Things to Remember
You’ll never please everyone, no matter how hard you try.
You can always improve something.
You don’t always have to seek permission. Sometimes you just have to do what you need to do, keep your head up and go on with your life.
You’re not responsible for someone else’s actions. You’re only responsible for YOU, and how YOU present yourself.
Do what YOU need to do...
“You belong among the wildflowers. You belong somewhere you feel free.”

In & Out (Not the Restaurant)
Have you ever noticed how people come in and out of your life like they’re just browsing? Like they’re “trying on” your friendship and if it’s not good enough for them or if it doesn’t fit right, they just lay it down and walk away?
Alot of times, we want people to prove themselves. Prove that they’re worthy of our time, love and friendship. We sometimes...
Better Late than Never.
I haven’t posted in over a month. Oops. I kinda forgot that I even had a blog. Good thing there’s no New Years resolution police or I would’ve been in big trouble. Even as I’m typing this I’m still not even sure what to write about. I could give an update on my life, but it hasn’t changed too much. Still busy, still stressful and still full of surprises. Other...

How I Survived Being an Army Brat..
For some reason, I always get asked the question, “how did you survive being an Army brat?!” I always smile and give the same answer. “I loved it.”
That’s the truth. I am so so glad that I got to grow up with a daddy who was in the Army. I never once resented my parents for making me move all around the country while I was growing up. I went to a different school...
A Quick Reminder
Before you go to sleep tonight, make sure you tell all of your loves ones how much you love them. Tell people how much they really mean to you. Thank someone for all of their hard work. Thank God for everything that He has blessed you with. Set all of your worries to the side. Pray. Count your blessings. Don’t go to sleep in a bad mood or mad at someone. Life is too short. Don’t take...
Don't Forget to Laugh
I bought a book the other week that’s called “100 Ways to Simplify Your Life.” The title of it caught my attention so of course I read the back and decided to buy it. 20 some dollars and one small coffee (oops) later, I went home and started reading. I read to probably # 7 and realized that I already knew one of the main ways to “simplify your life.”
Laughing....
A Post About Nothing..
I have been seriously slacking on my blogging skills lately. I guess since I got my iPhone, I’ve let this slip to the side. That’s no excuse though, since I do have a Tumblr app on my phone… Ooops!
Not much has been going on in the wonderful life of me.. just the same ole work, school and then school and then some more school.
I never have time to cook dinner anymore and...

You're Stuck With You.
Kinda scary, huh? Getting along with yourself can be easy, but for a lot of people.. it’s not. For some it’s their appearance, for others it’s their actions. Most of the time there’s at least one thing that someone dislikes about themselves. And usually, that one thing can cause loads of unhappiness.
However, I’ve learned that no matter what.. you need to learn to be...
It's All About ME. (Literally)
I really don’t like posting a blog that’s mostly me bragging about myself. But tonight, I’m gonna do it. So if you don’t wanna read about me (or how awesome I am) (just kidding), this may not be your favorite blog of mine.
BUT. I’m just proud of myself. I really have “grown up” over the past year. Mostly within the last few months.
I’ve definitely...

A Day (weekend) In the Life..
I keep forgetting to post on here. Oops! I always think about it but then I realize I have nothing to say! Writer’s block is getting the best of me. However this morning I thought I’d just write about what I’ve done this weekend…
Friday: I had my math class (just 50 minutes) so it’s not bad at all. I don’t mind it. I’ve got a really good teacher so I...
Who Knew?
Woooo!
It’s 9:30pm and I just cleaned my whole house. I’m not real sure where my sudden burst of energy came from but I’m sure glad it came. Today wasn’t very stressful. However, my morning didn’t start out the best. While I was minding my own business and making my coffee… I spilt it EVERYWHERE. And I don’t mean a cup of coffee.. I mean the container of...
Whew.
It’s been a lonnnnngggg week. My schedule this semester is already kicking my butt. (Is it May yet?) I think I went to bed around 9ish every night. My Anatomy class is so fun but so fast paced. My brain hurts when I think about the next class.
But…. I didn’t write this post just to complain about everything… I wanted to share a quote that I love:
“If God brings you...

Just In Case You Were Wondering....
I feel like I should explain to you the reason that I still haven’t obtained a degree. (It kinda makes me laugh to say obtained.) I was folding towels and realized that people probably wonder why I haven’t gotten into a program or graduated yet. (Sidenote 1: Also while folding towels I realized that we go through more towels a week than 2 people should. Im starting to come to the...

One Week Down.
Okay, so.
This past week school started back. I have an awful schedule. Well - to most people it wouldn’t be bad because all of my classes start pretty late. No 8am classes this semester! I’m not a fan of it because it’s all over the place. I have morning classes, classes after lunch and night classes. I’ve been running here there and yonder (my roots are coming out) this...
30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself.
A friend of mine shared this link on facebook. I read all of it… twice. Once was while I was waiting to drop and add a class at school today. Waiting for like 30 minutes when I didn’t really have 30 minutes to waste. That’s a different story….
Anywho. Instead of copying and pasting (cause I’m too tired for that) Here’s the link:...

I Wanna be a Pioneer Woman...
I just need to make a quick post about my new obsession.
I stumbled across a website…
Now I can’t get off of it. Thank you, Pinterest.
But really. This woman is my hero. Her website has everything.
Recipes.
Pictures.
Funny Blogs.
Tutorials.
I could go on and on and on and on and on… But I won’t.
So I suggest that you go check it out.
You’re welcome.

Recently a friend’s little brother discovered that he had a large tumor in his chest and since has been through ongoing surgeries and procedures. Please keep Josh and his entire family in your prayers. Above is the link to the Caring Bridge website!
6 days later.. Ooops!
I didn’t mean to go 6 days without posting! I’m trying to do it AT LEAST every other day. However this past week was my birthday week. At the beginning of the week I had bad allergies problems going on. I couldn’t breathe or hardly swallow. It was not fun at all! My birthday was on Wed. and I went out with my family and Z’s family to Firebirds for dinner. The very first...
January 2nd? Already?
Well Happy New Years! — Can’t believe I haven’t posted since last year ;) Can’t believe it’s January 2nd. The year is flying by already!
We had a good New Years. I taught C how to jump off the couch and “jump into the new year” and bang pots and pans at midnight. I think she thought I was crazy but my mama has always done it so I’m carrying on the...

New Years Eve-Eve.
Last night we helped someone find their lost dog. She was running around in the bottoms behind our house and all I could hear was her collar. She wouldn’t come to me (even though I tried to make casual conversation.) Finally we found the owners and they got her home safely. I would expect someone to help me if I lost a dog so I always make it a point to help! Last good deed of 2011! Well, I...
Goodbye 2011.
Looking back on 2011 it was definitely a good year. There were ups and downs, there were firsts and lasts, and there were hellos and goodbyes. There’s way too much to say about the year in general, so here’s a summary of my year in pictures :)
January — 80’s party.
February — Jason Aldean/Eric Church Concert
March — Learned how to shoot an AR-15

I used my new crock pot today to make a Venison Roast. Growing up I hardly EVER ate Venison. However my boyfriend did and he loves it. I made it mostly for him but also to experiment with the crock pot. It turned out pretty good. Next time I’ll definitely use a thicker marinade to cook it in to rule out the ‘gamey’ taste. I also got new Paula Deen cookware for Christmas so this...
