Pinterest Journal Project Post #2: Write about the last time you spoke to your best friend. What did you talk about?
This poses an interesting question, if I had to choose one of my three best friends, whom would I choose. There's Bryce, Adam, and Stephany. I've known Adam and Bryce for 8 years, and I've known Steph for almost 4 years. However, as close as I am with Bryce and Adam, I would have to say that Steph is my BFF, or in Grey's Anatomy terms, she's 'my person.' She is the Christina to my Meredith, except we don't sleep around or drink Tequila!
I met Steph in 2009 through a friend named Eva. Surprisingly, while Eva didn't remain a prominent part of our lives, we became incredibly close. Steph looks like Rachel McAdams, and her beauty is merely a reflection of how her true colors shine on the inside. I admire her in so many different ways.
First off, her personality is the cornerstone of my admiration. She and I are so alike, sometimes I think that she's the only person who really gets me (sorry B, but you're a guy, and there are some things you'll never understand!). She is ambitious, strong, and smart and my go-to-girl for all things that require answers that are beyond my understanding.
Second, her spirituality is what solidifies our bond. There have many many times where I've been in need of guidance and she has always been there for me. Her understanding of the gospel and her ability to be such a devoted friend have always made her an exceptional person in my eyes.
Third is her ability to motivate and encourage me. It isn't enough that she is so motivated herself, but that she has excess to share with me, amazing! Because of her, I became more aware and involved in my health and fitness. Maybe one day we will be able to do a marathon together.
Anyway, the last time I spoke to her was last week when we made plans to have dinner and discuss our future as roommates set to become reality next spring. We will also talk about dating, the food we plan on eating, and why I haven't been running. She truly is the best, and I can't wait for us to be roomies!

Pinterest Journal Project Post #1
So I found this great website on Pinterest that gives you 130 writing prompts.My coworker Kelsey suggested I write each one for the blog instead of journaling them. Hence, this series will now be known as the PinPro (Pinterest Project), and be updated twice a week.
Post #1: Robert Frost wrote a poem titled 'The Road Not Taken.' Name a road you've always wanted to travel. Where do you hope it takes you, and what might you see on the way?

I've always wanted to be an artist in New York.
Spending my days working in a posh gallery, and spending my nights painting.
When not painting, I'd be out at elite gallery events, seeing shows on Broadway,
and enjoying fancy dining establishments.
My Sunday mornings would be spent eating brunch in front of a large window overlooking some part of Manhattan, followed by a stroll through Central Park with my Shepherd mix dog named Winnie.
I would hope the road would take me to a life of excitement and sophistication, where my photo and name would be in magazines, and I'd been part of the artistically acclaimed community. Along the way I would know exactly who I am in my work.
