June Iphone Snaps

In an effort to keep this blog more active, I've decided to create a reoccurring type of post featuring pictures from my iPhone every month. So without further ado, here are some pictures from June! Enjoy! :)

(From left to right)
-The teeny tiniest little grasshopper I ever did see!
-Another fun bug :) Such a lady!
-Mr. Bean's cute sleepy mug
-I wish I could ask Bean why he finds this position so comfortable
-My face & awesome cat shirt
-A tornado forming just above the Air Force base! Luckily, it went away and never touched down
-Another sleepy Bean shot, because why not
-Sean and I took a car ride, and I needed some reading material. Definitely recommend giving this a read. I loved it!
-Need I repeat myself?
-Our little kitten Kaiju. She enjoys catnip, terrorizing Bean, her cat tree, bugs and birds!
-Having a cuddle with the laptop, no big deal ;)
-Flash Flood came through and turned our backyard into a pool!
-I love his wrinkles!

Now that I know I'm going to starting doing these posts, I'll make sure to take more interesting pictures during July! I have an upcoming trip soon, and have a few treats planned for you guys. So stay tuned to this space, and my youtube channel --> https://www.youtube.com/user/enviedesire01.

A Little Morbid with A Splash of Love

I was just thinking about how my dad is turning 60 in a few months and it dawned on me that I have 20, 30 years left with my parents (I hope they live longer) and that one day I'll have to mourn them. 

These thoughts just make me wish I lived closer to them so that I could spend every day I possibly can with them, and tell them how much I love and appreciate them. Because without them, I would not be doing the things I am today. 20-30+ years isn't that much time, and I don't want to be the person who takes that time for granted. 

So mom & dad, thank you. thank you, thank you, thank you. I know that I haven't told either of you enough how much I love you, and am so happy to have you two as my parents. Without your encouragement, faith, and love, I would not be married to my best friend, attending university and chasing my dreams. I don't deserve the things you have given me, and all the patience I've received. Please know that it hasn't gone unnoticed, and I appreciate it way more then I ever have before. I love you <3

Our families are the only people that we get to keep forever, and are the only people we can truly call our own. They are the only people who will be there in the end to pick you up, and get you back on your feet again. Remember that they could leave any day and at any moment. So treat them with all the love and respect you posses.

Love Always,

S. Smith
