The little things

Last night I had a lot of emotions; fear, sadness, uncertainty, anxiety. There is just a lot up in the air, things I cant control, and people leaving this life way too soon. Its all a little overwhelming. I'm not saying this to get sympathy or have a pity party, it was just one of those nights when everything seems to pile up.

What amazes me is how an animal can tell when someone is hurting or sad or in need of unconditional love. My cat cuddles but last night she slept on my chest for over 2 hours and then snuggled right down under my chin for the rest of the night, she is still right by my side as I type. Animals have the purest hearts. If you don't believe me, when you have a bad day you are welcome to come cuddle with Beckham

Verona Italy

I just purchased "Letters to Juliet" on DVD and I LOVE it. I saw it when it first came out, it was just as cheesy as I thought it would be, but made me fall in love with Italy all over again. I would really love to go back to Italy. There is so much I have not seen. Maybe I will just move there and live the laid back lifestyle I would be so good at :)
But really I want to go to Verona, I want to see the house of Juliet. I want to write a letter pouring my heart out. I know, I'm pathetic. It sounds so romantic to me. So therapeutic. I'm not even sure what my letter would say but lately I can think of nothing more perfect for how I have been feeling. Maybe one day I will get there. I will sit below that balcony and write the most amazing letter. But for now, I will just blog about it

Happy Birthday dear Hutch, Happy birthday to you

Today is my Hutchie's birthday, and man do I miss him. Kara, his wife, posted a sweet tribute for him in the Salt Lake Tribune. Read it here

Hutch, we miss you so much. But as Kara said, thank you for sending that sweet little girl down to earth. I love her to pieces. She looks so much like you, I can not wait to see how many other of your qualities she has. xoxo

I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler

About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar

I guess I have been MIA for a bit. I keep starting posts but for some reason am not putting any of them up. I feel like I have nothing to talk about but I must be busy because the weeks keep rushing by. Is it really the middle of August?! How did that happen???
I am loving my summer but I really miss the days when I was in school and summer meant long lazy days at the pool, family vacations and no responsibilities (well except summer reading list).
