Gonna Dress You Up in My Love

Fashion Night Out 2012- September 6th

God, I love Darren so much. He is perfection. :D

Love is Friendship Set on Fire

And I'll remember the strength that you gave me...and I'll remember the way that you saved me

Kurt and Rachel at their finest

If You Get Lost, You Can Always Be Found

Pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear

 

I freaking love youtubers. They are some of the most talented people I have ever heard. They deserve so much more recognition then they are already getting. That's why I like to share the lovely youtubers that I find.

So for you viewing pleasure, I present Savannah Outen (who retweeted one of my tweets!), Corey Gray, and Jake Coco singing Phillip Phillips' lovely song "Home". These guys sound gorgeous together. I'm blown away. You should definetely check out their youtube pages, so just click on their names and you'll be set straight to Heaven. :D

Hold on to me as we go

As we roll down this unfamiliar road

And although this wave is stringing us along

Just know you're not alone

Cuz I'm gonna make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear

The trouble, it might drag you down

If you get lost you can always be found

Just know you're not alone

Cuz I'm gonna make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear

The trouble, it might drag you down

If you get lost you can always be found

Just know you're not alone

Cuz I'm gonna make this place your home

Team USA

There are tons of athletes that should be mentioned in this post, but since the Olympics aren't over yet and there is plenty more medals and victory dances to go around, I thought that I would mention my favorite event to watch: Swimming

So another Olympic swimming week has come and gone but Team USA has come out shining.

With the help of:  Phelps, Franklin, Schmidt, Lochte, Vollmer, Adrian, Grevers, Soni, Jones, Thoman, Berens, Handsen, Hardy, Beisel, McGill, Bootsma, Shanteau, Tarwater, Houchin, Anderson, Vreeland, Dwyer, Perdue, McLean, Ledecky, Donahue, Lezak, Feigen, Vanderkaay, Weir, Neal, Coughlin and Leverenz, Team USA brought home 30 Medals. 6 of them Bronze, 8 of them Silver and 16 of them were dripping in Gold.

 I am proud to be an American and I am very proud of these men and women.

This is Team USA

I hope to see many of you as part of Team USA in Rio 2016. See ya then. =)

The Most Decorated Olympian of All Time

It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life

Never again will we see Michael Phelps perform on the Olympic stage.

However, he has had one hell of a career.
18 Gold Medals,
2 Silver Medals
2 Bronze Medals
Totaling 22 Olympic Medals.
He's also 3-peated TWICE, in the 200m Individual Medley and the 100m Fly, making him the first male Olympian to win 3 consecutive events.

And to think that this all started when Michael met his long-time coach Bob Bowman when he was just 11 years old. 

He's not known as the most decorated Olympian of all time for nothing.

It will be weird not to see that signature pre-race shoulder slap. I will forever be a Phelps Phan. :D

After everything was said and done and Michael accepted his last Gold Medal of his career, FINA, Swimming's international governing body, gave him a trophy inscribed with the words: "Michael Phelps" and "The Greatest Olympian of All Time" 

"I can look back on my career and hang my suit up and say I've done everything that I've wanted to do. And that is the only thing that I wanted to be able to say when I retire" - Michael Phelps.  

I'll miss this beast of a man and his how much joy he has given me by competing in the Olympics. But I think I should follow Dr. Suess's words and "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." 

I'm so proud of you Michael and I wish you the best at whatever you set your mind to next.
