Three Coins In The Fountain

First, I'd like to thank my dad for igniting my love of Frank Sinatra. Ol' Blue Eyes can brighten any moment.

Sometimes I wish I was still unemployed, because my goal while I was unemployed was to do a little soul searching. Well, I didn't really get too far on that! It's so weird because I'm graduated from college, I've had a grown-up job, I'm married, and I still feel like I'm growing up and learning about myself. But, I am only 23...so that's okay, right?

It's interesting how one can accomplish the aforementioned things, but still feel like a little girl in the big world. I wonder, how could I commit myself completely to one man, when I'm still trying to figure out who I am? Love is good and love is complex. I am grateful that I can love and grow simultaneously. =)

I have some major life experiences ahead of me. I've been so worried about what my reaction will be, that I'm kind of freezing up. My dear Josh gave me some smart advice, and from that, this is what I have learned:

LIVE YOUR LIFE!

If you're going to learn anything, you have to live. You have to give yourself the chance to be yourself. Experience is the proving ground... so I'm just going to let myself EXPERIENCE and FEEL. And see what happens!

Here's a fabulous piece of advice that I've carried with me: In high school, my friend and I went to see a play that our friends were in-- "The Laramie Project." I don't know if you know the story of Matthew Shepard, but that is what this play is all about. It was an amazing show; my friends weren't my friends, they were the characters. Both my friend and I were pretty emotional after it, but a lot of the people around us were not so much. We felt kind of weird, and I think we even cried about the play again in the car when her mom was driving us home. She turned around and she said to us, "Don't ever be embarrased to show that something touched you." And I was like, "YEAH!" And I've tried to live that ever since.

So, there's my to do list. =)

Song Recommendation:

"The Only Promise That Remains" Reba McEntire feat. Justin Timberlake

P.S. The highlight of the Taylor Swift concert was her song "You're Not Sorry" which she smooshed wth JT's "What Goes Around." It was bangin'!
