be here now

So yesterday, I decided to get some ambition in my life. No more doin the same ol, mundane, day to day stuff. I'm ready to start livin the life! I want to see the world, and live as if it really matters to me- live as if I'm going to die tomorrow. I mean, we all hear that life is short crap.. but it really is true. What exactly am I doing? I know I'm in the middle of an internship.. but I want more! I want every day to be a fresh and exciting day with God.. learning new things about him (which I am..) and new things about this life that I'm apart of. It just seems a waste to do the same things all the time.. which, don't get me wrong, aren't bad or anything. But, I'm ready for change! I'm a little late for resolutions, but oh well. That's just my style (: 

SO

1. I resolve to live each day to it's fullest potential! 

What can I get out of today? What can I do to glorify God? What movie can I watch? (;

2. I resolve to create something EVERYDAY!

I like creativity. I like thinking out of the box. I want to get so good at bein creative, that I'll get paid for it!

3. I resolve to spend time with God everyday!

This shoulda been higher up.. but whatevs. I really do needa start giving God more time out of my day :/ I mean, He is God and all. 

and thats all I got so far. I'm sure I'll think of more. 

In other news,

-ray lamontagne has once again swept me off my feet,

-my room WILL be primed by tonight

-i like distractions and stapling papers an awful lot..

i'd say more and more each day!

-Ever heard of mixing hot chocolate and instant coffee together? It's my specialty, and it's straight up delicious.

-I still am in love with target

-My brother gets more adorable every day. I don't know where he gets it from.....

 -jen's dad is up there with my favorite people right now.

-and i took that picture^ ..not really my style, but it seems real fitting with this song.. and I'm loving it.

I feel really selfish all of a sudden. Or like I've been oblivious to life around me way too long- and I'm just now really realizing how good I got it and how much I don't deserve any of it.

new lense, new memories

back from Georgia! 

the winter song

today was rich.

I have one amazing family- we're all so different and we never really see each other- but it doesn't matter. Because when we all get together, it's just.. love. We love each other! I wouldn't trade my melting pot of a family for the world. 

also, this has nothing to do with today..

but i want to experience winter like this:

you get the idea.

11 bucks my butt

mmm monday december 15, 2008, 1:30 AM

i just finished my first mustache. only 50 more to go! haha.

aint too shabby. I'm surprised I actually started on em tonight.. I was wonderin if I ever was gonna get around to it. I blame my dad.. he got me all in the christmas-y mood. I came through and he was prancin' around the house with wrapping paper and his box cutter labeling presents with his recently bought label maker and humming christmas tunes and calling my mom the grinch. Every time she walked by he serenaded her with "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.." She doesn't like Christmas too much. I think it might be because she's British. Who knowwws.

I live an interesting life. Gosh I love my family.

photobucket treasures

Today I stumbled across my old photobucket.. so naturally I went and looked through all the ancient ridiculous pictures of everyone. You know how people say in the present that one day you will look back on yourself and wonder what the heck you were thinking? I just had one of those moments. Not saying they weren't some good times.. but LORD! what were we thinking?!

        ^this was taken after staying up all night in front of best buy on a black friday. 

yes, we wore paint on our faces.

                                                                           ^ I think that one has to be my favorite.

With hopes of many more "What the heck was I thinking?!" moments to come,
