Dream on

Found this quote the other day and it really resonated with me :

"Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it.  The time will pass anyway."

I needed to see this right now.  I needed to be reminded that the things I want for myself are still valid and it won't matter if it takes 2 years of 20 years.  I can either spend that time working toward something that will be good for me and that I want to do/be, or I can spend that time wishing these goals would take less time :-)

I have started on one of my goals as of a few weeks ago:  to lose the rest of the baby weight.  Now that my hormones have righted themselves (it only took about 2 years) and I am feeling like myself again, it's time to kick my butt into gear.  Which is why a few weeks ago I joined a gym!  I have been going at least 3 times a week (for me that's a miracle) and I am really loving it.  It also doesn't hurt that one of my best friends is going with me :-)

Point is, I'm happy.  And it feels good.

Please respond

I'm typically decisive when it comes to my appearance, but I have a dilemma and I need other opinions.  Here's my question:

Should I get bangs again or continue growing them out???

These bangs would be of the side-swept variety, not blunt.

Wuv.

Love.  No matter how long it's been since you've experienced the thing you love, when you experience it again you realize you never stopped loving it. People, music, art, food.  It applies to everything.  Some of the very best people I have ever known I am not able to talk with very frequently but as soon as I do, the love is still there.  Food.  I don't eat certain foods but once a year and every year I love the food just as much (pumpkin chiffon pie, I'm looking at you).  

Music.  I love music.  I have for as long as I can remember.  Certain bands I have not listened to for years.  But the other day I went through iTunes on my old laptop and found a whole mess of music that I now cannot turn off.  The Thrills, Imogen Heap, Mute Math, Mae, etc.  Love.  True Love.  It brought me back together with some wonderful tunes.  Bless you, Love.

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I have a gun

Now get in the van!

It's about time...

It's about time that I wrote a post about the last few weeks.  Pictures can come later.  For now I just need to get out there that we have successfully moved back to Provo after a wonderful 1.5 years house sitting in Salem, UT.  I can't believe it went by so quickly.  

Here's a break-down of how our moving week went.  Load trailer Mon-Wed.  Stay with Phil and Taylor Wed-Friday.  Unload trailer Friday evening.  Fly to Connecticut for Christmas on Saturday.  Basically insane.  Thank heaven for our INCREDIBLE friends and family.  We would have been lost without you.  

Once our new place is unpacked completely I'll take pictures.  Hopefully I'll have better luck decorating this apartment.  I guess it will help that I finally broke down and signed up for a Pintrest account.  I try not to get sucked in but it's strangely addictive.  Between that and Houzz I should have plenty of decorating ideas to choose from.  If only I could narrow down what my style actually is.....
