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...

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them.  And that is completely worth it.

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...
