Day 18: I am a country girl at heart

Words cannot express the joy I felt while petting this beautiful creature. It may have been incredibly illegal, but also one of the best moments of my year to date. Plus how wonderful is it that I took my camera out and just took a bunch of pictures? I have gotten better, I feel better, I feel loved, I see the love in the world, I felt the soft hair of this beautiful animal and I thoroughly enjoy this life. 

Day 17: Oh gift shop, you're so clever

Wish I had dates, I made a pact with myself to date more this year, so far I have failed completely. However it's only 17 days into the year. 

A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera - Say Something

This is the song that keeps me going. Why is it that songs about giving up give me the most hope? I just feel like they are such an excellent way to start over, even if Christina Aguilera tries way way too hard to be seductive so it just turns into a big flop, plus the weird guy who just stands next to the piano. What? Anyway, still a good song.

Day 16: Just bonding over pie

Remember how I've been really great at my New Years resolutions until I made a delicious pie? And then invited everyone I know over to partake? It was a lovely time. There have been many evenings left to lounging around the kitchen conversing with friends and strangers alike. I love this place. 

Day 15: super hipster

Meeting old roommates for dinner has never been as glamorous as it is now. Kimmi is late and I'm sleepy, what a shame I am to my age because it isn't even 5:30 and I'm ready to call it a night. Oh well 

Day 14: it's amazing how this speaks to my heart

We went to do baptisms again today, I love this temple and these women, I'm not ready for Ariel to go back to New York yet. 

Day 13: harps?

I just don't know about this whole harp situation. I'm grateful she shared her talents with the whole hospital. Since when does this happen?
