Road Trippin Music for Spring 2017

Road Trippin Music for Spring 2017

I am a huge fan of music...Anyone that knows me well would tell you that I sing every single song that comes on the radio and I have premium subscriptions to Spotify and Apple Music...some might say that's overdoing it, but those people just don't know good music! I love the satisfaction I get from finding a new song and sharing it with people. Going on road trips is definitely a time for my music obsession to shine through. Fabian and I just went on a pretty long road trip up to Page, AZ and I played A LOT of music!

{My taste is very eclectic}

P.S. I took a couple of music breaks to listen to some podcasts and by far one of my favorite podcasts is Unqualified (Anna Faris). It's mindless and entertaining, it's the perfect way to enjoy a roadtrip without contemplating life too hard like a lot of other podcasts tend to do.

When I think about a song that represents my life, the song "Work" by Rihanna is the only thing that pops into my head. It has been the craziest couple of months of my life! Three people from the company I work for all left within a month of each other...and we are a small company so three people leaving is kind of a big deal! Work has always been busy but with people leaving left and right, it has become a nut house in the office. I often times think "my life can't get any crazier, I can't handle any more on my plate" and then for some crazy reason, God piles more on top and I somehow handle it! That's not to say it's not without breakdowns, I had a pretty bad breakdown about a week ago and I just completely fell apart, I would even go as far as saying it was a minor panic attack. I was sleep deprived, not eating right, not drinking enough water and just not taking care of myself and I really think it was my body's way of telling me that I needed to take a chill pill! And besides all of the work stuff I am dealing with I also have outside relationships and school that I need to focus on, the balance is extremely hard. At the end of the day though, I am grateful for my job and all the support I get from my coworkers, friends and family, and I am thankful for God's grace and him giving me the capability to handle anything that comes my way.

I know, I know...It's March 13th and I am barely getting this post up, but I just can't wrap my head around how fast this year is going by already! But moving on to books...February was a big month for me reading wise, I completely got lost in the two main characters in the Lindsay Paige Bold as Love series. They were very very quick reads, all 5 of the books and the characters were sort of tragic but it was a good way to wind down at night and read about a couple of young lovers trying to figure out life together. I don't know if they are the types of books I would read again, but nevertheless, they brought me happiness and I couldn't wait to pick up my iPad whenever I had a spare moment to read.
I think the reason why I read all 5 books is because the first 2 books just get you hooked. Lindsay Paige did a great thing by showing young love from early teenage years, through their early 20's. It was a clever idea and who doesn't love a good love story!

Gooodddbyee February!

Has this been the longest month ever or is that just me? It has been one crazy month! February is my birthday month and I usually love it but this year, it seemed as though there was more stress and less fun than usual. My boss left the company I work for and that means a lot more work for myself and other co-workers, it's been a whirlwind and to be honest I have felt like a ghost these past couple of weeks...I mean I brought in over 20 hours of overtime in 2 weeks! Let's just say coffee has been my best friend lately. But besides the crazy shake up at work, my birthday was amazing, and spending time with family is always what I need to keep me from going insane. 

 We already ate half the cake before we remembered to take a pic! 

 Grandma turned 65! We took her to see the Motown Musical in LA at the Pantages Theater 

 Took these cuties on a hike...well we attempted to go on a hike, we weren't very prepared 

 My love and I on Valentine's Day (I got that pink sweater for $10 at Old Navy...sale racks rock! 

I am still working on those resolutions and my goal is to find more time in March to devote to making myself healthier! (no more late night bowls of cereal) 

I'm praying for more sleep, less work and more exercise. Here's to March and starting fresh with Spring on the way!
