Good People, Growing Pains, And All The Lovey Stuff.

I love love. I am the absolute definition of a hopeless romantic (if you look it up in the dictionary I am fairly certain you will just find a picture of my face!) I love love songs and romantic lovey movies and things of that nature. It makes me so happy to see people who are in love; to see how they look at each other. I want someone to look at me that way. I want someone to need me for forever. I want to find that person that makes all those lovey quotes you see on pinterest apply to me. Not necessarily now, I am in no hurry to get to that point of my life. But at the same time I am seeing so many people in my life at that stage, and even though I am SO not ready to be there myself I still look at how happy they are and I want that in my life some day.

I got a letter from my best friend yesterday. It has been so long since I've talked to him (besides letters) and even longer since I've seen him. Man do I miss that kid. He was very open and honest with me. It was refreshing.
I also was talking to a good friend of mine the other day. We were talking about nothing and it was just nice. Also refreshing.
One friend I have known for about a year and a half now. The other I have only known for a few months. In both cases it seems like I have known them for a life time. I adore them both. I am surrounded by good people.

As a twenty year old, I don't feel like I should be having growing pains...and yet my legs hurt like crap right now. And why on earth do I have growing pains, am I seriously growing right now? That is stupid. And it hurts. I just want to go to bed and sleep for the next three weeks. I want to go home. I want to stay here. I want answers and I wont get them, at least not right now. So instead of being a grown up I just want to climb under the covers, listen to music, and forget about the world.
Don't get me wrong, I am not depressed or anything. In fact it's quite the opposite...I am happy, truly happy, and that is pretty great. But being truly happy doesn't mean I am exempt from trials or frustration....those things are inevitable. Hence the climbing under the covers plan!:)

So I got to spend Thanksgiving with some pretty incredible people. I love my family so much! They are all so fantastic and I wish I was closer to them because they are all just genuinely good people. When we get together it is always a good time full of laughter (which is basically my favorite!) We went shotgun shooting (skeet shooting) Thursday morning and I had a blast shooting a gun for the first time. Then we went back and ate dinner, played bingo and happy family (best family tradition ever), and just enjoyed each others company. Thursday night I also got to go spend time with the other side of my family and we played Apples to Apples and laughed our heads off. The dynamic in my family in a little odd...one side of the family I am one of the youngest's and all of my cousins except two are married. The others side of the family I am the second oldest. Neither is better than the other, they are just different. But they are both good and I am so grateful for my family. The moral of the story is that when I made it back to my humble abode here in Logan (and while I was there with everyone) I was overwhelmed with love for the beautiful people in my life.



So things we learned from today's rambling....

1. I could use some answers, but if they don't come that's okay...I have a plan.
2. Growing Pains=No Bueno
3. I miss old friends, and am grateful for the new ones.
4. Family trumps everything.
5. Be romantic, sweep me off my feet, I am a sucker for the lovey stuff.

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them.  And that is completely worth it.

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or...
