Update on my foundation...

So... This pass few days I started the awesome paperwork to get A child's need foundation up and running legally. I really never understood how much time and energy it would take to actually take. But it is worth it! I read everything I need to do to get it going. there is 11 steps and I am working on step 5 which is writing the bylaws of the foundation. which I am getting the board of directors in for a meeting next Saturday to go over everything. like the structure and rules on how this foundation is going to run. then after that is done i have to then file all the IRS forms which is the biggest part of the whole thing which will take around 3 months. blah. but after that is should be pretty easy going. A child's need foundation should be up and going by next June. I finally found something that makes me happy and something I want to spend my time on. I want to make a difference in not only my life but also for my community.

What to do next??

So right now I am at a stand still. I have no idea what I should do next... I am still waiting for my big game of kickball. Which I am hoping to have in July with my awesome co-workers and families. It going to be our first annual lunch lady BBQ. That I am in charge of. I don't know how i got conned into these things... like setting the whole thing up. But its going to be awesome! Also one of my visiting teachers MaryAnn and I are going to get a big food fight set up. Going to make announcements and everything. Its going to be a "left over" food fight. So everyone is going to bring their left overs and bring it to the park and then its on! Clean up is going to be something though... Blah Oh well So other than those two things... I am still working towards my Foundation. Its called A child's need foundation... Right now I am working on a website for it. This process is going to be hard and a lot of time and effort.. But I feel so passionate about children and making sure they are treated they way they are supposed too. It makes my heartache knowing that people actually hurt children. I read somewhere that people don't believe that child abuse happens in their neighborhood but it does. Its okay to talk about it, to raise awareness about it but it can be prevented by not keeping it a secret. I could talk hours about this. Ha ask my family they tell me to shut up all the time. So I will spare you all... for now Later

more Poems

Ha I guess I am an angry writer. Stupid boys...

This is called.."Are you kidding me?"

I knew Liking you would be a mistake
But that was a price I was willing to take
It just made me feel a little stupid
I should learn never to trust cupid
you were cleverly disguised
the "real" you, you never advertise
your eyes and you smile threw me through a loop
I guess its now time for me to regroup
You wonder why I'm still single?
Are you kidding me?

I'm so sick of all the excuses
yet i'm the one who loses
you think you're so amusing
but you are only confusing
Just keep pretending i don't exist
Just someone who is easily dismissed
I'm done with this charade
and the stupid games you played



You always act carefree and nonchalant
like your the only thing I want
you act like your better than the rest
like some prize to be possessed
your the one acting callow
Yet I'm the one who's shallow?
Darlin' look in the mirror your pushin 39
with a receding hairline
You wonder why your still single?
Are you kiddin' me??

I'm so sick of all the excuses
yet i'm the one who loses
you think you're so amusing
but you are only confusing
Just keep pretending i don't exist
Just someone who is easily dismissed
I'm done with this charade
and the stupid games you played


This is called "Over you"

No need to tell me twice
The message is crystal clear
That I'm not the one for you
But darlin' you never did try
whose fault is that?
you kept me at a distance
giving me a glimmer of hope
you said you want love
Just what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?

I saw your flaws
as instant beauty
hearts on sleeve
unprotected
I'm the Only one noticing you
Keep on pretending
Cause darlin' I'm over you!

You wait your whole life long
for a girl who does not exist
the images in your head aren't real
you want what you cant have
Although I'm right here
Then you wake up one day
wondering where the time went
Then you realized you were wrong
Yeah you were wrong


I saw you flaws
as instant beauty
hearts on sleeve
unprotected
I'm the only one noticing you
Keep on pretending
Cause darlin' I'm over you!


you will come to your senses one day
And ask for another chance
that is when I will say...

I saw your flaws
As instant beauty
I wore my heart on my sleeve
unprotected
I was the only one watching you
so keep on pretending
cause Darlin' I'm over you

I'm over you
I'm over you.


This is called "But you dont have a clue"

What's the point in love?
Unkempt promises, heartache and pain
I've been down this road before
does anything really change?
My heart is surrounded by this wall
only the strong will get in
But you don't have a clue


I told myself to never fall again
that love only makes you weak
that I was made to be alone
to become Miss Independent
but truth be told, that is a lie
I want to know what love really is
But you don't have a clue

when we talked for the first time
something inside me changed that night
you caused a spark inside my empty heart
I have never felt that way before
is it a crush or is it something more?
I'm taking the risk, taking a shot for you
can you see the sign? Its right there
Do you see the clues??

