waiting for forever

"If I had one wish it would be that your life brings you a taste of happiness that you brought me. That you can feel what it's like to love."

love

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13

settle grace..

So since moving to Utah and starting nursing school my life consists of school, school,school. So you would think at the end of the day I would want to come home to silence. Nope not me if you know me well, you know that I hate silence. I always have the T.V on for the background noise. So since being here I have gone through many of my T.V series.... Right now I am on Grey's Anatomy first season! I seriously forgot how great this show is or should I say was...This season of Grey's is a little weird for me, I mean come on a musical episode. Not cool!

“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.”

"The ASU Chapter"

I can't believe it is here, I am graduating from college.Finally! Its a weird feeling because graduating from college is something I have thought about since I was just a little girl, but I never really thought I would get here. But here I am, all grown up and ready to start a new chapter of my life. So here's to this chapter of my life("The ASU Chapter") and to the start of a whole new chapter! Let the adventures begin...

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. ~e.e. cummings

daily reminder..

It may sound super cheesy & I wouldn't be the first to admit it
But I have insecurities, but I think it is super
important to remind yourself daily
to be secure with who you are now,
at this very moment.

i'll take a dare...

"I will dare to just do what I do. Be just what I am. And dance whenever I want to." Beverly Williams
This quote captures exactly where I am at in life

I have dared to do what I want to do and have embraced exactly who I feel like I am suppose to

all good things are wild and free

I never actually thought I would do it,its never really crossed my mind. But I have broken free of Facebook. I'm not gonna say that this is a forever thing, that I won't someday return. But for now, it is something that I need to do for my own sanity,and my over all happiness.

and counting...

40 days until Christmas Day...OMG

Sometimes I forget…

Sometimes I forget that I'm allowed to dream big no matter how old I get..

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers.
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening.
Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them;
nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine
and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true "
Woodrow Wilson

“happiness is only a mood, not a destination”

Happiness.Last night as I was watching my all time fave show One Tree Hill, the topic of Happiness was brought up. Happiness is something that I have been thinking a lot about,asking the questions... What makes me happy now and what is going to make me happy in the future? This quote really slapped me back to reality.

“so, i’ve been thinking about this whole being happy thing, and i feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. we’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy - we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that’ll fix everything - but happiness is a mood, and it’s a condition…not a destination. it’s like being tired or hungry. it’s not permanent. it comes and goes, and that’s okay. and i feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness more often.”

Wake up call,right!!I am one of those people that for the most part looked at happiness as a destination."I'll finally feel happy when I am finished with nursing school or that one person can make me feel happy all the time." But all those thoughts are lies.Maybe if I can start to understand that happiness is not permanent,and it doesn't depend solely on a job or a person then maybe happiness will finally be a stable part of my life.

happy.fall.

stop.running.

"All this time
We were waiting for each other
All this time
I was waiting for you
We got all these words
Can't waste them on another
So I'm straight in a straight line
Running back to you"

happy weekend

the little things..

"I love that babe.
You are always making smile.
I hope you have a great day."- Sam
