Let's Bowl!

So, in my last post, I mentioned that I would tell you about this amazing guy that I have the honor to call my boyfriend! (I love that word, hehe)

Let me just tell you, this guy....words can't even describe how amazing it feels to have him by my side....sappy right? Well, if you don't like sappy, stop reading now because there is bound to be a ton sappy things said in this post. :P 

....seriously, if you are not a fan of sappy love stories, romance, or anything of the kind.....go ahead and click that little back arrow or that little x to close the window......BUT if you do enjoy those types of things...keep reading!! :)


HOW WE FIRST MET
I was down visiting my cousin, Kat, at their new house down in Louisiana for a week this past summer. We wanted to do something fun to get out of the house and she suggested bowling. I was like, "Yes! I haven't gotten to go bowling since ours burned down." So I was up for it. She then proceeds to tell me her friend Ian and his brother are going to be there, so I was elated to meet some new people. Little did I know that our first encounter would be the start of something wonderful. 
After we bowled 3 games we decided to head out to get coffee and beignets and hang out. It was a lot of fun, even though I got powdered sugar down my dress top, not gonna name names. (Kat, I will get you back >.>) 
Anyway, after the whole hang out, I added him on facebook because I thought he was really neat and it'd be cool to get to know him. A few days later he accepted my request and then things went quiet. But, not for long.....


OK...sooo this one wasn't as sappy as I thought it was going to be, but I didn't want to throw a TON of stuff out at once!

To Be Continued...

Some catching up to do!

I know it's been a good looong while since I last posted, but things have been c-r-azy (in a good way)!

Hmm, to sum it all up...I'm finally at the end of Fall semester of my senior year here and it has been a trip! I've grown so much spiritually and mentally these past few months and it's been a pretty amazing trip.

Since it is my Senior Year, I'm doing my student teaching and I have been placed in one of the best schools and classrooms I could have ever asked for :) I love those little second graders, they have taught me so much the past few months and I can't wait to see them again after winter break! I also admire my Clinical Instructor I've been placed with, she is definitely an awesome teacher! I don't want to forget the other two awesome C.I's I had in my Junior year, they have all been such inspirations and I couldn't be more blessed! I can only aspire to be half as great as these 3 women have been!

Anyway...before I get all sappy...

This coming week is FINALS WEEK.....DUN DUN DUN! But I got this under control! I WILL conquer all 4 of these tests! 

I want to wish all of my fellow peers out there good luck on all of their finals!! 

Here's a little verse for you to think of when you're sitting in your chair waiting for the test to be passed around or as your in the library or your room studying:

"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41:10 

Oh [side note] when I have some extra time on my hands...I'll tell you about this awesome guy I've fallen in love with ;)

Dress Up Time!

I have recently gotten the joy to babysit a certain lil girl (I'm not sure if I can technically say she's lil because she is 11...but that's lil in my book) and she is hysterical! 

Yesterday was the 3rd time I've gotten to "hang out" (as she calls it) with her and it was the most interesting time I've ever experienced while babysitting...well there was that one time where the girl screamed...that's another terrifying story for later...

Anyway...yesterday she was bored because she had been home all day so she had thought about going over to her friend's house, BUT she came up with a completely random idea...and you will never guess what came out of this girl's mouth...

"Let's have a doggie wedding!"

Yep, she seriously said that! I was a little hesitant because after that phrase, she headed straight for her mother's fabric/sewing/art room to find material. We were going to make the clothing. 

I bet you can guess the look that probably came over my face when she said this... O.O  <-me

But, then she described how she made the clothing, so I relaxed a bit, but still...we were using her mom's fabric, and I had to trust that this little girl was allowed to use the fabric she used. All I could keep thinking was: "This is going to be interesting...for sure!" 

She dressed up in one of her father's old suits (this was adorable! It was too big for her but she looked so cute!) and I was wrapped in some sparkly blue fabric and the ceremony commenced!! 

-music and all- 

The bride was dressed in an original Krista design with a pink veil and the groom was in an original Clementine design with a hat borrowed from another stuffed animal. It was honestly the most precious thing I've ever been a part of! We danced at the after party with the bride and groom and ended the night watching Crocodile Dundee. 

Awesome night. Awesome girl. Awesome doggie wedding. :) 

Me and the handsome "stuffed" groom

Bowties Are Cool

Summer school is finally out! 

(ok, so it's been out since last wednesday, but still)

Since I now have so much free time, I honestly don't know what to do with myself. 

It's quite pitiful if you ask me. A girl who doesn't know what to do with herself until school starts...and actually waiting for it to begin again...

I have some serious issues - don't judge. 

Since I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself, I turn to the next best thing - watching tv shows on Netflix. Yes, I know, too much tv...blah blah blah. 

Just let me explain myself

I have discovered (ok, technically I didn't discover this, but just hear me out) a tv show that has grabbed my attention and won't let go, and I don't want it to. I swear I'm in love, but again it is just a show. Only those that understand, would have guessed by now just reading the title of this blog, and yes, you're right! The name of that show is:

It has fascinated me in every episode! It's extraordinary!! Absolutely brilliant! You should seriously look into it, I'm not trying to make you into a fan, but if you love sci-fi movies/shows/anything then you might really enjoy watching the story unfold! 

David Tennant, if you're reading this, you were my favorite! I absolutely loved your take on the doctor and I was sad when you regenerated, but Matt Smith, you're doing a great job!! 

I am now a Doctor Who fan and plan to convert my friends (just a little warning)

  

Disclaimer: I was not manipulated in any way to write this review of Doctor Who, this is just my honest opinion. Just making sure that all of you know that I will not in any way try to manipulate you into watching this show.*

*I lied, you have to watch it. At least one episode. Please :)