This is called "Robot"

In a world full of emotion
I find it difficult to express myself
So i bottle up exactly what i feel
I live life like a robot
I give nothing away
watching people live life to the fullest
Has always made me wonder?
what if I was different?
who would i be?
What would I feel?
what would i become?
what would I do?
Am I living or just existing?
I will never know
Because I live life like a robot
I give nothing away...

This is called "Unrequited Love"

You came into my life not knowing just what you have done
My heart on the line, wishing I wasn’t the only one
I would have loved you with my whole heart
Now when I look at you it just tears me apart
You are the jack of all trades the king of rejection
Looking into the mirror at my reflection
I say


I can’t do this much longer
People say it will only make me stronger
I just wished you felt the same way too
Letting go is the only thing I have left to do
It’s tearing me up inside my soul
Just to be with you was my goal
This thing called Unrequited love
This thing called unrequited love sucks


You were something special, someone I liked to be around
Now when I see you it just makes me feel down
You were everything, you made me want to live
Your were someone I wanted to be with
I guess you couldn’t have cared less
Because of you now my life is a mess
I say

I cant do this much longer
People say it will only make me stronger
I wished you felt the same way too
Letting go is the only thing I have left to do
Its tearing me up inside my soul
Just to be with you was my goal
This thing called unrequited love
This thing called unrequited love sucks


I love your smile
I love your style
The way you walk
The way you talk
I just can’t get enough
I am just going to move on
To find out where I belong
Because you don’t feel the same way
I am not going to put my life on delay
Time will only tell
This is putting me through hell
I say

I can’t do this much longer
People say it will only make me stronger
I wished you felt the same way too
Letting go is the only thing I have left to do
Its tearing me up inside my soul
Just to be with you was my goal
This thing called unrequited love
This thing called unrequited love sucks


This is called "Destined to be someone"

God take my hand and guide my pen
Help me to show others how I feel within

Its time for me to say goodbye
Just stand back and watch me fly

Even before my life begun
I knew I was destine to be someone

I knew this life was going to be a struggle
Many thing I would need to learn to juggle

Work, family, religion, education to name a few
To overcome obstacles and before you knew it I grew

I knew there was going to be heartache and pain
But I knew everything that I would gain

Life has been hard I have had lots of frustration
I have issues, I’m damaged I have lost my concentration

I have built walls, I have pushed others away
I have prayed, hoped and wished that I would just be okay

Its hard for me to express how I feel
Things from my past they feel so real

The past comes and still haunts me
This however is not who I want to be

I came here and I struggled in many ways
But it’s the reason who and what I am today

I am human, I make mistakes and by far not perfect
But my mistakes and imperfection is something I try to correct

I want to stand for something ,something that’s good
Because it something I know I should

I want to be the voice for those who cant speak
For the dead, for the children, for the meek

I want to change the world one heart at a time
I am sick of the world dealing with its crime

To give a helping hand or just to listen
I just know the world would just glisten

I am destined to do great things as long as I try
I know I am destined to be a Goddess on high


This is called "True love and fairytale ends"

They say true love is hard to find
Be patience just give it time

forget how fairy tales end
Whats the message its trying to send?

In my life when it rains it pours
I have been hurt to many times before

I built these walls so high it can not break
Protecting my heart from the evil and fake

To let someone in to see the real me
I am afraid they won’t like what they see

Physical pain is something I can endure
Dealing with my heart I am not quite sure

My life has been rejection after rejection
Sometimes it hard to look at my reflection


Then you walked into my life, you took my breathe away
I still don’t know what I am supposed to say

You make me happy, you make me smile
You make me want to go that extra mile

Right now my head and heart are playing a tug a war game
To tell you how I feel, would it still be the same?

To risk, to lose, to stumble, to fall
Or to take a chance to win it all

I’m afraid to think how much I like you
Tell me do fairy tale ends really come true?




