motivated!

i am so motivated to spruce up my blog and post more now, i now have a picture and a profile. wattccch outttt, im really stepping up my blogging game.. now for my attempt to put a picture in a post. these are some of the delicious fresh fruits/veggies my mom and i got at murphrees in cahaba heights. i love fruits, espeically in the summa time. yummy!

this is sweet talullah, our spoiled rotten pug/ chiuhauha we adopted 2 months ago, she melts my heart and has just learned how to give high fives. such a cutie.

well, i had another picture i uploaded but it was stubborn and would not move in the order i wanted, so i had to delete it because of my lack of patience.

more pics and posts to come! starting to love the blog world! happy weekend to everyone!

everything and then some

i have neglected the blog lately due to my new interest in twitter, and laziness to post. but here are some updates on my summer:

i go to head start to get my eyebrows waxed, she waxed it OFF. thats right, no left eyebrow. moral: dont go to headstart for facial waxing.

when i was leaving my babysitting job friday, the mom informed me she was no longer working, therefore i no longer have a summer job after this week, i have the worst luck with jobs.

although, i am jobless and eyebrowless i have a new opporotunity to be a kids counselor at camp sumatanga's music and arts week. im very nervous about it, but im crossing my fingers and hittin my kees to pray it will be a good, fun experience.

in all of my bad luck (i think the universe is against me) i am still enjoying summer, and trying to keep a positive attitude.

random things i have been up to in my spare time: getting things ready for the apartment (painting furniture, buying dishes, looking at accessories, etc), playing with talullah (happy 2 month anniversary to her today), babysitting..(a lot, until now..), saw the proposal (LOVED it, its a must see), relaxing and enjoying family and friends!

blessing: well, im thankful for my right eyebrow, just kidding.. thankful for my wonderful father! hope everyone had a great fathers day!

sweet summertime.

its summertime,and the sun is finally shinning! i love this relaxing season. i love being home with my parents and friends! also, our family adopted a dog a little over a month ago..talullah, and i love spending time with her cute self!

this past week i started my summer job, babysitting. i watch 2 girls from 8-5 on different days during the week. i enjoyed my first week and think this to be a much better job than previous sitting experiences.

last night i had a great time at the hillsong conert. their music and talent is incredible. today i took advantage of this beautiful weather and layed out at the pool and rode my bike this evening. i am typically scared or bikes because i have never been a pro rider, but i had a great time taking in the scenery of bluff park, (what a great neighborhood) and enjoying the weather.

tomorrow is church and hopefully something outdoors. i LOVE spending time OUTSIDE!

blessing of the post: my country, my state, my city, my home.

have not forgotten about you blog..

i got back this afternoon from cheaha state park. the five, best friends since middle school, finally ventured out on our own, for a weekend in the wilderness. despite the rain and my clumsy fall, the weekend was wonderful. the park was absolutely beautiful, and my appreciation for mother nature grew. i love being outside, thanks God for your beautiful creation!

sadly, much of my summer has been spent indoors due to the excessive rainfall. will we ever see the sun again?

this weekend i may go down to f dub (fort walton) to see my bestie, lynnlee. i miss her and cant wait till we will be living together in the fall.

last thought.. this weekend a popular conversation topic was the FUTURE. we all realized that time has flown by and will contiue to do so until we graduate college, and then what's in store? who knows. but i feel confident that we will all have better lives than we can plan out on our own right now.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

now off to watch runaway bride.. hope you have a lovely week!

so it takes a while to update..

it has taken a while to update this, but with encouragement from jamie myers i am going to right now. that and the fact that it will postpone my studying for my bio lab midterm tomorrow.

i just got back from the WELL. i love the WELL. the worship music is great, and the speaker tonight was great too. he spoke on the difference between walking in faith and walking in fear. i learned a lot, and again am just so thankful for all the campus ministries offered here at the good ole University.

the breaking news at the university is the SGA election. everyone and their mother (well mainly "Greeks", oh the title...) support one candidate (Oliver, his name has appeared no lie 50,000 times on my mini feed today), and appearently the other candidate Key is doing really well in the polls right now. The "Greeks" claim that she is anti Greek yaddda-yadda-yaddda, when really her goal is in UNIFY the campus. i support you KEY, get it girl. (nothing against the greeks, i used to be one..but come on EARN your support, dont just get it from the greek organizations that HAVE to back you up). enough on that issue..

friday i leave for atlanta with the parentals. im super excited we are going shopping and hopefully to the coke museum/ exhibit/ facroty haha what is it called? anyway im excited. i have already decided to watch high school musical 3 on the way down there, because i have been waiting anxiously to watch it ever since i bought it, there just hasnt been a good time.

school is stressful. but this semester is halfway over, i cant even believe it! yay for summer.

blessing of the post: the warm weather today, and that is coming up. i am so thankful God.

first post

post number one..

1. i have no idea how to do anything on here (it will take me a while)
2. i am doing this instead of writing a paper on pay discrimination
3. i just went down and bought a bag of peanut m&ms from the dorm vending machine, and in the morning i will complain about the freshman 15.
4. i got a parking ticket tonight. in the middle of a tornado, they are still out looking for "illegally parked cars"...so i will send in my fourth payment of $50 to the University.. Roll Tide.
5. i am really at peace right now.

i just made the deicision to include in every post a blessing. i take many days for granted, and i want to take time to appreciate the things that make life worthwhile.
my friends, old and new. sounds cliche, i know. but seriously without yall life would be boring and meaningless. plus, who would read this blog? jus kiddin, love you all.
