Sometimes life can throw you a curve ball....

So last night started out to be pretty crappy...I had spent all day sitting at my computer working on this huge paper thing for a class. That put me in a blah mood to begin with and then I just was kinda annoyed with certain people which made me in a worse mood. I ended up sitting in my room cross-stitching on a friday night almost in tears because I was hating being at HU (which is rare cuz i love HU). I felt like everyone else was doing fun things but me. Pretty much I was feeling sorry for myself which is never a good thing.

Then as the night progressed I ended up hanging out with Carrie and her two friends that were visting. It was pretty chill and laughter filled. Carrie made Fricker Dip (which is sooooo good). ANd we just kind of sat around and talked most of the night. I then watched relaxed by myself and watched August Rush.

In high school I was kind of what some people might call a "floater." I never really had 1 set group of people that I hung out; I just kind of was friends with everyone and hung out with whoever. This brought up the problem that I was never really close friends with a group of people and when people planned things I never really got called. People enjoyed me....but I was never really thought of when people were calling people to do stuff. (that was a huge ramble that makes sense to me but may not make sense to anyone else hehe). Sometimes I feel that way at HU. Especially on the weekends. My friends who have boyfriends do stuff with them....My friends who play soccer hang out with soccer people....and so forth and so on.

Last night I felt like was one of those nights. But in the end God reminded me that I need to realize that it is a gift I have to be able to get along well with so many different people. I get the chance to get to know some many different people and never have trouble getting to know new people!

That was a really long ramble and I apologize if it made no sense to you....it makes perfect sense to me and I needed to get stuff off my chest!

And now a random picture.....

Terrific Tuesday!

I kind of like tuesdays...don't ask me why...i just do. I wore my new shoes today and felt totally happy. Any day that I wear new shoes is a good day in my book! And now in honor of the new shoe day...I will spill upon you some of my favorite shoe quotes:

"What becomes of the broken-hearted? They buy shoes." -Mimi Pond

"These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it." -Charles Barkley

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile way and you have their shoes." -Author unknown

"Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels." ~Faith Whittlesey

"A man hasn't got a corner on virtue just because his shoes are shined." ~Anne Petry

"Shopping tip: You can get shoes for 85 cents at the bowling alley." ~Author Unknown

"High heels were invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead." ~Christopher Morley

"I don't know who invented the high heel, but all men owe him a lot." ~Marilyn Monroe

I get a kick out of new kicks!

Part of my spring break my mom and I headed to Chicago to go shopping. I love shopping probably more than any one person should! We are hardcore thrifters and love used clothes and shoes! I hit the jackpot at the thrift stores getting a lot of really cute things! a pair of brown boots, loafers, a couple of shirts, an American eagle sweatshirt (only 1.30...brilliant).

Then we headed to schaumburg, Illinois becasue my mom wanted to go to ikea! i love to love ikea! If you have never been there you need to go....three floors of awesomeness.

We also stopped at Marshalls and Nordstrom Rack (which is an outlet store for nordstroms). I got a few things there. I got a sweet pair of Nike kicks! Love them and can not wait to rock them!

Over all it was a brilliant trip!

SB 09...looking fine!

I have offically 2 classes and a practicum before I leave HU and head home for a week! I hope I make it! haha I can not wait to be home even though I have a pretty busy Spring Break, it will still be good to be home!

Weekend Craziness!

Ah, the joys of Monday...SIKE! I did have a glorious weekend filled with fun though!

Friday-I worked which is good because I love money! Then after work I went to Pizza Hut with Cass, Em, and Court which was fun because we got to have some girl time! When I got back I went on an adventure to Subway with Honeycutt, Makula, Jake, and Trevor. What was I thinking?!? It was crazy, but lots of fun! Side Note- I got ordained online Friday night! (not sure how legit but still!)

Saturday- I got up late which is always amazing. I then proceeded to watch all four karate kid movies! Ale and Shannon watched a few with me! We then went to Goodwill...which I love. I bought a rockin Mickey Mouse sweatshirt which I sported today to class! Then at night I helped organize and participated in a super fun scavenger hunt! Loved it!

Sunday- Went to The Chapel in Ft. Wayne with a whole bunch of people for church. It was a really good message on healing. I then came back and cleaned our room, watched fireproof with Brittany, did some HW , and took a nap! I also went to see slumdog millionare with Em. It was wonderful! I recomend it to everyone!

And now it is Monday....uggggg! But this week my friends Nick and Lance will be visiting which gives me something to look forward to! I hope everyone had a wonderful start to their week!