This is my first poem i ever wrote its kinda sad but its the way I felt. so here it is... Its called "The worth of a soul"

she was confused and hated everything
she was quiet and shy and would never sing
she didn't have a lot of friends she did things with
she was always alone and didn't want to live

she tried to get help but was very scared
she thought no one really cared
she thought who am I ? What have I done?
she thought she was boring and not that fun

all she wanted was for people to be nice
and maybe to give her some advice
they told her to grow up and to get out more
its not that hard just open the front door

Little did they know her spirit was screaming
she thought her life didn't have a meaning
she thought she wasn't very pretty or very smart
her self esteem was just falling apart

one day when things were very bad
all alone and feeling sad
she thought about getting a knife
just to end her precious life

instead pills, to sleep, to never awake
all because she thought her life was one big mistake

Thank someone who has changed my life...

So somethings you should know about me is that i am super super shy and really really quiet. I don't usually let people into my life with the fear of being rejected/hurt. My whole life I have felt undesired and that I am not worth the time or energy. I would rather spend my time away from people even my family sometimes. Because I have a fear of them not accepting me or them criticizing me.(even thought I know that this fear is crazy) Although I long and have a great desire to have healthy relationships. It takes me a long long time to open up and for people to see the "real me" I have a lot of insecurities and i am working on being more out going and being more friendly and to open up... Through out my life I have had a small support group who has been with me my whole life even when i thought the worst of myself they are the ones who remind me how far i have come and how truly strong i really am. I am really grateful for them and they have no idea how much they truly mean to me.
But I am going to talk about one person specifically. I haven't know her my whole life but it seems like I have known her that long. She has accepted me flaws and all and still wants to be my friend, when most everyone would just turn and walk out of my life. Her name is Keely. She started working with me in feb. 2009. It did take me a while to open up but once i did we became close friends. She has even made me more out going I am doing thing i would never have thought of doing. like the sky coaster... Keely i am so grateful that you walked into my life as a great friend. You are the best!!

Camping!!

So... During memorial day weekend I had an opportunity to go camping with ammon my brother and Lacey his fiance and her dad side of the family along with my favorite people ever Rykert and Lilly!! I didn't know really what to expect. My whole life i have felt like a 3rd wheel.. just tagging along. I hate it. but during this experience I felt welcomed.:) I got the opportunity to go shooting, fishing and my favorite 4 wheeling. I am glad i went i got closer to my brother and to Lacey and i am glad she is going to be apart of our family next month.

My next adventure....

So I am hoping to have this big Kickball game and Night games sometime soon.... within the next week. Then Next weekend I am going with Ammon, Lacey, Rykert and Lilly and Lacey's dad side of the family camping and doing other sweet fun things (4 wheeling and fishing??)... Yeah it might be a little awkward (like a fish out of water kind of feeling)... I will let you know... And then when i get back from camping Whits will be home from Australia Yay!!

Buying a Trampoline and Jumping on it.

So growing up me and my siblings were never allowed to jump on trampolines. My mom said it was to dangerous. Apparently I was the only one who ever listened. So for Rykert and Lillys birthday this year May 22nd and May 31st I bought the sweetest trampoline ever for them but deep down for me also haha!! the only way my mom would let me buy one is if it had a enclosure with it... So Ammon, Jaime, Lacey and I set it up and now we are just waiting until we get the kids this weekend so we can enjoy this new fun exciting trampoline... I am the best aunt ever!!

Roller Derby

So this past Saturday I took Ammon and Lacey to A roller derby for Ammon's birthday. Also my friends Kevin and Paul came with us. Ha where to begin with this Lovely experience.... It was Awesome but so WhItE TrAsH haha. A bunch of angry ladies roller skating and smacking each other very entertaining. I was thinking that once I learn how to roller skate I will one day be a roller derby girl. My name will be wait for it.... Lightning and Thud-her clever I think so... My favorite Roller derby chick was name (Brew haha) what that even means I have no idea but she looked FrEaKy!!

This one is called "take me back(to the swing)"
When I was a child, I lived carefree
Where I could be anything I wanted to be
Back on the swing, where I would spend my day
Where I could say anything I wanted to say
Swing Swinging such a lovely view
Where I could do anything I wanted to do
Take me back to the swing

When you told me, you loved me, I believed it
all your lies and your quick wit
I'm not longer able to be who I am
I have to listen to your every demands
Used and abused then tossed away
I listened to every hateful word you had to say
Please take me back to the swing

Today is the day I will make a stand
I will No longer listen to your demands
I am taking back what is mine
You have no more control of my Life
Tonight as I left I looked up to the sky
On the swing now, I'll be swinging High!

