I'M 21 !

I'm really terrible at taking pictures so I have to give credit to every single one of the pictures on my blog to someone else, most of them come from my very talented and amazing friend Katasha Cox, if you have not checked out her blog or know who she is please click on her name on the right hand column because she is fantastic, her birthday is in July and she loves the color red...what more do you need in order to be kindred spirits? No, but really she is fantastic and we got to share our Birthday party together, we had a whole bunch of our friends over for cake and ice cream and it was a lot of fun! I felt so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people, although I was not with my family I was so grateful for my loving roommates and friends who have literally become my Boston family!

Right now I am 21, still single, living in Boston, dancing, and spiritualy progressing.

The stars and stripes = Rascal Flats and Walden Pond

I experienced a traditional Bostonian 4th of July with the Boston Pops, fireworks, and swimming in Walden Pond. Here are just a few of the pictures from my fantastic
4th of July weekend.


Carly, Tiffany, and I getting ready for some Rascal Flats!


This was just after our dip in Walden pond!


The Beautiful Sunset before the big firework show.


The fire works were amazing! This picture was taken by my wonderful friend Katasha.

ODD-A-WALL-A

There is a beautiful pond several miles from my home, it is perfect and seems to be from another time and place altogether. In a way it is a lost treasure found by only a few who are willing to venture outside of the city and explore the greater metropolis of Boston. Jamaica pond truly is a magical and beautiful place and it was my dear friend Tiffany that introduced me to this sacred space at the beginning of the summer, since our first adventure to the pond I have since returned several times and have found an immense amount of love for this truly magical place. When Tiffany introduced me to this beautiful place we rode and parked our bikes near the boat house and began wandering around the pond until we found the perfect place to sit, talk, read and eat good food. We climbed a tree with a large branch that hung out over the pond and straddled the large branch facing each other. We hung our bags on nearby branches and just sat and soaked up the sun. We let it wash over our bodies making us feel rich and full. As we sat and talked about boys, religion, and life we peeled oranges and let the juice run down our arms. Time seemed to have slipped through the cracks of eternity giving us the opportunity to taste a bit of the divine. Before we left we decided that calling this supremely divine pond by its proper name would simply not suffice, so we decided to re-name the pond and came up with the name Oda walla. I’m not exactly sure what it means, but I do know that Oda Walla is a place where magic may occur. So no matter where you are in your life go on an adventure find a place of solitude and let time just wash by you.

This Month I am:

Going to New York to participate and perform in the United Nations Youth Assembly

Visiting Utah for a weekend in celebration of my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary

I am also:

Choreographing, Working, Dancing, Sleeping, Eating, Going to Church, Singing in the rain, babysitting, studying my scriptures, enrichment, learning to cook delicious meals inexpensively, making salsa, getting my new bike fixed, reading and realizing that I did not even get half way through my summer reading list, last minute adventures, swing dancing at the Boston Harbor Hotel, dating, breathing, praying, laughing, and growing closer to God.

When I'm tired with a little bit MORE

I originally entitled this blog…when I’m tired because I honestly began writing and putting up posts late one Sunday night when I was tired. I was feeling wild and crazy and so I put on a bright red hat and began shooting out energy into the Universe. It was wonderful I let my fingers gracefully move across the key pad while my heart sang a song of Creative fulfillment. However, I have recently come to the realization that perhaps my blog might be a little bit more useful if I used it to stay in touch with family and friends. Of course my random blogs about pants, beagles, and rain are not going to stop but will simply be the beginning of the wonderful adventures yet to be sent out into the Universe.
