An Elephant Whisker | Start Living
http://dreamdiscovergrow.blogspot.com/2010/12/elephant-whisker.html
A few words on the safari:. We all know that I love the zoo more than most 5 year olds, so I could have died of excited delirium when Leonard popped the top to our van and drove us into the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Lions! Hungry, hungry Hippos! I can't say that I'm happy to have seen a dead elephant because it was disheartening, but I am thankful for such a unique experience. One Response so far. December 24, 2010. So jealous I cant stand it! And I miss you guys already. Come home soon, please! Internat...

My Cheeks Hurt | Start Living
http://dreamdiscovergrow.blogspot.com/2012/05/my-cheeks-hurt.html
The last time my cheeks felt like this, the pain meds from my wisdom tooth surgery were wearing off. Thing is, I can't stop smiling. Take Easter Sunday for example. No need for an alarm clock on this particular morning; after 40 long days without fast food, the thought of a McGriddle was all I needed to roll these lazy bones out of bed. I was on a mission! I'm hoping cute socks can somehow propel me up Doomsday Hill. But still. I'm lovin' it. The simple fact that he owns a moped. Like love. share.

Free As We'll Ever Be | Start Living
http://dreamdiscovergrow.blogspot.com/2011/09/free-as-well-ever-be.html
Free As We'll Ever Be. I am ashamed to say that I have lived in Washington my entire life, and until last weekend, had never been to the Gorge. I've probably driven by it 499 times and peed in the Columbia River right below at least 100 times if that counts for anything? Actually, that just makes it worse, so nevermind. When I found out the Zac Brown Band was performing at the Gorge in September I squealed. And then in recently-implusive-Nicole fashion, bought two tickets thee. Of course, the last song o...

Thankful | Start Living
http://dreamdiscovergrow.blogspot.com/2011/12/thankful.html
Another November has come and gone - far too quickly if you ask me – and I want to take a minute to reflect on all I'm thankful for. I tend to mistake life’s little luxuries as givens, but I know that I'm undeserving, and not everyone is afforded these same privileges. I am grateful for a zillion things, but because there are 30 days in November, here is an abbreviated list (of 30 things) that make my life richer one way or another no matter how silly or serious. 11 The snooze button. 26 America. We ...

Tonight is Game 7 of the Lakers Nuggets playoff series. You probably don't care because "the NBA doesn't interest you." Well, I do. I will always be a Seattle Supersonics fan and am more than ready for Seattle to have a team again. Come on, GP, make it happen! But I have to admit, in high school, when I wasn't cheering for Detlef Schrempf and Shawn Kemp, I was crushing on all the Lakers players. Eddie Jones? I'll take him, bad knee and all. And Kobe Bryant? Now you know. GO LAKERS! The simple fact that h...

The Best Birthday Ever | Start Living
http://dreamdiscovergrow.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-best-birthday-ever.html
The Best Birthday Ever. I'm not expecting any shipments. I wonder what tacky promo items someone is trying to sell me this time? A little perplexed and slightly annoyed, I make my way to the front, and my eyes instantly light up as I see an impressive bouquet and. Name on the mini-card that accompanies all flower arrangements. I open the card:. After work, I cruise downtown and treat myself to a set of fake lashes. Nothing makes me feel prettier, and I'm allowed to feel pretty on my birthday, right?

Best Friends Forever | Start Living
http://dreamdiscovergrow.blogspot.com/2010/05/best-friends-forever.html
It was the first day of third grade, and the new girl in the front of the class was tugging incessantly on her blonde ponytail. No doubt trying to impress a curious group of seven and eight year-olds with her perfect pony. Who knew the towhead would make such a lasting impression? Our reunion was nothing short of amazing. We spent nights on her back porch reminiscing, sharing the intricacies of our current lives, and sipping homemade cocktails. I was also fortunate enough to meet her neighbor's t...Anima...
