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.

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...
