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...

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...

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...
