Twenty-one Days.

So I'm a planner maniac.

I find peace in planning out what is to come with my day, week, month, year, you name it.

This morning I have been filling in what needs to be done for the next several months.

What I am realizing is how awesome it is that I come home in exactly 21 days.

Wanna see what my life looks like until I come home? 

(Probably not. But this is my blog and I do what I want) ;]

April 20:

Mark Driscoll comes to Convocation.

(You bet it's in my planner. And you better believe we will be going NUTS when he says "Seattle!")

April 22: 

Beach Volleyball game!

(Against death from above... that's intimidating)

April 25:

Lab practical for Anatomy Lab.

April 26:

Research Paper Due.

(The one I spent literally 9 hours working on all yesterday)

April 29:

Volleyball finals!

(West Coast-Best Coast!)

May 1: 

Last day of official classes!

May 3-7:

Finals :\

May 10: 

On a flight out of Lynchburg to SeaTac at 5:30 am.

(The whole gang is flying together--Matt, Ky, Ry, myself and Sarah!)

(Sarah is all of our friend who is in both weddings!)

That's it my friends! 

How are your classes/work going?

Since I only have 21 days until I get back to good ol' Enumclaw, I am making some 21 day goals for myself! (Because like I have said in the past, 21 days makes a habit).

Here they are:

One: 

Workout every single day!

(So far this week I have awaken early so I can get in a quick work out before class... Yes, I think I deserve a high five for that one. It's actually given me tons more energy than I have when I don't do that, so I've been popping out of bed at the first sound of my alarm!)

Two:

(I have $54 in my checking account... My goal is to not dip into my savings in order to sustain my life for the next 3 weeks. Impossible you say? We'll see, I am a college kid you know? We're extra talented at finding creative ways to save money. And there is a plasma bank in town... I could always donate some plasma to make $40. Yeah, that might be going too far.)

Three:

(Note: This is not a goal by choice, but more of no other option. I only have 3 more free drink cards for the campus Starbucks and then I'm done with coffee until I get home or someone else wants to buy me coffee... Bad time to run out of coffee money right before finals!)

Four:

(ROCK my finals!)

How I love plans and how I love feeling ready for what is to come!!

Lets kill it the next 21 days!

Get Me OUT OF HERE!

So we officially have 18 days until finals here at Liberty.

What does that mean? That means campus is BUZZING with a serious "Get me out of here!" attitude. I am no exception to that.

Some awesome parts about this semester include the fact that it went by really fast (until now of course, which seems to be dragging on.)

We've had the house and a car so we've gotten the privilege of not being on campus 24/7 like last semester. 

(TRUST ME this is a very very awesome part.)

Ry and Ky are here which is really great :]

Pretty much everything this semester has been about 100% better than last!

(And I definitely didn't hate last semester, so that means this one has been AWESOME)

However, I have 3 weddings including my own coming this summer, it's nice and sunny every day, and I could really go for some cash income as of right now. All of these factor into me dying to get out of school and on with the summer!

So here are some things I'd rather be doing than school work!

One:

Camping... Please.

Two:

Eating more West Coast sushi. 

Not to mention coffee. 

(how I love coffee)

Three:

The Warrior Dash.

This looks so awesome.

Four:

The Color Run.

(Sadly it's full back in Seattle :[ )

Five:

Now doesn't this just look dreadful?

Six:

I'm dying to try paddle boarding!

Sadly, we have no real oceans in Seattle ;]

Seven:

Hang out with this guy.

Eight:

Sit on this cliff.

(haha just kidding, you should know by now that I'd rather die than do ^^ that!)

Well guys, this was the lamest way I've avoided math homework via blog so far.
Sorry you have to waste your time on this :]

So Close to the End,

Pinteresting Tuesday: Spring Fashion.

So I didn't get around to posting some house pictures.

Are you even surprised?

Didn't think so.

I'll get to it soon though I promise!

Since today is Pinteresting Tuesday I think it is the perfect day to show some Spring/Summer fashion statements I am completely obsessed with right now. 

Maxi Dresses:

I have a serious addiction to maxi dresses right now. 

I literally think I could wear one every single day.

Only, I need to own one to do that.

hmm... I need to fix that.

