Food For Thought

Sometimes All the time, I love pick me ups. That's why reading this over and over each year never gets old.

March 1st (JB's Birthday, I knew their would be a good thought)

"I'm asking that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more full the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we 'accentuate the positive.' I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort." -Gordon B. Hinckley

March is going to be a great month. I feel it.

It's Love

I know, I know. I'm a bad blogger. I used to be good. Not so much anymore. It's a laziness thing. Any who I moved out, and I'm in love with my roommate Danielle. Not a creepy lesbian love, but ya know I just genuinely lucked out living with randoms (I was about to have a panic attack before I moved out cause I was so nervous I would have weird smelly roommates). She's from Brazil and is exactly like Gloria on modern family. My life is complete.

This is us on her Birthday. And now we're off to Tucanos.

New Year

2011 (In no particular order):

It was probably my favorite year to date. I mean I spent a good 6 months of the year traveling whether it was to Vegas, Australia, or London I seemed to always be somewhere doing something. It was a year I realized that family, and friends are the stuff of life. It didn't really matter so much what I was doing, but rather who I was with and what experiences we were having together. It was the year I realized I LOVE people, and even though I find myself sometimes saying I hate people, it's really not true. I'm a people person, and my life would be an awfully lonely place without people in it. So here's to 2011 and all the people from that year.


2012
The year the Mayan calendar ends...and the world, or something like that. I'm not one for New Years resolutions, because you can make goals anytime of the year, but since it's a good excuse to party with friends and family and eat loads of food, I enjoy the holiday. So happy New Years everyone. Unlike the Mayans, I have a good feeling about this year.

And even though I don't like New Year's resolutions (because lets be honest they only last the month of January) I thought this message was perfect.

School

I contemplate dropping out on a daily basis, and then I remind myself I only have a year and a half left. It's a love hate relationship.

Because I physically can't study, this is what I do in the library.

I'm just keeping my head above water at this point.
