Rain Rain Go Away

Dear Rain,

I know you often like to visit us here in Eugene and that you work very very hard to keep everything nice and green and that is oh so nice of you.  However I feel like you have been working way to hard and are in need of a vacation.

Love, 

Michelle

The Perfect Day

For a Bike Ride!

Someday....

The other day....

This happened a couple weeks ago, but I still thought I would share, because it is so great!

So the other day at track practice, one of the middle schoolers asked me who's mom I was....can you say AWKWARD?!?!??

Footprints in the Sand:

"Umuatu ngumuntu naga antu"

 "A Person is a person because of other people" 
- Zula Saying

I was given this quote in my education class and it really got me thinking so I thought I would share it with all of you!

Extreme cliche, yet very true in my life.  I would not be where I am today if it weren't for all the people that I have surrounded myself with for many years.  I have surrounded myself with not the greatest influences before, and I have learned from them.  But more importantly the people who are in my life now, I know are in it for a reason and want to thank you all for shaping me into who I am today!  

This quote also brings me back to why I started this blog.  I learn a great deal from other people and love to hear about other peoples life experiences.  I would hope that this blog is useful to family and friends back home, in that this is a way to keep connected with them.  I just love sharing my thoughts and experiences with people and hope that people like listening to them :)

precious!

More videos...thank you Mat Kearney!

So stoked for this movie and Mat Kearney's new song!  It makes me so Happy! :D

Where did this year go?  8 weeks left of my freshman year? what?!?!?  The end of this year is going to be bitter sweet! I am just absolutely on cloud nine right now loving spring term!  I don't want it to end!  However I can't wait for the summer!  Oh to be back in the sun!

This is just all I want my summer to consist of.

Back to the Real World

Its been a while since my last post (sorry!) Life caught up with me and sadly my blog and my creativity slowed down.

But Im back in Eugene after a much needed spring break spent relaxing with family and friends and visiting my favorite kids at the preschool of course!

These past few days in Eugene could not have been any better! 

 Loving my classes

 The sun shining bright!

Got some new Nikes and TOMS!!

 I started helping coach track at a middle school with my Wdylife team  and I must say that it is what I look forward to everyday!

Spring term is off to a good start and Im so excited to start seeing the sun more often!!

So many of these bloomed over spring break!
