yes. i realize just how sad the title to this is. but rest assured, the content isn't nearly as pathetic. at least, i hope it isn't. you shall have to let me know, k?
first off: the drive-in movie was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. when i grow up, i want a giant, outdoor screen in my backyard! oh my goodness...i can't get over how much fun it was. we had to get there early to find a parking space, cause that place filled up quickly. anyhow, while we waited for the movie to start, seth and i sat in his truck, windows rolled down, radio on and playing music from the 50s and snacked on skittles. :sigh: it was great. the movies were also pretty good, but the outdoors atmosphere-gosh, it was perfect.
secondly: this week, i did something pretty big-i changed my college major! whoah, right? my thoughts exactly! what happened to being called to teach, you may ask (which is a very legit question!). well, it's still there. i hope to use my degree to teach some form of language arts, so i'll still be pursuing the calling which GOD has given me. i am very excited about the english major, though. the classes i will have to take are right up my alley. i love to write, so all these composition classes are going to be a welcome challenge! that's what i'm hoping, anyways.
thirdly: um...actually, there is no "thirdly". instead, i shall bow out gracefully! have a great day, y'all! :)
p.s: did y'all know that there were monopoly world championships? who knew?!?!

guess what i'm doing this weekend....
....i'm crossing an item off my bucket list! no, i'm not dyeing my hair or travelling to europe<<although that would be super amazing! nope...something way better than changing my hair color, though slightly less exciting than travelling the globe: i'm going to a drive-in movie! yay! i am so excited! i've been wanting to do this for a good while, but the opportunity never arose. until now.
see, i've been spending my summer with my brother. i came home with him after my graduation party (which he suprised me by coming down for! oh my goodness...best part of my graduation!) and have been living with him for the past 2 months. well, he came home from work the other day and announced that we were going to make a trip to the drive-in. i was so excited. i didn't even know there was a drive in around here, so it made for a very nice surprise. icing on the cake: we're grabbing us some chinese food before the movies (it's a double feature!) start.
yeah. i'm pretty thrilled.
it's going to be a good weekend.