Written for Jessica!

That is a few of them... more to come

A group of us ( Me, Keely, Ammon, Lacey, and maybe Jaime and who knows who else) Are wait for it..... Yes going to a Roller derby event... I am way way stoked!! More to come next saturday!!!

Sky Coaster at Lagoon!!

Ok so going on the sky coaster I was all hyped about going.. Until I arrived at lagoon and actually saw the ride. Not gonna lie I was terrified... Yikes!! All day I was talking myself out of riding that ride... But when push came to shove Jaime, Keely and Keely's sister Cara talked me into it.... I was freaked out... But let me tell you It was the most Awesome ride EVER!!! I loved it so much I rode it twice... Here are the videos of it!!

Go to a renaissance festival and throw a pie at someone!!

Two in one! So me and my friend Keely found out about this Renaissance festival and since its on my list we had to go to it! Keely came by my house around 9ish and we headed out on our great expedition! Basically we had no idea where it was only that it was in Lindon... we were just driving around for a while... then eventually we found it... We got out and we still had like 15 min. before it started... We got out and the first thing we say was Llamas Heck yes!! So normally we got our picture taken by it.. Which by the way I think they Love Keely!! Then we started walking around checking out what this is all about... But since its Utah... the weather is so unpredictable it was rainy and cold. Not much was going on and we were hungry and wanted hot chocolate so we went to a gas station. Oh my yummy donuts and scorching mint hot chocolate!! Once we got food in our stomach and got warmed up we went back to the Festival. Once we got there we were intrigued by the music that was started playing.. Surrounded by people dressed like the time of the renaissance... (kinda judge them just a little) ha... So after the little music and dancing.. Keely and I walked around the booths and I bought me a fabulous necklaces. I got my picture taken with a knight sweetneSS!! and then I saw a booth Pie throwing, I was like " What the heck? AweSome!) Because it is also on my list of things to do... We had to go exchanged money for renaissance money. WeIrD!! We went back and got to throw 2 pies in this kids face... Then Keely had to get her nails painted. We found out that it was a Charter school that was doing the festival, raising money for different things. Awesome I think so!

Have my heart broken :'(

Having your heart broken sucks, MaJoR! And why would I even want this on my bucket list? Well the way I see it if you don't know what pain feels like you wont know what pleasure feels like... So that is why I want to have this on my list... Now I would love to have my heart broken just once however that has not worked out that way... BoYs AgGgGh!!! So with me I can only like one boy at a time, I am not a expert juggler haha. So I can count how many boys that have captured my heart on one hand. I am not the prettiest or the thinnest girl out there and I would consider myself a tomboy and a tad awkward... So normally you wouldn't expect to look out my front window to see a line of boys waiting to confess their undying love for a girl like me... and you would be correct. There has really only been 2 guys that I have been really crazy about but me being shy I never really acted on my feelings. The first guy I liked for 10 years and the last guy I have like for 6... Once I told the last guy how I felt and he didn't feel the same way... I actually heard my heart break in two. I find it really hard to express my feelings out loud... But I write it in poems or songs. so here is a song I wrote for S.

this is called Unrequited love

You came into my life not knowing just what you have done
My heart on the line, wishing I wasn’t the only one
I would have loved you with my whole heart
Now when I look at you it just tears me apart
You are the jack of all trades the king of rejection
Looking into the mirror at my reflection
I say


I can’t do this much longer
People say it will only make me stronger
I just wished you felt the same way too
Letting go is the only thing I have left to do
It’s tearing me up inside my soul
Just to be with you was my goal
This thing called Unrequited love
This thing called unrequited love sucks


You were something special, someone I liked to be around
Now when I see you it just makes me feel down
You were everything, you made me want to live
Your were someone I wanted to be with
I guess you couldn’t have cared less
Because of you now my life is a mess
I say

I cant do this much longer
People say it will only make me stronger
I wished you felt the same way too
Letting go is the only thing I have left to do
Its tearing me up inside my soul
Just to be with you was my goal
This thing called unrequited love
This thing called unrequited love sucks


