Life

Cincinnati, OH 

     Lately, I've had this overwhelming feeling of joy and happiness that I can barely find the words to describe it. My life has changed so much in a little under a year, and I couldn't be more happy with how it's turning out. I've done more in the past 10 months, than most people do in their entire life... I've seen so much, met so many amazing people, and have had some crazy adventures... and loved every second of it. My life seriously couldn't be any better. 
    Like I said in my last post, I just returned from Mexico, and in a few hours I'll be jetting off to Hawaii for a couple days. Who can say that?! Honestly. I'm truly blessed to have the ability to be so free. Especially from having such a miserable adolescence, and feeling trapped for so long in a place I didn't belong. From being told everyday to get my head out of the clouds and be realistic. Basically just work till you're dead and live a mediocre life like the rest of us. That wasn't for me. Now, I'm truly living... and I have no desire to ever go back to mediocrity. 
      I would like to thank all of you that believed in me though. Through all my miserable times in Oklahoma... the ones that saw that I was meant to do more and be more. Could see the fire burning in my eyes, and the motivation in my heart. I appreciate your continuing support and love. Seriously, it means the world to me. I've seen all of your uplifting messages and remember them all throughout the years. They've kept me strong and empowered me to keep fighting for what I want out of life. So Thank you again. <3
    

    Wow, after rereading this, it sounds like I'm bragging... totally not my intentions. I'm just extremely happy and feel the need to document and share my bliss with everyone who cares enough to read about it. My life definitely hasn't been an easy one, but I never gave up on my passions, and it's paid off. Never give up on your dreams, you never know what tomorrow will bring you.

Back to Reality

Hey all, 
I just got back from Mexico yesterday, it was an awesome time, got some much needed rest and had a lot of fun as well. We stayed at a diving resort in Cozumel, so I got to snorkel and such. I also got to explore the city of Cozumel a bit, it's very pretty, but honestly a little boring and reserved. Unless you are scuba diving, I'd probably stay in a different city in Mexico. But it was a great time nonetheless. 
OH and I finally watched FROZEN on the flight down lol. I loved it. Idina Menzel has an amazing voice. 

Anyway here are a few photos from mexico:

This is the overview from our return flight, looking over Cancun, MX

Sunrise in Cancun, MX. On our last day in Mexico.

       It was a beautiful trip, weather was amazing, food was excellent, and good company. It is nice to be back in Denver though, I love this city. 

       Tonight I'll be flying to Dallas, TX. There isn't much to do in the area we stay at in Dallas, but there is a 24HourFitness right next to the hotel, so I'll be working out tonight. Honestly it's not much of a loss for me to not go out in Dallas... Living in Oklahoma, I've been to Dallas to party plenty, and it's kinda played out. 

Anyway, hopefully this is just one of many blogs to come, I want to start documenting my experiences,  my travels, and anything else I want to share. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care :)
