"Follow your passion. Stay true to yourself. never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that."- Ellen DeGeneres, Tulane Commencement Speech 2009
Ah, I can't believe it's February already! I mean my 24th birthday is in 12 days. Just another step closer to 30, but I'm slowly not getting scared of that milestone, even though the book I'm reading (Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin) which constantly brings this up. Side note: my 30th birthday will be on a Tuesday.
Anywho, I kind of failed my New Year's Resolutions in January, except for reading my Bible and no soda, but I did vow that February 1st would be when I get everything in place to succeed the rest of the year. With that being said candy is, again, officially out of my diet and I'm going to start the Couch 2 5K with the roomies this weekend. The goal to help get me to complete this exercise regimen is The Color Run taking place in Orlando in Dec. Right now, Samantha and I are the only two of the four who is going to do actually participate in the run, but at least Mallory and David have agreed to train with us.
I'm also going to be participating in February's Photo A Day Challenge, with many thanks to my dear friend Rachel and her sister Jessica for the influence. This is what I have so far:
Day 1: Your View Today
Day 2: Words
Day 3: Hands
Day 4: A Stranger
Day 5: 10AM
Day 6: Dinner
Day 7: Buttons
I'm hoping to be more artistic with the rest of the month, but we'll see how it goes.
I want to end today's post with a great new musical find, thanks mainly to Glee and Pandora. It's a somewhat new indie band called fun. and I'm hoping that it's not just another band Mallory ridicules me for listening to (she just doesn't understand how awesome different tastes in music can be, lol). Anyway, here is my current musical obsession:
