1) When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is kiss my frup, Bella Bell.

2) I can hardly wait for summer break!

3) The quickest way to my heart is compassion  because our struggles make us who we are and showing me that you aren't perfect and care about others melts my heart.

4) A little known fact about me is if I REALLY could, I would live like a hippie, on the beach, without a care in the world.

5) The best part about my job is spending my days with children and watching the progress they achieve as they learn. It's such a rewarding feeling.

6) Something I just couldn't live without is my family!

7) Something useful that I wish I knew how to do is sew. Both of my grandmothers could and I wish I would have asked them to teach me.

Am I the only one who still makes wishes at 11:11 and then kisses the clock? Does anyone else run a yellow light and once it turns red you kiss the roof of your car? When I go over railroad tracks I lift my feet and make a wish. I enjoy these little bits of excitement. Sometimes my wishes are more like prayers and other times they are simple hopes. Whatever the case I hope to never outgrow these simple things.

1) Today is great because we have a staff bowling party after school, we are The Pin-Ups!

2) Tomorrow I will drive to Pflugerville to visit my awesome sister & my precious niece Riley.

3) My favorite time of day is the morning  because it's another reminder that God is good!

4) Sometimes you just have to cry it out.

5)  A song that I cannot get enough of lately is Give Your Heart a Break by Demi Lovato.

6) My favorite accessory is/are my bracelets, they hide my scars, but not all of them, it's just another reminder that God has a purpose for me, thats what they all remind me of.

7) My favorite thing about my week was talking to my parents. It's comforting to know that my Dad is doing better and that he is still here.

I wish you all a very blessed Friday & the start of what is sure to be a fantastic weekend!

The first picture is my Parents at their wedding, the second is my handsome Daddy, and the lady with the red frame is my beloved Dicey (whom I aspire to be like), and finally that's a baby picture of yours truly.

It's Ok Thursday: 4/19/2012

So happy to have made it all the way to Thursday! What a week it has been. My insomnia is out of control. And let me tell you there is nothing to do in the middle of the night, anything on television is awful yet not boring enough to put me to sleep, and if I start reading I don't want to put the book down. Suggestions wanted!

It's Ok

...to use dry shampoo 3 days in a row (guilty)

... to have a spontaneous movie day (teachers only)

... to have a countdown of how many days until summer vacation (again, teachers only)

... to have piles upon piles of laundry

... to dream about big projects you want to accomplish yet have no idea where to start

... to get excited about the mailman mistakenly putting someone's magazine subscription in your mailbox (score)

... to be an adult napper

... to know bikini season is around the corner but you love your body and don't feel the need to change it

... to spend four dollars on Starbucks because it makes you feel better

... to keep your opinions to yourself (facebook diary)

... to pray about everything!

What are your okays for today?

*April is National child abuse prevention and awareness month. Support the cause by wearing BLUE this month.

I thought this was a fun thing for a Tuesday. I also did one of my mom.

It's very easy to do, and quick. Wishing you all a very blessed day!

Happy Friday the 13th!

1. Today is a good day because: it's Friday, duh!

2. The best thing I did all week was: sleep in!

3.  The current weather is rainy and it makes me super duper happy!

4. The best thing about spring is watching the bluebonnets and wildflowers grow and planting new colorful flowers!

5. A fashion trend I can't wait to try out is: the Aztec print phenomenon.

6. A person who made me smile this week was: my dad, I'm happy he is feeling back to normal, I'm also the most thankful for him.

7. The most delicious thing I ate all week was: homemade vegetarian lasagna made by my little sister.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance" (James 1:2-3)
