Im Long winded....SORRY!...Here's...RUTH!

Day 1: Ruth

The very first time I met Ruth was in

Mr. Negro's

Sophmore Honors English Class.

Mr. Negro loved Ruth.

Ruth did not love Mr. Negro
Nor do I think she enjoyed

our class full of snots.

She sat kiddie-corner to me

and seemed to project

an air of sophistication
around her, that made me

afraid to speak to her.

(Ruth's look of Sophistication)

I first spoke to Ruth

when were put in

the same group to

play Apples to Apples.

She asked my name,

smiled and then promptly

turned to talk to her

neighbor who went to

Junior High

with her.

Oh well.

Obviously our story doesn't end here

or else why would I be blogging about her?

Junior year came

and with it

came Spanish 2

Yikes...

I'm not sure how I

even passed

Spanish 1!

With Spanish 2

came

"Table Cliques"

Ruth sat up front with all the

popular sophisticated

smart Spanish learning people.

I sat at the table in the back with the

creeper guy and the girl who

spent all class writing swear words

on her binder.

:/

One day I happened to get

to Spanish class early.

Ruth watched my walk in the door

and quickly shouted my name

"Kayla!"

Who me?

Ruth, along with James and Andrew,

waved me over, smiled and promptly

asked me to sit at their table.

:)

I was feeling quite honored until

I was informed

that they were sick

of this one kid sitting with them

so they had to fill up the table quick!

Oh well...

at least I'm better then the

annoying kid.

It turns out that Ruth and her Spanish Smarty table

liked me enough to allow my to sit at their table

from then on.

They were quite nice,

and I learned that Ruth

wasn't as scary as I thought she was.

In fact she helped me all class period long

and would pull these funny faces

at me.

Life in Spanish was finally good:)

Until I had to switch periods...

dang.

Funny Faces like this :)

Ruth and my story would have ended here,

if it wasn't for

KAMERON!

You see all through

Junior Year

I became good friend with Mr. Kameron.

In turn

KamERON

was becoming good friends

with dear Ruth,

I just had no clue it was going on...

I guess I must be thankful for Kam's
lack of credit in Science:)

To make my already LONG

Blog post not so much longer

(aka make a long story short)

Kam and Ruth became

Good Friends.

~

Kayla and Kam

became good friends.

~

Kam leaves the summer

after Graduation to live in

Texas.

~

Kayla is a bad friend

and doesn't keep

in good contact with Kam.

~

Ruth is a good friend

and stays in contact with Kam.

~

Kam comes home.

~

Kam has new mystery friend girl!

~

Kam is no longer available

24/7

because he at times is with

Mystery Girl.

~

Kayla, Bekah and Jason

are HIGHLY

curious about said

mystery girl.

~

We finally figure out Mystery Girl is

RUTH!

~

So, because we are slightly spoiled and want

Kam to hangout with us

every time we are together,

we invite Ruth to come too.

~

Poor Ruth.

We probably scared her to death.

But she kept coming back.

(Maybe only because of her love for Kam...)

and she stuck with us.

~

Ruth and I were now

"Friends"

This is KamERON and Ruth

April found me in

North Carolina as a nanny and

I had left all my friends

back in Utah.

(Obviously...)

Strangely enough

Ruth was one of the few

who tried to stay

in contact with me.

She would text me funny pictures.

Message me on facebook

and always comment on

my photos.

I grew to appreciate Ruth

ALOT.

July came and

I was back in Utah.

Life in NC had gone Horribly wrong

and life now back in Utah

was going wrong too....

Enter: Ruth.

Me and Ruth :)

Ruth has impacted my life

because she cared enough

to listen.

She let me ramble, cry and pitch fits.

She let me talk her ear off

and she walked a million times

around Bonneville track

while I did it.

Since then

Ruth has been one of

my closest friends.

Ruth is willing to see the

good in me

when all I'm doing is showing

the world the ugly.

She will listen while I ramble

on about stupid fluff

and she will cheer

me up in a heart beat.

I'm sure I drive her crazy more then

half the time,

but she sticks with me.

I'm so glad I have Ruth in my life!

Once upon a time,

I was very impressed with Ruth's

idea of blogging about someone she loved

every day in February.

So Today i though

"Hmmmm maybe out there in the blogging world

there is a challenge for each month..."

BEHOLD! There is :)

(At least according to Blogie.com)

March: Everyday Blog about how you met someone

who as made an impact in your life.

At first I thought that was a very stupid idea....

But then I realized that it could be kinda fun:)

So I'm gonna do it!

Yay me!

Hopefully I don't bore you....

Ms. Lange

Lately I have been fascinated by Dorothea Lange.

http://myhero.com/go/hero.asp?hero=d_lange

http://www.shorpy.com/dorothea-lange-photographs

I feel like we share

the same view on photography.

