On the Street Where You Live

HI!!! How have you been? Was your week amazing and wonderful, or was it kind of like mine, where it felt super busy and stressful and then I got to the end and realized that nothing actually happened. ;)

this week, I cleaned a house for my dad, getting it ready for the showing. I spent Tuesday with my fabulous sister-in-law. (aka my favorite sister-in-law!), and we totally spent 15+ minuets fitting a coffee table from ikea into her car. but we got it in and were oh so proud of us. i don't have a clue what i did the rest of the week. Friday i spent the afternoon helping friends get ready for the valentines banquet that our church was hosting, and Saturday night I deserted them all for a swing dance at Fort Vancouver instead with my big bro. It was totally amazing!! I didn't trip or fall once last night!!! You should be excited for me, it was kind of a big deal!! We had a blast, and the 30+ piece live swing band from Beacock's Music was fabulous as well. 

     It was incredibly sweet of my brother to come down to take me as well. Thanks, bro!!

   both the above photos were taken  by my lovely friend Tiffany, (Who looked amazing last night as well, btw! :)

 This afternoon, I am going to clean my room, post this, (obviously,) drink tea and listen to pretty music, journal,  refocus and make some to-do lists for the week and plan and mentally prepare myself. It should be fairly uneventful, but good nevertheless.

What does your week look like? And do you have any fabulous book suggestions? I am in need of some new reading material.

I heard this song this afternoon and thought it was so cute. Do yourself a favor and listen to an adorable love song, even if it is the day after valentines day. ;)

this is a new year

  With the pages fresh this is a new year, with all new challenges, fun and lessons.

This is 2012.

 

     2011 was a hard year for me, and, honestly, I’m pretty glad it’s over. There were changes that I’m still trying to get used to, and I probably won’t ever get used to, problems that I just can’t solve.  

Having both my older brothers move out within 4 months of each other is hard. Their my best friends in the world, and it’s difficult to see them branch out, and move on with their lives, and leave me behind, to struggle on by myself.

 



 

But 2011 was also fun. We went places this year, with friends, camping, skydiving, (only getting to watch, unfortunately for this thrill loving gal,) skiing, canoeing, rock climbing… and my parents even let me fly down to visit my Aunt and Uncle in CA by MYSELF for a week.(which I’m sure you all have heard about like many times!! J)

 

I refuse to make “new year’s resolutions,” because I always fail them, but I do have some goals for myself.

 

Some of them include:

Improve my photography

Learn some basic car mechanics,

Get ‘in shape”

Collect lots more old books

Get way better on the piano and flute…

So, I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR, and I hope your year is happy, and simply epic!!!

With much love,
