Words of Wisdom...

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Henry David Thoreau

"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
T.E. Lawrence

Plumeria Tree Wonderfulness

I have this tree, a Plumeria tree, that my good friend Michael gave me upon my return from Korea on February 13th, 2009. Yes. Friday the 13th.

in case you don't know what a plumeria is... It's 1. my favorite flower, and 2. a tropical flower found in hawaii and thailand.

here is a photo of the flower itself:

Good things happen on that day. I'm telling you...

ANYWAY!. When I got the tree it was merely a really tall stick in a bucket. I didn't know if it was actually going to grow, or if it was just going to be a stick forever and eventually I would just assume it was dead.

Well this stick is over 7 feet tall. Its taller than Jeremy who is 6 foot 7 inches tall. It's... large.
Here are some photos of it over the last MONTH.
I baby this thing so much, because it is the only good thing in my life right now. THE ONLY THING. Which, sad to say, is not an exaggeration

(this may not LOOK like anything to you, but I assure you... there is something going on here. And by something going on, I mean that something is growing that will eventually lead to flowers. I AM SO EXCITED!!)
