Back Home & After

After a bit of turbulence, being surrounded by young twenty-something hot messes, screaming children, and various delays- I'm back! Finally back home in the desert after some delicious Waffle House because it was open and I love breakfast foods.

After attending a wedding and then having another dear friend get engaged over Memorial Day weekend, weddings have been on my mind. This video has gone viral over the past few days and I tear up every time I watch this amazing proposal.

Unpacking is just going to happen tomorrow. :P At least our kitty remembered me and welcomed me home. I missed him terribly.

Hanging On

Two songs that I have been constantly listening to are Taylor Swift & The Civil Wars' "Safe and Sound" from the Hunger Games soundtrack and Jason Mraz's new "I Won't Give Up." They have helped keep me grounded and are reminding me to keep hanging in there. I need to keep believing that we can change where our lives have taken us for the better. Here are a few of my favorite covers of each, in order of how much I like them (ending with my favorite cover). Hm, that was kind of difficult narrowing it down...
