Life lessons I wish I learned sooner.
“People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime… When you know which one that is, you will know what to do” —Unknown
Life is hard. It’s crazy beautiful, all at once. We just need to trust in God’s plan & not be so set in the plans we make for ourselves. While we all go through life’s struggles, it’s important to...

Needle & Thread
Robert: Sweetheart. I'm really going to need for you to learn how to use your sewing machine. I don't like this thread and needle thing.

Robert: I am!
Me: I made my own skinny jeans once and sewed it by hand!
Robert: I have a new found respect for you baby

Robert: Woah! Why are your nails so blue?
Me: I painted them! I've been looking everywhere for this color! I love it!
Robert: They look like the color of the ooze from the Power Rangers movie
Me: The ooze from Power Rangers is green, color blind! =P
Robert: *laughs* Well, if it was blue it would be that color!
Me: You don't like it?! *sad face*
Robert: No, I love it honey! It looks so good on you. It's so beautiful. You're so beautiful.
Me: *smiles* Good!

I had a random thought while at work today.....
You could never pay me enough money to have a job that requires me to sit at a desk and stare at a computer all day for the rest of my life. My mental health & emotional well being are more important to me than how much I have in my bank account.
My dreams are too big & my will is too strong to ever settle on a job that inhibits my happiness… It’s amazing to think of how...
To the guy that plays the piano at UC Irvine late at night as I walk to the bus stop….. Thank you. You play beautifully. Music feeds my soul.

"This too shall pass"--1 Corinthians 10:12
Note to self: This won’t last forever. Breathe in. Breathe out. Just a little bit longer and soon you’ll find yourself at church staring at that handsome man at the end of the aisle waiting to marry you & make you his wife. All the waiting & anticipation that had built up until that moment will all be worth while once you kiss your love & can finally call him your husband. Hang in...
