The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

The past few weeks have thrown a million obstacles my way and it has been very easy for me to become discouraged and overwhelemed. I was taking a break from work and messing around on pinterest (typical) and found this quote. It is all too true. Even though I can barely hear, breathe, and sound like a 90 year old smoker coughing up a lung from my Sinus Infection and even though I may be facing an additional serious health problem, I am still alive. I should be thankful that I have a nose to breathe from even though it is stuffed completely. I need to thank God for two ears that can listen to what others are saying. I should be thankful for the body I do have and realize that my health problem may be the end of the world in my eyes, but in somebody else's life their health problem really does end their world.

It is far too easy to look at what is wrong in our lives than it is to appreciate what is right. This is my heart-to-heart for you all this week :)

I've got Sunshine

So far, the past few weeks have been pretty tough for me. I've been under a lot of stress and unfortunately, it has affected my health. No worries though-the doc has it under control and I'm getting better! Needless to say, my spirits have been kind of down. I was in the grocery store when I got an email that the beautiful Kelsey from Just Another Blonde Princess tagged me in her post for the Sunshine Award! My whole attitude turned completely around :) Thanks so much girl!

 

Here it goes:

1) Favorite Color- I'm pretty sure almost every little girl's favorite color was pink. Let me tell you, I was obsessed with Barbie Pink. It was all over my room, and I went through a stage where I wouldn't wear anything other than pink dresses-Diva much? As I've gotten older, I have branched out and started to appreciate other colors. After all, God made each one individually unique. My current color obsessions are:

coral

green

turquoise

yellow

2) Favorite Number- I've always like the number 3. There is no particular reason, it has just always been a favorite!

3) Favorite Non-alcoholic drink- It's so stereotypical, but I love me some good sweet tea. No one can make it like my Momma ;) 

 

4) Facebook or Twitter? I have become unintentionally obsessed with Twitter. I'm always on it on my phone when I'm bored in class, on the bus, or trying to avoid an awkward conversation!

5) My Passion- This is really hard to just limit my passion to one thing. I am usually very passionate about everything I do so that I do my best. Two things I really am passionate about are:

Dance

 

Ok, most would be embarrassed but I do not care! I have loved dancing all of my life. Even though I'm not passionate about this particular kind of dance, I enjoy losing myself in an empty studio and a great song. I miss it so much!

Bible School

 

I've taught VBS the past 3 summers and I absolutely love it. There is no greater feeling than a student understanding your lesson and what makes it even better is that lesson is about God. I always look forward to this time in the summer every year! 

6) Favorite Animal-

 

7) Giving or Getting Presents? I feel like this is a trick question because who doesn't like to get presents?! I love it :) At the same time though, I truly love getting someone something they really wanted and least suspect. I love seeing how excited they get!

8) Favorite Pattern- I don't particularly have a favorite pattern, but one I've been drawn to lately is polka dots. They are so fun and girly!

9) Favorite Flower- 

 

I'm a flower person in general, but tulips definitely have to be my favorite. They are so elegant but fun at the same time. 

The 5 girls I pass the Sunshine Award on to are:

Emily Ruth

Miss Southern Prep

Sundresses and Smiles

His Diamond and Mine

Two Smuppies

Can't wait to read all of your answers :)

Spring is in the air..

I know I've posted about Spring at least a hundred times now, but tomorrow is the FIRST DAY OF SPRING! Even though we've had the nicest weather the past few days, I am beyond excited that tomorrow actually starts a new season which means no more winter! Woohoo!

I have seriously been slacking on posting lately, and I'm sorry. I'm really going to try to be better this week. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and St. Patty's Day. Here is a recap in pictures of my weekend:

ZTA Mother's Weekend:

The girls and our Moms!

(btw, notice my new necklace :) )

Friday night we had a nice dinner at a building on Campus. After, me and my Mom and my little and her Mom came to my apartment and watched the new Footloose.

On Saturday morning, my Mom and I woke up bright and early. We explored a trail that runs along the Neuse River. We ended up walking 6.6 miles total! It was so peaceful and relaxing.

Around noon, we went to Accidental Artist. It is a place where you can pick out a piece of pottery to paint and decorate! It was so much fun.

My Mom, Me, and My Little at Accidental Artist!

One of my good friends and sisters, Brooke. 

Saturday night was Tim's Birthday and St. Patty's day! We went to a local Mexican Restaurant to celebrate, and then he had a few friends over to his apartment before we went Down Town.

The Birthday Boy

Hope yall had a great weekend!
