UP

One of my very favorite movies is Disney-Pixar's Up. I love pretty much everything about the whole movie. It's beautiful and will make you laugh and cry. If you haven't seen it, you should!

 

Labor Day Came and Went, and we Shed What was Left of our Summer Skin.

Welcome Fall

Fall is probably my favorite season. Lately we've had some wonderful days here, where the temperature is just right and the breeze feels perfect. Those days have been like fall previews and I'm starting to get excited :)
I even got my little "Welcome Fall" leaf and a pumpkin spice candle that makes my room smell amazing and very fall-like. I'm planning on buying even more pumpkin spice candles this weekend, because they just smell so good and they remind me of my favorite season. I can't wait for the leaves to change and for the weather to stay nice and quit being hot. I also can't wait for the Soybean festival and hayrides and hot chili on a cool night and warm jackets and riding in the car with the windows down and all the other amazing things that come with fall.

Random things found when cleaning my room

Old art projects

High School Diploma

State champion newspapers

Easy-Bake oven

Furby

Playstation

I never throw anything away.

Names

Am I the only one who tends to name things?
For example:
Our family car (a cobalt) is named Cobe

My car (an old mercury mystique) is named Ollie:

My new laptop is named Zeke (short for Ezekiel)

And my camera (a Nikon L100) is unofficially named Henry

There's really no point to this blog post.

One day without shoes!

I wrote awhile ago about how much I love TOMS shoes and today was One Day Without Shoes. One Day Without Shoes is a TOMS shoes event where you go all day (or part of the day or even a few minutes) without shoes to "experience a life without shoes first hand and to help spread awareness of the impact a simple pair of shoes can bring to a child's life."

I wasn't able to go all day without shoes (I had work in the morning) but I did go a few hours in the afternoon without shoes.

I'm glad I decided to do One Day Without Shoes, even if I didn't get to do it all day. 

I'm not the type of person who normally goes barefoot, I like to have something on my feet. Even when I'm just walking around the house I feel weird without having slippers on. So going barefoot was a little hard for me.

Today I learned that I am thankful that I have shoes. I am thankful that I don't have to walk around barefoot and face the dangers of getting some sort of disease from it. Sometimes it takes going without something to realize how important it is and how thankful you are that you have it.
