Little monday letters.


Dear mountains covered by snow surrounding Salinas,
You are so beautiful right now!

Dear self,
I can't believe you only wore a sweater today...

Dear toes,
Thanks so much for not falling off my feet.

Dear phone charger,
You're broken and annoying.

Dear Yurtle,
Please STOP growing??

Dear hair,
Please grow FASTER!

Dear belly button ring,
I like you and will not regret it.

Dear Katrina,
I'm glad I see you everyday at school...I'd be really bored without you.

Dear really good hugs,
Keep em coming.

Dear future husband,
I hope you love coffee like I do.

xo.

Happy Birthday Mommy.

You don't look a day over 22.
I'm glad you are my mom. 
I wouldn't want anyone else...
Thank you for the face, the thick hair, and the skin that tans so easily...I'm still a little bitter about the bad eyesight. 
;) I love you.

An update.

Okay so this month, and a little but of last month I've been terrible at keeping this little blog of mine running.
I am busy, and a little unplugged (which I'm actually thankful for). 
My life is not so exciting at the moment. 
I currently wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 every morning. I go to school. Some days I go to work. I get home. I run. I eat. I do homework. I go to bed. 
My life. It's thrilling.
I try to get a lot of reading in (um, hello Hunger Games!) 
I try to talk to Yurtle. I try to play my piano and guitar. I try to keep my eyes open and watch some TV with my family...but I can't. 
Sometimes, I fall asleep and don't run, don't eat, and don't do homework. I just go to bed.
But that's okay. I'm learning that I need to simplify my life.
Which is a good thing. I don't need TV, or my laptop. I don't need to read every day. I don't need to have a ton of free time...(just enough to keep my introverted part of myself sane.) 
I just need to do what is asked of me, and a little more. 
I might not be doing something super important with my life at the moment, but because I live for the Lord, it's my job to be the best student, sister, friend, daughter, and babysitter I can be. 
And that's all. 
And I'm working on it. 
xo.
