Things I'm loving...

There are lots of things I am loving today! Yesterday was not a good day. I got stuck in Jackson because of storms. I missed the visitation. I spent a lot of time in a storm shelter trying not to yell at people joking about tornados. Yesterday a lot of things went wrong but today has been a great day! Those not so good days really make me appreciate days like today. So today I am loving...

The Sun!
I am so glad the sun decided to come out today. It wasn't exactly warm, but it was warmer than it has been. I love when the sun is out. I have had the windows open all day mainly because I cooked salmon last night and this apartment still smells like fish. It is crazy how much more motivated I am on these sun shiny days. Oh and did I mention I absolutely love how the days are getting longer! That means summer is coming!

A map of my trip!

Speaking of summer... I am loving the fact that in 104 days I will be on a plane to Europe! AHhHh! How exciting is that?! I'll be honest I have never really just dreamed of going to a foreign country for an extended period of time. The decision to take this trip was very influenced by Jackelyn because she was going but needed someone to go with her. And then backed by my Mom and her love for traveling. I was a little reluctant at first but who in their right mind turns down a once in a lifetime trip to Europe?! When we booked the trip there was still over 200 days until we departed and it didn't feel real to me. But now... we are almost in double digits! I am so so so excited. I am sure I will talk about this a lot more as I get closer to departing.


A glue gun is like the duct tape of the crafting world. I am amazed by all the ways I can use this baby. Now that my sewing machine is broken I have been using my glue gun almost every day. I am not sure whose glue gun this is actually. It is in our apartment and we all have used it at some point or another. Now that we are moving out we have realized most of the stuff we own we aren't sure who it is going to go home with. Since Emily and I are the only ones who live here I have got a 50/50 chance of taking it back to Cross Plains with me! I am hoping she won't fight too hard for it ;) but if so I will be asking for a glue gun as a graduation gift!




And lastly this song. When I am at school I really only listen to Christian radio and that is mostly because there aren't many stations to chose from but also because the music always seems to be a blessing to me. I enjoy this station and it always seems to be playing just the song I need to hear. When I first heard this song come on the radio I didn't really like it all that much. I thought it was annoyingly upbeat and I was not in the mood how ironic. Well I slowly but surely started catching on and now it is one of those songs I find myself humming throughout the day. It could be a theme song of mine considering I am really good at noticing the things that drive me nuts and not the ways I am blessed.

Oh and did I mention I am loving chocolate cake! This is really weird for me I am usually not a big chocolate eater. I have never really gotten why people go so gaga over it. But lately I have been craving chocolate cake like a mad woman! I may have had chocolate cake with every meal including breakfast for the past few days. oops... The good news is tonight will be the last of my chocolate cake and hopefully the last of my chocolate cravings!

Oh yea and I am graduating in 46 days... and I LOVE THAT!

and I love you :)
