guffaw

There is nothing better than having a best friend.
who you can be completely crazy with, have inside jokes that nobody understands, freely express your love for all things Jonas, and be completelycomfortable in your own skin.
Brianna Cline is my bestest ever friend! :)
she loves pyrex and books just as much as I do!

interview.

I'm about to go in for my first ever interview.
I am so so so so nervous.
I wish I had a four leaf clover with me, even though they don't work, I still think it would make me feel better.

There. Thats a bit better, cause technically it will be going into the interview with me since I'm carrying my laptop with me.
I have no idea what they are going to ask, and I'm afraid than many "ummms" and "uhhhs" and "likes" are going to emit from my mouth, along with many many finger runs through my bangs.
those are my nervous habits.
Also what if they ask me something about the economy or the political make up of china or what good sales are going on a bath and body works right now? I don't know the answers to any of those questions!
EEEEEeeeeeKKKKKKkkkkk!
okay. I'm just going to take a deeeeeeeep breath and everything will be okay. Right?...right.

this thursday I heart...


beds!
beds are something that I am just loving lately, and looking at pictures of them is really making me want to re-do my room.
All images via weheartit.
I haven't really figured out how to source stuff yet...oops.
I love the clouds with the blue walls.

how magical is this? I think I might do this to my bed :)

I'm really like monochromatic color schemes as of late. And the husband and wife cameos above the bed are just adorable.

I really like the curtian and the shelves here and the colors are lovely.

this one is my absolute favorite. I could just see me and my someday husband cuddling all day in a bed like this.

how cute is this? If I ever homeschool, this is exactly how I would go about it.

so college...
I'm not too fond of it yet, but I think that maybe it's because I don't really know a single soul.
It's amazing how small you can feel when surrounded completely by strangers.
Maybe as the semester goes on I'll make some friends, maybe I won't.
hmmmm... I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens :)
So far, I haven't procrastinated. yay.

stuff on a sunday

I have a folder of pictures on my computer that I have titled spotted and hearted. I figure since its such a nice blue sky green grass kind of day, its the perfect time to break out some of the lovliness that I have stored away :)

I don't think that I will ever be able to stress my love for owls. They are just too cute! These in particular look very wise and grandfatherly.

this is just too cute. Just looking at it puts me in a good mood. I'm already ready to skip winter and go straight into spring. If I lived in a world with only spring summer and fall I would be content.

college starts tomorrow. Eeep! so weird. OTC here i come :)

4 Simple Goals :)


I read blogs A LOT. Recently I was inspired on one of my absolute favorites (A Beautiful Mess) to create a list of four simple goals that I would like to complete before this school year is done.
I've toyed around a lot with the idea of creating an 18 before 19 list of goals, but having 19 things that I HAVE to do before May 22 just seemed completely overwhelming, and I know that I would put myself down if I didn't get them accomplished.
So that being said, I think that four sounds like a good number :)

Goal Number One
Making the best grades that I can possibly make.
I start my first year of college tomorrow, and I don't want to make straight A's a goal because I don't know if I will be capable of such a thing. If I get a B in a class I will be okay with it, but only if a B is the best that I can earn.

Goal Number Two
Make reading my bible and praying a priority.
Usually I find it somewhat difficult to find time to read my bible and pray, and that is really lame of me. Reading the bible in the morning isn't my thing because I am NOT a morning person AT ALL. And reading at night isn't my thing either, because I get tired and put it off. So I think that the perfect solution to this is to make sureto read my bible when I get home from school everyday. I won't get online or start my homework until I have read my bible and prayed :)

Goal Number Three
Make time for my friends and my boyfriend
Thats pretty much self explanatory. I don't want to get so caught up with my school work that I lose the ones that mean the most to me.

Goal Number 4
Make at least one thing a week. I really love to make stuff and I want to get into the habit of making things instead of watching TV or messing around on facebook. I think it will be good for me :)

sometimes I complain...



This is my face. My expression serves as a wonderful discription of my feelings about the camping trip that I endured this weekend. It was HOT HOT HOT. And I don't mean like, I felt a bit warm, I mean like HOT. I was sweating that whole time, which was totally gross and I hate sweating so bad! It was SO hot that I actually got into the lake. I HATE lakes. This is mostly due to the fact that I have an intense fear of fish and just being in deep water in general. I think its because I can't see anything, and I am seriously afraid that some giant, scaly, man eating thing is going to pull me down underwater and swallow me in one gulp. I am completely serious. I really don't like the wilderness. It is torture.

Today was a goodish day I guess, I started off the day babysitting at 8 a.m. So far, my entire summer has consisted of me waking up at an ungodly hour to watch other peoples extremely bratty and extremely annying children. I mean I like kids but these four are seriously the devil. Its all I can do to be patient with them. But good news! Tomorrow is my last day watching these little bundles of joy!! Now I can finally have a life...for three days out of the one hundred and five that is glorious summer vacation.

The end of my day was really good though, because I went to my wonderful boyfriend Tylers house and that made my stinky morning all better, because seriously he is the sweetest guy ever and I love him very much!

okay, well thats about all I've got.



I like purple lately. :)

hello friday

Hello :)
So I thought I would start a new blog since my old one with filled with a bunch of senseless rambling from the drama filled days of high school. I don't really have a specific genre that I'm going with as of now. I'll just post whatever I feel like. I'm going camping this afternoon with my youth group, and I have never considered myself an outdoorswomen and living in the town with the largest BassPro in the world and some of the prettiest lakes thirty minutes away,it is considered somewhat a sin to not be tickled pink at the prospect of a weekend spent with zero air conditioning and no showers. So here are some pictures that I found (all from we heart it) to make me a little more excited about spending the weekend in the heat :)






this one is absolutely magical. I think if I could make a campground look like this I might actually like the great outdoors.
