breakfast with pete and the roomies.

this morning, the roomies and i ventured downtown to eat breakfast with each other at pete's. it was my first time and certainly not my last. greek omelets, biscuits and gravy, and coffee all around. so good! it was kind of the only time we could all get together and share breakfast before our big adventures. it was a great monday and if all monday's are like that...i want a case of them.

remember that time.

remember that time we were downtown and we met kacie b. from the bachelor. yeah, me too. SO funny/no shame!

as of late...

these weeks have been full of baseball games, lunch at sam's with great friends, bakin' cakes, studyin' as the sun wakes up, spring flings, and celebratin' this little princess's birthday at her favorite little restaurant.

a little study break.

so i am in the midst of finals...boo! but i have been taking plenty of breaks...woo! my mentor and her daughter stopped by on monday morning with essentials to get me through this week. the package contained blue bell banana pudding ice cream (my favorite), fancy nancy napkins and plates, and yummy pretzels-who doesn't love all those things? not me!! the package was also designed by my favorite, little person, caroline. it's one of the best packages i have received, so if any one wants a study break or wants an excuse to eat yummy ice cream...i'm your girl! holler.

a little date.

today was a day i went on a little date by myself. i treated myself to a movie...the three stooges. the only reason i went to it is because i know my dad would have loved to have see it, (he always loved them and would always do their eye pokes and their little noises) so in a sense i went with him. during the movie, i heard his laugh, i saw his smile, and i could see the joy come across his face. it really was a special little date, and i'm thankful that i got to spend 2 hours laughing and remembering with my dad.

memory lane.

i have been taking a long, little stroll down memory lane because this week is the last week of classes. what? where did the time go? am i really finished with college? yes, i know that i technically have 4 more weeks after this week...mini term, but let's take baby steps! i'm still counting this as my last week. i mean really, where did the time go? i still feel like a freshmen.

along my walk down this memory lane, i remember all the wonderful things and really hard things that have happened these past four years. as much as i loved high school, i know that during these college years i have learned a lot about myself.

i remember all the road trips i went on, i remember when i found out i would be doing young life at hva, i remember going to big mama's on countless occasions to sing my little heart out, i remember all the football games and tailgates, i remember all the late nights i stayed up with my roomies being silly, i remember camping in my backyard, i remember tears, i remember how my family came together, i remember being shown love by so many different friends, i remember concerts, i remember laughing until pee my pants.

there are so many more memories, and i couldn't be more thankful! i'm excited for the future...even though i don't know what the heck i'm going to do. (i should probably get on that) but it's kind of fun not knowing and just letting go of that control. so here's to these wonderful four years!

just a little senior skip day.

i decided to be a rebel and skip TWO whole classes...i know, i'm so crazy!! my friend, chelsey, is getting ready to hopefully move there, and she had a bunch of interviews in nashville. so after i got the invitation to tag along, i didn't hesitate (i did look at my planner first...but shh) to go to one of my favorite places and explore that fun little city in a day. we woke up with the sun. we talked about life. we laughed a lot! we ate yummy food. we had lots of diet dr pepper. we drove down a one way street...whoops. but really funniest moment. we shopped and thrifted. we even made time to go to the DQ and get some ice cream cones!

it was so fun to spend the day with this lady and catch up on life, she is such a great friend with such a trusting, humble heart in the lord...she is proof that after a hard time, the only peace you can have is peace that comes from the lord. she is living one day at a time-something i strive for.

so thanks chelsey for letting me tag along!!!

a senior skip day for the books!

*we forgot to take a pic so we took one at the DQ...great scenery!
