facelift gone awry.

In my frenzy of clicking buttons I somehow screwed up the blog completely.
I know that it is hideous, hopefull it will not last for long!

a much over due WEDDING WEDNESDAY, and a face lift!

I am on such a blogging kick lately, its weird.

Sometimes I can go a whole month without posting, and other times my fingers are constantly itching to type!

Anyways, so here are some very swoon worthy wedding things.

THIS DRESS.

everything about it is perfect. everything.

...I think that I say that about every dress I like. Ooops.

(I'm not sure of the source, I just found it on my Tumblr dash, and it was sourced to Weheartit.)

So fun and creative!

Also, I spruced up the blog a little! I like it LOTS better than the previous one. You like?

just because this needs to be said...

I don't ever think that I will understand cyber bullying. I've noticed a lot of bloggers that I follow talking about really mean "annon" comments that they get, and I think that's really sad.

No one deserves to be told mean things, but especially not by someone who they probably don't even know, hiding under the anonymity of the internet.

I know that when you create a blog, facebook, tumblr, etc. you are knowingly putting yourself out there for everyone to see. Thats why it is so important to pick and choose which part of your lives are going to be personal, and what parts are okay to share. 

Thankfully, I have never experienced mean comments from anyone, on any site that I use.

I use my blog, to document memories, and things that I find inspiring, and sometimes just to vent. I realize that things that I say, are completely my opinion and some people that read them may disagree.

That is COMPLETELY okay! If everyone thought the same about everything, this world would be so boring!

Blogging is a wonderful outlet for me. I know that I don't have many followers, but I'm honestly okay with that.

All the bloggers that I follow are all beautiful and creative people, and even though I don't know them, it makes me sad whenever people are mean to them , and constantly put them down. It is completely rediculous.

This being said, I'm going to go out there and spread some positive blog-love! 

I hope that every single one of you have a good day!

the amazing power of a good read.

Reading books is something that I let slip away from me once I started college. I mean I've read TONS this past school year, but it was all text book stuff, and it was frenzied because I was trying to cram information into my head for tests and stuff.

I've been trying to make reading a big priority as of late.

It's amazing how much I enjoy time spent with just me and a good book.

I just finished Elixir by Hilary Duff. I know I know, it sounds way lame because it was written by the former Lizzie McGuire. But it was super good.

I had almost forgotten the way that a good book completely drags you into another world, where you forget about yourself, and your problems, and become the character that you are reading about.

I love that.

I'm confused about things this week. I find that I'm having a very difficult time reading people lately. I don't know what I can do to keep everything okay anymore, and I'm tired of feeling like I've always messed up.

(I'm in love with this shirt. but at $35 it is just a price that I cannot justify)

A lot of people think that my life is annoying. It used to bother me a lot, but lately I've learned that you just can't please everyone. The type of person that I am, is the kind that wants to please everyone all the time. I hate saying no to people, and I hate feeling as if I've upset someone. But sometimes you just need to say no, and people need to not get upset so easily. Thats all I have to say about that.

Today has been a great day. I finished my literary analysis, and I think it's going to get a decent grade. I'm hoping for a B, but obviously I'd be happy with an A. Sometimes it not the grade that matters, it if you put your full effort into it. I also got everything with my business group organized, and ready to turn in on friday. Group projects are one of lifes biggest annoyances, but I might as well get used to them since I'm going into business. Wooo Hooo.

(I really enjoy Taylor Swift. She has a way of writing everything that I am thinking.)

Work is really dead right now, and I have absolutely nothing to do. So I guess I'll go blog searching, or play a gazillion games of bubble shooter, or something equally productive.

tootles,

rings that make my heart sing

when it comes to engagement rings, lately I have been steering away from the tradition solitaire. I've decided that I like the more natural looking, less "bling bling" kinds of engagement rings.

I stumbled upon this etsy today, and I have fallen in love with almost every ring that I see. here are some of my favorites...

I just love them!

This next one is WAY less traditional, but it really makes my heart go pitter patter.

EEEEEEEEE. I LOVE IT. I know, I know, I'm way weird.

annnyways, those are just a few that I love. I'll prolly post more later.

byeeee.

summer goals 2011

(via sometimes sweet)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Goals really freak me out. But posting my goals for all the world to see (all 9 of you at least haha) gives me the drive to get them accomplished. Plus it kills the evil procrastinator inside of me :)

I've decided that my goals for this summer are going to be simple, but well worth accomplishing.

here they are...

goal number one

read AT LEAST 20 books. This one shouldn't be too hard for me, because I am a complete read-a-holic in anyways. But sadly, in the summer I get lazy with reading and just watch T.V. or something. Not.Good. This being said, I am going to complile a list of "summer reads" and I am going to read every single one. Even if I don't particulary like it that much. I feel like everyones voice should be heard whenever it comes to literature.

goal number two

read my bible/pray every day. I struggle with this a lot. I think it's becasue I don't have a consistent time that I do my bible studies in, so its hit or miss all the time. I want  to grow in Christ, and learn more about what the bible has to say.

goal number three

practice piano at least every other day. I am such a horrible practicer, it is not even funny!

goal number four

go for a walk/jog/run every other day. In the summer, I really have no excuse not to do this. The weather isn't too extreme, and there is a nice neighborhood right by my house that is perfect for walks and stuff. along with this I want to limit my soda intake to two a month, and not drink as much sweet tea! This could be hard, because sweet tea is always in the fridge in my house. But I shall try and overcome the temptation!

goal number five

put atleast $1000 into savings by the end of August.  This shouldn't be too hard, I just need to watch how I spend my money!

goal number six

take more pictures. This one will probably be the hardest for me. My camera is a Canon PowerShot that is about 5 years old. So obviously it doesn't take the best quality photos or anything. But I want to document the memories of this summer, so I'm going to conquer my fear of the camera!

So these are my goals. I'll come back with this at the end of August, and we'll see how I did!





mmmmhmmm.

I really need to finish my paper for english.
Like really really really bad.
Sadly, I have no motivation to do so. Oh well. As long as it is finished before Friday at 8:00 a.m. all is well in my world.

Last Thursday was my one year anniversary with Tyler. Wow. So crazy.
When I came home from school, Tyler came over and picked me up, and we went to Lighthouse Lanes to bowl a couple of games. I am such a terrible bowler, but it was totally fun, and I beat him at one game, so YAY ME!
After that, we drove out to DiArpinos which is this little Italian resturaunt out south. It is SO good. We were sitting at our table, and I had to go pee, so I went to the restroom. And when I came back, Tyler was standing there with his guitar so he could sing me a song, in front of everyone. I had told him a looong time ago, (I'm pretty sure it was right before we started dating) on one of our late night telephone conversations, that someday I wanted to be sung to in front of people. I didn't think that he would actually remember. But he did! He sang "Firefly" by Jimmy Needham. I love love love this song, and it really means a lot to me. Last February (2010) Tyler texted me to look up this song, and then told me that it reminded him of me. I was so ecstatic because at the time, I wasn't even sure if he like me or not! haha :) I still get butterflies everytime I hear it.
Then we went to the movies, and saw Big Mama. It was so stinkin hillarious I nearly peed my pants.
I can't believe that I have spent one whole year with him. It's so crazy to look back upon because time has just gone by so stinkin fast!
I can't wait for the rest of our lives together, it will be perfect :)

Sorry if this was annoying of cheesy or whatever, but hey, I didn't make you read it ;)
