Winter fun!

I have never been ice skating before! So Matthew, me and My friend Katie went ice skating, it was so fun1 It was very very scary at first as Matthew said I looked like Bambi on ice! Once I loosened my death grip on the wall ha! I really enjoyed it. There was a lot of kids, I don't know how the parents were doing it, I was having an anxiety attack the whole time with kids zooming around.

Then we went to the Greenville Zoo I hadn't been since I was literally 5, It was so fun I used to be obsessed with zoos I loved the giraffes! It was really neat to go to the zoo as an adult! I was sad Christmas was over but this brightened me up!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!

Our sweet snow man! Don't you love his hair?!?! ha ha my touch!

We had such a fun time in the snow and enjoying Christmas! I was so happy for a white Christmas at my house! I've had them before but never at home! Nothing is better than looking out the window and seeing all the Christmas lights covered in snow!

Visiting with these cuties was the best part, you can't enjoy Christmas unless you hear the excitement and stories from a child!
Opening barbies and Matthew setting up Eve's wii honestly put me in the best Christmas spirit, with snow falling out the window, It really was the perfect day!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Merry Christmas!

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2: 10-11

Merry Christmas!

Happy birthday my love!

Happy Birthday Matthew!

I love 21 times more than you know!

Hope you're birthday is spectacular just like you!

God is so good!

All week I had been worrying about paying for school, last semester I got a sizable amount of money back from school to pay for books and have some left! This semester I have 3 labs and a lot of lab fees so I wouldn't be getting enough money to pay for my books which are going to cost close to 800 dollars! I prayed and got has answered my prayers, I checked my email today and found out i received a grant for almost the exact amount of books, I had never applied or even heard of this grant. God is so good!

Matthew 6: 31-32

I love owls, they are so cool they have 3 eyelids! I want this wallet so much! SANTA?


I pray for a happy safe rest of the week! Matthew's on duty and I always pray he is EXTRA careful!

I pray for a happy Thanksgiving full of family, food, and gratitude for our many blessings!

Thanksgiving wish!

I wish for a trip to visit my family, like it always used to be!

A chance to freeze my buns off, on Thanksgiving, with snow on the ground and the lake froze a mile out!

A chance to remember my absolute favorite times in my life, with my sweet grandma!

and ESPECIALLY a chance to show my sweetheart, exactly what my favorite place on Earth is all about!

It's not quite Thanksgiving, but every day I am grateful for my blessings from God!

Happy Halloween!

Fall fun!

I love Fall, it is my favorite season, I love the colors I love the clothes, I love the smell of dead leaves... that's weird I know. I LOVE going to the mountains to look at leaves, I love everything. I love Halloween , I love love Thanksgiving, it's my favorite holiday. It'll be Matthew and I's third. Although four years ago. two days after Thanksgiving Matthew came over for the first time, he met my parents for the first time and he had on pajamas! haha ! He had fell in mud while hunting and only had that with him! Then the next year when we started dating my dad said, "He better not be wearing pajmas this time!" haha it's so funny to look back it seems so long to me but my parents have been married for almost 25 years!! thta's so amazingly long!
We made a really nice trip to the mountains to visit a waterfall we've never been to and then we went to haunted house! I was forced it was horrible! I cried hahaha! People got in your face with chainsaws excuse me?!? is this legal? I yelled at them that my dad makes the parts for that chain saw so he better back off! hahaha I almost peed in my pants from freight!

I am also in the process of attempting to sell my car which is a very very sad process that I probably won't end up doing ha! I have problems with change and or giving up my things!

My dream cars!

Matthew's dream car

Back to day dreaming!

Happy fall!

Surprisingly...

The Miranda Lambert concert was sooo good! Eric Church was AMAZING! They both sounded so good live, Josh Kelly the opening guy who is married to Katherine Heigl was surprisingly good! BUT Not surprisingly, I did something I always do! Something stupid, I was so excited to get some cute picture before the concert with my new hair and fall clothes, so what do I do? Cut myself shaving and then use toilet paper only for it to be in every picture!!!! ah! and no one told me!!!!! I finally turned my leg so it didn't show but wow, I really need help!

My favorite picture! Can't even see the toilet paper!

Two more days!

Only two more days until the Miranda Lambert concert! Yes!!! This is Matthew and I's second concert together and the last one was almost the same date, weird! ha anyways, I am so so so excited! woot woot!

I am also very excited about colder weather! I can't wait for the leaves to change and to breathe some fresh mountains air ( only to have an allergy attack and sneeze and cough for two weeks ha, that's how nature shows it's love back to me)

Long gone are days on the lake!

Hello scarves, boots, sweaters, red noses!

Weekend of Surprises!

On Friday Matthew planned a date night! How sweet he had everything ready for me and we went to Greenville! We ate at Sobey's it was sooo good! WOW! I wanted to eat everything there ha! I had Applewood Bacon Pork Tenderloin and Matthew had crab cakes and he said they are the best he's ever had! Mmm I want to go back!

This is our forced smiles after our surprise last second upset by the Tigers! I look like I cried! ha I didn't but it stinks! We spent the day on the lake before it gets too cold!
Good bye summer, hello fall "aka not sweating, wearing long sleeve t-shirts, enjoying being outside, not blasting the a/c"

My sweets!

This boy can be the sweetest thing in the world! I am so glad I know his heart, I thank God for that. That's my thought for the day, how many people do you know if your life? 1,000 probably but how many people's heart do you know? You understand them and can tell them it all, they help you to understand more, they help you discover things about yourself you didn't know. That's probably a number you can count on one hand!

On the other hand, ha!!! isn't his hand pitiful? If anyone was in line to get a bubble this boy could be first!

In other news, I sure am ready for fall! I saw some leaves already changing in Rock Hill and I was like YES!

I also got my field experience placement and I'm going to be tutoring in Powdersville! I am so excited I think it's really cool that you get to be in the classroom your first semester! Hopefully it'll weed some people out! Gosh everyone is so smart! I feel like Elle Woods form legally blonde! ha Mostly with my pink computer... ha I ordered this bad only with my initials in a new way I've never had before! I was hoping it would come this week but no :( mine is brown and I'm very excited to get it! I keep buying the things i don't need shirts, sweaters, bags, jewelry, but not pants. Simply because It's so hard to buy pants. ugh!

I'm very excited for the weekend, just to relax and not do too much school work, and hopefully it'll rain!

Go Tigers!

Dear College,

I hate walking,

I hate when it rains,

I hate parking,

I would enjoy a segway.

Please hurry cold weather and roller blades.

Thanks ,

your number one student.

anything better?!

Honestly what's better than this process?
