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!:)

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...
