Hey! Hope your week is going alright. I'm headed to Costa Rica on Saturday but if you're up for it, I'd love to get together before I take off.

....and then I waited. On pins and needles. Probably the longest thirty minutes of my life.

Hey. Yeah - definitely, I had fun the other night. I'll call you later. You around?

And that was that. My heart skipped a beat. That's when everything changed.



When I think back just 4 weeks ago, I never would have guessed this is where I would be. I feel grounded. I'm happy. Life makes more sense. It's really something beautiful.

Meant to be.

Words To Live By

There are millions billions of cheesy, inspirational quotes out there to "brighten your day". They come in your Hallmark cards, charity brochures and probably even cereal boxes (the fact that Cheerios will lower your cholesterol is inspiring right?). While comforting a friend today, I threw one out of my own...

(You're laughing...ha, I knew it. Should have kept it to myself....well for those of you who can get over my very own cheesiness, keep on reading for something slightly deeper.)

Why as people, and more specifically girls, is it so hard for us to just let go? Someone complements our hair and we automatically say how gross it looks "but thanks!" (I'm a culprit of this!) How come we can't just be in the moment whether it's going for a run, reading a book, laying in the grass (or in Dallas, the pool) without constantly making judgements and worrying about how we look...

My sister, wow, is honestly one of the coolest people I know. Mom, if you're reading this, I really mean it!! I know it's pretty hard to believe but my sister and I used to fight...bad. We are only 2 years apart so there was a lot of hair pulling, face scratching and chaos in our household. As kids, we both rode horses which caused a lot of competition between us. However, we soon branched out on our own paths and have gotten closer every year. Now, we talk almost every other day and we actually like to hang out with each other, not to mention miss each other.

The basics:
She's 20 years old (but she'll want me to tell you that she'll be 21 on June 29th, let the countdown begin!)
She has light brown hair and brown eyes and she's taller...taller than me.
She's a junior at UMASS Amherst.
She's an Alpha Chi Omega.
She had her appendix out in Ecuador.
She speaks pretty good Spanish.
She used to call me Ya-Ya when she couldn't say my name. Now she calls me San-San. Somethings never change.
She loves animals especially our cats (Mikey-RIP, Maddie-RIP and Millie).
