My love

My baby is home on leave from the Marines. Could he get any more handsome?

 

I just want everyone to know..

Drinking tea is not just a preference, it is a lifestyle choice.

 

Mm delicious food

It turned out that I didn't have to babysit today so I decided to make dinner. I found a recipe for Lemon Chicken & Spinach Risotto (Here is the recipe). Let me tell you, I outdid myself. I happen to really enjoy risotto, this is the second time I've made it. The first time I made pumpkin risotto which was also very good. Pretty proud of myself. 
     Anyway, I had a very nice weekend although it seems like it flew by. Yesterday I attended a Saint Patrick's day Parade and had a few beers with some of my friends from high school. It was so nice outside we didn't even need jackets! Yesterday was a recharging day, the kind that makes you forget all your worries. I leave for South Carolina on Wednesday, so exciting! I am very much looking forward to enjoying the warm weather down there. I'm not going to have to wear boots! Yay! Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

If I've learned one thing

If I've learned one thing about life it is that I don't know anything about life. I'm learning to embrace the fact that I haven't a clue what is going to happen down the road. The unknown can be really scary, I suppose the only thing I can do is chase my dreams. I felt a ting of sadness tonight and I am doing what I need to cope with that; writing. I've tried hard at times to make sense of things that were happening in my life and I haven't gotten far on that track. The farthest I've gotten is trying to just embrace the present moment and attracting positive things into my world. I am blessed.

I love a good challenge.

Say Hello.

So here's my new favorite song, give it a listen:

 

            

        I don't have too much to say today, mostly because it was a day of minimum bothersome thoughts. I watched a very intriguing surgery this morning and then had my favorite yogurt for lunch and some green tea at Starbucks. I also got some studying done. I'm a lucky person, I feel blessed. I am very much looking forward to this weekend, I have some serious chilling planned with my best friend. Tomorrow I start work at 3 so I am going to think of somewhere to go exploring and get some fresh air. I think I'll also finish the dream board I've been working on. Looking forward to another day :)

Mountains & Rice

This is where I went today, it was a beautiful day.

This is such a big part of the meaning of 'home' for me.

 

 

 

          The mountains make me feel like I'm living in a snow globe some days. It was in the low 40's today and the sun was shining, it was so nice to spend some time outside. I watched the geese swimming and they seemed so happy. As I stood there watching, I realized how much I wanted to study environmental law and be a part of protecting the beautiful creatures in this world. I get so much from those mountains and the trees, what would I do if they weren't there? It felt like a really important moment, and I'm so glad it happened. Now off to work to help the domestic fuzzy little creatures out there. Oh, one more thing, I made rice by myself for the first time today. I'm gonna pat myself on the back for not burning it.
