Some other random facts about Dallin;

Dallin fell out of tree when he was 7, suffering a minor (or major, I can't exactly remember) head injury.

Dallin almost cried once while watching August Rush, the closest I have ever been to seeing tears

Dallin is in a band called the Pre-Teens, they have a lot of fun and going to their shows is like going to another country. I love it!

Dallin loves to skateboard, and spends many Sunday afternoons watching skateboarding videos

Dallin has been to Europe 3 times, maybe more. I can't remember, all I know is that I am jealous.

One of Dallin's biggest goals in life is to be black.

Dallin hates his birthday, because he is weird.

Happy Birthday to my most favorite guy in the world! I love him.

Every new years I begin to rethink my overuse of social media. Total I probably spend about 1-2 hours a day browsing twitter, facebook, instagram (my personal favorite), vine, snapchat, pinterest and various blogs. I enjoy these mediums to stay connected with friends and family, but what I find myself doing more than "staying connected" is comparing myself to everyone else.

The quote above is exactly how I feel about my social media usage. A popular trend is to post "braggies" (photos bragging about what your doing, the surprise gift your boyfriend got you... etc. and YES, i do it too) Man, the braggies get me down sometimes. "I want that purse, I want to be graduated, I want, I want.. I WANT!" or "What the junk? How are they affording a trip to New York City when they are in the same situation as Dallin and I?" (Yes, the last question was directed towards Griff and Kels... We were really jealous! haha)

Soooo my next new years resolution is to down my social media usage to about 4 hours a week... woah!

and to STOP IT! Stop comparing myself with everyone. I have a absolutely wonderful life and I am thankful for every day of it.

I am enough.
