Happy Monday! :)

Hello!! Just thought I'd update you guys! While this Monday started off kinda rough it got a lot better with the news that my UF application has been sent to the College of Education for a final decision! EEEEKKK! I'm getting sooo close to finding out if I got in! I'm all kinds of emotions right now; nervous, excited, scared, happy. I'm realllllllly hoping I get in cause goodness knows I do not wanna move away! Hopefully I will be able to stay in Gainesville and become a Florida Gator! I'll keep ya'll posted :)

This weekend I led a DNOW with high school girls and let me just tell ya, it was CRAZZYYYY! But it was so so so awesome! I loved every minute of it! I learned a lot and grew from it and also realized some things about myself. The girls also learned a lot and got a lot out of this weekend so it was good! But I am anxiously awaiting dinner so I'm gonna see if I can hurry it up a bit! Toodle-oo lovelies! :)

Busy busy bee!

Hello there! Just thought I'd take a few minutes from what has been a crazy day to say hey! Unfortunately my crazy day is not over yet. Seriously, it's after 12 in the AM and I'm still up doing laundry and cleaning and packing. What a great way to spend my evening....but I can't complain. I'm so excited for this weekend because I get to spend all weekend with youth doing a Disciple-Now weekend!! It's basically a youth retreat and college students come in and are leaders for the weekend. I've done 3 so far and they are a blast except I always come back exhausted but happy :)

There was going to be a lot more to this post. But it's 2 in the AM now and I'm STILLLLLL doing laundry and I'm STILLLL cleaning and I'm STILLL packing. Anddddd I have to be at work at 8 in the AM. I guess it's another 4 hours of sleep kinda night. That stinks. Greatly. You know another reason why it stinks greatly?? Cause I have a horrible cough that's caused by that yucky good for nothing pollen! It has me all stuffed up and coughing up a lung (it's ok, I mean I don't want a lung anyways...) Hopefully my stuffy nose and my yucky cough will not ruin my weekend. OH! I hear the bell for the dryer! Yayyyyy!!! Last load of laundry done!! Guess what that means?!?!? I get to go to bed! Oh happy day! (A little slap-happy/delirious. Can you tell? ;)) I hope you lovelies have a great weekend! :) Toodle-oo!

It's a miracle!

So the first week of school after spring break is officially over and guess what? I wasn't stressed. For a whole week! That means for 5 days or 120 hours or...ok I'm really not gonna try to figure out how many minutes but seriously! I wasn't stressed at all this week! I really thought I would be and I mean, let's face it, I do tend to get stressed out pretty easily. Maybe this whole not stressed thing will last until summer! Hang on, let me karma-cap that! Ok, done! Karma-cap is just like knocking on wood but you do it when there's no wood around (also because it's cooler :)) Anyways, I'm actually really excited for the rest of this semester. For the first time in a while, I haven't been thinking about where I'll be in the summer or the fall. I've been focusing on right now and what I need to do right now and what God is telling me right now. It's been helping me a lot! I never thought that focusing so much on the present would help so much! It's really encouraging and makes me feel more at peace about things. But I'm gonna head to bed but I just wanted to share that with you guys! Good night lovelies! :)

Hello chaos of school...

So Spring break is officially over because I'm doing homework and getting everything organized...ughhhh. It was an incredibly relaxing week though. Seriously, parking my bum at my best friend's house and spending all week with her was a great way to spend my spring break. We pretty much had wedding talk alllll week and looked at wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses and talked about hair and makeup. I can't wait till the wedding plan really starts kicking off; I'm so excited for my bestie!!! So apart from that, spring break was just incredibly relaxing and STRESS-FREEEEE!!! Which is exactly what I needed so I'm incredibly thankful for that. I'm all well-rested for this week and for the rest of the semester. Although, I can't wait till summer break! Haha! Well I'm off to go do more homework and be productive....more like watch a movie and eat!

