Rock out to each moment


There are times in our lives when everything feels like its going wrong, everything is getting on your nerves, nothing is going right, nothing is working out, you’re stuck in a rut, you are way past due for some good luck in your favor that you need to throw your hands in the air, laugh, and pick a theme song to change things around.

Now picking a theme song may be a very tricky part to this scenario. The first step is you need to have a complete breakdown, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Second you need to decided one of two things….A) “THAT’S IT, things need to change!” or B) “I must wallow, wallow, wallow!” If it is B you have probably not completed the whole….mental, physical, emotional breakdown part…..just let it happen. If it is A…ding ding ding, WINNER! You may begin the search for a perfect song. Generally a theme song is the opposite of where you are at, feeling, or heck just a song you love.
My pick…..for Fall 2012…..is ………… On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons!!

“I’ve had the highest mountains
I’ve had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but not til you prove it
Now take it in but don’t look down
‘Cause I’m on top of the world”

The moment comes at random and inconvenient times but sometimes change is what we need to become better. And your “better” might be a babystep but babysteps lead to walking and then running and then a full on sprint. Make a babystep change in your life, pick a theme song, and rock the life you’ve got because we’ve been blessed with the lives we’ve been given.

“No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible.”

I may or may not die today


Schools started. Yay???
So I have a pretty good load this semester. I started my major classes and things are already starting to get in motion. HOWEVER….of all my classes I am FREAKING out about my volleyball class. Yes, the stupid half of a credit class has been giving me butterflies and nightmares for weeks. The reason this “fun” class has been torturing my  very soul is because of one word….intermediate. Yes, yes I know, it is a VERY frightening word.At this very moment I am sitting outside of the classroom where this very class will be held. My anxiety is beyond fixable, even carrot sticks didn’t help.

Now usually sports are my forte. But lately my whole athleticism has taken a real blow….lets just say it involves a kickball and my face. Since that all too tragic event I have really begun to question my athletic abilities. Maybe I should have taken the beginner volleyball class just one more time….of course that would make it a total of three times but hey….that’s normal right…..?? I know, its not.
I just hate feeling like the weak link and I will openly admit that my volleyball skills are lacking in a serious way.  I am fairly new to sport…not the watching part but the playing. But I guess its time for me to be a big girl and official immerse myself in the deep, deep, very deep, scary deep, get no sleep deep dark waters of Intermediate…..Wish me luck. I go in with no expectation but to die. If you never see a post on this blog again I have died. If that is the case, my brother gets my car, my sisters gets my closet, and I want to be buried in my backyard under the tramp with my shoes.

30 Days of heaven or....not heaven....

It is time for a makeover. I just got ma hair did and it inspired me to do a totally body/self makeover. While this past month has been laced with boredom, exhaustion, gut bustin' laughter, work, and yes even DRAMA, its been a fun summer journey! While I did expand from my hermit tendencies for a short while, I am happily situating back into my cave of movies, food network, and nerd ropes. (those things are so dang addicting!)

ANNNNYYYWAAYYSS....
I am looking forward to my Junior Year of College....gosh dang i'm old. I will be starting the Special Education program and am overly excited. I am also rooming with someone new, *holla to my girl, Rylie* (whoop whoop). AND  also not doing track this next year, HUGE adjustment. I am letting injuries heal and focusing on school. So a year of all things new is in store for me! So I thought i'd kick start my year with a little challenge I like to call, "30 Day Challenge!" I named it because it will go for 30 days and it will be challenging. (This last sentence brought to you by the NO-DUH foundation). If anyone wants to join me on this fine endeavor you are MORE than welcome! You can also join me in my endeavor of punch dancing your rage out....Hot Rod is oh so wise...or Footloose....its a toss up.
But that is beside the point.
I think I have ADD.....
but that is also beside the point.

ps. I leave Thursday to live in Seattle until August 25th. If I don't see you before then, AU REVOIR!
