thankfulness // things

As anyone who is conscious knows, tomorrow is Thanksgiving! I'm am posting here on my little plot of internet everything I am thankful for, but since there are so many I will break it up into two categories: things and people! Here's the first installment!

~ Most importantly I am thankful for my salvation and knowing that even thought I am a sinner, Jesus has saved me! Hallalujah!
~ I am so thankful for a place to live and a bed of my own and food on our table. We are so fortunate.
~ Music. I know this is a wierd one, but music is just something I love and am thankful for because when there are no words to describe how you feel, music just takes care of that!
~ Education. I know it's expensive and most of the time a lot of hard work, but I am thankful for the chance to pursue my dream career!
~ My car. Over the summer I traded in my old car and got a nicer one. I am so thankful, now that the weather is turning a bit more winterlike that I have a car whose heat actually works and won't just stop running on Sunshine and won't overheat!
~ My church (more on this in the people section)
~ My computer! :)
~ My health. I am not the most fit person, but I am glad that I have the ability to go to class and not rely on handicap accessible buildings, and I am thankful that I have my sight and hearing!


Well, as of right now I can't think of anything else without repeating the things I have said or leaking into tomorrow's post, so right now, I am going to go decorate a Christmas tree and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving Eve!!!

Festive Flashback!

Well, it has been quite a while since I posted a flashback. I have just been so tired of making DVDs and in such a hurry at work, I just haven't wanted to do it. BUT! This one DVD had so many cool vintage photos that I couldn't resist and I thought I would show you!

Isn't this lady's hair amazing??! And that dress is so cute!

This is absolutely the perfect photo. The scenery in the background, the dress, the hair, and the road just brings this all together. If I had a band, I would use some variation of this for my album art, for sure!

This was a picture from her wedding day. I love the flowery touch!

Well I hope you enjoyed these pics as much as I did!

I also made a super secret Christmas project for my co-worker, Christina., and it turned out great! I am officially on Thanksgiving break now and I am LOVING it! Last night I never did get my homework done, but I literally have all week to do it!! :)

Have a great break!

Perfect timing!

This Thanksgiving break came about at just the right time! I am so burnt out on school, it's not even funny. Tonight I am going to (try to) finish all my homework for break so I don't have to worry about any for the rest of break! Today, we got our 5th organic tests back and it was pretty brutal. The bad new? I did horrible. The good news? Everyone else in the class did horrible as well, and moreso than myself (for the most part). If he didn't grade on a curve, I actually would have failed, I did so bad. I got a 42%! Eeeeep!!! But, on the curve, I got a B because our class average was 36!! It was so extremely terrible that I just couldn't do anything but sit and laugh at it. I am pretty stoked that I have all of break to do my corrections, though! Cool, huh!

I am just so ready for Christmas break, it's not even funny!!! I am already ahead of the game Christmas shopping too! I only have three gifts left to buy and then goodies to make, but that will wait until after school is out. I am even done filling out my Christmas cards!!! I just  can't tell you how excited I am for this holiday! Oh, and not to mention, 12 days until the Dixie Stampede!!!  Anywho, I'm going to get a head start on my break homework, but I will be visiting more soon! I will have TONS of free time!!! :)

Well, it is getting to be Christmas time once again! I'm sitting here listening to Mallory's Christmas playlist! I have already begun buying Christmas gifts! In fact, I only have 3 left to buy! Today my mom said she wanted to put up her new Christmas tree. We'll see if that ever happened lol. I'm going crazy over all the Christmas things coming up! Here are just a few of the up and coming Christmas events!

1.) A James River Christmas! ~ I am playing violin in the Wilson's Creek Campus production of A James River Christmas and I'm super stoked! Not to mention it will be great to no thave to work all those nights we have rehearsal! I love playing Christmas music!

2.) Dixie Stampede! ~ Our college class at church is going to the Dixie Stampede for our Christmas event and I am SOOOOO excited! I have never been to their Christmas show!

3.) Lady's Luncheon at Antioch! ~ My mom, every year, want me to go to this thing at their church, even though I don't even go there anymore. We have a yummy lunch and play a game with $5 gifts. I hae already bought mine! Then that evening, my mom, brother (possibly dad), and I are going to the Christmas show of the Baldknobbers! Yay!

These are just a few things that I am doing this Christmas season! What are you doing?!

Also, I can't wait until Thanksgiving break! Two more days!

Blog Resurrection!

I haven't been on blogger in quite some time, but I think that it's time to come back. There are just some certain things you can't do on Tumblr. So I am just warning you that you will see a lot more of me on here and more links on Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. I just like that there are so many more things to customize here. So, for now I will just tell you, not to mention that there is a new name coming too!!!! (Sorry, I get excited over silly things lol)

I guess that's why they call this love.

I don't know what has happened. I obviously don't understand what you two have. Or had. But I can tell you one thing.  I. Don't. Like. It. Over the past year you have changed so stinkin' much I don't even recognize you anymore. I really really liked you. I still really care for you and that's my problem. I let myself down cause no one ever cares for me like I do for them. So I am stopping the bus right here. I'm done. I'm looking out for myself when I say that I will never ever like you again nor anyone else like that. The end.

Nerd alert!

I seriously think I am the biggest nerd ever! I am thoroughly enjoying Organic Chemistry at this point. We have had two classes, only one of which was a lecture, but I am loving taking my notes outside of class and doing the homework and even working ahead, doing the practice problems and studying for our first test. Seriously, I am enjoying my organic homework. Wierd, I know. The other homework I have is just homework. Obligatory. Not organic. I am doing for fun. To pass the time. I think this will be a busy, yet wonderful year. :)

In other news, I got 3rd chair in orchestra for the second year in a row. I am just glad I have not moved back any. The music is pretty enjoyable we are playing this year. Also, I am so glad that babysitting is over. Hallelujah!! Anyway, I should get back to homework, but I just wanted everyone to know that I am officially a nerd. :) The end.

Hope your first week back to school was a grand one!
