I thought I'd share a couple of my favorite quotes with you all. I'm not sure who to give credit to for these, but I've had them written down in my notebook for a while and enjoy reading them often. They provide me a bit of encouragement from day to day.
"You musn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling"
"Sometimes just the act of sharing a painful secret can relieve some of the pain"
"Follow your heart and you'll never get lost"
I hope that these will give at least one of you a boost in life as they have done for me lately.

Road Trip
I've been on a little vacation/road trip since Thursday and have missed my little blog quite dearly. My trip took off Thursday morning when I headed down to Jacksonville (North Carolina).
Frodo rode along with me because I was taking him to do a trial run to see how well he would live with my dear friend Brittney. So far he is loving being the only child & is a great fit for Brittney. It's not that we wanted to get rid of Frodo, it's just that there are several dogs here at my parent's house and he craves so much attention. In addition to that, Brit just bought a house & wanted a dog. I saw it being the perfect match, so I made the offer since she's always loved Frodo. I would never allow him to go live with anyone I didn't trust and I'm pretty sure Brit is one of the only people I would ever let take him.
Okay, so on to the trip. I got to spend lots of time with the wonderful Stoll family. I got to see Kristen & Laura...two of the sweetest people I know. Met a few new people, which is always great. I wish I could've stayed longer but I'll be returning in a few weeks to make up for it. I stayed in Jax until Saturday morning. That morning I made my way down to Charleston, South Carolina, to see Richard. We wandered around downtown and ate lots of great food and went through the market a couple of times. It rained all weekend so we watched scary movies and old cartoons for a majority of the time. We took a trip down to the aquarium since Richard has never been (?!?) and it was quite fun. I love animals, especially sea life. My favorites are always the seahorses and the jelly fish. It was a great trip & I can't wait to go back. Monday afternoon I headed to Charlotte, as my last stop, to see Ashley and Ryan. My Mom & I made her some tiebacks for her curtains as well as a cute little plastic bag holder for her kitchen, which were both made out of some left over fabric she had given me, I was so excited to give them to her. I also always look forward my free therapy sessions with Ash and Ryan. Haha! I finally returned back to my parent's house this morning & caught up on some much needed sleep. I returned to a freshly painted room, which was super exciting (Thanks Mom & Dad!).
Be looking for a Ten Things Tuesday on Wednesday, since my eyes are getting too heavy to put that up tonight :]

Help Japan!
Are you wondering how you could help the tsunami/earthquake relief for Japan? There are many organizations that are accepting donations. I prefer this one....not only do I get a cute shirt to show my support, 100% of the profits are given directly to Global Giving to aid Japan. $20 plus $5 shipping and you've made a difference. You've helped Japan as simple as that. After living in Okinawa for a while, this disaster has pulled on my heart strings and brought many tears to my eyes after barely making it through some of the footage. Click here to pre-order your shirt from Respire Apparel now!

Momma Makeover
My mom is always asking me to pick out clothes for her so tonight Jamie and I forced her to go to Old Navy for a mini-makeover. We didn't want to change her style too much since she likes to be comfortable. She picked out a dark wash pair of jeans and a tan cardigan. She also got two t-shirts that look great with both the jeans and cardie. We though the pink striped shirt added a little pop since she typically goes for a floral or basic shirt. You can't really go wrong with a cardigan or a nice pair of dark wash jeans! All we need now are a few accessories and she'll be good to go! Lookin' good momma!

Sometimes Fashionable
I thought this outfit was too cute so I had Jamie take a picture of me so I could share it with you all. It's not very often that I feel very "fashionable" but I believe this outfit qualifies. Not the most flattering photo of myself but you get the idea. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
