life lately

been to and from Charleston SC, saw south of the boarder (and drove right past), had some birthday bloody mary's, done some stand up paddle boarding, SOJA came to town, tested out new recipes, and drank/gulped a "flabongo" on the beach.....oh and by the way, I got an iPhone finally!

testing your will

a very special day, a very hard day

Happy Birthday Greg.
A very special day, but a very hard day. A day that I miss you even more, and a day it kills me even more that you aren't here.
today...

Wish you were here to celebrate.

"How do you do that, make me feel like I'm the only girl alive for you. I don't know what it is that makes me fall like this. First time in your arms I knew"

 Love you

Happy Fourth

25 things

25 things I've learned in my 20s: a site I came across through a freind who had posted it. Check it out. A few of my favorites:

- You’ll question every decision you make and never feel completely certain that you made the right choice. It’s pointless to wonder though. You’re here now so you might as well make it be the right decision

- You’ll know how to make twenty dollars last an entire week because you spent almost all of your paycheck on groceries at Whole Foods and drunk cab rides. This lesson in frugality will serve you well.

- You’re going to betray your convictions. You’re going to feel shame. You’re going to continue to put yourself in situations that aren’t good for you. And then, slowly but surely, it will become less frequent. It might not ever go away completely but it won’t be as bad. In the meantime, stop shame spiraling about it. It gets you nowhere.

-You’ll always care about your first love. That doesn’t make you crazy, it just makes you human. When relationships end, it’s not so cut and dry. You carry everyone you’ve ever loved into every relationship thereafter.

- You’ll have moments with someone that are so intense, it’ll feel like you’ve been electrocuted back to life. You’ll hold on to these moments for a long time. They’ll give you hope when you’re going through the motions.
