"love"

I seriously can not wait for this.
P.s who doesn't love this commercial?

Take it All

The school year is in full swing, and this semester has already started rocky. After three years of being in a relationship with my love from high school, we have decided to part ways. My heart hurts, but not in a way of eating pints of ice cream and solely supporting the Kleenex company, but in a way where it feels conflicted with emotions of grief, anger, sadness, relief, and happiness.
I have a peace about the decision that I have made, and right now, this is exactly what I need.

I absolutely love Adele and she honestly writes the BEST songs. One that has been on my mind through this whole change in relationship status is Take it All. And of course I am listening to it as I write this post. I honestly feel that in another life, I would be a musician or a songwriter, but dreams are dreams. And right now this girl loves listening to Adele,and her true and inspiring words about breakups and heartaches. If you haven't read the lyrics or listened to the song, you should. No worries I put both on here for you to see and hear.

P.S. I would love to see her in concert. She is so funny!

                                     

Didn't I give it all? 
Tried my best 
 Gave you everything I had
  Everything and no less
 
Didn't I do it right? 
 Did I let you down?  
Maybe you got too used to Having me around
 
Still how can you walk away From all my tears? 
It's gonna be an empty road Without me right here
 
But go on and take it
  Take it all with you 
Don't look back
  At this crumbling fool
Just take it all 
With my love 
 Take it all  
With my love
 
Maybe I should leave 
To help you see  
Nothing is better than this 
And this is everything we need
 
So is it over?  
Is this really it?
  You're giving up so easily 
 I thought you loved me more than this
 
But go on, go on and take it 
 Take it all with you 
 Don't look back  
At this crumbling fool
 
Just take it all 
With my love 
Take it all 
With my love
 
I will change if I must
  Slow it down and bring it home, I will adjust  
Oh, if only, if only you knew  
Everything I do is for you
 
But go on,go on and take it 
 Take it all with you 
Don't look back 
 At this crumbling fool
 
Just take it
  Take it all with you 
 Don't look back
  At this crumbling fool
 
Just take it all  
With my love  
Take it all  
With my love 
Take it all With my love

I was definitely having a nautical moment today when i was getting dressed for work. AS much as I love summer, I am getting super excited about fall! I seriously love all of the layers, leaves, and weather that fall brings! BUT, this week can't go by too fast because my babies and sister leave early Sunday morning.  It has been great having them here for the past two weeks.
Happy Tuesday!

Xo,
Mel

A Month in review

The month of July flew by. I can not believe that it is already August, and that school is just right around the corner. I am going on several getaways this month and I cant wait. Here are some snapshots that I took this month.

4th of July

My parents dancing at our cousins wedding

I love my mom and dad!

Baby Jack is almost 2 months old, and in Texas!

I got a wedding invitation to one of my dear friend Alexis' wedding which  is later on this month in New Mexico

Well its August (almost)

So July is basically over, and I must say that I FAILED at my 30x30 challenge. I knew that it was going to be hard, I just did not realized that it would be that hard! So I am planning on doing it sometime during the winter, where I can layer more and it wont be so hot!

I did really good, for the first two weeks, but then it all went down hill from there. So I have some photos from the first 2 weeks. Please excuse my camera skills. It is hard to take pictures by yourself on a tripod with no clicker! Talk about running back and forth to set the camera, exhausting!

Today is baby Jacks 1 month birthday! How I miss him so much. I wish that I could hold him and give him kisses. Isn't he the cutest boy you have ever seen? I think so!

Just a couple of days old:)
