Today I got to see one of my dearest friends. Eric and I have been friends since our first day of college, and even though we live three hours apart we somehow still manage time for each other, be it on the phone, via email, or in person. Every time we meet its like there's been no time apart, and that's the best part of all :)

Today, I didn't get out of bed until 3pm. While I have become more of a morning person and I was awake at 7:45am, it was nice to have the ability to do...nothing. And it was glorious :)

I mean, why limit yourself to one post per day? If I have more positivity to spread, why not?

Today, I remembered how much I actually like to wear high heels. And these were HIGH heels too! I like how I feel when I wear them!

Today was the first day in over a week that it was above 45°. Even though the skies were gray and 60° is still pretty chilly, I celebrated the warmth by taking a nice long walk around the surrounding neighborhood. I want to try and be gracious for the warmth because winter will be back before we know it!

Today, I realized that I have too much negativity in my life. In hopes to balance that out, I want to start celebrating the small things again. Thankfully, a little positivity goes a long way :)

Today, I had a delightfully light conversation with my boyfriend right when I woke up. He makes me smile on a daily basis, and makes me insanely happy :)

Today, with a new sense of motivation and dedication, I felt extremely accomplished and thoroughly pampered. We've been getting a lot of things done around the house, and it's nice to see the progress! Then in the midst of it all, Rachel decides to start brushing my hair. I don't remember the last time someone else brushed my hair but it was fantastic :) Then mom and I went to go get pedicures! It was a great day :)

Today, I had some crazy good reflections on my life and where I am now and where I want to be. Sometimes you just need to take that extra minute and reassess the situation. And I feel that doing so has made a lot of stress, some of which I'm not sure I knew existed, go away :)

Today, I had some of the most enchanting conversation I have had in a long time. It's hard to find someone who can stimulate me on an intellectual level, and I most certainly appreciated that I was able to find that person :)

Today, I realized how much I really needed this blog. I made it one full month without blogging and truly I failed, miserably. Constantly I felt the need to blog, but didn't because I had been told there were better uses of my time. Today I realize that was not true. Although the minutes that it takes to actually blog could be used doing something else, possibly something more contributing to society, but the short amount of time it takes me to blog gives me inner peace and stability, both which I need to be a productive and positive member in society. So I'm back with the daily blogs, and hopefully I'm back for good :)

Today, the day did not start out very well. I was in a bad mood up until right before my first class started. After that, the day was exponentially better! Today I am celebrating not giving up and succumbing to the mindset that it has to be a bad day. Things can turn around if you let them! :)

Today, I woke up at freakin' god-awful early to get to Perry-Meridian High School on time (I'm pretty sure it'll take a miracle for me to actually enjoy getting up early). I found out I'm going to be teaching there this next year! I got to meet the teacher and some of the students I'll have, and I got explained a lot of how things work around the school. It's crazy cool information and I'm definitely excited to be there starting in August!

This is too beautiful not to celebrate. This story. Zach's story. I don't remember the last time something touched me this much. Today, between my classes, I watched this video. When I saw that he had passed *yesterday*...I nearly lost it right then and there. I had never heard of the guy before watching this, and this video made me feel like I had known him for years. Please PLEASE take the time to watch it...I promise you won't regret it.

Today was a fantastic do nothing day! No work or responsibilities to do today, so I spent the majority of my day animating a "hip hopera" with Dustin. It's crazy, I spent about six hours working on two minutes of animation. It was CRAZY!!!! This is why I could never be a full time animator...that's too much work for too little product! But I really do enjoy it, so for recreation I'm fine with spending the time when I have it. I'm just glad Dustin appreciates the work :P

Today, Rachel and I decided to trade name tags at work. Although I didn't face any confrontations with it, I was walking to the concession stand and I heard one of our managers exclaim "but you're not Emma!" I had a huge grin when I walked out, it was fantastic! :)

May 18th, 2013

Today, I got to see my (nonbiological) big sister Ashley! Although I feel like I've seen her more recently than a year ago, I was definitely glad to be able to catch up with her! So much has happened since we last met up...it's always great seeing her! <3

Today, I learned how to cool down an overheated dog. It's something that I hope I never desperately need, but it definitely came in use when Abby was panting so hard she was shaking. Sometimes it's just...good to know :)

May 16th, 2013

Today, I bonded very well with one of my classmates. He's actually in both of my classes, an education major, and student teaching in the fall in the same corporation I'm in! We were talking about all sorts of things...it was definitely nice to find something in common with someone I'll be spending so much time with this summer!

Today was an awesome day! After class, I went to work because we had staff cook out before a staff meeting before I had to work tonight. It was so much fun to see everyone out of uniform and wanting to just socialize. We have such a great community established at work and I love being able to be a part of it :)

May 14th, 2013

Today, we actually were able to have a successful family dinner! It so rarely happens with all of our work schedules the way they are, but it was definitely nice that it happened tonight!

May 13th, 2013

Today, I got to train people at work! It was my first training shift in almost a year, and it's one of my favorite things to do! Well it was usher trainer, but a slow day at the theater, so we couldn't just throw them into a random theater and actually get a good gauge at what it's like to actually clean a theater. My solution? The projectionist and myself take some old popcorn, big trash, and booster seats, and make one of the theaters "realistically dirty". It was so much fun! And now I feel better about these new hires actually knowing how to clean a theater :)
