40 degrees--> 5 degrees

ONE day?

this weather's freakin' me out!!
tomorrow i head back to the lake,
for not only the holiday's but a few months down under.
reality's finally hitting me, i'm going to miss this place,
all the parts i love about Iowa City and more.
though i will return in the near future,
i know the midwest has lots more in store.
but there's a whole world out there,
with only one lifetime to see it and one to live it.
so i'm peacin' out of IC, nervous? no doubt.
excited?? CAN'T WAIT:)

Our last night in Iowa City together...

can't sleep...

Its 6 am, I cannot sleep..
glancing outside, the snows knee deep

missing the sun, my tan, the lake..
all replaced by a couple snowflakes

I hate that lately I feel so lazy..
but this weather, damn, it's driving me crazy!

although I love the changing of the seasons..
I still wish it was summer, for so many reasons

4 hour drive + an extra hour and a half + blizzard - one car window = WORST DRIVE EVER!

Years will Pass, Best Friends...NEVER!

This past weekend I spent 3 wonderful days with a group of girls who have had a major impact on my life...belting Taylor Swift lyrics from Iowa City to Madison to Winona to LaCrosse...
while we were together, hours felt like minutes and the past two and a half years felt like only yesterday...
holding nonstop laughter and tears, remembering memories we have had together and catching up of our lives since then..
as individuals we have grown, not apart but strangely closer.
as happy as we were together, we were even more happy for one another and the paths we have each chosen for the next phase of what we call "life".
raising our glasses, we cheers to our everlasting friendship and the love we will always hold for one another, near or far, months or years, will never be an issue...for this is a known fact in each of our hearts without it having to be spoken...

ON IOWA!!

Because that's what friends are for...


All beautiful things are wild
All beautiful things are free
Beauty is forever...
Wouldn't you agree?
its pleasantness increases; it will never
Beauty is forever...

What If?


waves weren't BLUE...

It’s one of those mornings, you know how I feel
Gloomy! dreary! What’s the deal??
Raindrops beating on my windowsill
Rested? Not at all…
Clearly ignoring my wake up call
Rolling out of bed…I’m going to make it to class
A cup of coffee and shower is all that I should need
Hit snooze one too many times, I better use some speed
Hard to attain for it’s one of those mornings…
6 am at the break of dawn…

how i felt this morning...


The Lord is My Rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My God is My Rock in whom I take refuge. He is my sheild and the strength of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2

today, while i was grabbing a cup of coffee, my mind was everywhere but where it was suppose to be..failing to study, i couldn't help but glance at those walking by or at those who were being productive..in contrast to me
my mind was wandering all over the place...slowly sipping i couldn't help but sigh...i have a test in an hour and yet i feel like I'm not ready..12 hours of studying..and yet...nothing...i don't now if it was the test or the thought of what is to come...why am i taking this test? what am i going to do with my life? am i the only one that feels this way? GOSH! i hope not...and i don't believe i am...i don't think anyone knows what God has planned for them..but the "real" world?? i guess i just have to wait, wait, and.....wait, and hopefully i can rely on what we and God himself calls "fate"...

THURSDAY!!
