happy birthday momma dearest

Destin, FL 2007 i totes cropped it so it's grainy. totes sorry.

This is me and my momma the summer before I started college. Also the year before she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer. What? You didn't know my mom had breast cancer? Sometimes I can't always tell you about the things that make me saddest. BUT GUESS WHAT? She has beat it not once, but nearly twice as of last month. So you could say she's pretty much amazing. And today is her birthday. I love her so very much and I could write a novel of all the wonderful things she has accomplished and done for me and my family. But then we'd all get a little too emotional.

Instead, I'll just end this post with a little song from my pal Justin Bieber. You may have seen this video before on Katie's blog or wall, but it really never gets old. And it's completely appropriate for these circumstances.

So, here's to many more birthdays, Momma Llama Jomma Romma. (we use silly names in my family and it's fine)

seeyaloveyabye!

we were born to hum

it's 3 am and i cannot sleep. that's usually the case these days. my brain is always thinking of the millions of things i must get done but can't seem to get done before graduation, after graduation, before mexico, after mexico, before grad school, etc. etc. etc.

and i heard this lovely song today whilst listening to pandora for several hours at the biblioteca of HBL. don't worry, i was actually a bit productive. but mostly just keeping the company of my kailey jane johnson barfield.

and then i found this adorable home video montage to go along with it. so of course i had to share.

once in a while i complain to myself. nothing gets done. nothing's in place. i would rather hum.

i would rather hum.

graduation schmaduation

Oh, hi! I'm glad you stopped by. I was just compiling a list via pictures of a few things I want need for Mexico. And they can easily count as graduation gifts. Hokay?

Oh! And this would look awfully nice on my beautifully tanned neckline when I return to the States. Winky face.



Thanks! You're the best!
