Oh how beautiful...

Well I was browsing my most favorite blogs I stumbled upon a very lovely artist. The instant I saw her paintings I was in love. I felt like they captured by soul. Oh how I would love one of her paintings... or even a print of one of her painting. However I am finding it very difficult to find one online.









Beautiful!

Well I have been in Texas for the last week. It's been really nice seeing my family and having time off of work and school to just relax and sleep in and not worry about all of the stuff that must be done. I can truly be exhausting to think and this week I have been able to step slightly away from most of my troubles and just relax and enjoy myself.

There are still some moments where I wish I could just snap my fingers and turn everything back to normal... but the truth is better than discomfort and this is what I must embrace.

I told you to be patient...

I am currently in love with Bon Iver. My favorites include Flume, Skinny Love, Blood Bank, Woods, and Roselyn. Each one is hauntingly beautiful and heartfelt in it's own way.

The man behind Bon Iver is Jutin Vernon. He recorder For Emma, Forever Ago over a four month period spent hidden away in his fathers Wisconson cabin. It's almost like you can feel his isolation and sorrow. I am so happy to have found his music.

Lately, I have been really into finding new and interesting music. I will keep updating as I find more lovely artists.

This is me...



I am 21 years old and a college student at the University of Idaho. I have been married for 3 years and just finished my 7th semester of college.

I want to be a librarian, which means I will be spending a few more years in school to get my Masters in Information Science. I would love to run the rare books collection of a university library.

Right now my majors are History and Political Science. During a brief stint of obsession over The West Wing, I dreamed of working in Washington DC and making a difference in the world. While I do still want to make a difference, I highly doubt it will be through the world of politics. However I do still love to learn about how such things work.

Right now I am going through a bit of a hard time, and am sad a lot of the time. I am making every effort to help bring about the end of my sadness... but I don't know when that will be. I am trying to stay strong and hold my head up high.

I thought perhaps blogging about the bad and the good will help me sort through my feelings in a more productive way.

So here goes nothing...
