Bucket List?

 Here it is, my never ending bucket list and reminders to myself. I come up with new things daily. Life is short, and I have so much I want to accomplish. Isn't it great how we can go and do what ever we choose?  Endless opportunities await! I suggest you write down your very own bucket list... it made me so excited actually seeing things I want to do/ accomplish.

Today.

Woke up early. Went up Hobble Creek Canyon, where Lauren and I did a little photo shoot. Came home, grabbed camera, and drove to rock canyon. Watched the sun come over the mountains, and took some pictures. Went to work. Lunch at Einstein Bagels. Home to edit some photos. Work again. Home. Pumpkin smoothies with best friend. Today is a good day. 

3dstreetchalkart

I have always thought chalk/street/3D art is the coolest thing. I hope one day to see such things with my own two eyes, but in the mean time, I enjoy looking at pictures. So amazing! 

(Kaya sent me this one- located in Senegal Africa) 

it's monday.

Things that are great and deserve recognition:
- It's HOT outside. I'm a quite alright with summer sticking around a little longer in Utah, considering half the year is cold cold cold.
- Being able to talk to Kaya while she is in San Francisco for training. It is gradually easing me into talking to my sister about once a month rather than multiple times a day.
- Staying home, sleeping in, and frankly doing anything my little heart desires while everyone else is finishing up their last year of high school. I have said it before, and I will say it again, I am very pleased with my decision to graduate a year early.
- Knowing what I am going to do career wise- if you haven't heard, I am on my way to becoming a neonatal nurse practitioner!
- My hair is getting long (which I've been working on for almost a year now).
- Beautiful sunsets- note the picture above.
- Last but not least, it's Monday and I have a whole new week ahead of me! 

I love to dance dance dance

It all started off at the beginning of my Sophmore year when I had this crazy thought pop into my head that maybe it would be fun to join the dance team at my school. Miraculously I made the team. Ever since my love for dance has matured. As all of you all probably know, because I talk about this subject way too much, I went to Folkuniversitetet and was part of their dance program in Linköping Sweden. I believe that is where I fell in love with dance. I am not saying by any means that I am a prodigy or even 'good' for that matter. But it makes me so incredibly happy, it doesn't matter if I'm amazing or not. What matters is I have fun doing it!

My wonderful dance coach and teacher Mrs. Fullmer was the one who really pushed me to start dancing. She encouraged me to stick with it even when I wanted to quit. If it weren't for her I would have a undiscovered joy in my life. If it weren't for her I wouldn't have attended Folkuniversitetet, which means I would have missed out on all the amazing experiences I had there. I would have never met one of the most amazing people I have met in my entire life, Linnea...... Fullmer, I owe you big time. 

Picture Taking.

I really enjoy taking pictures, so I thought I would share a few of my favorites! 

(Warning: some of these may just be my favorites because of the memories attached, not the photo quality)

8 things I love this week.

I have had such a great week. I thought I would share a few things that added to its greatness! 

I love painting my nails in fun ways, and I found a way to do newspaper print nails! I love them. To learn how, go here.

Kaya came home from INDIA! :)

She brought me back beautiful clothes that I love! Thanks Kaya! 

.... More things from India that I love. 

Cuddling in a blanket and sipping hot tea on a rainy day. 

Eating a delicious chocolate bar with cute wrapping. 

I love looking outside and seeing all the blossoms on the fruit trees, reminding me summer is just around the corner. 

And last but not least... Boston. Although he can be very obnoxious, he always brightens my day. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Remember that you can always find happiness, whether your situation is good or bad, it is always waiting to be found. Sometimes you just have to search a little harder.
