Kina Grannis

So Kina Grannis is an artist that I have been following since she posted her first couple of videos on youtube. I found her when I was looking up Waiting on an angel by Ben Harper and I found her doing a cover song. I dare you to listen to her songs and not fall in love with her. Anyways she's on tour and playign on a friday night in April in North Carolina and I am going to try so hard to go! : ) On the down side I woke up Sunday morning sick.....just in time for my new job and Valentines day. Ughhh! Perfect timing. This weekend we went to pick up our new couch...(with the help of my wonderful dad) ...Yayy.

So Nino lets me cuddle with our babies on the Old (off the side of the road) couch...haha : ) Which makes me happy because he is a stiffler on dog hair.

PLEASE...check her out! I cant even pick my favorite song....i love all of them. She does a lot of cover songs but she has a lot of her own songs which are just as good!

If Only I Could Freeze Time...

Yesterday was one of the best days I have had in a long time. I live my life for days like this, it makes all of the bad times and struggle well worth it. I love the days where I can lay in bed and have long in depth conversations about life with my fiance. He really is my best friend. We woke up early Sunday morning and I didn't have to beg him to go to church with me, he came on his own. We tried a new church and he liked it : ) so were planning on going again next week. I just love seeing him all dressed up...I can't help but smile and look at him like some kind of creeper. haha. He is such a cutie!

Anyways....after church we stopped by to visit my parents and to drink some of mom's yummy coffee. We also spent time petting on my dog Champ. He has a tumor in his jaw that is REALLY bothering him and it breaks my heart to see him like that. He is 6 years old and SUCH a good dog. Dogs like him deserve to live long healthy lives. I hate when animals are sick and they can't tell you what is bothering them, how much pain they are in or what they need us to do. There isn't much we can do for him except give him his daily pain meds but I am hoping and praying!

We then went by the mexican super market to get groceries for me to make something Yummy for lunch, and I spent the rest of the afternoon watching nino break a sweat playing on the Wii (my little brother has created a monster). We went to Hooters in high point Sunday night to watch the Superbowl and it was such a good game and I LOVED the half time show. If I had to pick anyone to do the half time show amazingly enough I would have picked the Blackeyed Peas and def. USHER. Usher is one of my favorite men period. Every time I look up his videos on youtube Nino likes to point out how gay he is Haha, he screams jealousy. We had such a good time with our friends Amanda and Steven. Then of course we raced to Starbucks before they closed to get our Apple Caramel Spice drink : ) Which topped off my great day. 

I am truely blessed with the best family and some amazing friends!

Inspiration-Starfish Story

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "I made a difference to that one!"
