Spring Break Revelations

Spring Break is F-L-Y-I-N-G by. 

For real.

I wish I had some awesome pictures to accompany this post about Spring Break...

But I have been too busy!

Sorry for Partying*

*And by partying I mean walking my dog and working on school stuff..

Anyways, here are some thoughts I have had this Spring Break:

1. There are not enough hours in the day for the amount of people I love in Minnesota. I am seriously so blessed. I have such amazing friends and family in this state. I can't seem to stop overbooking myself and using every free minute possible to see them. I need to soak up all of their awesomeness before I head back to Kansas. 

2. I heart dogs SO much... However, I am not ready to have a dog. Dogs are amazing and all, but let's be honest I am still stuck in my selfish 20's and so not ready to care for someone else. I think I'm still learning to care for myself. 

3. Yoga is essential to my peace of mind--how could I have forgotten how yoga calms me?

4. I've changed a lot this year, and that's okay :)

5. I am going to savor every last minute of spring break and appreciate all the wonderful people I miss when in Kansas. You all are awesome :)

 

Oh My Stars

This song is absolutely beautiful. 

Thank you Yoga Man for introducing me, and for providing me with a very zen outlook on life tonight. Namaste.

Oh Hello, Let's Catch Up

I feel like my life has gone from 0 to 60 in 2.5

I went from complaining about how I am not busy enough to being SUPER busy. I have been meaning to blog for a couple of days to catch up on some  important things....

1. This blog is officially 1 year old...as of 3/14/12! How exciting! I do wish my blog had more of a focus...but for now my random thoughts and likes will have to do.

2. Because this blog is 1 year old, Abby passed away 6 years ago on 3/14/06. I started the blog really because I was working in the lonely world of substitute teaching and wanted to talk to someone about  how weird it is that 5 years had gone by after her passing. I still often think about Abby, but I'm no longer angry. I mostly find myself thinking wonderful memories about her, as she was a wonderful person.

3.  5 years ago on 3/14/07 I met Spence. What is with this date!??
I did not want to go out that night, I wanted to sit around in sweatpants and be sad about Abby's passing. Luckily, I succumbed to my roommates peer pressure and decided to go out. Everything changed after that night. I started having FUN again.

4. Spence and I took a weekend trip to Austin, TX. It was so FUN. I think we do a great job of showing each other how much we appreciate one another. BUT, most nights I see him I'm coming home after a day of work and class (ending at 7:00), and he has worked all day. I get the biggest smile on my face when I see him after class, but we are both tired. It was so fun to have a weekend together when we were not tired from work and didn't even THINK about work or school. We just spent the time enjoying each others company and laughing...laughing a lot :)

More updates to come...stay tuned :)

We Are Young

LOVE this song! And, she is from KC!
