Reminiscing...

I was listening to a new song this morning, "My Love" by Goapele feat. Eric Benet, while I was driving to work. This song makes me want to get up and dance. It makes me feel sunny and happy. It's a brand new song that I just listened to for the first time on Monday but it somehow reminds of my Grandma's house. It reminds me of those sunny, summer days where I would sit in the window and watch the world outside.

My Nephew

I love this little guy so much. I never thought the love would be this strong. I'd do anything for him. I thought since he was just a nephew and not my child I wouldn't feel as strongly as I do for him. He's a cutie patootie!

This is one of my Favorite Quotes/Poems

I first read this when I was in a restaurant when I was a kid and I loved it. I thought it was a good quote and it matched what I knew about God. As I read it again today I remember the hard times I'm having and realizing that God is here and helping me and I can't give up on my faith. It's just hard now but I know it's always darkest before the dawn. And God will be there every step of the way.

Winter is Officially Here

It is officially wintertime in Utah. It snowed yesterday and it was so cold. I'm not a big fan of winter so right now I want to go into hibernation and not come back out until it's hot again. I want to hole up in my house until the sun shines bright and hot. Oh well, I drink hot chocolate now :P

Box Braids: Long Bob Style

This is how I think I want to get my hair done next. I don't like long braids very much. Short hair will frame my face better anyway and they may last longer. And will be cheaper. These styles are so cute!

Ugh, School, Work, Life!

So school has become increasingly harder to deal with lately. I had to drop a class which now means I won't be finished in Spring 2015 like I planned. I am seriously considering just dropping out. I don't want to deal with homework, teachers, and the horrible ordeal of trying to find a parking spot for two more semesters. There is so much to do and I'm struggling with my classes this semester. My motivation and drive have slipped down. I'm trying to find it but it's not working. I think I just need a vacation to see my family and close, close friends. I think I'm just too far away and staying here another year means another year away from them. I still love ASL (American Sign Language) but the other classes feel like "what's the point." I also don't like what I do for work and feel like I'm not moving forward.*Sigh* I'll figure it out. Okay, rant over.