Fringe Bathing Suits:

I will need one of these for summer.

But I can only get one if I get into the shape I want to be in!

Bribery you call it? Heck yes it is!

Bright Prints:

I love these bright colors! 

What better time to rock prints than summer?

Note: I also really really really want the dress on the left.

Shoes:

I love sandals right now!

I also love wedges... But I can't pull those off quite so well.

Hair:

Loving beachy hair and as always hair scarfs!

Humor:

This has absolutely nothing with summer or fashion... but it's Pinteresting Tuesday and you need a good laugh, don't we all?

Oh man guys I am so excited for summer! 

How about you?

What are you fashion obsessions for spring/summer?

Live Beautifully,

Pinteresting Tuesday!

Sorry about the bleak blogging.

It's been crazy getting all settled in here at school and I'm having a hard time finding time to update!

You know I can't miss Pinteresting Tuesday though right? 

One:

So today was so nice out that I am just about ready for summer... Which means I need to do this. Just looks like yarn and string... I'll keep you updated.

Two:

How to get seeds of a pomegranate out without staining everything and popping them! (The Pinterest title wasn't quite so long... but that's mine) Go here and find out how! 

Three:

I've kind of been wanting some colored jeans... What do you think of these? Or maybe another color? Thoughts?

Four:

I kind of hate heights. (In case you've never heard that). But this is so sweet and romantic and I just want it to be summer so we can do this!

Five:

1) I kind of am in love with the "Sexy and I Know It Song" by LMFAO. I think it's hilarious. 2) This dog is adorable, which makes want him. 3) The dog + the song= hilarious and adorable.

Happy Tuesday!

I'll try to keep up better this week.

Lots of Love,

Summer Faves.

I don't think I am the only girl in the world who loves to shop, and I wont appologize for it!

I feel like every season a new list of "wants" come to me. Am I alone here?

This summer I have been obsessed with a few items..

1. These Salomon Trail Runners. I'm obsessed.
2. Chandeliers. Why? I really don't know. But anything that has a chandelier involved quickly becomes something I like.
3. IPhone. I got one finally--and I love it.
4. My brand-spankin-new Maui Jim Palms.
5. Braids. Basically any kind. But I am especially Impressed with the Waterfall Braids currently!
6. Garage Sales! Such a wonderful world of surprises :]
7. Journaling. For any reason at all. And I love new journals, so I tend to make a new journal for every different occasion I possibly can. But come on, there's no better feeling than finishing with your last page on a journal!
8. HIKING! We leave for Beyond Malibu in about 2 weeks! And I cant wait!
9. Healthy Recipes and workout plans! I've officially lost 15 lbs this summer! And It just makes me want to keep going!
10. Doing things I never thought I would. <3

Since I haven't been around to keep up on updating, here are some pictures from my summer so far

I love summer. Whether we get any sun or not! So many amazing more events to come this summer. I cant wait to tell you all about them <3

A Case of the Mondays.

This girl has got a case of the Mondays.. and I didn't even have to work today!

It feels like everyone in my life is gone this week.

1. My family is at a family reunion.
2. Matt and his family is camping at Moses Lake.
3. My Younglife crew is at Malibu.

so basically... I AM BORED.

Since I am so bored, I have spent some quality online browsing/shopping time!
(P.S. me being bored is not a good thing for my bank account!)

I have got a chance to finally catch back up with some of my favorite blogs!

Including: La La Lovely, It's a Love Story, my good friend, Vicki's blog, my favorite Paleo blog, and a fun friend's blog!

Something else I have run into recently, is Pinterest!!
I just learned about this website a week ago, and I am currently obsessed. You can follow me here!
Love, love, love.

Also, like I said I have made some purchases...
In light of summer (though we have not seen it yet here in good ol' Enumclaw, they promise it's coming!)

1. I bought myself a Victoria's Secret bathing suit.. oops. But it was on sale... Does that make it more forgivable..? It's adorable, and zebra (because i LOVE zebra), and I cant wait to get it!
2. I bought these Athleta capris. They are super cute. And I will be able to wear them for hiking, work, and just to look cute.. cute but logical. Necessary.

Now if only the sun would come out I could use these newly found treasures...

Until next time, loves.