I love your smile
I love your style
The way you walk
The way you talk
I just can’t get enough
I am just going to move on
To find out where I belong
Because you don’t feel the same way
I am not going to put my life on delay
Time will only tell
This is putting me through hell
I say

I can’t do this much longer
People say it will only make me stronger

Letting go is the only thing I have left to do
Its tearing me up inside my soul

Talking in a helium voice

Yeah, yeah,I know who has not sucked the helium out of a balloon? Well let me tell you Me, I haven't... I thought I already have low count of brain cells why do I want to lose anymore? But I finally did it. So my brother Ammon and his fiancee Lacey took me to Macy's and I bought a Yellow balloon I came home and cut the balloon and read a poem I wrote. I did struggle but finally got the hang of it right as i ran out of helium... I don't think I will do that one again...

CPR and First Aid Certified!

Its always a good thing to be CPR and First Aid Certified. You never know when a tragedy is going to happen and when you will need to use your knowledge... I have always wanted to do this just so I can say "mOvE iT, CpR CeRtIfIeD cOmInG ThRoUgH" but never gotten that far in my plan... So my sister Whitney needed to get CPR certified and First aid certified for a class in school. I was like " Holy crap I am going with you" She was like " Um... Okay?? but why would you want to go if you don't have to go" I was like just for fun... Ha so the day came to go to the long long class. everyone there was their for either work or some class. we went around and said our name and why we are doing this class. when it came to me I said proudly " I am taking this class for FUN!!" oH tHe LoOkS i GoT!!

Being a Mascot!!

They say, WaTcH oUt fOr tHe QuIeT oNeS rIgHT? Well, yes that is sOoOoOo true... Here is my story on how I was a MaScOt... So my Dad was involved with the Provo Angels baseball team... And my brother, who was the mascot, couldn't make it to a few promotions... So who got cOnNeD into being Charlie, the st. Bernard. If you guessed me, you are soooo right! I don't know what they BrIbEd me with but I am easily bribed. Give me a mt. dew and I will do almost anything, "I said ALMOST". Let me tell you it smelt what I would imagine a BoYs LoCkEr RoOm to smell like... Ha I was like are you SeRiOuSlY expecting me to walk around here in this hEcK hOlE and want me to act ChIpPeR? yeah??... I was soooo glad to strip off that nasty suit and go home and scrubbed off that awful smell. And that is how I became a mascot!

Being a Vegetarian for at least a year...

Yes that's right I am a lUnCh LaDy! I work with MeAt every day. I have worked there ever since I grad. from high school.And LeT me tell you... sEeInG, SmEeLiNg and ToUcHiNg ground beef has its perks, of course, as does any job... WaIt, wHaT?? ha :) Yeah I have never been a BiG fAn of meat ever since I was younger an example.... Growing up my mom would fix us tinfoil dinners which included Ground beef, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, and other vegetables. Me and my older sister Jaime would trade food... I gave Jaime my meat for her carrots. (YeAh... wHo'S tHe StRoNg oNe NoW?) So it was a easy decision for me to just go cOlD tUrKeY (no pun intended) on giving up meat. However after a year of eating no meat I starting craving a nice Hamburger. I was like "nOoOoOo" "Have I gone IlL" I just kept telling myself No, no don't give into TeMpTaTiOn. But the next day that smell was dRiViNg mE WiLd... I cAvEd :( and although I still eat meat, I really don't enjoy it (that much.) jUsT sAyIn'

Smashing something on purpose...

Ha fUnNy story, I will talk about this one for years to come... Okay I am a avid MoViE collector. I LoVe lOvE LoVe Movies!! However a month ago my beloved DVD player DiEd :'( Yeah I know)... I think jAiMe, WhItNeY aNd I watched New moon the night before and Jaime needed to return it and when we tried to get it out it wouldn't open.. so FiNaLlY I got the dvd out and I knew it was a goner I thought "Oh H no" I am usually even tempered, calm... But when it comes to movies don't mess me... So I unplugged my dvd player and was mumbling some words.. Some of my family was in the back yard and some were in the kitchen I opened the back door and just chucked my dvd player as hard as I could and then wait for it yes I went out and jumped on it.. Ha the lOoKs on my families face PrIcElEsS!!

Tanning!!

