Bonjour, mamma.

Hehe, oh life. This year has been incredible. I entered my senior year of college, I discovered new hobbies and gained inspiration in some of the most untouched avenues of my life. I met incredible people, set some new goals and most importantly began to really love my life and the people around me. I am AAA okay with being single, love can be given and received even when you have no body to call your own. I began to love. Oh and philanthropy [I may just pursue you as a career]. A few things that totally got me through the rough patches this year: La Blogotheque I highly recommend watching this video. Lomography Bon Iver He breaks my heart I love him so much. The Temper Trap Although they are not my no. one band they paved way to some of the thoughts I mustered together this year. To hone in on every great moment of 2009 would result in me blogging all day. Bottom line; the world can truly be a beautiful place. Surround yourself with those that will lift you up. Take time to liste...

She is a stunning soul, my friend Kirsten . Have you ever met someone that has many characteristics similar to your own, but theirs are much more intriguing? I feel this way about Kiki. I swear, if you can catch a glimpse of this girls smile on a rainy day, the clouds will part and the most beautiful rainbow will appear. Her love f or Christ and desire to be more like Him is so admirable. She is my spiritual sister. Her family and heart is in Florida and finally got a job offer at a Miami resort. A great job, close to her family, and HELLO near the ocean. Although I know her time here in the Las Vegas was appreciated, her soul was never quite fulfilled in this city (a common case). Every Sunday (when I didn't have work) we would go get lunch after church and be silly ladies (talk politics, religion, freedom, expression ) and it never failed to get heated up. I am thankful for my sweet sis Kirsten and I will always look up to her in so many ways. I LOVE YOU KEEKS. OH AND PANERA...
