In Love?

OHMYHEART! Yesterday I went snowboarding for the very first time. And I think I might be in love. I had such a great time, and I did so much better than I expected too. And as I am laying here in bed writing this, my ENTIRE body in pain, I cant help but think about how I am going to make it up to Beaver again...the only explanation is that I must be crazy!!
First off I have to say this. I have some pretty great friends. In a group of five people I was the only one who had no experience skiing/snowboarding whatsoever. Three were skiers and two of us were snowboarders and I was starting at zero. They were all so patient with me and so nice!! I was getting so frustrated with myself about half way through and then I was even more frustrated because I felt like I was keeping them from having a good time. I just feel so thankful that they were kind enough to let me tag along and to teach me! They are all gems and I don't know what I did to deserve such wonderful people in my life. Blessed for sure!
So first off we get to Beaver and go in to do rentals and they give me ski boots...but I had no clue...so my friends saved me then....then I get strapped in and my dear snowboard friend started teaching me how to snow plow. I WAS AWFUL. It took me so long to try and get to the lift. But that was exactly how I expected the entire night to go. Then we get in line for the lift and he doesn't tell me anything he just sort of throws me into it all, which was fine, I did okay. Then we're at the top of the mountain. Again, fully prepared to spend the entire night on my butt I get started. IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO GO DOWN THAT FREAKING MOUNTAIN! I felt so bad! I kept falling and my friend was so patient and helpful and kind. So anyways I snow plowed down the mountain and got back in line for the lift. Rode back to the top, and this time I went down with a friend who was a skier...she stayed with me and she was so sweet! I did exponentially better that second time down the mountain...the number of falls in the single digits. Hahaha my friend was cracking me up though...every time I would fall I she would yell "Ky...did that hurt?" Ha let's just say they all hurt at least a little bit. I continued to go down the mountain and I felt like I was getting it a lot better than I expected but then at the same time I was getting so incredibly frustrated with myself. I am competitive. Even if it is just with myself. But I had a blast! Even falling on my butt and COMPLETELY wiping out all night (I am grateful my Mother raised me wearing helmets or else I would be in trouble right about now...I had some pretty intense crashes last night!) was just so much fun. and i feel like this will help make the cold weather more bearable, I hate it just a little bit less. Basically I loved it! I cant wait to go again...and I own my friends cookies or dinner or something for being such gems to me!:)

Life-Blood of My Soul

I love music. It is everything good and happy and right with the world and at the same time can say even the saddest words with such elegance and grace. It can express my thoughts and emotions in way that I know I never could. It is the life-blood of my soul. It makes me happy. And it goes beyond anything I can explain in plain words...which is kinda the point. For me, country music (among a few other things) makes me feel like I am home, no matter what is going on in my life. It is simply fantastic, in fact two of my favorite quotes come from the movie August Rush. They are... "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars."  AND  "I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales..." And if those two don't say it all then I don't know what will. They are simply perfect in my opinion, and are completel...

“People haven’t always been there for me, but music always has.”

Seems like there’s always someone who disapproves, they’ll judge it like they know about me and you. I was lucky like a four leaf clover.  All you need is love, love, Love is all you need.  Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able, you know, the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet. Fathers be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers, so mothers be good to your daughters, too. Freedom, well, that's just some people talking. Your prison is walking through this world all alone.   I said, “leave,” but all I really want is you. Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, b ut I realized some bigger dreams of mine. On my knees and out of luck,  I look up.   The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.  Don't test the ones you love, it will only tear us down, if you want to feel alive then learn to love your ground. You call me up again...

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...
