My New Phone

There is a story attached to this which I will be blogging about soon but for now, say hello to my new phone, Atticus. He is an iPhone 4. 

I'm in love. :)

Avocado Turkey Wrap

1/4 avocado
1 tortilla
5-6 slices of turkey deli meat
1 laughing cow light swiss wedge (You can use cream cheese too-it's up to you!)


Spread cheese and avocado on tortilla and then place sliced turkey. Roll and heat on skillet!

Easy as 1,2,3!

This Past Sunday...

I'm obsessed with Pinterest. Who the heck isn't?! Anyway, I found some recipies that looked super yummy and because it's cold outside (and I need to cook more) I took the opportunity to make some homemade yummies. Here they are:

Chicken Noodle Soup (Crock-Pot Style)

...dinner rolls...

..and PEACH COBBLER for dessert!! (Complete with vanilla ice cream but I bought that...)

 Because Sunday was insane, Jackie and John helped me make this last one but it was DELICIOUS!!! I don't know why I don't cook more. I'm not half bad! 

I think I would've made my Momma proud!

Thankfuls

Picking up again on my alphabet "I Am Thankful For" things. So since it is November, the month of Thanksgiving (the holiday because every month really should be a month of thanksgiving) I decided to pick up where I left off and then finish out the month! YAY! Now I have something to blog about instead of sitting here watching my cursor blink while my brain goes blank. So here goes:

November 1st- "O"

"O" is for Optimists. Sometimes it is hard to remember the positive side of life. I'm really grateful for the people in my life who can kick my booty every now and then simply by smiling and saying, "You know, it's raining today but isn't it so beautiful?!" I lose sight of the positive side of life sometimes but those people, they know who they are, help me to realize that life isn't always so bad.

November 2nd- "P" 

"P" is for Patience. No, I am not exactly grateful for the process of waiting for something that I'd really like to have but I've been in a situation lately that has made me be able to see things a little more clearly. I've been able to look back on past experiences and realize that the things the Lord has made me wait for have been the things that I love and appreciate more. It's interesting to realize. Interesting and humbling. Patience is a good thing no matter how I try to fight it. 

November 3rd- "Q"

"Q" is for Questions. Obnoxious? Sometimes. Necessary? Absolutely. Can you imagine what life would be like walking around like a mindless drone? Um, no. You see, I am the kind of person who likes to know the "why". Why am I doing this? What is the purpose? If I do this, what will be the outcome? I am a planner and I think about things. I like to know what is going on basically at all times. Now, I do like surprises, I do but if it is something I can control or a personal decision, believe you me, I'll take the reigns. I am too afraid to let anybody else (but me and the Lord) dictate my life. 

Crazy, Stupid, Love II

I think I've already posted a blog titled "Crazy, Stupid, Love" and yes, I am pulling from the title of that massively awkward/delightful film that just came out this past summer. It's late and I should be in bed but I just got back from seeing that movie and I just wanted to post this:

"...When you find the one, you never give up..."

Don't. Give. Up. 

Bend As Far As You Have To, Just Don't Break.

In the words of my Father, "Just don't break. If you break the world will have to deal with TWO OF YOU!!!" No worries my dear friends, I will not break. Not only for my sanity but for yours as well.

Life lately has been a roller coaster. Being tired for two weeks straight and not feeling like I'm doing anything right has taken such a toll on me. I have been going and going and going, trying to keep up with my social life, trying to stay on top of homework, trying to be a patient roommate, trying to be a grateful daughter, trying to get enough sleep, trying to keep my body from falling apart, trying to serve as much as I can...it takes its toll.

People often ask, "How are you?" When you respond, "Okay" they seem to go into I-must-fix-this-mode. I love all of my dear friends but to be honest, sometimes you just can't help me. Sometimes I just have to fix it myself...with the help of the Lord, of course.

Don't you worry about me! I'm not going to break. In fact, I'm so much stronger than that. The Lord is on my side. I just need to ride the wave for a bit. To calm your worried hearts, here are some picture of what I've been up to lately.

The Hundred Dresses:

Please note: I am smiling in all of those pictures!!!

Musical Love :)

I'm obsessed with these songs right now. It's just plain FABULOUS!

I LOVE THESE SONGS!!
