Wish I was Here.

Cape Cod is without a doubt the best place I have ever vacationed. I love everything about it, really, the rustic charm of the old towns, the smell of the salt and sea, the relaxed atmosphere, the laid-back demeanor of the local people and the list goes on. I vacationed in one of the small towns, Brewster, a few summers ago with my family and have been itching to go back ever since. Maybe someday... 

Sunshine and Soul Food.

Okay, seriously this weekend was one of my favorites, as in favorites of the entire year. Just to name a few highlights...Friday it was warm enough for me to lay out in my backyard (bitchin) and I got to spend time watching Glee and chatting about life with one of my new favorite people :) Saturday was even more fun-filled I biked a 5K with a few girls from my house for a sorority philanthropy then that afternoon I had a photo shoot with some cutie pi phi's and when we finally finished shooting around seven, we took my friend's recommendation and tried out a new place for dinner, Papa's Soul Food. And let me tell you they have about the BEST. FOOD. EVER. It was a treat sharing new experiences with new friends. Such a blessing. Here are a few photos from our little afternoon rendezvous.

The Best Thing on Television.

Okay, so I realize that television is not alway the best use and is actually often a waste of my time, but sometimes I do find a show or two that I think are worth investing in and GLEE is one of those shows. It's just so different than anything else on television, I love the character development and the hilarious one liners. It's proof that tasteful humor and wit can appeal to such a broad spectrum of people when done correctly. Hate to say it, but I am a GLEEK. Tune in with me for the premiere of season two tonight at 9:28!

Hawaiian Love.

Just a few pictures from vacation, I had a great time toying with my camera and the girls were such good sports for these shots. Our trip was way too short for my liking, that said, I am pumped for what's in store for me this term and the summer awaiting just around the corner :)

Aloha!

Hooray! I'm in Hawaii and living the dream! It's been such a treat to have a change of scenery and time to relax in the sunshine. I even have a tan...kinda :) Well, lets be real I just have more freckles. Anyways, I am loving the time I have gotten to spend with my family and girlfriends and am happy that we have gotten to make some lasting memories before they graduate and that I have gotten to build into their lives even more. It's amazing how much there is to uncover about people, even the ones you think you know so well. My parents even got Kristi out here at the last minute! YAY for sisterbear! I haven't seen her since christmas so I was all for her coming on a whim. Anyways, I'm not quite ready to return to reality on the mainland (my new favorite word): school, work and endless other activities and commitments. Thankfully I have a few more days to bask in the sunshine. Mahalo!

New Beginnings.

I decided it was time to start blogging because it would challenge me to do something new and interesting. I realized recently how, when I am running around at a million miles an hour, it is so difficult to shut out all of the noise and just simply be, but I need to. I don't want to miss the blessings and the people that come my way because I am too busy to see them. So I suppose that's what this space is. I am not a writer, and definatley not a poet, but I have things to say and a voice to be heard. So I am taking this small and simple challenge to do that which is often so scary for me, trying new things. Jesus is taking me on a wonderful, beautiful, tough, but real, journey and I want, more like NEED to write it all down so I forget all of the lessons that this beautiful God is teaching me.
