Check

I have always been great at making lists, setting goals, and knowing what I need to do to fulfill my goals. It is the following through that I have not always been so great at. One thing I have learned through the trials and tribulations of the past couple years is that no one, NO ONE, will cross these items off my list except myself. Never will I be comfortable with taking risks or being rejected, but I am also not comfortable with letting these fears win.

It may seem silly, but one of my goals was to enter graphic design contests. There is the fear that I will not win or even come close, but at the heart of the matter is the fear of rejection. I need to get over this fear (it is a pretty ridiculous fear), so I finally bit the bullet and entered a contest. I don't expect to win, but I am happy I finally took the step to do it. On to the next one...

(If I do win, maybe I will share my designs)

Lofty Dreams

I have a slight obsession with lofts...maybe some day my house will have a loft in a cool barn in the backyard.

I think this weekend calls for some Blood Orange Margaritas or maybe some fun Mojito cocktail...like these...CHEERS!

A World Away

Some pictures of the most beautiful place I have been to in the US thus far with my favorite person in the world.

Where the crap is time going? I feel like it is flying by and I'm not sure I am ready for it. I have one semester left. Two measly classes. Four months and I am done. I am anxiously. I am nervous. I am excited about all the things to come, but the insecurity within myself makes me wonder if I am ready. Well as I am learning, life does not wait for you to be ready.
