Pinterest!

Last year during this time, I was introduced to the world of Pinterest and spent way too much time on the sight. This year, I still love it, but find myself never having enough time to spend the hours upon hours I used to spend. In celebration of my rough day yesterday, here is some pins I have loved this week.

Travel

Someday I will make it here!

Dream boots 

I am pretty sure I would wear these everyday if I owned them.

Target  

If you know me, you know I have a target addiction and this will help with shopping so much!

Encouragement 

Wow, this quote means so much to me in my life right now. I spent all of last week being bitter about an event in my life and even though I was busy, I was constantly criticizing others. What a great quote to encourage me improve myself and stop wasting time criticizing others. 

Chocolate cups 

 I want to make these now!

Mini Pumpkin Pies 

 Thanksgiving means Pumpkin Pie which means I am a happy girl. I wouldn't mind having these lay around the house.

Rainy Mornings

You know the saying, "When it rains it pours?" 

Well, that is the title of my life this week.

My computer decided to call it quits for its 17th + time the other night because it hates charging thanks to my clumsiness of dropping it on its side three years ago. 

My android fell while I was listening to music in the bathroom and part of the screen cracked which now means it will not sense my touch on one half of the screen.

I completely struggled with a homework assignment that ended with a not so pretty word on my behalf.

I tried to be a great daughter and buy my mom an awesome birthday gift, but realized I did not read the fine print and now hate the gift I got her for her birthday.

It is pouring today when I took the time to straighten my hair last night which means hello frizzy, wavy, ridiculous hair.

It really does pour when it rains. I spent the morning calling myself stupid and being so angry at myself and life.

After spending twenty minutes beating myself up for my clumsiness and lack of gracefulness, I quickly sobered up and reminded myself that I have way too much to be thankful for.

I am grateful my parents continue to buy me electronics even though they know I will most likely break them in the long run.

I am grateful for rainy days to water this beautiful place I call home.

I am grateful for bad hair days because it reminds me that my worth does not come from my beauty, but from God.

I am grateful I had money to buy my mom a birthday present this year even if it may not be the best gift in the world.

I am grateful for not always being the perfect Christian and that God still loves me through it all the bad words that come out of my mouth.

I am grateful to realized I can get through life without electronics.

I am grateful for the friends who continue to encourage me through my rough weeks and temper tantrums.

I am grateful to be alive and breathing for another day.

We have so much to be grateful for.

Blessings and Sufferings #4

So these last couple of weeks have been crazy!

School has started and we are into week 3! Week 3! It flew by so fast, but here's what I am thankful and struggling with over the last couple of weeks. 

Struggles

I cannot seem to get my mind to wrap around school mode. It is slowly adjusting and it makes me spend very late nights in the library or on campus

I guess I have been stressed so my face keeps breaking out in the same place; it's not horrible, but I am a girl who never had breakouts or acne so when one little breakout occurs, it is the end of the world for me.

I have realized how bad I am about over comitting myself to stuff; I need some serious prayer that I can learn to say no to stuff I cannot handle.

 Blessings

My little nephew keeps getting cuter and cuter; the little cuteness just has the prettiest eyes and the coolest hair. Being at school away from him kind of sucks, but still grateful to have in our family.

My parents celebrate 25 years of marriage this week which included a fun surprise party for them this past weekend. They are such great models of a realistic marriage and I hope to have a marriage similar to theirs some day.

Baby Aleena comes to visit us at school every so often and she is too cute. I love being 3 amigo's plus a gorgeous baby. 
In just over a month, I will be back in the gorgeous state of Washington visiting some dearly missed plans and hopefully paving a way for my future. I just need a plane ticket and a little more money now.


If you are a worship leader or love true advice from fellow Christians, check out this book my dad and his best friend just finished. So proud of him and all he has done. It's only $11 and totally worth it!
