To the Lake!

Well. It's about time I got a vacation, don't you think?
Im off to a family reunion up in Bear Lake.

Although I would never admit to this in a public setting, I actually enjoy being outdoors and camping and such. It's so much easier. And I get to be with my Dad's side of the family while up at this beautiful lake. Nothing makes me laugh harder than when my Dad and his brothers talk. It starts out with friendly conversation, then they turn into teenage brothers again. I could sit and listen to them rag on each other and tell stories for hours. I usually do.

I think it'll be good to get away from it all for a few days. Maybe get sunburned. Run on a dirt trail in the mornings (if I have the dedication to exercise. Which is 50/50 right now. No guarantees. :) ) , and just being with family. I don't know if they'll have a computer up there, but even if they do I doubt I'll have any exciting news. However, my Aunt Jen keeps a very diligent blog. Follow her, yes? She has such a brilliant sense of humor. I love reading her posts.

Alright, and with that I say.. to the lake!

"Promise yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you."

-Christian D. Larson.

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” - Marilyn Monroe
