Laughter in Life

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." 

— Audrey Hepburn

Today was my normal, long and tiring day. I went to work at 11pm yesterday, got off at 715am this morning. I tried getting sleep, but it didn't work out too well. So here I sit with an hour before my next shift, tired, drained & just down right beat! 

**Since starting this blog I have managed to lean so far back in my chair that it fell backwards & spilled my coffee all over my workspace. The worst part? I'm not even joking. Well, onwards!**

I was actually quite productive, even through my zombie-like presence. My biggest accomplishment for the day is finishing full time volunteer applications & privacy policy for the website! I'm so glad it's done too! Hah. This organization is my passion, my baby (second to Ellie, of course) and I love working on it. I wish I could carry it on my back the whole way to the top. But I can't. No matter how strong I am. I've realized that it's OKAY to ask for help! (Woah, that's big for me.) So I came to the conclusion I will "hire" full time/long term volunteers. I think this will be amazing for me! I think I'll finally have some breathing room. :) Needless to say, I need it!

 Just about an hour ago, I was reminded of a quote I love. The one by Audrey Hepburn. It wraps me up in one saying. And if you know me, you'd probably agree. I don't have much else to say. Probably because I keep thinking that I've gotta start getting ready. So..I guess I should probably listen to myself and get off here...that is, unless someone else wants to go to work for me!? Well, any takers? ...I didn't think so. Worth a try ;)

Second blog down. I'm on a roll. I promise there will be more interesting ones to come. But if you could read through this jibber-jabber, than we've got a pretty good lil thing going! Good night, good morning or good afternoon, whichever. Also, you might be asking why it was called "Laughter in Life"..well because sometimes to get through the day, you just have to simply laugh at yourself. I do it all the time ;)

First of Many

My first entry. And like the title states, first of many. I don't know where to begin. Although, I'm assuming if you're reading this you pretty much know my general information. So how do I write this without sounding so "dating site"-ish? Uhm, Hi. I'm Sarah. I'm 23 living in Fresno, CA. I like long walks on the beach and the sound of my own voice. Bleh. No thank you. How about this? I keep typing, you keep reading & BAM! We've got a connection. Sounds good to me.

Well today was strange. Normal in most aspects but there was something that happened that only comes along after a certain event takes place. That event being the departure of my now fiancé. Here's what happened, I felt a sense of normalcy kick in. The kind I get after KP leaves. For those who don't know, he's in the Marine Corps currently stationed in Hawaii & at the moment he's training (meaning we don't talk much- Thank you PTA). Back to the point, I last saw him Jan 2nd and it's been less than a month but I had the feeling I've had before. I was USED TO him being gone yet again.

I have to admit, it's an oddly sad feeling to know that you are used to being away from someone you love & plan on marrying. Most couples are apart for a weekend and it's strange to them because they're not used to it. I am, on the other hand, used to being separated from him. Sad, no?

So here I sit, typing in the silence, eating my pot roast soup & thinking to myself  "how the heck did this happen?" 


Well, I don't know how much of a journey I took you on but it is what it is. Pardon my grammatical errors, don't hate me for "talking" to myself & enjoy whats to come. This is my life. & Let's be honest, it's nothing spectacular, but I'll try to dazzle it up for you. With that, I bid you adieu. :)
