Thank you February...

...for letting me hate you less. 

who would have thought

that I could wear a t-shirt and get some sun. Today. February. 

... and the snow would be melted

... and i could look like a total dweeb while riding my bike. Oh well, I was wearing shorts!!!

but here is my favorite part of the day....

Wolfman.  AKA: mud puppy

And now a tribute:

Reasons I love my sister. No explanations are needed. 

love you Tate!!

Jose's Birthday and Some Goals

So.... today we took our employee, Jose, (who happens to be from Mexico) to a mexican restaurant for his birthday where Pat preceded to order in a mexican accent. We sat at a 6 person table (there were only 4 of us) mom and Pat sat next to each other and i was on the end across from mom... Jose sat at the other end of the table, a chair away from me (guess he didn't really want to be a part of the group). Pat wondered out loud if he should sit across from Jose. Hardly anyone talked as we ate. It was the funniest moment of my life. 

Goals: 

1. Paint something pretty

2. Make a bag (like Becca's)

3. Think of 5 things to do with my life over the next year. And Do 2 of them (at least). 

a. Move to Thailand and teach english

b. ??

c. ??

d. ??

e. ??

4. Play with Baily

5. Pet Bert

I love the rain the most...

...when it stops. 

I've been in a funk lately; in my world its been raining, and I wasn't really sure what to do about it. The boy that I loved told me last weekend that he no longer loved me and since then I have been waiting for him to change his mind so that I could get on with my life. Which, obviously, was the wrong plan of action. But what's the right plan of action? And how can I make my heart be reasonable? The truth is, I don't know if I can. I feel like I've been just keeping myself busy lately trying to distract myself from the chaos in my heart. 

This weekend pulled me out of my stagnant state, it pulled me out of my lovesick-what-am-I-going-to-do-without-a-man?!- funk. Thanks girls, for your support, adventurous spirits and inspiration. I couldn't ask for better friends/sisters. So I might still be a little broken-hearted and it might be hard to listen to Taylor sing White Horse, but I don't think its raining any longer in my world. I can move on with my life. I don't need a boy in my life to make plans and have adventures. And I'm really glad it didn't take months for me to figure this out. 

and did you know...

...Starbucks makes everything better :0)

Oh... and I bought new jeans this weekend!.... and shoes!.... and a skirt! yay!

Love!
