Brief

I'm gonna keep it short. Blogging hasn't been my thing lately. I've been journaling...but I feel like there's not much I want the world to know.

Here's the skinny:

1) I'm working at the Windmill for the summer...it's a nice change from the Stortini's thing.
2) I would much rather be in Seattle.
3) Every minute I can, I'm at the lake with Dallas. It's the only time I truly feel like it's summer.
4) I'm counting down the days to my Cayman Islands trip (right now, 25)
5) I think I might start writing a book...this shall be interesting.

Peace <3

Update:

Hello world,
I feel like it's been awhile...again! I've been horrible at keeping up lately. Even James commented on it! (Are you happy now, James? You got a shout-out!)
So let's see...freshman year is pretty much over. I have one more final on Thursday, and that's it! I move out, and I've completed one year of college. How crazy is that?!? I can't believe how fast time has gone by, it literally feels like yesterday that I was at my first tailgate, moving in, wandering the Ave. with no idea where to go or what to do. I loved Seattle before, but after living here (even if it was just for a year) I can't imagine living in a place other than a city. I absolutely love it.
I've booked my flight to go to the Cayman Islands with Chanel and her family at the end of July! I honestly couldn't be more excited about that trip. It's going to be absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to just lay on the beach with my best friend for a week! :) So excited!!!!!!
Also in news, I defaced my body a little bit more. This time, no piercings...but I do have a new little addition on my ankle! :) Been wanting a tattoo for a really long time, and this is the design I've had in mind for over a year now! Finally went and got it done this past weekend and I'm stoked! I love it.


My parents weren't so thrilled...but I'm pretty sure I had them convinced and prepared before they found out yesterday so it wasn't too bad! It's still weird looking down at my foot though and realizing that it's there - forever. Love it!
Cannot wait for summer...Dallas and I have already planned our first lake day for this weekend. Pretty much the minute I arrive home. Nick's home this weekend. Matt's coming home in the beginning of July for a week. I'm going to the Caymans. Danielle and I already have tickets to see John Mayer, Keith Urban and The Avett Brothers at the Gorge in August. It's going to be a pretty legit three months!
I'm off to work now, but there's a bit of a life update for all of you readers :)
Much love, as always.

2 years

Time is an incredible thing. Honestly, it flies by! But I find it incredible that when you look back on important events, turning points, etc. you can remember every minute detail.

Exactly two years ago, May 29, 2008, somebody wrote me a letter. At the time it meant the world to me - I could have read it a million times and never gotten tired of reading the same words over & over again. And in a way, it still means as much, just in a different way.

This single piece of paper, which I uncovered while reorganizing parts of my closet, has reminded me of how much I've grown, how much I've changed, and prompts me to think of what is to come in my life.

I hope to one day receive a different letter...one that can accomplish all of this and more; one that will change my life forever, not just for a moment :)

P.S. - Thank you.

NOW

I need to stop thinking about the past, and pondering about the future.
I need to start living in the moment.
Because what's done is done, and what's to come can only be determined by the decisions I choose to make today.

Purposeless

It's kinda lame that my first "May" blog is over two weeks in...wow! I've been horrible at keeping up with this during spring quarter. My schedule from day to to day is:
1) class
2) lunch
3) work
4) gym and/or running
5) dinner
6) study
7) sleep
8) repeat.
But, I'm making it work and it's a bit of a blessing in disguise.
Danielle and I studied last night til about 9, popped in a movie and fell asleep almost instantaneously. We were watching Pirates of the Caribbean, and the last part I remember is when they take the ship from the Commodore. So, like 30 minutes in maybe? Good times. That is such a great movie though.
I don't have a purpose of writing this blog. I guess I'm writing to say that I'm alive & to say that I haven't given up blogging...I just don't have time :(
Less than a month until summer! I am so excited for lake days, concerts, picnics, late nights, tanning, etc. Woohooo!
