Leavin on a jet plane...

In just over 24 hours I'll be headed to southern California. I'm so ready to get out of Texas. I love this state, but currently it's a bit suffocating.

In 10 weeks I will be walking across the platform at the Ferrell Center and receiving my undergraduate degree in journalism. Then look out world, this writer and photographer plans to make her mark. Not that I have any idea as to what that mark will be... but time shall tell.

But despite the fact that graduation is still two months away (such a short time!!), I am benefiting early with my trip to Cali. My sister got to go to New York, and while I adore the City, I chose a warmer climate that I have yet to experience. And experience it I will.. Flying in to San Francisco and driving the PCH to San Diego. I feel so blessed and excited! And very impatient..

So that's a very quick update. Short and sweet.

Here's my favorite song for the week:
Dave Barnes
The L.A. Song (cd: brother, bring the sun)
.....................
She drives down on Sunset
With the windows down
Just so she can let it in
She knows he's far-gone now
But there still are pieces
Pieces there still left of him

He uses love like a bullet from a gun
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him

There is a picture sitting by her bed
Her reflection in his face
She has been meaning, meaning to move it
But it's always been his place

He uses love like a bullet from a gun
She's careful like a surgeon
Everywhere he goes they all know to run
But she can't help but love him
Love him

City of angels, everyone is sleeping
4 am and she's awake
She is moving, moving that picture
Someone will fill that space

Someone will fill that space
