It's Pinteresting Tuesday!

9 more days.

4 more finals.

1 more day of classes.

The end of the semester is in sight!

You know what today is...

(or maybe you don't read my blog every week...)

...actually, you probably don't.

So maybe you don't know what today is...

That's okay though... Cause you know I'm going to tell you.

Are you ready?

Sit down, it's pretty exciting...

Okay okay fine.. I'll just tell you.

It's Pinteresting Tuesday!

{did I talk it up more than I should have..?}

Oh well! Happy Tuesday loves.

One:

I think everyone has nerdy tendencies. Mine come out (...more than normal... because they come out a lot.) when I see, or am doing crafts. Sometimes I wish people liked nerdy things as much as I do, so I could a) make adorable necklaces like this for them, and b) so they would make them for me. Mark my words, I will make this and if you are the lucky one to get it... you better be thankful! 

Two:

Apparently today is my nerdy day. I am the kind of person who would think this is really cool. And I do. Only now I can't make one.. because I just showed all of you... and it would be pointless because it's no longer a secret. Me and my big mouth.

Three:

Hey, why slow down on the nerdiness right now? Yes, I think these are awesome. I want kids just so I can make these right now. (Which is why I don't need kids right now.. because that's not a good enough reason.)

Four:

Have I told you that I'm obsessed with all things "husband and wife?"

Five:

Recently found on Pinterest that coconut milk helps hair grow long! I am dying for my hair to grow by the wedding day! I just may have to try this. I'll let you know how research goes!

Six:

I love this so much.

Seven:

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I just had to. I'm really not into swearing, but come on! This is hilarious. I do not know anything funnier than watching someone fall... and this caught it mid face-plant. Priceless.

How is the week treating you?

Question: Do you have any hair growth secrets you know about?!

Question: When do your secret nerdy tendencies come out?

With Love,

That's so Pinteresting.

Pinteresting Tuesday, on schedule!

Hey loves, how is your week starting off?

Mine is wonderful!

We start Thanksgiving break in less than a week..

Wendy comes in tomorrow...

And wedding dress trying on Friday as well!

Just a few more days left to push through!

So many Pinterests for me this week... How about you?

One:

So there are obviously many reasons I am PUMPED to get married. And for the most part I don't care much about presents. (I mean don't get me wrong, who doesn't love presents?) Anyway, the one gift I have assured Matt we have to ask for is a KitchenAid. They are amazing. And I have literally been waiting my whole life to get one. I have always said I would wait until I am married to get one, since it's too spendy for my pocketbook and it is the perfect gift. This one, is one of the many color combinations that I am loving. With the decals! 

Two:

Confession time... I have a minor girl crush of Zooey Deschanel. I love her voice so much. And I love 500 Days of Summer (yeah, it's that depressing odd-ball movie that most of you probably didn't like). So I knew when I heard she had a new show coming out this fall that I would love it! She is such a goof and the show is of course hilarious! New Girl. Have you seen it? 

Three:

So you know how no one ever likes to read when they have all the free time in the world to do so? Well I have recently got the strong desire to read. Noooooo I couldn't spend the last year of my life while I had no school and all the free time I wanted to to read, I would wait until I am slammed with school work and have no free time. But I did find this list on Pinterest of 1001 books to read before you die... And reading every Jane Austen book written is officially moving to my bucket list!

Four: 

I have been on such a baking frenzy lately. All I want to do is bake, and make food for everyone to enjoy. Does this happen to everyone when they get engaged? Anyway, I have been wanting an apron (why? Because I'm a mess... and because they're cute) This is one definitely in the running!

Five:

Now I'm not one to call a kid homely... but this poor guy just has no chance... His parents have to hate him for giving him that haircut! ;] Not only is the kid hilarious, but then you see the alpaca(llama?) in the background... What is wrong with that thing?! I dare you not to laugh at this!!

On that note I'm out to make "stuffing" for hall Thanksgiving dinner. 

{stuffing is in quotations because we have no stuffing mixture... so instead we are putting butter and garlic salt on wheat toast and calling it stuffing... shhh, they will never notice!}

What was Pinteresting to you this week?

Happy Tuesday,

Trip Lee.

Hey ya'll!

