The Adventures of a Uniphant

So with the time since my last post I've slowly been finding out more about myself. Something I very recently realized about my tattoo, I feel more attached to it when I'm stressed out. Maybe like when I was younger I'm relying on it to protect me from the monsters. My monsters are very different now than just a noise I hear coming from the dark at night, of course. Some believe that monsters don't exist as a way to not fear them in that form, but truth is they're still there, we just don't see them the same way. Our monsters are our fears. Going to a new school and make new friends. Trying to get into the college of your dreams to pursue the career you want. Asking out that special someone. The previous alone isn't scary really, it's the fear of failing. Many of us have a fear of the unknown as well. What if no one wants to talk to me? What if I don't pass? What if they don't like me? What if I get hurt? What if people think I look funny? Wha...

Sorry for being AWOL again my uniphants! Where I've been: Camps/Vacations/Conferences. There. Now that we are all caught up, I previously mentioned summer goals. Might I just say, I have done really well with all of them. Something I didn't expect was how many new things I have tried.  I've gone down roads I have never even thought about. And have gotten lost a couple times.  I've tried new fruit. Don't ask me what fruit because I honestly have no idea what it was.  I have been friend zoned. I don't know you people do it.  I was a youth leader for the last time at my church's Girl's Camp. Man, was I nostalgic.  I am the tannest I've been in years. Yes, I do wear sunscreen (and you should too).  I have also made a few new friends. Who knew this summer would bring so much for me this year? Have you tried anything new this summer? Let me know by leaving me a comment. ;)

With summer comes new things. Thus new shoes to work out in. These are a pair of Asics. I love how comfortable they are.  Aren't they colourful? Now for the tattoo. I would never get a real one, but I was bored and thought it'd be cute. Because this is the adventures of a uniphant, I decided an elephant would be best. Isn't is cute? Its already fading since I did it on Friday. I have to take it off soon anyway.  Happy summer everyone!

You know what that means. Fun in the sun and summer jams! You know when you turn on your Today's Hits radio station, that there will be at least 3 catchy songs. They might not even be new song, but they are still there, on the radio and stuck in your head, and by the end of the summer you love it. Sometimes you just have that go to summer playlist (or go old school and its a summer mix tape) With that said, here are some songs that are on my summer playlist. Chloe by Emblem 3 Want You Back by Cher Lloyd Wings by Little Mix Top of the World by Imagine Dragons Popular Song by MIKA ft. Ariana Grande Open Road by Roo Panes I Love it by Icona Pop With Ur Love by Cher Lloyd Sweet Sweet Melody by Katie Sky Icing by Charity Vance Middle of the Bed by Lucy Rose Don't forget to share your favorite summer songs!

Along with summer comes new goals- think of it like New Years. My goals for this summer are: 1. Get fit and treat my body better Run nearly every day Cross Fit Eat healthy (aka not eating dairy, of which I am allergic to) 2.Go outside more Go enjoy the fresh air and soak up some of the Vitamin D and Calcium Go for a hike 3.Get out and do more! I want to get out and see more of my own town and neighboring towns aswell Go listen to live music So we all have goals this summer. What are some of your goals and what are you doing to follow through with them? Comment Below! If you don't have a goal, maybe pick one and enjoy your summer!

The sun arrived just in time for SUMMER!!! It was raining last week. So, my uniphants, here is a little update on my life. I graduated seminary on sunday. I think that was the most I've heard people tell me, "Wow, I didn't know you're that old!" Thanks guys. This week, I have a brother moving away and going on tour. Another brother and his wife just moved in for the summer. It's a little weird for me, having another girl in the house. Not quite used to it considering I grew up with all brothers.
