The job hunt is still on... now in the mix are Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Island's, and Mcdonald's. Please please pleaseeee.
Exciting news - I learned a very valuable lesson today! They way to anyone's heart truly is to find something that they love to do so much that they usually do it alone, and DO IT WITH THEM. Ever since dad's heart attack last year, he has been so good at staying healthy and he usually walks for 45 minutes every day. When I got home, I just started going to the gym because that's where I'm comfortable exercising but today I switched things up and went with him! He usually goes around 6 or 7 in the evening and as he is walking out the door, he'll ask if anyone wants to go with him and no one will reply at all so he leaves without a word. Can you say 'stab me in the heart'? Yeah, so I went with him, and despite the horrific shin splints and having to jog to keep up at some points, I could tell it made him so happy. I loved being able to spend those 45 minutes with him and hearing his past walking stories or just catching up. So, I'm going to try to focus on that this year; spending time with the people I love doing things that they love. Sound good? Good.
I spent like 3 hours last night looking up new songs and downloading them. I just can't get enough of music and I found some great new songs.
What Do You Want by Jerrod Niemann - I heard it at the right time in my life, I guess! Very easy to relate to.
Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson - A little conceited but who doesn't like that every once in a while?
If I Die Young by The Band Perry - I've heard it before, but if you listen to the words closely, it makes so much sense. Brilliance.
Moment 4 Life feat. Drake by Nicki Minaj - Love this woman and she has done it again. Makes me nod my head like a mother in church.
Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not by Thomson Square - So cute, great little love story.
Raymond by Brett Eldredge - Ready to cry? Good. This song means a lot to me mostly because I have spent a lot of time in nursing homes visiting my great-grandparents, at least once a month for my entire life. I have some great and some horrible vivid memories and this song reminds me of the great ones.
Who Are You When I'm Not Lookin by Blake Shelton - Adorable. We all think about it...
Moving from music to pictures...
This was taken in April 2008 at our favorite restaurant in Disneyland!! We went with the Stapleys for a few days and this was the last day. It was one of those vacations where you ate like crap and didn't stop walking the entire time and got 5 hours of sleep each night and didn't care what you looked like because you wouldn't see a mirror until you went to bed at night. And this picture is the result of three straight days of that. Isaac and Sam fell asleep at the table that evening and my make-up had been washed off in a ride a few hours earlier. Uncle Garth and my mom went back to the hotel early on this night because they were tired and I vividly remember leaving the park, walking down Main Street at 1 in the morning eating huge rice krispie treats with red and blue sprinkles and drinking hot chocolate and limping because of the blisters on my feet. My dad, Tori, Shea, Brenly, and I were the only ones to last until closing time and we were so exhausted and delusional, singing made-up songs about how ridiculously expensive the park was and throwing up. Literally. I can't wait to have these vacations with my future family.
