Such A Stellar Day!

Okay listen.
My life has been pretty crazy these last few weeky-weeks! I am exhausted constantly, and I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut clean off! Between packing and moving and unpacking and school and work and homework times a trillion (yes I really do have homework already...I told you crazy!) things have been less than relaxing the last few weeks.
My new roommates are all super nice, however I feel like such a bum because most of the time I just do homework instead of being able to play and get to know them better! Even yesterday when we didn't have school our plans got foiled when it decided to rain on us. Curses!
WELL today after class one of my neighbors (and good friend) finally was able to go up the canyon a ways for rock climbing! He's pretty much an expert and has been wanting us to go for a while now, and finally we were able to go! And let me tell you, it was great! I got to meet some new people, get closer to people I already knew, and try new things (which I love!) I attempted 2 different climbs, one I completed and the other I got half way up! It doesn't sound that cool but trust me, it was super hard and I felt pretty accomplished at the end of the day. And I loved it! I had so much fun and I would love love love to go again and get better at it!
After that we just got some food and went home. I met my roommate's dad and he was super nice, and then I got cleaned up and ready for bed.
I went back to my neighbor's house and talked with another one of the guys next door, another great friend of mine. I wasn't really expecting anything, but I certainly wasn't expecting us to talk for as long as we did. It was great. We talked about anything and everything, and can I just say, I am so stinkin' grateful for this kid! I seriously would do anything for him and I hope he knows that! I missed him over the summer and it was so good to finally feel like we were able to catch up and just talk! I love it! He's a pretty great friend.
Needless to say, this ordinary Tuesday turned into a pretty great day! Nothing too crazy, but definitely something I am grateful for.
So thanks friends, you're pretty awesome, and I'm pretty lucky.

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...

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...