Okay I will be the first to AdMiT it, I am wHiTe (gHoStLy WhItE more like it) Been that way for a long long long did i mEnTiOn Long time... Sooo... Me and my sister Whitney decided to go tanning towards the beginning of April. We have gone EvErYdAy but Sundays. Yeah pretty much I lOvEeEe tanning!! Everyday I would get done tanning asking everyone in my family and the Ladies who I work with "aM i TaN nOw?" they pretty much looked at me and said nope it takes time or if I SqUiNt from a distance and look at you from a angle with the right lighting you look SoRt oF look tan. I was like WHAT, CoMe oN??... So probably the last week I have had people say Wow you look tan! All I can say is.... About fLiPpIn' time!!:)

Writing a fan letter to someone famous...

Okay, so basically writing a fan letter in my opinion is something little jr. high kids do... I was like what the hEcK do I even write? " OMG, I lOvE you!!" or " You are sOoOoOo Hot! ha... I ReAlLy felt WeIrD writing it... I actually looked up on google on what you should say in writing a fan letter... Ha!! So for those of you who know me I am a HuGe, hUgE fan of CSI:LV and Law and order: SVU! So nOrMaLlY my 3 favorite actor/actresses are wIlLiAm PeTeRsEn, JoRjA fOx and MaRiSkA hArGiTaY. So basically I am going to write to one of them if not aLl of them... So I looked on-line to see where I should send my letters. And the only address I could find was jOrJa FoX. ( for everyone who doesn't know who she is... She plays sArA on CSI) I wrote her, mailed it... Now I am just WaItInG to see if I get a response back Haha!!! Yeah, I'm a iDiOt!! :)

Asking a complete stranger out and going on a blind date!!

So basically everyone knows I am ShY. So anything that has to do with dAtInG and BoYs is a real struggle for me... Here are two things that I looked back and think "DaNg Cori, What were you smoking?!?!" Um first asking a complete stranger out... Boy was that nerve racking... It started a few summers ago when my two amazing sisters worked at the Scera Shell ( taking tickets) I decided to go help them for a few weeks during the play Fiddler on the Roof. (love the play by the way) I noticed this boy that was in the play and just admired him from afar... His name was/is Steve, but he wore this plaid shirt so Jaime, Whitney and I called him luke. Because Luke on gilmore girls always wore those type of shirts... And of course Whitney and Jaime knew I thought he was extremely good looking. So they would always say "Luke Luke Luke" and every time he would walk by instead of saying his name they would be like "Hey Cori, Its Luke" Well it was the last day and basically my sisters dared me to ask him out. So it was like 2 min. before he went on stage and I said to myself "SeLF, Its now or never" So I just marched right up to him and introduced myself and asked if he wanted to go to a concert the next week. He said Yeah, sounds like fun! Then I gave him my number and walked away. He called and we went to the concert, had a blast...
Next going on a blind date... Well I have been on a few of them. Jaime and "Jerold" (we don't talk about him) lined me up with "Jerold's" friend we will just call him "Bob". So I was like what the hey, Lets do it!! So being old fashion thinking well I am being lined up, either we go dutch or he should pay... Right??.. Boy was I wrong... I paid for the Whole FlIpPiN' date.... We went to Chuck-a-rama, then walked the mall then we went to wait for it.... Yes a hypnotist! I tried to get HypNoTiZeD I was sooo close too... Then they took us home. Lets just say he was Sooo not my type. Now I know that I am a rIoT and all but no matter what I said he laughed He showed me pictures of his dog"(which by the way he carries it with him in his pocket) and he is at his dream job right now as wait for it yes a part time janitor. He sweats like no other and a bunch of other stuff.. And that is why I don't like blind dates.

Chess?...

Okay ChEsS to me always seemed SoOoOo confusing.... I didn't understand it at all. Plus I don't have the Patience for it. Although a part of me way deep deep down inside has always wanted to be Awesome at chess(the GeEkNeSs in me) ha. 27 years and I have never touched a chess set. All I knew about chess is there is a king and queen and a horse piece.
So my LoVeLy sister Jaime said "come here Cori" she went out to the garage and got My brother(Ammon) Chess set... She told me what the names were and how they moved. Guess what I cant ReMeMbEr most of what she taught me... So, we played a game and pretty much I got BeAt, bEaT bad.... Maybe just maybe I might play again. One day I will be GrEaT at it!!
