Wanderlust

*I wrote this about a week ago but it never went up due to computer problems. So, here you go :)

Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night because you realize that you are just one person on a planet full of billions of other people?

Right now, I am sitting in by bedroom at 1:30 AM having a "Not-Quite-Quarter-Life-Crisis" and it has kept me up for hours. 

There are so many good people on this earth and I think that we can forget how wonderful people can really be, especially with all that's happened regarding terrorism in the United States. My soulmate could be out there, somewhere, but I am too stuck to where I am to go out and find him. Adventures don't just happen, they are made. 

This is why I have decided to step a little bit outside of my comfort zone. On Thursday, I am leaving to hike up the tallest mountain in Utah, Kings Peak, and hopefully, this adventure will give me a sense of who I am and where I'm going. Hopefully it will satisfy my longing to wander for a little while.

What I've Been Up To

Hello Internet!!! As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting on this site as regularly as I would like to. These past few weeks have been totally INSANE!! On Saturday, my friend's sister threw him a surprise party and I was given the task of keeping him busy all day which took a lot of time and planning. He ended up being very surprised so in the end, all of my effort paid off. (If you are reading this Cory, Happy Birthday next Friday) I have also been trying to get ready for the school year to start. I start my college classes on Monday the 22nd of August which is a week from today. My high school classes don't start until Wednesday though which is super nice. My schedule is a bit insane this year because I am taking classes from Utah Valley University along with my High School classes. As for this next week, not much is going on. I'm hoping to get some new posts up soon so stay tuned. Love you all!! ~Julie

Gluten Free Fudgy Brownie Recipe

This is the BEST brownie recipe that I have ever tried. My non-gluten-free father always tells me that these are WAY better than poisonous, oops I mean glutenous, brownies. :) #celiacsdisease I adapted this recipe from a King Arthur Flour Recipe to use the ingredients that I most commonly have on hand.