Un-posed people are what show the true story.

"No subject can hold anything

that is false for them for long.

So you have to wait until certain decisions

are made by the subject.

What is he going to give the camera?

And the photographer,

what is he going to take?"

- Dorothea Lange

Ms. Lange makes me feel restless.

I want to travel around like her.

I want to take photos that capture the

true meaning inside of people's lives.

I just want to follow some one all day

and document their day!

I want my photos to impact American,

Like Ms. Lange's Migrant Mother did.

Migrant Mother - 1936
This Dorothea Lange's most famous picture.
This single picture ( after circulating all of the USA) convinced the U.S. Government to send 20 thousand pounds of food to the starving pea pickers in Nipomo, California.

I WANT TO MAKE AN IMPACT.

Sympathy Protest Pains

It's 5 AM (ish)

.......

...

......

....

..

....

I'm still kinda out of it.

So it is not really the

best time to be blogging.

right.

Why am I?
No clue.

I'm also super thirsty.

I've been super thirsty all night.

Maybe it's because I dreamt

I was running.

There was also a big protest

going on in my dreams.

The problem is....

I can't quite remember what

those

dream land

people

were protesting....

My lack of sleep?

~

My bad habit of eating junk food?

~

Maybe my new addiction of

American Idol?

(I've never watched it before...it fascinates me.)

~

Maybe I was having SPP

(Sympathy Protest Pains)

for some great cause out there.

All I can say

is the little protest people

in dream land

were quite loud

and made me thirsty.

180 degree turn of the Day #48

"H"( 3) coming up to me and saying:

"Glasses make you sexy"

Lol thanks "H":)

And so my needs are great

I've tried for the past 20 minutes

to write how I feel about today

and about needing some comfort.

All I can say now is

it's time for primary songs.

It's time to sit quietly,

to ponder,

and just listen.

A Few Favorites:

*If the Savior stood beside me

*I am a child of God

*If I listen with my heart

( Primary Focus song for 2011)

Dear....

Let's pretend we're just two people and

You're not better than me.

Who do you pray for at night

before you go to sleep?

What do you feel when

you look in the mirror?

Are you proud?

These are things

I find myself

wanting to ask

people,

and even

myself,

some days.

Song of the Day: Dear Mr. President -Pink

lessons of the night life.

Lesson #47

Never ask Krystal to curl hair after 9:30 pm.

Krystal is a perfectly prefect perfectionist

and will not let you up until every hair is curled

into curls that meet the Krystal Curl Standard.

Normal this would be FANTASTIC!

But when you are running

on about 3 hours of sleep

most likely

you will fall asleep

and that's a scary thing

when your nodding off

and there a

big huge

burning metal rod

next to your ear....

Lesson #48 My hair is to short to curl into attractive curls

:(

Mad World

MAD WORLD

~Kayla Cannon Photography~

All around me are familiar faces

Bright and early for the daily races

And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
are the best I've ever had




Children waiting for the day they feel good
And I feel the way that every child should

Forgotten Love

For me,

editing photos

is a long proces.

Like wine and Cheese,

pictures get better with age.

I have come to find

that the best pictures

are the

"old"

and

"forgotten"

ones.

~~~~~

No picture though

is really

"Forgotten".

It's just tucked away

in my folders

until the time

is right to edit it.

~~~~~~

Today

the time came for

a few

"Forgotten"

pictures

of

Kameron and Ruth.

"Because

We Could All Use

More Love"

By: Kayla Cannon

Perfect

don't you ever feel

Like you're less than perfect?

Song of the Day: Perfect-Pink

Face-less

I'm a true lover

of random quotes.

Becuase random quotes can

have a million different meanings

to a million different people.

what do they mean to you?

Sometimes,

instead of making sure

the bathroom is clean

and the

Living room is tidy

for the

Super lame Bowl

party

I create

Blog titles

on my

Red Hat.

Because to be honest...

I don't care much

about Football.

Convince Yourself!

Sometimes,

for no reason at all....

I take a picture of myself.

This isn't the most flattering picture

of me

But

I feel like it captures

how I feel today.

I have 10 minutes

until Primary,

so I don't really

have time to write a

decent blog post.

So you will just have to make

due with looking

at this pictures,

reading older posts

and convincing

yourself

that you would like

me to take some pictures of

YOU!

I'm always campaigning

for models:)

Ruth and Kam are

(hopefully)

my next upcoming

photo-shoot!

I have big plans

for those two.

BIG

plans.

Imitations

No one is better then Ben Folds

when it comes to being human.

He has the perfect song for every

I-am-only-human moment I have

I mess up,

I get mixed up,

frustration reigns,

anger ensues,

and BAM!

Hello Ben Folds,

Welcome Back.
