Confessional Friday

  • First and foremost confession: I miss blogging. School is overwhelming and consuming at this present moment.
  • I probably shouldn’t be taking the time to write this post.
  • I have two papers due next Thursday: An eight page paper for Paranormal Philosophy and a critical analysis that will probably be about six pages for American Lit.
  • I am in the middle of my first paragraph on my eight page paper. However, I almost have one page because of this paragraph.
  • I want these papers done before next Wednesday night when Amber and I go and see the Moscow ballet perform Cinderella.
  • I am overly excited to be going to a ballet. Probably has to do with the long lost dream of being a ballerina.
  • I am both excited and saddened that Amber is graduating. I am going to miss having her to keep me sane in classes and while working in the writing center. However, how can I not be excited for her? Homegirl has worked her tail off for four years now and is about to start a new chapter in her journey.
  • I have been working out nearly everyday for a month now and it has been fabulous.
  • I heard the song “For the First Time” by The Script on the way back from my canoeing trip, and I cannot stop listening to it.
  • I have two more weeks of school, and I am so beyond ready for summer.
  • Once summer is here and I have more time to blog, be expected to have an overload of posts and Instagram pictures that I have failed to put up.
  • I bought a hula hoop about three weeks ago. Yes, I know I am 21, but it is tons of fun and good exercise. So, that is that.

My suitemates Katie and Zara thought I made an excellent purchase. I guess you are never too old for some things. :)

Have a splendid weekend, and I hope everyone else who is swamped by the end of the semester work is not too stressed and does well on their finals. See ya in about two weeks!

Easter and Behind on Life

Sooooo much blog neglect…..It has been a crazy few weeks, and the next four weeks that stand between me and summer only promise to be even more crazy. I have so much to share with all of you, but as with most things in my life, I will probably be late getting around to it. 

However, today is Easter! I love this holiday, but I have to agree with my pastor that every Sunday we should celebrate the fact that we have a risen Savior, otherwise worship would be in vain. In fact, that is why we even choose Sunday as the day of communal worship, in order to commemorate the fact that He arose on a Sunday. Still, I am thankful that at least at one time a year that many people take time to remember the fact that there is a risen, all powerful Savior who conquered death sitting at the right hand of God, who is reigning in glory. I also like the fact that it is another excuse to get together with the family. Sadly, I missed the get-together with my mom’s side yesterday, but I did get to see some of my dad’s family today.

So, here are some photos to recap my day. Happy Easter, everyone!

My sweet girls after a long day. Please notice how their feet are crossing over each others in their sleep. So adorable.

I hope you had a blessed Easter!
