San Diego: Part One

Spring Break this year was fabulous! I went to San Diego with some wonderful people and it was just lovely. These are all just from the first day we were there!! We drove down in one day, and got in late Sunday night. Monday morning we got up, and headed down to Seaport Village and the pier! I was in heaven! I fell in love with the ocean this past week and want to spend every waking moment there! After the pier (where we saw the huge statute and also there was this guy with all these birds and I held one on my shoulder, which if you know me is a big deal...I hate birds!) we went to La Jolla Cove and saw the sweet sea lions on the beach! There was the funniest guy who ignored the signs and rope and just let his kids run around next to the sea lions...the one little girl had on a cinderella costume...it was all too comical to me. After that we headed down to La Jolla beach and I stood in the ocean for the very first time! Like I said earlier, I am in love! The only downside was that a seagull stole my lunch on the beach. Sad day. That night we met up with some guys that one of my roommates knows and had dinner with them. They were all such gems! After dinner (fish and chips next to the ocean, you cant beat that!) we explored downtown S.D. and it was so fun! Overall I loved it. Which is probably how the rest of my posts will go because I pretty much just soaked in everything like a sponge. It was pretty dang fantastic.

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...

How True This Is

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...
