A fresh start...

Aspen Grove, here we come!!

Hopefully I’ll have some good pictures to post soon.

Yes, it's true...

…I am a Miley Cyrus fan. I just got home from seeing the ‘new’ Hannah Montana movie and it just solidified my fan status. I think her music is so fun and the movie was the perfect amount of cheesy. But mostly (Lindsey, if you read this, I’m sorta copying you) I just love this song:

I think the lyrics are fantastic and fairly often they describe exactly what I’m thinking and feeling. “Ain’t about how fast I get there…it’s The Climb".

The Climb Lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J., Mabe, J

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there’s a voice inside my head saying
“You’ll never reach it”

Every step I’m taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I’m not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

‘Cause there’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody’s gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It’s all about, it’s all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

Since I wrote last....

So, its been a little while since I wrote last, and I thought it was finally time to write again. I also thought that the easiest way to bring everyone (does anyone even read this???) up to date is a slideshow. So here’s a look at the last few months.

I think I’d have to blame facebook for my lack of blogging. It seems like it is easier for me to just log in to facebook for a few minutes than to post a blog.

Included in the slideshow: Thanksgiving in Montana, Christmas with family (but I don’t have ANY pictures of Christmas in California!! ), Pictures and videos of my adorable cats, New Years with family, Girlfriends reunion, Snowshoeing adventures and a few other random pictures.

It’s been a good few months! However, I’m ready for spring. The weather has been perfect!! Bring on the sunshine!

Yard work

I’ve been meaning to post pictures of my yard for a while. I had A LOT of great help in finishing my cute little backyard. My parents have been so good at helping me know what to do… and doing a lot for me too!! My dad put his excellent carpentry (is that what it would be called??… not sure) skills to use and built me a deck. He had some help from my nephew, Weston, too. Thanks SO much!! Here are some ‘before’, ‘in progress’ and ‘after’ pictures. I love the final result… and I’m already excited for spring and summer so I can continue to enjoy it.

BEFORE

IN PROGRESS

AND AFTER!
