Happy 100th post!!!!




This is my 100th blog post and I wish I had something grand or epic to celebrate it however, I will use this blog post as a catching up, because I miss you guys. (And I like to imagine you miss me!)

Football season is over...and what a sad day that is! Yes, there are things to look forward to like beautiful spring days, the smoldering hot summer days by or in the pool; but let's be honest, we already have our countdown to kick of both SEC and NFL football. Here's (most of) our football family!!


School this semester has been overwhelming already! I am always working on something yet I never feel like I am doing enough. (Very disheartening) Everything needs to be done yesterday!!

I am getting ready to go judge a pageant again, and I am really excited! I had such a blast last year!!  My favorite part is being able to write the girls encouraging notes on their score sheets.  I remember what is was to be fifteen and let me tell you, I never had the courage or self esteem to be on stage like that! Some of these girls wear their insecurities on their shoulders and some behind their hair! Either way I find myself praying for them as I’m writing their score sheet! However, am I looking forward to trying on the tiara again?? yes, yes I am!!!

(this picture also makes me miss my long hair...)


In other school news, I received an email today letting me know that some of my professors have chosen me to be spotlighted! This means I will be interviewed and have cameras following me around on campus, I mean seriously my own day of paparazzi?!?!  YES Please!!

I wrote a paper last week on a most interesting topic answering the question: “Would you rather die for your virginity than be raped?” I made a 100 on it. I am anxious to see if I have any notes from my professor on the paper.
      
Oh can we all just take a moment to be thankful I made an 85 on my first Spanish test……..thank you! I hate that class; I am not going sit here and act like I have fun or enjoy learning another language because I don’t. I am not in that class to try to make me a better person, or so  I can help others with a language barrier feel more at ease; maybe that makes me a bad person but I am only in there because I have to be………….to get my degree in ENGLISH……………………………

This weekend is looking to be a fun one!!! Besides the rain and school work I will be doing, I have a baby shower  and Mardi Gras festivities that include a mini road trip and Daughtry concert with my friend that is of the male sex! The same friend, who I might add, had this surprise waiting at home for me on Valentine's day! 

(at the risk of being super sappy and #thatgirl ... I think he likes me and I think I might feel the same)

So until next time dearies, and I promise a follow up blog to the things mentioned here!!
HAPPY MARDI GRAS!

Heres to my first ever comment on one of your blogs, let's hope I don't cross over a "line". But you did open the door. While mentioning all the "I thinks", I might add I think I might like him too.

My Grandpa

Image
As I am sure many of you have read or heard, my grandfather passed away this week after a long hard fought battle over the years and especially this last month. One thing can be said for sure, my grandfather was a fighter with a will to live and one you never heard complain about any of his ailments. He always had a smile on his face and a content heart just to be with his loved ones. Through the past several weeks I have stopped and just watched as the hand of God has carried my family with His outpour of grace and mercy in some very unfortunate circumstances and times. I sat next my fading grandfather as he caressed a picture of a better and younger era with his shaking frail hand, a time where health and time were on his side. A time where dreams were being sought and the future was bright. He stared at the picture and you could almost see the memories on his face as he was seeing them. I noticed his hand; a shaky frail hand that has done so much, built churches, houses, chalkboards

Blogging Off The Weight & More

Nope, I have not forgotten, everyday when I crave that chocolate or that supersize meal... I think about this picture of the old cantankerous lady in a moo-moo and try my best to resist such temptation!! The scales are showing a loss of about 28 pounds (depending on the week of the month its 30, HA!!!!) While these results are slow I am reminded that just like everything else in life, this too is a process, filled with ups and downs. Do you ever just have those rare days that you feel skinny?? I know I do and those are the days that I REALLY try to avoid the mirrors! Let me have my delusional skinny day once a month! haha One day, it will no longer be a delusion and I will have a flat stomach but that day is not today! I have noticed a change in some clothes and how they fit, that is fun. Swimsuit season is basically upon us and my body sings "oh happy day" in a sarcastic tune when I think about this! However I did find a swimsuit that I feel pretty in and I think thats reall

Lovin' My Louisiana

Let's face it, Louisiana gets a bad rap most of the time. Sure, we may not have it all together but show me a state that does. Having grown up in Louisiana, I may be a little partial. While I love to visit other states and every now and then I toss the idea of living elsewhere, my heart always comes back to my Louisiana and why I love her so. I could not imagine living elsewhere when football season rolled around, or even the ungodly summer heat, I think I would miss it... Ok!  maybe I wouldn't miss that as much as I would the song of a Louisiana summer night.  All this talk about my Louisiana made me want to write the things that I really love and appreciate about our state: I love the croaks and chirps on a hot summer evening, letting us all know nightfall is here. I am thrilled by the dance of the lightning bugs against the blanket of night, and the bright nightlights in the sky above. If its 65 degrees, you can bet we will have the scarves and sweaters on! I lo
