is still there. From what I know, they are all fine.

But people are still waiting for the names of those shot to be released, including myself.

Some people have gotten some videos of people leaving the theater after the shootings.

One of the youngest to get injured was indeed a 3month old baby. But it's been released that the baby has been discharged from the hospital and is fine, back home with it's parents.

My question is, why would you bring a 3mo-old to a movie such as the dark knight?

My heart and soul simply breaks at this news.
It's horrible what has happened and everyone is wondering, why?
Holmes first threw tear gas into the audience and then fired shots as the gas filled the room.

Holmes was caught by police in the parking lot in the movie theater shortly after the shooting with his bullet proof vest and gas mask still on.

If you want to know more about it, you can go on yahoo and read all about it. On the front page, also if some of you have twitters, I'm sure it's on there as well.

I'm terribly sorry something like this has happened. Such a tragic shame...

Bidcactus.com

So many of you might know of this site or not.
But for those of you who do not,
it's like ebay but a lot cheaper.
I signed up for this site b.c I wanted to buy something from it that ebay was wanting way too much for.
Now, thinking this site is legit and real, it asked me for my billing address and stuff like that.
Now, me being a young person, I'm assuming they are going to take my info put it on record or something and save it so I don't have to re-enter it all in later.
I should have known better...
Instead, they took $79 out of my account without my permission and without telling me.

Now what urks me is that I didn't have that much money in my account to start with. So it left me with $0.00...
My savings is the only thing that kept me from going into overdraft.
....

I'm mad, freaking out thinking I just went into overdraft. I'm great with my money, I'm always making sure I have enough, always checking my account to make sure all is well with it and looks the same. I am money smart.

But this little slip up...
So, I'm going to file a report on it and I'm going to get my money back.
And for those of you who are thinking about signing up, do it at your own risk b.c they WILL take money out of your account.

I don't want what just happened to me to happen to anyone else.

Keep y'all posted~

Blue Vail Ranch







Blue Vail is a beautiful, authentic western family owned and operated working horse and cattle ranch in Alberta, Canada just west of Okotoks over looking the Sheep River and only 25 minutes to south Calgary. There are six two room cabins with room enough to hold four people each being built on the property, allowing for a total occupancy of twenty-four guests at a time. The property is one hundred and forty nine acres of some of the most beautiful land in Alberta with a mixture of flat lands, rolling hills, spaced forests, and well-known bodies of water. Blue Vail will be offering things such as twenty four hour room service, providing each guest with an in-cabin menu of things to choose from, as well as daily cabin clean up-with the option to refuse-while guests are out for activities. Activities would include scheduled hunting trips, overnight camping trips on the open range, cattle drives, team penning (where a group of two on horseback wrangle 2-4 cows into a separate pen from a herd of 20-30), rodeos where guests showcase things such as roping, pole bending, and barrel racing for prizes, daily trail rides, hiking, swimming, fishing, rafting, campfires, and sporting activities such as football, soccer, and volleyball. They will also provide western dancing and a cookout three times a week along with the optional riding lesson for those who are either inexperienced or would like a refresher. Rates stand at $150 per person per night, and a week long booking will lower the price to $1000 as long as no more then 4 people are involved. My close friend is part owner, and if you tell her I sent you she'd happily give you a discount! Deposit rates vary, and are negotiable. Refunds vary. I highly suggest checking it out, the land is beautiful and I guarentee you, you'll enjoy the expirence. Along with the Equine Retreat, Blue Vail is also a working beef Cattle Ranch, and they take in and treat problem horses, returning them to their owners in perfect condition. They combine traditional vetinary medicine along with more holistic herbs and practices. No horse is ever turned away, and gentle and patience is key. As well as that, they take in rescue horses they then rehabilitate and re-home, along with offering board and lesson services.


Rates:
Equine Retreat: $150 per person per night
Lessons on a ranch-owned horse: $40 an hour
Lessons on a client owned horse: $20 an hour
To take on your problem horse, break or train your horse: $100 a week, price may vary depending on the level of the problem, but $100 is the max.

Summer Check!

So, the other day I saw this adorable baby boy outside.
He was so cute b.c he was smiling at me at pointing to the sky, baby talking.
So we were having a baby conversation and at one point, I just looked at him and smile.
He was so precious b.c while I was smiling, he was all giggle fits and hiding his face. Blushing and all.
It was seriously adorable :)
That completely made my day right there.

Okay, so summer is coming up and I know most of you might already be working on your summer bod(I know I am).
But for those of you who are still trying and looking around for the best workout,
I have the perfect one right here :D

Her name is Cassey Ho, and what she does is Pilates.
Now if you don't know what Pilates is think of Yoga.
Yoga is done on the floor of a mat(least some can be done on the floor).
Well, Pilates is kind of like Yoga but it's working your body and strengthens it.

But anyways! Getting back to the point :P
I've been doing Pilates for a while now and I must say, my beach/summer bod is looking pretty great!
So, if you want to get into shape for this summer, check out her videos! I'll post the links;




her videos are so awesome and they way she does them, it's like she's in the room with you.
She's so cheerful and really makes you push through the workouts even when you want to give up.
I absolutely love her!

And with summer around the corner, you'll feel awesome and sexy after these workouts!
Trust me, completely worth the pain later xD

Short post, not really feeling that well. So I am going to end it here and let it be at that ^_^
Blog on bloggers~

P.S, hopefully my next post will be a little better <3

Teen Pregnancy Prevention/ 31 To Be Exact

I woke up this morning thinking I was going to post all about pregnancy and teenagers.
But, I'm not.
Today as the title says, is teen pregnancy prevention day.
But, telling you not to have sex isn't going to stop you.
Let's face it, being a teenager myself, I don't want to listen to other people. I don't want to do what other people want me to do.
So I'm not going to tell you what to do. Though, it' is best to wait until your married to have sex.
But it's your life, not mine.
What I will say,
31 to be exact.

Before you choose to have sex, you should watch the video.
All women and men should watch this!
Girls, respect yourselves.
Don't let the media tell you wrong.

I can't quote the bible, or tell you what God might want for you.
But I can say that he wants you to wait. B.c there are far more better things for you waiting.
Don't become Eve and be deceived. You are far more precious than you think you are.

You can do whatever you want in life, but having sex can lead to pregnancy and even STD's.
And I know God wants far more for you than that.


I'm a Christian, I'm not very religious. I don't go to church, I don't parade around speaking the words of God.
I don't study the bible and I probably never will,
but I know He is real. And He loves me.
Even though there are days where I beg to differ.

My point is;
before you give yourself away, you must ask if it's worth it?
Don't do it because the media tells you you have to to "fit" in.
What does "fit" in even mean?!

To find out more about 31 to be exact you can follow them on twitter, facebook, or you can visit their website.




You are more beautiful then you think you are.
What ever size, color, sexuality, beliefs, or race you may be.
You are so beautiful and I hope you never forget that.

If you haven't watched the video, please...Please watch it. I promise you, it won't be a waste of your time.
