This manic monday is inspired by, "What was the best gift you have received?" These next few items may seem a little strange to others but are actually the best gifts I've revived. None of which were extremely expensive, but more so have a lot of sentimental value (and sentimental value is what i'm all about). So i am here to share with you the simple, kind gestures given to me.

Andy's doll Woody from Toy Story, this doll was given to me when I was a wee lad from an Aunt who is now deceased. As a child, I was in absolute love with Toy Story, so my Aunt (Alva) gave me this doll as well as signed my name on the shoe to indicate I was also the owner of Woody. It basically means a lot because 1. My aunt died and she was my fav aunt, like the lady was great OK. and 2. I've had it for a really long time.

To Kill a Mockingbird, as a little book worm, books are never a bad gift, BUT this book right here is probably my absolute fav (on a list of other absolute favorite books because who really has one book that is their fav???) anyway, this book was given to me by my darling cousin. This just means a lot because I really just love this novel and the message within it but also this book has given me quality time spent with great discussion with Genn + two of my fav English teachers.

and last but surely not least, the most cherished gift I probably own. My Bible. This is the best story too, okay ready. In 2013 during summer camp my friends and I (Noah, Emily, Robert, Zech, Zach Angela, and some others) were in Lake Arrowhead inside one of their book stores and I was browsing and stumbled upon this Bible (and mind you I was looking for a new one because yanno my old one was jacked up) It fit the description that I was exactly looking for BUT, I DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. So disappointed, I walked away and tried to pretended I didn't just see the most perfect bible ever. Long story short my little Havasu Crew squabbled up their money together for me and bought it! Baffled and surprised, i cried (of course cause i'm always crying and sappy and emotional) following the purchase i asked them to sign it. I honestly treasure this and the story that comes along with it.

once again, if you've made it this far down to the end, thank you

Today's post is inspired by friends. I am learning the significance of friendship, I do believe that there are different levels of friendship. The concept of friendship, I am also learning, is a different interpretation from anothers perspective. Overall, we find companionship to fill the void of loneliness, and maybe to make us laugh a little. All these cheesy sayings are leading up to something, I promise.
I am trying this new thing this year where I cherish the moments I am in, live in the current second, appreciate the smallest gestures, and give over flowing love.(you can say this is my new years resolution, yes, but more so a "life goal") I am a firm believer that their is "good" in every person, but a "good" friend(s) is rare. So with all this said, this blog post is dedicated to my friends, for being true diamonds and not cubic zirconias!

Thank you for all the times you've made me laugh, and telling me I was wrong when i really just wanted to be right.

my boys,i am extremely thankful + blessed to have them in my life, they make me laugh, OH MAN do they make me laugh. Their kind hearts are all i can ask for.

{Havasu Crew}, These people have known me for about 5 years. They keep me rooted and grounded as well as accountable. Their love(s) are like an ocean. Now that i have moved i have learned the value of their friendship and seeing them when i can is greater than a pleasure.

Love

My best(est) gal pal, little miss Emily. This is probably the greatest person on the planet, actually i'm pretty sure of it. I can honestly go on forever about how loving, compassionate, pure, FUNNY, open-minded, and all of the rest of the worlds good adjectives to describe a person are about her. This girl has been the truest friend and I am honestly not good enough to be her friend, she keeps me level and I can rely on her for anything, I know she wont steer me the wrong way, and as I am typing this tears are forming because I know people this sweet don't exist and i am not sure how I, MYSELF, managed to stumble upon this rarest form of a person.
