Food for thought, from where I keep my food

This wonderful tid-bit comes from my favorite magnet on my fridge. It is my motto for how I live my life.

"DANCE as though no one is watching you. LOVE as though you have never been hurt before. SING as though no one can hear you. LIVE as though heaven is on earth."- Souza

Random Dad & Daughter Roadtrip

My Dad and I took a little random roadtrip today to Grass Valley and Nevada City. We had a lot of fun, but stupid me forgot to take pictures of EVERYTHING. All I did take pics of was when we went into the sporting goods store and tried on all the miliary hats. But that in itself pretty much sums up the day. When my Dad and I vacation, we run around being silly and laughing histarically in between the moments where we learn about history (we do love our history). Today I learned that Nevada City has the oldest, original theatre in the state and that Lola Montez (a Dutchess from Buvaria) lived in Grass Valley during the gold rush and caused all kinds of trouble when she moved in to town with her two monkey's and pet bear. I loved her story, she was something else, let's put it that way. Anyway, I hope my Dad enjoy's his retirement and that there will be more random roadtrips to come.

Carpe Diem!

Summer Ups and Downs

The summer is finally winding down, I have 4 days of work left and I am moving back to school in 2 weeks. So of course I am starting to get nostalgic again. Last year at this time I was getting ready to move out for the first time and start a whole new life experience at college. Now I have done the whole freshman year of college thing and am getting ready to do it again for sophomore year. This summer was amazing, I went to exciting places, worked, and learned a whole lot about myself and people in general. I also have noticed that life is going by faster thanever. Which is why I plan on savoring every moment of this year. I am so excited to move into the new place with my roomies who I haven't seen very much of this summer. In a few weeks I won't have to feel like I am just waiting around for life to happen, it will be happening and I will be loving every minute of it.
