wonderful wednesday picture post.

for my lack of pictures yesterday i will make up for it in this post, since i have no serious profound thoughts today. shocker, i know.

this was the five, before our last choir tour at saint mark umc. forever and ever friends.

me and staley this summer at celebration sunday. miss her and absolutely can not wait to see her this weekend and for our picture taking date. she is so talented, all her pics are great!

me and rooms on the first day of school. (the only day i actually showered before class, falling down on that goal) loves her!

my sister and me at our back to school photo shoot. cant put in words how much i miss her.

this are some random pics for a random post.

life as a student.

school has started back. what does this mean? adjustment and lots and lots of reading.

my spaghetti brain:
-i hate speaking in front of people.
-smoking is nasty.
-i make this (almost healthy) desert every night. (2 slighty melted sugar free fudge-sicles swirled around in ice cream form..add a little peanut butter and you are set) i think im in love.
-post grad, the movie..sucks. dont go see it.
-i found johnathan clay on i-tunses, i dig him.
-i have succeeded in some of my sophomore goals such as checking my email and i am now obsessed with it.
-im giving up buying clothes for the time being.
-mail makes my day.
-No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetthing the past and looking forward to what lis ahead. I press on to the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Philippians 3:13-14.
-i can't wait for Christmas.
-i hope everyone is having a great week!

rainy day reflections

as usual i have not posted in a while but i am going to use this post as a way to clear my head, and "jot down" random topics i have been doing some thinking on.

i went to see julie&julia today. or is it julia&julie..either way j&j was a great movie. it was uplifiting to see these women enjoy their talents. (also, a blog was a huge component of the movie, which obviously motivated me to post again).

speaking of movies..that might be my hobby. there's something unbeatable about going to a theater and abandoning yourself and becoming so engrossed in the character's lives..its relaxing, really.

after seeing the movie, i came home and spent the rainy afternoon painting a canvas. it was enjoyable. maybe i will post a picture of it when i am done (that is if i ever finish it). my mother was not pleased to see me start another project while in the middle of 2 unfinished ones. i see her point, but i was inspired.

i bought a book last night at barnes and noble called crazy love. im really looking forward to reading it and hoping i will gain and learn something from it.

last thought. i sometimes wish all the answers to life were accessible. (at least to the "big" questions, anyways..)

final thought, after the last thought.
"happiness is the sprititual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude."
-denis waitley.

i apologize for the lack of pictures but hopefully in the next post or 2 pictures will be up of my furniture/ room(s) in the apartment!!

i'm back!

as you can see in my last post i was motivated to update my blog more often and then..i went to camp for a week and have been busy since i got back.


CAMP. camp was the best week of my summer so far. i loved being at sumatanga as a counselor. i loved the people i met both older and the kids in my group! camp was such a nice distraction from the world. no phones, no twitter, no blogs, just a great feeling of contentment.

me and my girls at camp!

back to reality.. my furniture i am working on for my room has turned out horrible. i tried painting my desk with a green glaze (i am going for a bright look) and it looks terrible. i am now brainstorming solutions..

i leave for hilton head island in 4 full days! this is my favorite place on the planet, needless to say i am SO excited!

this is a picture from hhi taken last year at shelter cove, so so pretty!
i think this year we are trying kyaking and fishing, again i will say i am EXCITED!

last bit of good news.. i took my camera to wolf yesterday already coping with the fact i was going to need to buy a new lens, but the nice man at the store fixed it for FREE! he said eventually a new lens will be necessary..lets just hope it works until october and then i can make it a birthday list item!

hope everyone has a great weekend!

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.
