Sunshine and Cowboys :)

Today is a good day. The sun is out and it is just perfect. got my sandies on again, winter jacket is at home in the closet, (where i hope it will stay for a very long time)... I love the sun. and all the beauty it brings. the smell of fresh cut grass, gas at a gas station, chlorine in a pool. the feeling of running your fingers through warm sand on a beach. jumping into a cool pool on a hot summer day. i just love summer. and its almost here!!!! :) im so excited, cuz that also means Quin will be home :) my cowboy ;)
He's the sweetest guy ever and im just so glad i know him, says all the right things, acts goofy at just the right times. yea he has his flaws, but everyone does :) and i can live with em :) i have more than him and he still doesnt believe me, but we'll work on it.
Looking forward to a wonderful summer, full of sunshine, adventures and hot days :D

The little things

so today i am being extremely appreciative of the little things in life


'Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out'


Quote of the day today. so im pretty much the happiest girl ever. and its all my choice. yeah some things get me down, but im here in this life once and only once. im planning to make the most of it. do things right the first time, so i dont waste time.


I am at a point in my life where i am almost 100 percent satisfied with the way things are going. of course, every girl has her doubts about certain things, but its hard because its not supposed to be easy. its hard because its worth it. when you have to put your whole heart into something in order to finish it, its that much more satisfying once its done.


So recently ive become obsessed with DIY and recycling old things. like this bag for example

coolest thing ive seen, ive wanted to make a tie bag for a longtime, but this one is the coolest ive seen so far, i might just try it out :) my creativity and my mother's ginome dewing machine.. the possibilities are almost endless :)

so going back to the little things, im so looking forward to continuing on my quest of noticing the smaller things, and appreciating more the life ive been given. :)

The first day of the rest of my life

good morning. today is a new day, and its gonna be a good one. because i said so.
i am taking life into my own hands today.
because i miss you... <3 :)

Scrub days!!

so today is my scrub day. in other words. the day that i basicaly go to school in my pj's :) i <3 scrub days :) not having to worry about adjusting your outfit, cuz its sweats anyways!! :) AND! if my eyes get itchy i can just rub away!! no makeup is great :) all natural baybeh!!
i love the feeling of being free! no restrictions :) i think everybody needs to have a scrub day every once in a while. just be greasy, who cares if ppl think you look hideous!! isnt that the point?? get away from the world for a day, and just be the way god made you, beautiful no matter what others see. everything about you is you for a reason, embrace it, be yourself, love life, learn, grow, be happy!! and most importnantly, never, EVER! give up :)

Sandies :)

There is nothing more satisfying than being able to put on my summer sandals and wear them without freezing my toes off for the first time

I gots a pair of these gems in brown. and i love them to bits. i continue to look for different pairs, and there is a 19 dollar pair i found at walmart the other day. still wondering whether i should invest or not.  hmmm

theyre kinda like these ones, but in an earthy faded brown color, and they have a tiny heel. opinions?

well anyways, i just love to wear my sandals, wearing shoes and socks isnt my favorite at all. yea ill wear them, but i cant wait to take off my shoes and stretch my toes. im super into nature. i love to feel the wind in my hair, squish the sand and mud between my toes. just sit and enjoy the wonder of it all. there is so much beauty that everyday we take for granted, and i am making a goal today to take more notice of my surroundings.
this morning i woke up to a gorgeous red sunrise to the east. man this world is beautiful :)

Butterflies

"Love is like a butterfly, it goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes.
Love is like a butterfly, hold it too tight, it'll crush. Hold it too loose, it'll fly."
"You can chase a butterfly all over the field and never catch it. But if you sit quietly in the grass it will come and sit on your shoulder."

I love joshua Radin. he is such an inspiring artist, amazingly artistic lyrics. This song has been on repeat for quite some time now, and i figured i would share it :) i think that the lyrics in this song ring true to my life. i want to be able to leave my cares behind me every time i take a step forward. stuff happens, we all make mistakes, but never, ever give up.
Now of course youve noticed the quotes about butterflies and love and such. ive been told so many times to wait and it would find me, and i couldnt help but think it was a whole load of hooey. Until recently. Life has been absolutely amazing. and im not even trying, its all just happening. Ive got butterflies to no end and a smile from cheek to cheek :) something that i would have never even suspected until friday evening. THE DANCE!!!
I got asked to dance by somebody i didnt know, for the first time in over three years. yea, i almost died!! teehee, i love life, yet another lemon to add to my jug 'o' lemonade :D

i said what i meant and i meant what i said

so i did say that if i remembered to post pictures of my new belts i would. whether you care or not anymore, here they are haha

Lemonade

Hello readers. so ive recently rediscovered an obsession of mine. often taken for granted, but never forgotten. Snuggling. there is not much better than a good snuggle after a long hard day. just being close to someone can make problems seem so transparent and nonexistent.

but anyways, now to connect the title. so everybody knows the saying, when life hands you a lemon make lemonade. well ive been given an extremely unexpected lemon. in fact a lemon that at first i didnt want, even though it had been offered. but it looks better and better every time its put in front of me.


Dont they just look delish???

How does that relate to a good snuggle? haha well boys of course. an unexpected surprise. Colbie Caillat's Fallin For You? yeah, perfect, story of my life, right now pretty much. More specificaly the dialogue at the beginning, minus the surfing date hahaha

So yeah, i have been handed a lemon, and am looking forward to a refreshing glass of lemonade. life is great today, lets keep it that way :)
