What Are You Listening To These Days?

12/17/2014

I am a little late to the party in posting about this but, because it is coming to an end this Thursday, I felt the need to mention how amazing Serial has been. I heard about it back in September right before Alex and I went on our road trip to find our future home. Each week I tune in hoping that that things will start to unfold and make more sense and we will finally know what really happened. However, I don't think that will be the case and I'm not sure how I will feel come tomorrow. I will say one thing though, Serial has reminded me how much I love audiobooks/podcasts. It brings back memories of me as a kid in the car with my parents and three brothers listening to Hank the Cowdog solve crimes around the farm. Classic.

Turning into your Mother.

12/01/2014

If you would have told me back in high school or college that I was turning into my mother I would have cringed and said never. The older I get however the more I find myself aligning with my mother. Through mannerisms, the way I handle/act in sutuations and my overall look. I realize now that being like my mother isn't always an insult but at times can be a huge compliment.

My mother is someone I have come to depend on. Yes, she can be harsh and brutally truthful but she is also supportive and extremely encouraging. Her opinion means a great deal to me and I find myself calling to chat atleast once a day. Things, back then, I never thought I'd come to do. My mother is a constant example of what to follow/do and what not to do. No one is perfect but she has helped lay the foundation of my life and for that I am eternally grateful.