My Life...A-Z
So I ran across this really neat idea over at this cute little blog (and I must urge you to check it out!-good stuff, peoples!). I have been fairly stumped on what to blog about, so this A-Z project was a breath of fresh air.
Let's begin. :)
A//Available or Married?
Hmmm....how about neither? Haha. I am single (give me a break, I'm 18!) and I don't believe that's a bad thing. I've got Jesus, my family, friends, and a Starbuck's giftcard-I'm content. ;)
B//Books?
Shamed to say, I am not doing a great deal of reading at the moment. I am reading through the book of Matthew and Oswald Chamber's "My Utmost for His Highest" (and I certainly think that should count for SOMETHING! ;)), but otherwise, not too much happening in the area of literature.
C//Cake or Pie?
Oh.my.goodness. Not a good time to be asking such questions. I've been on a semi-healthy eating kick (I say "semi" cause this girl is still treating herself to some ice-cream!), and anymore, all I'm craving are unhealthy, empty, sugary carbs-like cake or pie. ;) Anyhooo...back to the question at hand. If push came to shove, I think I'd side with cake. Cake just covered in creamy, delish frosting. ::Sigh::
D//Drink of choice?
Sweet tea. The drink choice of every good southern belle. ;)
E//Essiential Item?
My glasses. I'm kind of blind without them.
F//Favorite Color?
Oh I don't have a favorite color. I like them all. :) I am rather partial to yellow, though. Yellow is just such a happy color.
G//Game to play or watch?
I'm pretty childish when it comes to such matters. Haha.....childish as in "Angry Birds", "Fruit Ninja", "Apples to Apples" and "Monopoly". Ok now, don't judge. They're fun.
H//Hometown?
Not something I am at liberty to disclose on the world wide web. ;)
I//Indulgance?
White chocolate mocha frappachinos from Starbucks. Oh my garsh. Love, love, love!
J//Job?
Don't have an official job, but let me tell you, being me takes plenty of hard work. It's a job in and of itself. lol.
K//Kids and names?
No...I am not married, so no, I do not have kids. BUT!-that hasn't stopped me from naming my future children. :) Currently stuck on the names Jonathan, Matthew and Kassidy.
L//Life is incomplete without?
Jesus.
M//Music groups or singers?
Chris Tomlin, Randy Travis, Tenth Avenue North, Ketih Green, Billy Joel, Casting Crowns, John Denver, :some: Taylor Swift, The Band Perry, Hank Williams Sr., Creedance Clearwater Revival..I love my music. :)
N//Number of siblings?
5 lovely sisters and a 1 lonely brother. We're a pretty fabulous group, let me tell ya! :) I'm in the middle of them all...2 older and 4 younger.
O//Oranges or apples?
Apples...even though I'm *technically* allergice to them (I know-how weird is that?). Oranges tend to be too juicy and messy for my liking. I'll stick to my tidy fruits, thankyouverymuch!
P//Phobias?
I fear failure. I fear life passing me by. I fear emptiness. I fear regret.
Q//Quotes?
So glad you asked! Just ran into a really good one tonight:
R//Reasons to smile?
Oh goodness. Family, friends, chocolate, coffee-just to name a few. God has been so good to me in my short life. I am beyond blessed.
S//Seasons?
Fall. I love the fact that there are no overwhelming heatwaves sweeping through, yet it's not stupid cold outside. Yes, fall is lovely.
T//Tatoos?
Nope. Plan to keep it that way, too.
U//Uknown fact?
I am the first college graduate in my family. Felt very blessed to be the one to claim that honor. :)
V//Vegetables you love?
Lettuce (iceberg and romaine), tomatoes, purple onions, jalapeno peppers...I like eating a rainbow of veggies.
W//Worst habit?
Soft drinks. Argh. They are my downfall.
X//X-ray you've had?
Only of my teeth. I am one of those few kids that never did break a bone growing up. I was told I had a boring childhood. :P I prefer to think of it as a less-dramatic childhood. Haha!
Y//Your favorite food?
Will I sound 5 if I say pizza? ::insert my biggest, cheesiest *no pun intended* grin:: There's very few things in life that beat a hot slice of pizza. But in the more healthier spectrum of life, I love me a good salad.
Z//Zodiac?
No clue. Don't do astrology.
And there you have it, folks! My life A to Z! I apologize for the absence of pictures...would have been nice to break all those words up. :P But my computer is not wanting me to post pictures to Blogger-and it's making me very sad. I suppose you'll just have to use this opportunity to exercise your imagination and visualize your own pictures. Yes. I know. Lamest suggestion ever. Just bear with me and my fussy computer...please?
Have a great day, lovelies! :)

Most laws condemn the soul and pronounce sentence. The result of the law of my God is perfect. It condemns but forgives. It restores - more than abundantly - what it takes away.-Jim Elliot

summertime....
summertime is here and i couldn't be more excited! after spending the last little while being caught up in all of life's crazy action, i am so excited to step back and just live. i made up a little summer bucket list and can't wait to get started on it. want take a peek at it?
summer 2013....1.go backyard camping with my little sisters.....2.beach trip with my sisters and best friends....3.coffee and shopping day with my best girl heather....4.go out for ice-cream with my 2 baby sisters....4.go see despicable me 2 with the sisters.....5.hot-dog and marshmallow roast with the family....6. read 10 by august 1st (any suggestions?)....7. movie and mall trip with my two older younger sisters.
so not too awful much...but plenty of opportunities to make some sweet, sweet memories. it's scary to think about, but this may be my last summer to really "live it up". i mean, next summer i'll more than likely be taking classes at the university, and then the next summer i'll be graduated and :gulp: out in the real world. so this summer HAS to be spectacular. i intend on taking loads of pictures, laughing lots and making tons of memories.
have a happy day, y'all! :)
