Girls Night

I had two of my dearest friends in the world over for the entire weekend. We started on Friday after work and didn't stop going until Sunday afternoon. We wanted to do one long, bash together, since "Terrible Wedding Season" is starting at the Bakery, and I will be extremely busy between studying and working. Thanks girls for coming over and watching movies, talking, eating, acting goofy and laughing together! You gave me great memories! I love you guys!

Why I am getting a degree

Two years ago, when I first got serious about getting a degree, I made myself think about this question, “Is this worth it?” Is it worth all the time, effort, and money to get a little piece of paper that says I have a degree in such and such with so and so college? Lets get past the obvious, “Well, you have better opportunities of getting a higher paying job or going somewhere with your life.” I know all that. Those reasons are not enough for me to spend four years of my life getting a degree. The reasons have to be more personal than that. So, I started thinking—what are my reasons? And this is what I have figured out:
1. God is calling me to get my degree. How do I know this? My daddy told me so. I am not joking. My dad wants me to get my degree. He believes very strongly in a woman being able to adequately provide for herself. I love my dad! My dad didn’t give me an ultimatum, he just gave me his reasons for asking me to get my degree. I could not disagree with his reasons, they were right. I know, without my parents cheering me on, I would have given up before I even started.
2. I do want a career. I want a job that is exciting, and that will give me the chance to discover things in life. For the job ideas that I have in mind, I have to have a degree.
3. I want to home-school my children—if and when I have any—and I don’t want any government official telling me that I am not qualified to do this. I don’t see our country ever truly accepting this type of schooling, so for my peace of mind, I want one of the highest educations that no one can argue with.
4. My last reason is one that will keep continuing until I graduate. I have noticed in myself that I have become more disciplined and determined. I don’t mind taking the time to do things right. God has helped me push myself to do things, I never thought were possible. This does not only affects my academic lifestyle, but my physical and spiritual lifestyles as well.
I thank God I have the opportunity to go through this time in my life—even though it is difficult. I know it will all be worth it in the end.

MB Concert

Michael Buble is one of my favorite singers and now is one of my favorite performers. When I heard that he was coming through town I knew that I had to see him. So me and some friends did just that. The only thing that I was disappointed in was his taste in humor—it had much to be desired. Leaving that behind, he was fantastic. Sorry that the pics are a little blurry—I had to zoom from far away.

Naturally 7 was the opening act. They were an amazing accapella group. All the instrument sounds were done by their own voices.



We had a great time!

Here goes nothing....

I had a blog awhile back, but didn't really like the setup. I have been thinking about doing it again, but I wanted to make sure that I had a purpose and not just ramble on it. So as the above description says, this blog is dedicated to my life as a Christian, my college experiences and my passion for fashion and traveling. Hopefully I will stick to that! Anyway, there is my first post!
