Puppy Love

Pomeranian Husky...

I need her. Yes, I have decided it's a her because I've also decided she is Bentley's soul mate.

Puppy lovers.

One day, Bentley, one day.

On a serious note though...how INCREDIBLY cute is this dog?!

The Little Things

source

I grew up in a super small town, Overton, NV. There wasn't much to it but "downtown" there was an ice cream shop/deli called Inside Scoop. I have sooo many memories of me and my dad going down there. My dad was in a wheelchair my entire childhood so running errands with just me and him wasn't too easy when I was too small to unload his wheelchair. We would drive up to the front of Inside Scoop and the owners were kind enough to bring our food and ice cream out to the car. Those are the perks of living in a small town :) We would also go there after our day trips to Lake Mead, my cousins would come down from Vegas and it was a fun family function! Anyway, most of us kids would almost ALWAYS order bubble gum ice cream, so good! I'd always spit out all of the bubble gums into a cup then eat them all at once when I was done. Eeew, kids! The only kind of bubble gum ice cream I like to this day is Dreyers! I still go to Inside Scoop when i'm in town but I guess i've graduated to getting Black Cherry Vanilla every time now, the bubble gums are too much of a hassle! I just love memories I have from my dad, no matter how small they are, it's the little things that matter :)

Books!!

I used to be such a reader! I read and read when I was younger. Then for years I just stopped, no reading whatsoever. This last Christmas I got a Nook Color and read all the Hunger Games in a few days then I started slacking again. With work and school I just felt like I didn't have enough time. Well now I have the summer off of school (I wish I was taking classes honestly, I hate not being able to keep busy these days, but oh well) and I decided it's time to jump back into reading. I hate not doing homework or anything, I feel kinda lazy and useless after work. I have a good sized list so here we go!

One day...

I'll find it.

Someone who is absolutely smitten over me. Someone who can't imagine life without me. Someone who is still head over heels in 1, 5, 10, 50 years...Someone who will fight for me. Really fight. For us. Someone who will do everything in his power to protect me, make me happy and to keep us strong and steady and save us the second he sees us drifting. Someone who wants nothing more than to have a family, with me. Someone who is committed, 150%, to me, our family, and our relationship, forever. He wants nothing more than to live happily ever after, no matter how hard, no matter how many bumps in the road we run into, no matter what. Hands down.

And vice versa.

Does it exist? I hope so.

I'm ready.

Just call me 10-fish

Camping was a success!! It was one of the funnest weekends in a while, I definitely needed to get away and i'm SO glad I did! The weather was warm most of the time so we spent our time lounging in the sun, around the fire and fishing in good company!

The BFF

Me and my brother :)

Speaking of fishing, guess how many fish I caught??? 10, yes, 10! That's about 7 more than anyone else just FYI ;) 7 of the fish were just babies and I had to throw them back but I was able to keep 3! So proud!

On Sunday morning we woke up to lots of rain and hail and on the drive home we went through a crazy snow storm! Thank goodness I was following my brother home because I couldn't see very well and was kind of scared! Other than the snow, it rained most of the drive home and when we got back to Vegas it was chilly outside! On memorial day?? Right??

Anyway it was an awesome time and I can't wait to go up to Provo next month and get my fishing on again!

Sissy!

Monday was spent cleaning up the house, working out, laying out, going for a jeep ride through Red Rock, hot tubbing then going to the movies! It was a great day :) Bridesmaids was hilarious by the way! I laughed the entire time and could seriously watch it 500 times in a row! Unfortunately it was back to work and the grind today but that's life!

Life is so strange. One day everything is working out, you're happy as can be and feel like you're on the road to recovery. You get your hopes up that maybe everything will be okay. Wake up the next day and everything is falling apart...timing is off, you feel lost, discouraged and disappointed...in yourself, in your life. I'm not trying to sound like i'm throwing a pity party, I don't feel sorry for myself, I don't need or want people to feel sorry for me...BUT i'm just in awe at how confusing life is. For everyone, not just me. I know it never ends either, and because of that, I can't wait to be in a spot where i'm strong enough to handle these curveballs and this stress a little better than I do now. I'm good at being strong for a week, two weeks, maybe a few months but then out of nowhere i'm back to being weak. Frustrating, no? I know i'll be fine and I know i'll find my true happiness one day, until that day i'll continue to suck it up and do my best, even if my best isn't that great, I can only do so much. Here's to today getting better and tomorrow being great :)

Justification for today...

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.
