LOVE



I need to do a lot of reading today to get ready for this week.

I wish I could do it on something as comfy looking as this.

We used to have a window seat like this in my old house in Raleigh. I used to sit there all the time and stare out the window at the big trees and swingset in our backyard. My favorite picture of me and my brother when we were younger was taken in that window seat. One night Mom cooked spaghetti and I piled a huge heap of it with lots of sauce on my plate and carried it over to take my seat on the bench by the window, but while I was scooting in the seat, I tilted my plate full of (very hot) spaghetti and poured it all down the front of me and onto the window seat --this was also around the age where I didnt like to wear clothes, around age five (a little old, I know) but this spaghetti mishap was just another excuse for me to run around naked. That window seat was where we did birthdays and holidays  and family meals (before we discovered tray-tables), and celebrations with the family. When I move into a house and have a family of my own, one of the requirements is that we must have a window seat to share special times and day dream out the big bay window.

I agree with this and need to add some things to my wardrobe. Looks like I'll be shopping this weekend.

Its Official!

Spring Break '11 is fast approaching and I just booked my flight to Treasure Cay, Bahamas!

These are the views from the house we're staying in!

Me and seven other girls in my sorority are going to stay in one of the girls houses in Abaco for a week and as a 21st birthday present to me, my parents are paying for the whole thing and I couldnt be more thrilled!

Countdown begins now: 39 days



Oh Gossip Girl, how I've missed you. Now my Monday nights are complete with S and B back on TV. xoxo

This bed would be great to cuddle up in right now, especially after my first trip to church in a long time and the great message that came from it. I would love to be curled up in a bed of love all the time, because like the cliche, thats really all we need. And when people need love the most, when they want to be in His light and shine their own light, dont turn your back on them, give them more.

"Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you’ve lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that’s good."

sometimes, it’s the moments that mean the least, that mean the most.

the moments that go unnoticed to many that seem of monumental importance to me.

the moments during rush hour traffic when everybody is anxiously waiting to get off the road but I envelop myself in the lyrics of the song in the background and the wind flowing through my hair. 

the moments when you pretended not to care, but i knew you did because you’re a terrible liar.

the moments that we did absolutely nothing at all. 

the moments i swore i’d never remember that are still etched in my mind ever so clearly… those were the best moments of my life.

better version, in my eyes.

While I loved the fact that today was kind of dark and gloomy and rainy so I got to pull out my new hunter boots, I want it to be warm!! Warm so I can not worry about taking a jacket everywhere I go, and warm so I can wear amazing clothes like these.

With 18 hours of class this semester, I should be focused on my studies. But all I can think about these days is what Im going to do with the rest of my life. And more importantly, how Im going to decorate my big girl home one day in the near future.

 I love playing with the ideas in my head. My mom rearranges furniture and decorates for fun and I think it has rubbed off on me because I find myself more and more trying to add to my apartment now and make it my own, even though its only mine until May and then I get to start the process all over again.