Also, I have a new obsession. It's with a hair straightener. The best. hair. straightener. EVER! It's called a GHD straightener and it seriously makes the perfect curl. What's so awesome about it is that it doesn't damage your hair. It somehow adjusts its temperature to your hair type. It's awesome. The only downside is that it costs like almost 200 bucks. Any of you lovelies want to help me out in getting it??? Haha...here's a picture of the back of my head with the perfect curls and a picture of the straightener.

Perfect. Curls. Am I right or am I right?!

It's beautiful isn't it? If you wanna see the website, here it is! http://www.ghdhair.com/

Have a great rest of your Sunday lovelies! :)

Bye-Bye Spring Break... :(

So it's nearing the end of my spring break and it seriously breaks my heart. If you listen closely, I'm almost positive you will hear it breaking; it's kinda pitiful. Anyways, this is the one spring break that I've done nothing, like literally nothing. I didn't go anywhere, to the beach, cruise, lake (you get the picture). I sat my bum at my best friend Danielle's house for the week. So I got here Monday night and her dad took us out to B.J's for dinner! Yum! We got a pizza and then a King's Cake afterwards. If you don't know what a King Cake is, shame on you! Not really, cause I didn't even know what it was till like I was in high school. It's basically a delicious yummy cinnamon roll with mardi gras color sprinkles on it. I don't know the full story but it's yummy! So Tuesday we laid out by the pool for a few hours and talked for a loooongg time, it was great! Wednesday kinda sucked as I was a wee bit sickly, so we stayed inside all day. Today was also cruddy since the weather decided to be really overcast and blahhh. But we spent most of yesterday and today looking at wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses since my bestie is getting married soon! It was great fun! Hopefully tomorrow will have better weather since I am in desperate need of a tan! But now it's off to bed as I'm am exhuasted. Toodle-oo lovelies! :)

Helllloooo Spring Break!!

Ahhhhh!! It's here! Spring Break, that one glorious week during spring semester when I am able to forget about school and work and do nothing, I repeat, nothing except relax in the sun! :) It sounds so amazing right?!? I'm so excited, I for real can't even contain all my excitement! All next week I'm doing nothing except hanging out with my bestie Danielle. We made this perfect plan; spend all day by the pool, eat, listen to music, watch movies, sleep and then do it all over again the next day! Pure bliss? I think so!

Anyways, part of the reason I'm so excited for Spring Break is that it'll give me a really, really, reallllly nice vacay from all this stress I'm dealing with. So I'm super duper excited for this week. I'll have to update you lovelies as the week goes on! Right now it's time for a much needed good night's rest! Toodle-oo! :)

What are you lovelies doing for Spring Break?

My break up letter

Don't worry, this isn't a break up letter to you or my blog. This is a break up letter to stress and worry, the two pesky emotions that never seem to leave me alone. Lately I've been overwhelmed with all these decisions about school and work and summer plans and it's definitely taken its toll on me. I realized something today though, I am letting stress and worry rule my life. It's taking over my thoughts and even my actions. I'm a lot more crabbier and I get frustrated a lot more easily. It's really a downer when you think about it. I'm usually a very outgoing and bubbly person and now because of these two pesky emotions, I'm not. It disappoints me and, thankfully, that motivates me to get rid of those feelings! One of my fish daughters told me today that I need to break up with stress and worry. So while it seems really silly to type all this, I'm going to do it anyway :)

Stress, you've been in my life way too long and I'm done. You do nothing but make me all nervous and emotional and you cause me to have meltdowns. You make me have freak outs about all these decisions and you don't give me any peace. When people ask me how I am, my answer has been too frequently "stressed". So since I'm breaking up with you, my answer will finally (hopefully) be "Great!"

Worry, I don't even know what to say to you except good-bye!

I know that I'm still going to have my days when I'm stressed or worried or both but I also know that God has the control to take these emotions away. So I'm trusting in that fact and I'm putting all my faith in God that He'll help me through all my trials and that He'll help me to make the right decisions about school, work, and life. So stress and worry, I'm officially breaking up with you! Boy it feels good to say that (even though I feel completely ridiculous typing it!) Well I'm off to catch up on The Bachelor! Toodle-oo lovelies! :)
