I think I might be getting closer....

"Beauty is in the way you live. Enjoy your surroundings. Let them inspire you. Follow your own path, and approach everything you do with love in your heart."

-Amy Butler

Amy Butler is a wonderful designer. Look at her fabrics for any color inspiration you need.
Enjoy!

Cheers!

p.s. I do think I am getting closer to deciding on my major! finally.

I forgot about the inspiration!

Since Sunday was only a day ago (yeah yeah almost two) here is a little blog that made me shed tears and made my heart swell. This is a story about Tripp and how much love mother loved him. Truly a blog that raises awareness and shows you what true love is.

I'M BACK!

I have gone and traveled a part of the world, and now I am back for the long run (at least the time being). I traveled and lived in China, visited Thailand and had an adventure of a lifetime that I want to tell you all about. I cut off all my hair, just altered a whole bunch of my clothing and I am ready to take on the blog world again. Hopefully your eyes are ready to read all my ramblings!

Keep on loving and wandering the world friends!

cheers.

Live the language

(click on picture for live the language video)

The man in the video went to Beijing to live the language. I am doing the same thing when I go to Wenling (except I get to teach little kids how to speak English)!! I have the wisdom tooth pulled, the shots done and the physical all done. Now all I have to do is get those lesson plans done and get 4 months into a 50 pound weight limit bag!



Cheers!

Inspirational Sunday

Here are just a couple that have really struck me lately, now let your minds feast upon it too:

"You are daughters of the Almighty. Limitless is your potential. Magnificent is your future if you will take control of it." -President Gordon B. Hinkley

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on." -Prospero from The Tempest by William Shakespeare

Do not be afraid. Look only at the positive. Just do it.

cheers.

p.s. bad news, blog doesn't work in China...soooo it looks like this will not be the source to see my adventures in a foreign land, email will be!

These things really have mattered most

All I can say is wow. Has it really already been two years since I started college? Am I really 20 already? Am I really at the place that I am at? I guess the answer is yes. Here I am at that moment in time when I blink in astonishment that I am already on to the next big thing in my life. But I do not want to continue without first remembering all the moments that have truely mattered most and have made me into a happier completed person.

1. I finally have my associates! Yup I walked with it last Saturday in my blue gown waving good-bye to those foundations I will never have to do again!
2. I have turned the big 20. But do not fear, I can use the excuse of this is my first year in adulthood so I still make stupid mistakes and it be ok.
3. I gained some pretty good friendships. You are meant to meet everyone one for a reason. I surely did meet and live with two of the most special girls. Kylynn and Erin are the smartest, most hard working and loving roommates I have yet lived with. I shared with them some of the most tender moments I have yet lived. We cared, laughed, cried and rode our bikes into horizon together. We shook our fists at responsibility and we encouraged each other to be diligent. Who needs to go shopping when you have an Erin to trade clothes with who tells you how pretty you look that day? How can I ask for a better adventure buddy than Kylynn? I owe them a lot for teaching me how to be stronger, laugh at things more and just plain old be me. Thanks ladies for loving me. You two hold a very dear place in my heart.
4. Ran the midnight 5K, Bolder Boulder 10K, and finished a Lazy man Iron man.
5. Learned how to batik, knit, embroider, sew plaid shirts, hoodies, dress pants and quilt.
6. I went to the beautiful Colorado and Utah and gained some amazing memories.
7. Discovered a new food group called frozen yogurt
8. Had a hands down awkward moment when stubbling upon the hidden park my roommates were set on finding and almost walking over a couple making out. You can say I did not get to go on the merry-go-round that night...
9. Educated the roommates on the importance of washing strawberries before you eat them: because [Mexican] pee is all over them- I wouldn't wash my hands either if I was out there.
10. Saw little ducklings on one of the many rides to nature park
11. Learned first hand that beach cruisers do not belong on skate parks no matter how dark it is outside with no one else to see you biff but your good friend (also happened at mentioned skate park)
12. Slept in a tent in the side yard of our house (benefit of living in a moldy basement of a house, you get yards!)
13. Tasted fried coke. Yes it can be fried. No it is not actual soda, it is flavored batter.
14. I learned how to live hard and to love hard.

Sadly, I said some goodbyes to sweet, dear friends whom I will not see for awhile. But that is ok, I know I will see them again soon. But to all those going on missions for the Church I wish you luck and possibly I will see you out there. Those of you continuing with school, good luck becoming a dang blasted genius. Those of you having finished school, have fun being an adult in the real world, I wish you success.

cheers. xoxo.
