Work (6/4)

I have a really hard time sitting still. I'm not a fan of the days where I have nothing on the calendar. I feel blessed when I have a job, something to keep me busy, help me support myself, and make me feel productive. I feel best when I can see that my work is benefitting someone else and I'm grateful for so many opportunities to do so.

Thanks to my parents for teaching me to be a hard worker.

Moments You Realize Are Once In A Lifetime As They Are Happening (6/3)

It's one thing to have an incredible once in a lifetime moment, but it's quite another to realize it as it is happening so that you can truly soak in every second.

Thanks for all these amazing moments.

The Zoo

Yesterday I got a chance to spend the day with my entire family at the zoo. As animal lovers the zoo is a place we love dearly. I admire the way the zoo teaches not only about the endless animal species from all over the world, but also teaches conservation, enforces proper animal care, and brings smiles to millions of faces.

Thanks zoos!

The Fourth of July

As much as I may disagree with a lot that goes on in this country, as much as I don't consider myself to be patriotic, I think we're finally starting to move in a good direction... slowly. And I know that I am truly blessed to live in a country where I am free and resources are bountiful, because most people do not have those blessings.

Happy Independence Day.

Traditions

It wouldn't be fourth of July weekend without the traditions my family has created over the years. Traditions remind us that no matter how crazy, chaotic, and completely random the rest of the year may seem, some things will never fully change.

Happy birthday mom!

Happy Fourth of July everyone else.
