This is one of my most favorite times of the year. Everyone has a little bit of sunshine in their eyes and the sun kissed feeling is one that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Since school has been out life has slowed down quite a bit...and yet I feel like a lot has happened. And I am extremely excited for the rest of the summer.

I love how summer can bring people together and take them different directions at the same time. Everyone does their own thing and it's fantastic and carefree.

Here are my most recent happenings.

Michael got married. I love this kid to death and I have never seen him with a bigger smile on his face! Dani is fantastic as well and I could not be happier for the two of them! I got to see some of my favorites at the reception and I even got to dance with the groom!:) (Which was probably my favorite part!) I spent three days at Bear Lake with some of the coolest people I know (seriously I have the best job!) and had a blast! Tin foil dinners, sand volleyball tournaments, card games, dance competitions, "The Hunger Games", countless laughing, egg tosses, heart to heart chats, lots and lots of crepes, even more dirty dishes, and tears of all kinds. Haha I am grateful for this bunch of weirdos that I get to spend so much time with! We've had a Cinco De Mayo fiesta, watched the sunset from the roof, created a chalk wall, and a bucket list wall. We've had family dinners and cooked delicious food. And shared some really great times. I am really looking forward to the rest of the summer to see what it has to offer.

The other thing I wanted to talk about for a second was people. Good people. People that make you feel good about yourself. People that really listen. People who quickly become important in your life and you cant understand how things were okay without them there. I am blessed with some of these wonderful people in my life and today especially I am feeling very grateful for a few of them in particular. I would do anything and everything for them and just being together makes me smile. People who when I am having a bad day, I know that I don't even have to say anything, just being around them makes me feel better. People are good. And I hope sometime that I can be that person for someone else.






















Peace and Blessings everybody! And cheers to a great summer!:)

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. ...

Tonight I Feel Broken.

Not completely, but a little bit yeah. I am so tired, my eyes are heavy and they burn. I have no desire to do anything at this point. It's cold and my body just sort of hurts. We've gotten snow the last two days and I am not a fan. Last night I got a phone call from my Father. Apparently my parents haven't been talking to each other about some things in my life the way I had hoped. I sat on my floor a sobbed talking to my Dad on the phone. I miss him. Not only is he my Dad, but he's one of my best friends and favorite people to be around. We had a very good talk and it helped me a lot...or so I thought. I then spent the night watching a movie and hanging out with some friends. It was great. I cant explain the love I feel when I am with such wonderful people. I went to bed last night just as confused as I the night before, just as confused as I will tonight. It's hard. My Mom keeps telling me I can do hard things. Today she made me promise that when I doubt myself or...
