Dreaming of Sand and Sunshine

I saw this amazing print on Folksy and now I'm itching to escape the rain and run off to sea...



Screaming for ice cream,

Matchbook Magazine... Just Something Lovely :)

My fabulous Kettie Friend introduced me to Matchbook Magazine a couple months ago and I've never seen a magazine so full of pretty things :) This photo is just one post from the "Daily Spark" section of their blog.

Springtime and Zombies and Commencement – Oh My!!

What a crazy semester this has been. It’s the last of my college career, and probably the best so far. It has been a rough ride in places, but I've made the best friends I have ever had and found myself being stretched and growing in so many ways.

Graduation is going to be bitter sweet. In some ways I cannot wait to get off campus and away from school. The distance will be much needed. But, of course there are going to be things I’ll miss. My housemates, classes, theater… I’m going through theater withdraw already actually.

It has been wonderful to get involved in theater again. First with the Cherry Orchard and then the student directed one-acts. Special thanks to Sofia for allowing me to be part of her pantomimes and to Kevin for writing the best Zombie script this side of Greenfield! As a shy freshman I would have never guessed I’d be painting my face like a mime and running through the cafeteria as part of a Zombie flash mob. It’s been fantastic!

And then there are my housemates. Ten wonderful girls that have made this year incredible. How could I have made it without all of you? J

So many great memories, but the future is looking promising too. I have a little apartment with a few pieces of furniture and I’m looking forward to the time when it will feel like home. A job is in the works and pretty soon I’ll be the owner of my very own vehicle.

Bitter-sweet… so many things to be sorry to leave, and so much to be excited about in the future.

So much thinking,

Its a Brand New Day

Some kind of magic 
Happens late at night 

When the moon smiles down on me 

And bathes me in it's light 

I fell asleep beneath you 

In the tall blades of grass 

When I woke the world was new 

I never had to ask 

It's a brand new day 

The sun is shinning 

It's a brand new day 

For the first time 

In such a long long time 

I know 

I'll be ok 

Most kind of stories 

Save the best part for last 

Most stories have a hero who finds 

You make your past your passed 

Ya you make your past your passed 

It's a brand new day 

The sun is shinning 

It's a brand new day 

For the first time 

In such a long long time 

I know 

I'll be ok 

This cycle never ends 

You gotta fall in order to mend 

And it's a brand new day 

It's a brand new day 

For the first time 

In such a long long time 

I know 

I'll be ok

Smiling always,
