Sometimes You Just Need a Little Home

These lyrics couldn't be more spot on. Being sick for a month gets you down. And all I want is my family, my home, and my puppy. Luckily that's only a half hour away for me. These past few days with my mom and sisters have been exactly what I needed. Sometimes you just need a little home. 

So This Is What Adulthood Looks Like

Oh geez. Facebook is getting kind of obnoxious. Every other day, and sometimes every day, another person posts that they are engaged, or married, or pregnant, or things related to these subjects. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against marriage or pregnancy, but when that is what almost EVERY SINGLE POST on my news feed is about, it gets kind of old. Especially when I am nowhere close to relating to any of those things. Don't get me wrong, I really am happy for all of them. I'm not bitter about it or gonna go cry that I'm not married, I'm just in a different stage of life. I'm sure that once I get engaged, married, and pregnant I'll post all about it all the time too. But it's weird being one of the last ones of my friends not married. Now I gotta make all new friends, cause for whatever reason, married people don't hang out with single people that much. Probably cause like I said, we're in a different stage of life. Oh well. 

I did, however, make a grown up move today. I finally signed the lease to my new apartment after trying to get ahold of the landlord for over a week. 16 days till I move with my sissy poo to good ol' Provo. I'm excited :) But nervous to see what random person gets put in the apartment with us. I'm hoping for either a really weird person or a really cool person. Either way it will be entertaining. And school starts in exactly 3 weeks. Super weird cause it feels like I haven't gone to school in forever. But I'm excited for that too. Finally doing something productive other than working. So now I get to pay for school and rent on top of my car and insurance and all that crap. Yay for being a responsible adult :) I'm glad I can take care of myself. Thanks, Mom, for raising me that way :) 

So Much Music, So Little Time

I love music. It has saved me more than once. I was recently going through my iTunes and discovered tons of forgotten music, along with music I have never even listened to. It was like suddenly getting all this new music. I loved it :) Since I can't get my iPod adapter to work in my car, I have to burn CDs in order to play them while I drive. So I made a bunch of playlists and burned a bunch of CDs. Made me very happy :) Here are some songs I'm lovin' on right now. 

Do it Alone by Sugarcult

  

You and I by Ingrid Michaelson

Brothers on a Hotel Bed by Death Cab for Cutie

I Devise my Own Demise by Papa Roach

Riot by Three Days Grace

My sister Leann showed me this song yesterday and I think it's hilarious.

Don't Be a Douchebag by Jump Smokers

Also, totally random but I made this for my momma:

It's at a weird angle cause I was trying to block the sun glare from our huge window. It didn't turn out exactly how I was trying to get it to look but I'm still happy with how it looks.

That's all :)

Moms are Great

This is me and my mom at my high school graduation

 

Isn't she a babe? I think so. I think my mom is great. She is possibly the most amazing woman I know. She is a single mom who, while going to school full time, was working a full time graveyard shift at the hospital, and taking care of 7 children. Now she is graduated and working as an accountant and continues to be a stellar mom in my opinion. 

My mom is always there for me. Anytime I am sad, frustrated, mad, happy, or anything she is there to listen to me and give me the best advice when I need it. Prime example was last night when I really needed some advice and had nobody else to talk to, my mom talked to me for at least an hour and was completely supportive and gave me perfect advice. I don't know what I would do without her. 

My mom is an amazing, gorgeous, talented, sweet, spiritual, loving, fun person and I am very lucky to have her as my mom.
