Kris Allen's new song!!!

I fell in love with Kris Allen when he was on American Idol. He was my favorite from the start and then he won American Idol. His new song has so much meaning behind it and LOVE listening to it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!





Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
we're hiding behind skin that's too tough
how come we don't say I love you enough
till it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
we could make a feast from these crumbs
and we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
so if your life flashed before you
what would you wish you would've done

Yeah... gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
who would you call with your last goodbyes
should be so careful who we live out our lives
so when we long for absolution
there'll no one on the line

Yeah... gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying


We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying [x2]

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live -- like we're dying

We never know a good thing till it's gone
you never see a crash until it's head on
all those people right when we're dead wrong
you never know a good thing till it's gone

Yeah... gotta start
lookin at the hand of the time we've been given here
this is all we got and we gotta start livin it
every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
gotta live like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying oh -- like we're dying [x2]

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live like we're dying
live like we're dying
[Fade out]

The newest edition to the Mortimer-Palick Family!!!

DAISY!!!


No it is not a child.... but A WIENER DOG!!!! Peter and Tina got the cutest Wiener dog EVER!!!! After much thought Tina decided to name her Daisy which is only suiting considering Tina's favorite flower is a gerber daisy. :) After much time spent together, Daisy and I are the best of friends... she told me I'm her favorite. Since I am not allowed to have dogs at my apartment I will be doing a lot of babysitting of Daisy and I can't wait. THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited?!









Lights at Temple Square!!!

Friday, November 27, 2009 after all the festivities in Provo... Ryan, Kassidy, Tina, Peter, Dad, and I all met up Temple Square to see the lights be turned out. Honestly, nothing is prettier and more peaceful then to walk around temple square and look at the lights. :) Melissa and Mom were not able to make it due to Melissa having knee surgery. Here just some of the pictures I took... I cant let everyone see the "goods!" hahahaha
























Black Friday!!!



Mom and I got up at 4am and went to breakfast then Best Buy!!! We got in line about 4:45am and we were in the store getting our deals by 5:15am. Surprisingly enough... we were out of the store by 5:45am!!!! I cant say what we all got since some of the stuff was Christmas presents and I cant have people reading what Santa got them. :)

From there grandma, Ryan and I made the journey down to Provo we I took pictures of the Petersen family. They are on my moms side... my grandmas sisters family. It was so much fun to just get out and take pictures although it was exhausting.  I loved how all the pictures turned out and cant wait to give them all the CD of the pics. :)  Here are some of the pics I took which are not fully edited.

The Family




The Siblings
















Marianne who is my moms cousins also had a mini baby shower while we were there. She named her daughter Katherine Marie... HOW CUTE!!!! :) Another highlight... Dad and Peter hiked some unmarked area above Aunt Julias. hahaha


Katherine Marie and Catherine April... the bald ones! :)


Can you see them?!?!

Thanksgiving Week...end...


What a great week... weekend its been... well minus the stupid Chemo side effects. :) November 25, 2009 I went to see my GREAT chemo doc, Dr. Anna Beck. Since my blood clot she has been very cautious about how my recovery goes. I went in for fluids to make sure I do not get dehydrated again. The nurse Tina also accidentally tested my INR level and it was at a 5.2. INR is the level at which my blood clots and 5.2 is deadly high. So I was advised not to take my blood thinner for 3 days to make my level go down. Hopefully it works. :)


Waiting some more for IV fluids. :)



The Chemo room at the SLC Cancer place.



 Wow do we look a lot a like with a bald head.


After a rough day of Chemo side effects.


Bawling our eyes out after I gave Tina a "Caring Angel" Willow Tree.


Thanksgiving was great!!!! I could not taste most my food but it was so fun to be around family! :) Especially the Packers winning was a highlight!!! Tina and I played a game called Hit the Deck, I was not up to playing much but it was still fun!






Tina and Peter!!!

A song that has definitely helped me through my days!!!

Laura Izibor



Wake up one morning you realize
Your life is one big compromise (compromise)
Stuck in the job you swore was only temporary (was only temporary)

Feel like the world is passing you by (do do do do do)
Never done all the things you would need to try
Stuck in one place, got a pain in your face from all your stressin’ out (all your stressin’ out )x2

You ask yourself there’s got to be more than what I’m living for (what I’m living for) x2
You ask yourself there’s got to be something else, something more, more, more

Well let the sun shine on your face
And don’t let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Feel like there’s nothing nowhere to go
You try and fight but you can’t let go
Roll the pain, got so much to gain
Now is the time

You ask yourself there’s got to be something else, something more, more, more

Well let the sun shine on your face
And don’t let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

You ask yourself there’s got to be more than what I’m living for (what I’m living for) x2
You ask yourself there’s got to be something else, something more, more, more

Well let the sun shine on your face
And don’t let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Well let the sun shine on your face
And don’t let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Well let the sun shine on your face
And don’t let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Second Chemo Treatment

Monday, November 23, 2009 was my second dose of Chemo. I had my same seat and my parents were both able to be there for me. My appointment was at 10am and we left at 2pm. Pretty good timing considering the last one was about 6 hours due to the allergic reaction. This time I was pumped full of Benadryl which saved me from the reaction I had earlier. 4 hours seemed to go pretty fast. I was in and out of sleep and I was thankful that most of the people who walked in did not look too sick. :) However I was the only one with a shaved head!!! :)


The beanie hides my no hair! :)


Hooked up with NO HAIR!!!


My fantastic dad who has been here in Utah now for three weeks!!!


My fantastic Mom who has and would do anything for me!!!


My wonderful nurse Nurse!!! She is the best!!!

My Weekend of pictures.

I was finally feeling good enough to get out of the house here and there and take some pictures. Being out of the house for just a short amount of time was a life saver to me. :) So here are some of the pictures I took!!!

After the great weekend of pictures taking I decided to take a break. It was something we all needed. So my mom and I went to the great Jazz game!!!! We totally won in Overtime!!!
