"Nienie Dialogues"

I love love love this picture!

I read about this on one of my friends' blogs today and I thought it was really cool. It's a blog about Stephanie Nielson and her husband Christian, who were in a near-fatal plane crash last August. "Mr. Nielson", as she endearingly refers to him, suffered burns on 30% of his body and a broken back and Stephanie received severe burns on 80% of her body. She writes from time to time about her recovery process. I admire the faith of this woman and her husband. She has such a positive outlook on life and a real appreciation for "the little things" in life that we take for granted every day. I would only hope that I would do the same if I were in her position. Check it out. You may just get completely addicted like I did!

More adventures in Argentina

This picture makes me smile every time I look at it. :D

And yes that's totally a bat on his leg...

All I have to say is,

"Simple minds... Simple pleasures"

GNO

It's taken me way too long to write about this but I had a girl's night out with Melissa and Brianne on Tuesday. I seriously wish we hadn't waited so long to go out! Hopefully the three of us will take it as a lesson to not let our lives get to busy for each other. As soon as we sat down, I just looked at the people sitting at the tables next to us and was like, "Oh, poor people," because I knew we would be so crazy and laugh incredibly loud, which of course we did. We talked about everything. Our hopes, our dreams, and our plans for the future. It just made me realize how much I really love those girls and was, I felt like, the beginning of a new relationship for the three of us. I mean, we've been friends for years, but we're all kind of at different crossroads in life right now and it was good to realize that we have each other's support in whatever lies ahead.

Mexico Cruise

I just got back from a cruise with the Harwells to Cabo San Lucas, and Ensenada Mexico. They all got brownie points for putting up with me for five straight days.

LDR

Sometimes 5,818 miles feels lightyears away...

Love affair with Pandora

Have you ever heard of Pandora? No, not the chick with the box, the website. If you haven't, quit reading this and go there now! It's a great website where you can listen to all kinds of music for free! They also have it for your iPhone too and I listen to it every night as I'm falling asleep. I hear some songs that I didn't even know existed, like the one I found on Saturday night for example. The song is called When I'm With You by Faber Drive. I'd never even heard of the band or the song before. It's about two people that are far away from each other and how they're going to appreciate every moment they have together when they see each other again (I bet you can't guess why I love that song so much...). It's on my playlist at the bottom of the page if you want to listen to it. Hooray for Pandora!

I fail...

Ok, I've already failed at the quote of the day business (there was no post yesterday if you're still not following...) but here's today's:

Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.
-Samuel McChord Crothers

Yeah, I have no idea who that guy is but I really like that quote. It reminds us that failure isn't always a bad thing. Have a good day folks and we'll see ya tomorrow!
