His name is Gaylord. That's Hot. He's Seven. Oh.....

So I was watching "The Voice" the other night....

You know the show.

With the singers.

And the guy who is annoyingly charismatic.

And the country duo that is AWESOME.

And, of course, Blake, Adam, Usher, and Shakira.

Yeah...it is a recent find.

Anyway....back to the meat of the post.

During the commercial break, this ad came up.

And I just died.



I mean.....

It's just....

Hahaha....

It's just awesome.

Charmin...you have my complete loyalty.

Is this the Forehead of Security?

In light of my new look on life...

I decided it was adventure time.

So I took a week off from doing nothing and went home.

I know that doesn't seem quite adventurous, but sometimes when you are held up in one place for five months, a change of scene seems nice.

Even if it is a somewhat familiar one.

But before I headed home, my first stop was this cool kid's house.

We hit up the backyard. Played some B-ball. Jumped on a wet trampoline. 

Yeppers...it was delightful.

Second stop: Home.

Where we visited the other cool kids' house.

(Sorry.....forgot to take a picture).

Then watched as this cool kid was baptized.

Then after stuffing ourselves with Mongolian food and then shopping and then sleep and then church, we all congregated at Grandma's house. 

For a barbecue. And other shenanigans.

Like unearthing worms.

Eating awesome food. 

Playing dress-up.

Playing endless rounds of What-If and She Said, He said. Oh....the laughs.

And enjoying some of the best company that exists on this planet.

Then came Good-bye and the Road Trip back. 

Filled with Awesomeness as seen above.

And snow!

 In May. 

Why not, right?

Stuffed has two syllables. Stuff-ed. I DON'T LIKE THAT.

There are some days where one is content.

With where they are. 

What they are doing. 

Who they are. 

And where they are going. 

But there are some days where one longs for more. 

Longs for change. 

For travel. 

For adventure. 

For uncertainty. 

For scenery that is unknown and undiscovered. 

And it's been one of those weeks.

Although I know that I am blessed to be here, sometimes I wish I could just go.

So right now, I am going to promise myself something,

To NEVER stop dreaming.

To NEVER give up with anything I believe in.

To NEVER not feel good enough to be on this earth.

To NEVER let my dreams be belittled.

To NEVER forget the opportunities are limitless.

To NEVER EVER live life with lost adventures.





I want to seize every moment and live it like it can never be lived again.

I want to find the love that exists all around the world.

I want to cherish all the beauty the Lord has provided us.

I want to live and honor those who have gone before me and Those who have created me.

For I never want to look back at my life and see a stationary person.

I want to see a moving, improving, giving, loving, forgiving, dreaming person.

Someone who someday can inspire my children.

To live.
