And it has only been two weeks...

Summer is in full swing. I have been loving every second of every day. Even if the weather wasn't nice, I was feeling great. I spent my first week of summer cruising around with some foxy friends and some BRBs. Then, Whitney, Kate and I packed up and drove 12 HOURS!!!!

We decided to go visit Kate's cousin Andy, who goes to Oregon State. And it took us 12 HOURS to get there. There is also an AGD house at OSU and so we got to hang out with some of the AlphaGams from Corvaliss. This tiny little college town was sooo funny. Adorable, and a complete shit show at the same time. Gotta love college town. It's party all the time. Did I mention it took us 12 HOURS to get there? Anyways I had the an amazing time in Oregon. Everything is sooo green and beautiful. WE spent a day in Portland and that is a fun city.

We left Oregon at 9:15am on Monday morning, and sure enough we did not arrive home in SF until around 9:20pm. 12 HOURS!!!! But the 12 hours there and the 12 hours back was 24 hours of laughter, and divas, and Sexy John Mayer, and endless inside jokes, and stopping a 1,000 times to pee. And all of it was sooo much fun!!! They say half the trip is getting there, but in our case it was only a third of the trip. haha

Anyways the last week has been soo relaxing. I have been missing Taylor like crazy because she is in Turkey and she gets back in like 3 days and I can't wait to see her!!!
I will post again soon!!!

It's Summer!!!

So the last few months have kicked my rear. I have really figured out who I am, but I am worn out. I can't believe how quickly 2010 as flown by, i mean it is almost half way over. I am not even 48 hours into summer and I can already tell that is gonna be the most amazing summer ever!!! Last summer was great, life changing, but I am going to conquer this city in the next couple months!

TGIS!!!!!

Thank. Gravity. Its. Summer.

A Huge Epiphany About Little Pieces

Life is about finding those little pieces of heaven. Searching the world for those tiny details that make it all worth while. We are engineered to seek the things that make our hearts beat just a little faster.

In the last year, I have found so many of these little things. I could cry thinking about how AMAZING the last year of my life has been. I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Last summer I got the amazing opportunity to go to Spain and spend 5 weeks living in the most charming town on the planet. Padilla de Duero was and always will be home. The people i met there, even though our conversations were rough through the language barrier, are my family. Salamanca left it mar on me for life, literally i got a tatto in that beautiful city. Spain is a piece of my heaven. I could go on forever about Spain, but I will save that for another blog.

After returning to the states, I spent most of the summer in my BEAUTIFUL apartment in the wonderful city of San Francisco, I have learned to appreciate every little piece of this city. I am sooo close to knowing what I want to do with the rest of my life.

I have my roof, which has become my headquarters anytime I need an escape. I can think clearly out here. Obviously, it inspired this blog.

I found the Shannon, where even 6 glasses of ice water is a great time. The company in that little bar makes me one of the happiest girls in San Francisco. I love the IRISH!!!! Whether Emmett is making me Gin and Tonics, or a cup of tea, I am as cheery as all the other Irish sitting at the bar.

I am living my life for every moment... because in the end that is what it is all about.

For my Philosophy class this semester, we discussed the idea of 'self' and 'purpose' from a religious perspective. We looked at the Christians, the Buddhists, we looked at Hinduism and even at some Philosophers ideas on the subject. On one of the last days before the final, I started this blog up on the roof. I realized that you cannot force anything, because the important things will come effortlessly.

Now, well in to Summer 2010, I know that I am on my path to discovering who I am and what it is about this world that makes me happy. This Brunette is so happy that she has this blog to record all of her discoveries.

Until my next epiphany...

<3 Always
