new!

I got a new bed today! I realize that is a pretty lame thing to be excited about, but in my defense I have been waking up every morning from back pain (car accident) - so I am hoping the new bed puts an end to this. I upgraded to a queen bed and got a $1600 mattress for $700 so I was pretty excited about that too. Apparently it has all the latest in bed technology so I scored a pretty great deal. Tonight will be the test! [ Thanks mom <3 ]

This has also motivated me to put my room through some spring cleaning (appropriate for the first day of spring) and re-decorate. I'm excited to change things up a bit in my room and shop for some new decor. I'm also excited to get some zzz's haha!

Good night and sweet dreams, xo

Prayers for Japan

I know it has been a few days since the earthquake hit Japan on Friday but the effects of the natural disaster are as devastating as ever - especially with the nuclear crisis getting worse each day. My heart goes out to everybody affected by the earthquake.

This event has personal significance to me. Being born in Japan, it was my home for the first few years of my life. Last night I was able to talk to a few family friends and was relieved to hear that everyone I know is ok and doing well. It becomes so much more real when you hear about it from someone in Japan rather than on TV or in the newspaper. This really put things into perspective for me, I'm feeling so lucky right now to have a place to go home to at the end of the day.

I realize that it's not in everyone's budget to donate but please do what you can to help. Money, prayers, wishful thinking... it all counts.

confused

It’s still tough to smile, but I’m not frowning. I’m not looking ahead but I’m also not looking back.  Nothing is clear, but it’s not really blurry either. I’m not ready to fight but I’m not ready to quit. Nothing is right, but nothing is wrong. 

But everything happens for a reason, right?
