Sigh No More

Hello Fellow Blogger's,

It's been a while it seems since I've posted anything of real importance it seems. I blame my inconsistency on the fact that life has been busy in a very good way. Lately I've had some great opportunities to bond with some great gals. My dear friend Courtney came up at the spur-of-the-moment to check out a college in the area last week. I have also been able to get together with my dear friend Kacey numerous times in the last month. 

I wish everybody could meet Courtney and Kacey or be lucky enough to have friends who are as inspiring as they are. These ladies challenge me to get outside my comfort zone and really live for something. 

Courtney is like an anchor in a world of wicked waves. She's a good steady influence on me, always encouraging me to do the right thing and reminding me of God's marvelous love. She is confident and has a genuine joy and kindness that most people cannot express due to their insecurities in their own life. 

Kacey has an amazing way of looking at life and the world around us. A different perspective than most people. She's willing to challenge an idea and doesn't settle for a  mediocre explanation. It's people like her that keep our world from becoming a mundane place. I love sharing ideas with her because I know that I'm not going to get a typical conversation.

Friends are a part of life that I would not want to miss out on. 

Another exciting thing...

I love music but I have never been a CD/album collector. Most artists/musicians have a few great songs and the rest of their CD turns out to be disappointing. Just recently, however, I discovered an incredible band. They call themselves Mumford & Sons. They have the most interesting lyrics that have a very unique perspective and style.  On top of that their music is this amazing mix of folk, country and rock and it has this up-beat, melancholy sound. They are from England so naturally their accents are simply romantic. 

So, as you can tell, I fell in love with their music.... and therefore I decided to purchase their album, "Sigh No More". 

Let me tell you... it was worth all nine dollars.

Anyhow.... life is exciting! I'm really glad that it's starting to warm up and seem more like Spring. It's been getting down to 32 at night which is grand and next week the forecast is calling for highs in the 60's and 70's! I simply cannot wait for that! 

Until next time....
