It's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea...

...but I'd rather be here than on land.

So a few things going on in my life.. just to update any of you that care. :)

1. I've been playing my ukulele nonstop for like the past... 2 weeks. Literally. Nonstop. I don't know what happened to me, but that's all I want to do with my time these days. I've learned some pretty cool songs. And I'm getting much better at switching back and forth between Woody and Halle Kahiki (those would be the names of my ukuleles in case you didn't know). I'm excited for this upcoming weekend where Woody will be reunited with his younger (and much less handsome) brother Buzz (aka my dad's bari-uke).

2. I am currently enjoying the bliss of spring break. :) YAAAY. Already I've accomplished SO MUCH. I learned how to play "Out of My League" on the uke. I can even pick the intro. Poorly. But I'm learning. I am super excited to show Courtney Cook... because I know even if it sucks somehow she'll still be proud of me. She's just that kind of person.

3. Tomorrow. I am attending a fairy dust/glitter party. I am incredibly excited. I even made one of those big tutus with the tulle. Mine is pretty awesome. It kind of looks like how I envisioned Lemon Pop the blue (ish) fairy... for those of you who remember that far back in the day. :) Ha. (My guess that is even if no one else has any idea what I am talking about... at least Wendy Lady will). Man I really wish I had a copy of that story. BUMMER. Except I remember most of it.. so I guess it doesn't really matter.

4. I am really ridiculously (good looking. ha.) excited to go home on Friday. I plan to head out bright and early. I may even set my alarm to awaken me before the time I would normally arise. Yeah. I'm that excited. So dear Idaho Fallsians. Please be ready to PARTY with me! :) Please and thank you. The plans include (not necessarily in order):
A. Home by 1/2 ish. (I know. I told you I want to leave early)
B. Lunch with Mama.
C. Pocatello with Quartney, Katie, and Robbie to see our friends. :) YAY.
D. Play time with Bobbi Sue.
E. Ukulele jam sessions. With whoever will play with me.
F. Making a youtube video with Katie Martin and whoever else happens to be in it. Probably/hopefully Robbie and Quartney.
G. Everything else is currently TBD. But it will hopefully be one ACTION PACKED weekend.

5. Ah. Crap. I just forgot what I was going to put in section five. :(

6. OH WAIT! I remember! I know that I don't know a lot about my life/the future. And I don't even know for sure what I want to do with my life or whatever. But I decided that there is one thing I know about my life for sure. I want to travel the world. See everything there is to see. Learn everything there is to know about the world. I was in my Intro to Hospitality Management class yesterday and we watched a movie about cruises. (We all know how much I love cruises). But there was this one that really stuck out in my mind. It was a world cruise. 107 days. 44 ports. 37 (i think?) countries. I want to do that. I mean.. maybe I don't need to go on a 3 month cruise, but I want to travel. I want to see all those countries. I want to travel. I want to learn about and see different cultures. I want to meet people from other countries. I hate thinking about getting married and living with my husband in Idaho or Utah or anywhere and just being content with that one place... never traveling like so many people I know from the area. I know I could never be happy with that. Not really. I want to see all the states by the time I'm 27... sooner if possible. 13 states in 7 years shouldn't be hard right? Maybe it's because I was spoiled growing up and my parents took me to cool places and we saw cool things. They've already taken me to more than half the states, Canada, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. Living here.. is stifling and stuffy. That's all. Just a look into my brain about something I crave. Need. Desire. Want. Whatever you want to call it. I think I'll go with need. I NEED to travel.
Well. I must be off. I have a lot to do in preparation for this fairy dust party tomorrow. Including, but not limited to: buying socks, buying glitter, Debating whether or not to buy/make fairy wings, etc.
