Out of No Where

I woke up today to an unsuspected jolt. It ended up not being such a bad thing, but it did throw my day off a little bit. The funny thing is, I am glad that my day was thrown in such a way. Not because my husband fell of his bike this morning while riding to work - which caused a string of events to play out, but because we got this out of no where time together. As we proceeded to the doctor and to get x-rays, we looked at each other and just smiled because beyond the worry of praying that his bruised leg and swollen hand were okay, was a little bit of unsuspected happiness. Despite his getting hurt and me freaking out, I realized, that it is in moments like these- we lean on each other. I am so thankful that my husband is okay... but more than that I am so thankful to have him in my life, to smile with, to lean on and to laugh with even when time are a little tough!



Happy Monday!

Reflections

What a day yesterday was - 10 years that I have been with Michael. It really makes me think about life. Reflecting on where I have been, the things I have done and the accomplishments I have made. So much good stuff, but still i'm left with this feeling of wanting more. Not only for me and my husband in regards to personal goals and life goals but for me. Where do I want to go, and what do I want to do? These questions have racked my brain for quite sometime. As I have watched other friends build careers and go back to school I have yet to discover the "right thing" for me. It's kind of hard to admit but at almost 26 i'm still trying to figure it out. I know there is no rule book, no guide to life but sometimes I think it would be so much easier if their was...

In other news I just came home from Europe a week ago and had an awesome time, here are some pictures to prove that I actually went and for your pure viewing enjoyment...

Top of the Eiffel Tower (well almost)

The Alps
And no Europe trip would be complete without some nutella...

Going to Europe was fabulous but coming home after a trip like that is always an adjustment. The time that passed each day in Europe felt like an eternity because there was so much stuff crammed into one day. But in LA everything happens so quick. Our lifestyle's here are so different than the places we visited. It was so nice to experience something like that for a bit of time, even if that time was for two weeks. It was eye opening and fun too.

But for now, it's back to the grind. Until next time.
