reality check

"Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously." 

-Tom Robbins   

kissing stress goodbye

BIG things to come... this is going to be a huge summer! i am SO excited! in short, a few of my best friends are getting married, moving away from utah, and having babies (including my sister who is having a baby girl in july!) there's even more than that happening but i'll explain later:) anyways it seems as if this is the summer everyone is taking the next big step!

the only way i can start this eventful summer, i've realized is to eliminate some mega stress. it's been a crazy couple of weeks, hence my lack of blogging.  

the first big step to do this was quitting my job. so today was my last day working at buckle. it was a really fun couple of years.. i've grown a lot as a person and made some grrrreat friends! however, not working is going to make a huge difference in my life. i can study for finals full time and focus on my grades again:)as well as plan and prepare for the things this summer brings. 

what am i going to do with all my free time aside from studying for finals? well that's simple. i can finally finish my book :) make it to the gym everyday, spend more time with my family and travel.

I feel so free.
