 I know a few weeks I posted about moving to Denver, but for many reasons, plans have changed.We're now moving in with a friend up here in Evergreen, right down the street from where we're living now. I am so grateful for awesome friends. P and I will be sharing a {rather large} bedroom, which is fine with me because he already sleeps with me every night anyway. We officially move at the end of the month, but I've started packing stuff up already and am going to try and move little by little. I think it'll be easier...

{check out the link on the left sidebar <----i'm taking part in "Blog every day in May challenge"}Day 8-"A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all"I'm not sure that i'm the best person to give anyone advice, because I feel like lately I haven't been making the best decisions. I mean, I just think that I could be a lot smarter when it comes to a lot of things and I tend to look past what I shouldn't...I could sit here all day giving "advice" that I think will benefit people, but it's hard to...

Scares the crap outta me. On the same note, I get really jumpy in the car in general, when i'm a passenger anyway. When i'm driving and in control, i'm fine, but the minute someone else is driving I get super freaked out so easily. I am...

LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I have so many "favorite" quotes and quotes that mean a lot to me. So, instead of choosing a "quote" per say, I choose a song. Naive Melody (this must be the place)- Talking Heads. Go youtube it, it's amazeballs. Really it is. "Home, is where I want to be but I guess i'm already there..." "Never for money,...

I don't get "uncomfortable" very easily I guess... ~ When people ask me to take sides right there and then. Hate it. ~ Public speaking. Always so uncomfortable right before hand, but once I get going it's not bad. ~ When people misspell words, or use the wrong word instead of the right one (i.e. they're, their, there). The part that makes me uncomfortable...
