It's around that time of year again! I'm so excited! Here are few of my favorite things that will make great gifts. I am such a gift person. It is probably because I love to shop and it doesn't really matter who it is for. It is also because it is how I show my appreciation to other people. My parents are both giving people and that may be where I got it from. Who knows...
This song reminds me of a roadtrip. It is just so sweet! The reverb on this song is grat and fits the mood perfectly. My friend told me to listen to it and it has been on repeat ever since. Enjoy!
I just recently got an iPhone 4s (finally), but now all I need is a case. Last phone I had was basically a brick and indestructable. I dropped it all the time and was very careless with it-only becuse I knew it would never break. I need case for this one, but not an otterbox, something actually cute. I think the first two are my favs...HELP!
How are these kids cooler than I am? They have so much style.
These girls are so young and talented! They have such great tone and texture to their voice. I just love it! Harmonies are difficult enough, but the tiny one kills it in each song- its ...just wow.
So I had a little bit of a break down this past Thursday. I suddenly felt swamped and overwhelmed with everything and I just cracked. I coulnd't put words to exactly what I was going through- it wasn't just one thing. Between shcool, work, ministering, and a social life a felt spent. Andrew took me for a drive and calmed me down and made me realize that I was forgetting my "me- time." When I first moved up to Colorado and my dating life was basically non-existent, I always went on hikes, did random things, rented movies, and basically just hung out with myself. I am naturally an introvert and I don't say that I "hung out with myself as a negative thing. I just generally liked myself and enjoyed being alone. Now that things have become busier and all I want to do is to be next to Andrew, I have forgotten that I still need my alone time. So I planned to do that the next day, Unfortunately, I got sick and was basically forced to relax- but whatever. I will take it however it comes. So, don't forget about yourself, please, and you can avoid a melt down like I did.
This weekend, we went out for sushi and went karaoke-ing, and even had mini day-cation where we made our way up to the Springs. We also went to Target for whatever reason and found a $17 deep fryer on sale. After walking around with it we decided to get it. We spent the next evening frying everything we could think of- cheeze sticks, pickles, zucchini, chicken, and even french fries. Later on we sort of regretted it and felt super unhealthy afterwards, but it was still pretty awesome. I am going to have so much fun with this fryer. The other day I made a joke to Andrew about how awesome our life is, and after we chuckled a bit out of amusement, we realized, yeah, our life is pretty freakin' great. It is not because we live this lavish, glamourous lifestyle. I think it is because we just utilize our moments actually living, and that is the best way to enjoy things.
This song seems to be on constant repeat in my playlists. It is so simple and sweet, plus, it features one of my favorite singers- Sara Bareilles.
