The Life of Lorna and Benjamin Bryce

hi.

2010-03-27T13:36:00.000-07:00

No one reads this but im posting anyways. A little about myself .

Hi Im Lorna. Lo, Lou, Bob, Bobby-do, Lorn for short and babe to some. im nineteen years old but most days I feel like im five and probably act that way sometimes too. I have 10 brothers and sisters, four of them are full blooded, 6 are step. It works for our family. Im a dancer and gymnast, with an athletic built body, but im a little petite girl, 5'5" and only 110 pounds, give or take a couple depending on the week.

I love meeting new people, eating, cooking, motor biking, playing softball, dancing, tumbling, camping, long boarding, ripsticking, boating, bridge jumping, working out and traveling.

I have been blessed with an amazing family that travels a lot. I have been to California, Washington, Utah, Nevada, Florida, Bahamas, Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland. Places I want to travel: New York, Chicago, Egypt, Japan, China, Brazil, England, Iceland, Greenland, and Boston, plus as many places as I can get to.

Im going to Byu-Idaho getting my associates in general studies then transferring to culinary arts school, in Las Vegas hopefully. I want to study abroad and learn how to cook different styles. I plan and want to own my own restaurant someday.

This doesnt mean I dont want to have a family of my own someday, thanks for asking. This is the most frequent question asked when told futuristic goals. Yes I want a family, 4 or 5 kids preferably but if time doesnt allow that one or two will do.

Sometimes I have anger issues, but most of the time im a pretty happy go lucky girl. Im easy going and ambitious. Im a work- aholic when im not in school.

I have a best friend her name is jill, we go great together because we butt heads and say what we think, which doesnt offend either of us.

Im growing.

im learning.

im taking chances.

But most of all Im just living life.

Labels

Its funny how many people put labels on themselves. Its quite funny because we hate it when other people put labels but were okay when we put them on ourselves. We dont need labels, who said we had to fit the criteria of something or be that because of what people say we are? if so I would be a :

Drama Queen

Jock

skater

nerd

fighter

partier to some

and lover to others

Why cant we just be free willed, or a peace maker, We dont need to be known for a certain trait so that every one knows us. Some people like the labels but I don't, so maybe we should see people for who they really are and not what they have done are doing or what happened the past, thats old news and no you shouldnt have to carry anything from your past to your future if you dont want to.

Happy birthday Kirsten.

2010-03-22T11:09:00.000-07:00

Goal #4

2009-11-15T15:58:00.000-08:00

So goal number four is..... I want to someday be a culinary arts chef, mainly specializing in Bakery, yet I still want to learn how to do it all. I love cooking and have for a really long time. Too bad going to this kind of a trade school is super expensive and unrealistic for many normal Americans. Who honestly has the money to even pay for tuition? its like 40,000 a semester... i dont. okay so maybe I exaggerated the cost of tuition a little, but seriously schools like these are so expensive. Way out of my range for money. All I've really wanted to with my life is cook though... is that too much to ask?

goal #3

2009-11-13T10:57:00.000-08:00

I love traveling, and even though I have been very blessed in my life with traveling a lot with my family, I would love to travel by myself or with a future (very future) spouse. So goal number three travel the world.... and someday, yes someday I will do it.

Goal #2

2009-11-11T11:17:00.000-08:00

So the second goal of mine is to learn to play the guitar, what a beautiful instrument. No joke I have been wanting to play one forever, maybe someday I will take a class in college or something. hope someday come sooner than later....

Goal #1

2009-11-09T11:08:00.001-08:00

I have many things I want to achieve in my life. I could probably think of a billion and one, but we will start with one and expand on that.

Goal number one: Run a marathon.... as soon as I get in shape, and find a marathon to run. Also I think i will give myself two years to accomplish this goal. I have wanted to run one for so long, yet have never got the courage to do it. Two years isn't too long is it??

Im so blessed

2009-09-16T18:56:00.000-07:00

Today I was reading a blog, about a boy who has leukemia at the age of six, and i cried because I truly felt his mothers pain, and how hard it must be, and the struggles her family is going through. Though im not going through this trial myself I realize how much of a toll it has taken on the family.

I realize how truly blessed I am with my life. I see it in such a different way than I used to see it. My first perspective of life was what can life give me, how does it benefit me? Now I look at it as what can I give back to the world how can I give back to the Lord. Things this past year have changed my mind about how the Lord works and what I want to be doing with my own life. Im truly blessed to live the life I live and love giving back to the world and God. I love my life and the people in it, thanks so much for those who have blessed my life and have impacted it greatly. Im truly blessed.

Graduation

2009-05-16T11:08:00.000-07:00

As everyone knows im a senior getting ready to graduate this thursday actually. And though Im so excited, im so so very scared about it. Its not that fact that I LOVE high school and i want to stay in it as long as I can because im so ready to be done with high school. Just not starting the real life part. College scares me because there are so many new people and so many new things i havent experienced and well lets just say im not too good with new things. Moving into an apartment scares me even more the thought of living with five other girls, I dont even know and living with them for three months scares me so so bad. Also Financial stuff scares me, and stresses me out I guess because i have always had it so good, with my parents helping me out with a lot of stuff, and kind of doing my own thing on my own time. This meaning that everything now has to be kind of scheduled, and i dont do well with scheduled things. But what scares me the most is failing, and not making something of myself, or not making my family proud. I guess its the thought of letting myself down, or never doing what i've always wanted to do.

Oh well thats my little spill for the week. Hope everyone got there graduation announcements :]

because he is a reason why we are so blessed with everything

why there is so much to look forward to in life.

without all the extra excessories we are all very spoiled with.

why make center our lives around each other.

the only way to make a difference and being happy is to

build your life around christ and god.

we should all learn to love everything.

for these are my only true thoughts

my dreams my ambitions and many more.

so my motto...

" Come What May and LOVE it."

Last football game of the season.

2008-10-19T16:41:00.000-07:00

So I thought I would tell everyone about our last Football game of the season and share some pictures. It was a great night for a football game, really warm. But not many people showed up because potatoe harvest went a little longer than planned. this game decided whether or not we went to districts and state. It was an amazing game and our team played hard. We ended up with a tie at the end so we went into over time. When it was there trun they ran the ball in once and made it then punted it in and made that too. When it became our turn we ran it in and made it but when we went again our coaches decided to take a risk and run it in again, instead of punting it and they blocked us. We LOST by one point.. It was so disappionting. But I had a really fun night so here are some pictures.. enjoy.
