Celebrating 80 Years

This weekend we celebrated my Grandma's 80th Birthday. I love going to Texas to see my relatives and catch up on everyone's lives. Sometimes Facebook and Twitter is just not enough.

My grandparents are in such great shape for their age and they are a real inspiration. They've also been married for 63 years which is incredible in itself.

Here are some pictures from this weekend!

Memory Loss

I finally saw The Vow last night, and it was good in the sense that it made me cry. I'm a sucker for sappy love movies that make me cry and make me go "aww". That's about as lovey dovey as I get. That's not the part of the movie that stuck with me though, it was the part where Rachel McAdams' character loses part of her memory. Sorry if you haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure you gathered that information from the preview, or you're just an idiot.

Her character wakes up after an accident and forgets a huge chunk of her life, and goes back to being the person she was a few years prior. This got me thinking, what if I lost my memory right now and woke up feeling like the person I was a few years ago. Sometimes we forget how far we've really come, and how much we have changed. I even feel like I've changed in the past six months, which is crazy to think about. The past couple of weeks have been rough, and I have been negative about where I am in my life. When put into perspective though, I have come so far from where I was a couple years ago, and for that I am so thankful. Sometimes it's hard to think about all of the people who are no longer part of our lives, but we have to remember that we outgrew them. Some people aren't meant to be apart of our whole journey, but just a small part to help propel us into the person we are supposed to be.

You will always have more growing up to do, everyone does, but when you start feeling bad about where you are in your life or with certain things, just remember where you've been and reflect on how far you've come. After all, life is about the journey, not an end result.

Update Time

I got an iPhone so now I can post on here straight from my phone! Technology is getting so out of control in a good way.

It's finally February and I am so happy. January seemed to drag on forever and a day. School is in full swing and making me busier than ever, just like right now I should be reading for class tomorrow (or sleeping) but I am updating this thing. I absolutely love my internship and I am learning so much about the industry.

I am currently working on securing a broadcast internship in San Diego for the summer. Then I can be home with my family and friends but still be working towards my future.

I can already tell 2012 is going to be an amazing year and I'm excited to see what February brings to the table.
