Fun memories and just fun to look back at the things that I have done this year. Check out your year and see if you have been doing the things you want to do and have been with the people you want to surround yourself with.
Summer Trip! Here is a rough outline of my summer adventure proposal. I will be working as I go through WOOOF and I am hoping to bunk up with friends living in certain destinations. Blogging along the way. There is potential for people to tag along during certain stretches, if that is the case. Let me know! I will also be attempting to teach summer school while down in New Mexico with my aunt and uncle. During my time in NM I will be flying back for a volleyball tournament and gathering in MN. Buffalo Lake Days! It is an annual tradition. My trip will begin mid June and I am assuming that I will make it back around August. That is the initial plan anyways. We shall see how it all plays out. Ideally, I would like to have around 4 grand invested into this trip as a cushion. Again, we will see how this all plays out and goes.
I have to say that one of my favorite things in life is the power behind people feeling compelled to carry out an act. Acts of service, reaching out in thanks, acknowledging someone for their skills, giving that positive review, paying it forward, generous tips, anything of that nature.

So I urge everyone to carry out these acts more often! There are compelling powers at work in the world and we should all act upon them when they arise! Give that compliment when it is due. ...
I can feel the tides of change coming to me. There are opportunities that are presenting themselves to me. Within this year alone I have flown on a plane and traveled more (in terms of trips/year) than any other time in my life. I have lived out of state for a summer, traveled to Chicago a handful of times, lived in Texas for 6 weeks, spent 9 days in Amsterdam (visiting Europe for the first time), traveled to Kansas City for 2 weeks, and I am currently gearing up to travel for an ENTIRE summer! There is also some potential for me to live in Washington for 3 weeks (while working), as well as, a chance at farming in Thailand for 2 weeks. There are so many opportunities in life and I want to take hold and grasp as many as I can while I am given this chance. With all of that being said, there is also a great strain in terms of finances for these trips.... while also paying a massive amount of bills at home. So in the back of my mind as I travel I find myself coming back to these worr...
