Zions National Park

                 Soooo I had the most wonderful adventure. I got to go down to Zions National Park with my Dad and best friend (Courtney.) Every second was so fun and some type of adventure. We got up at 5am and drove down and instantly started on the hike in the Narrows. Talk about amazing. My mind was blowin everytime I looked around. We had these special shoes and socks to keep our feet warm and to be able to grip the rocks better. Doing the hike without those shoes would probably have been hell. In my opinion. They were ugly, smelly and uncomfortable but totally worth it. After we hiked the Narrows we went out to this little natural pool to do a little bit of "cliff jumping." Well you could see the bottom so I did not jump. I refused. It looked like the water was 3 feet deep!! I feel bad for not going and all but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Afterwards we went to return the shoes and get something to eat. We ate at this place called Wildcat Willies. It was quite the place to eat! After hiking all day it was like heaven. And of course afterwards we had to go get ice cream from the candy store. I have never had a perfect ice cream cone but those, they were perfect. Like perfectly round on the cone and yeah. We then got to go to the place we were camping and on the way you have to go through this tunnel that is a mile long. Yeah. A mile long. It had like windows ever few hundred yards or so but  it was really cool.
                    The place we stayed at was called The Ponderosa Ranch. Such a cool place. They had legit resort pools and hot tubs, hot showers, a zip line, mini golf, ping pong and pool, outside movies, a restaurant and more. It was nice. We set up camp, went and sat in the hot tubs and took a shower. Needless to say we slept fine that night!! When we woke up we cleaned up camp and went to do the zip line. Courtney has kinda a fear of them seeming how last time she was on one she broke her pelvis. So I had to go first. I hate heights. Like it's my second biggest fear. But this was not scary at all! In fact I loved it! Courtney only went once but we had four runs for the two of us. So I got to take her second one and go three times:) Then we left. But the adventure's not over!! We stopped at a petting zoo on the way home. It smelled but was really funny. It just had like goats and llamas and stuff like that. Super cute:)
                  And that would be my over night adventure with two of my favorite people:)

Seven Peaks

One of my homes for this summer.
When I was little we got to go once a year and it was a BIG deal.
It was something we all looked forward too.
This year they came out with what's called the Pass of all Passes.
It gets you into Seven Peaks, Trafalga and other stuff.
Being the very lucky girl that I am, my brother in law and sister had got a thing with four passes and their daughters were young enough that they got theirs free. So they had two extra and they gave one to me:)
So I have been going quite a lot this year. I mean why not? Free swimming with basically anyone because everyone got the pass? Duh.

Losing love

There comes that time, for nearly everyone, when you have to go through some type of heart break. That time of losing someone you love. 

Seeing that person go on with their life and not taking a second to look back is one of the hardest things to go through. 

To lose that love. The one thing that makes life worth it. 

Love is the ultimate best feeling you can feel and being hurt by love, losing love, being alone is the ultimate low. 

I've always believed to experience the ultimate high you have to experience the ultimate low. I have gone through that ultimate low. 

Everyone says it makes you a stronger person but I don't know anyone that asks for that. I know I certainly didn't. 

This is one trial that I will never be able to live through again.
I can't wait to feel that ultimate high. I know it will come. 

Things have a way of working themselves out and that's when the rainbow shines. The true challenge is waiting for the storm to pass. Being strong when all you want to do is let go. That's when the hero inside of you comes out. 

There is something good waiting for every single person. All we have to do is learn to wait for it to get here.

Waiting. Learning patience. Working for what you want.

Now that, that is when you can feel that ultimate high.

Never give up. Things that are worth it take the most time and effort.

It won't be easy. In fact it will hurt like hell. But that's why you are not alone.

Rely on others. That's why they are there.

Talk to God. He wants to help you.

That time of heart brake is when you will be drawn to him the most.

He is the ultimate love. Always shoot for that.

This all comes from what I have learned while going through life.

It might be different for others but this is what it is for me.

This love I lost will always hold my heart.

And hopefully one day it won't be lost anymore.

Music.

Music can do wonders for the mind, body and soul.
Really, it can.
It somehow has this effect that can calm you down or get you pumped for something.
How many of us end up turning to music when life is hard, boring, exciting. Anything.
It is such a big part in our everyday life.
Especially for me.
I can't even tell you how many times I have found a song that fits perfectly for what I am going through or what I am feeling. It has a way of saying things when you can't find the right words.
Music truly is magic.
It has it's only language and feeling.
It can hardly be counted as "A Little Thing"
But it's one of the most important things :)

Train Ride

This is a poem I found a while back and for some reason I love it:)

I’ve thought about you so much

If only you knew…

When I was a little girl

I’d spend hours at my bedroom window

looking down at people in the street

and to me, it seemed that they were all couples.

Then my mother would come in and tell me

that I couldn’t spend my life dreaming

with my head in the clouds all the time

that I had to wake up to life.

The funny thing was my mother had ended up pregnant with me

and then spent all her life waiting 

for my father to suddenly appear

to meet her after work

like in an Officer and a Gentleman

You know something?

I’ve been writing you poems all my life.

Because long before you appeared,

I knew you were there.

I’d picture you walking down the street turning corners

I’d even get jealous, 

imagining you surrounded by beautiful blonde girls

I’d get so mad

But really, I was jealous

Because they’d already come into your life

and I hadn’t.

Do you know what I would do?

I’d close my eyes

and wish with all my heart

that you’d keep going

without stopping at any station

to be by my side as fast as you could

I’ve been waiting for you all my life

and at last you’ve arrived.

I couldn’t be any happier.

I love you from the bottom of my heart

The Little Things

The sun on your face when you wake up.

A smile from a stranger.

The touch from him or her.

Finding you have your favorite cereal.

A text from a long lost friend.

Waking up late.

Braking a bracelet.

Forgetting your wallet.

Saying goodbye.

That's all it takes.

To brighten your day,

Or to bring it down.

It's the little things that have such a big effect on us.

They effect our mood and the way we act.

Never underestimate those little things.

They are what makes the big things.