Alright today is a lot less about me and a lot more about the guy who wrote the post I want you to read.

My good friend Nate, introduced me to some awesome Christian rap not too long ago.

Like I have said before, I enjoy being introduced to new artists and new genres of music.

Like with Matt's screamo, some of the rapper's lyrics are life changing.

I'm going to be honest, some of it just isn't doing it for me.

Trip Lee is one of these guys.

To Nate's disappointment, I told him Trip's voice just wasn't my favorite.

In order to persuade me otherwise, he directed me to his blog.

The more I read about him, the more I realized that this guy was one Godly dude. 

I loved this post that Nate directed me to.

Check out what Trip Lee has to say about marraige.

Hope you all enjoy it too!

Relax for a day,

Are You Pinterested?

Pinteresting Tuesday week two!

Hope you are all proud of my update frequency! Keep on commenting, it is encouraging! 

 One:

I have never been really passionate about getting a tattoo. Some are cool. but I've never thought "I need this on my body forever" This tattoo though is the first I've seen that has made me think... I could live with that for the rest of my life. I love the font and even the words. I would get mine on the side of my hand though. And probably a bible verse instead of "no fear." I'm still not set on one, but this definitely opened my mind to the possibility of a tattoo.

Two:

 Once again I am stuck thinking about my future home with my future husband(!!!!). I love love love this wall paper. I love the dark color for the walls with the brighter colored furniture and accents. Is it too girly for a husband/wife room though...? What are your thoughts?

Three:

Since getting engaged I have been trying to keep my nails in tip top shape. (Which I've always failed miserably at in the past.) I absolutely LOVE the trend right now of matte nails! And this mixture of both looks so fun! Someone needs to get me Matte Magic... or better yet, I need a job so I can get it myself!

Four:

Ah, this makes me want to get married like now. Such a wonderful picture! Cannot wait for our day!

Five:

And again... we need a funny addition, right? I don't know why the baby pictures are the ones that have been cracking me up so much... but come on, this is hilarious! It really makes me want to know what happened to cause such passionate reactions, am I right?

I love that I get to share my Pinterests with you all! 

Time for me to get off the computer and into my textbooks, I need to know all the bones in the body and their markings by tomorrow morning at 8. Livin' the life I tell you!

Enjoy, and find me on Pinterest!

Love y'all (a little southern charm?),

Mental Health Day.

School has been CRAZY.

I am 98% sure every teacher on campus decided that they were all going to plan their first tests to be in the same week so that I and every other student is stressed out of their minds!

Next week I have 5 tests and 2 quizzes!

Kill me now.

Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays my classes after 11 are easy and relaxed. So today I took it upon myself to take  mental health day. Basically I went back to my dorm and slept for 4 hours.

I don't regret it nor feel bad about it because i needed it! Lack of sleep does not do me any good.

Besides that, we have a football game this Saturday!! I am pumped to go and tailgate before! My dorm is having a bake-off and I plan on making these little guys... (Thanks to Pinterest for finding me that)

And I plan on destroying the competition.

Who doesn't like cupcakes? And who doesn't like oreos? No way to go wrong.

Matt and I got off campus this weekend and went to his family friend's house. It was just nice to get out of our dorms for a night and get away. After too long, college starts to seem kinda like a summer camp. I just don't feel like anyone is supposed to be in such a small place for so long! Even an awesome place like Liberty.

Which is why we are prayin' hard about our car situation. Or lack there of. To bring Tyrone (my car), get a new one, or sell Tyrone so we can buy a nicer car for here? We will see.

On the brighter side, my loved ones have been keeping their promises and keeping up on sending me snail mail! I so love receiving letters and care packages! Keep them comin' people! And I will gladly send responses.

This week started Matt and my official workout routine! Gettin' nice and in shape for a wedding next summer! I'll let you know how long this lasts and just how effective it is.

Tonight our campus pastor Clayton King started the semester series on relationships! Tonight was a great start and I am excited and ready to get into the tough details of marraige! Let's do it!

I'm still missing home, but every day is a little better!

Keep me in your prayers, school is kickin' my butt right now! I will be sure to update more frequently once I get a better routine going!

Question of the Day: What are your recipes that you pull out for every special event to wow people?
loves.
