Weddings Galore!

So this past weekend was my friend, Trista's, wedding. I was a bridesmaid in the wedding and I am so happy that I was able to do that for her. It was a beautiful wedding, and everything went just perfect. I looked pretty good too =). It made me really excited for my other friend, Tiffany's, wedding which is this summer. I am the maid of honor in that wedding, and I am very much looking forward to all the festivities for her wedding! Both of these weddings are making me think about what I want and don't want in my own wedding. Which is good I guess, it seems like that's all that has been on my mind lately. So right now I pretty much have my picture perfect wedding in my head, and all I'm missing is a groom. Hopefully he will come some day. I know God is preparing both me and my future husband right now for each other, so it can be that much more special when we find each other.

Now that the wedding is done though, I have the rest of my break to just lay back and relax and enjoy Christmas, and spending time with friends and family. I have so many books that I am reading right now, and want to read in the next couple weeks. I am looking forward to reading them without having to worry about school, or textbooks on the side. That is all for now really, I don't have much going on in my life right now to blog about, which is a-ok by me!

My Semester is DONE!

I am DONE with my first semester! I don't even know how well I did on my finals, but right now I can't even care, because it just feels so good to be done and stress free of school for 5 whole weeks! I got to come home today, or should I say I got to come to my parent's house today? I guess I technically have 2 homes, and they both feel like home to me. It is good to be home, and just relax and enjoy the Christmas holiday. Once I am done with the wedding this weekend I will be able to relax EVEN more.

Last Wednesday night I slipped on the stairs and fell pretty hard, bruising my tailbone pretty hard. And it has hurt ever since, some days very badly. It hurts to sit down and stand up, it hurts to lay flat on my back, it hurts to climb stairs, and get into my car, it hurts to even bend over to pick something up. It seems like every little thing I have to do turns into a big task, which frustrates me sometimes. I just hope the pain goes away soon, because it hurts more than anything I've ever experienced!

And something that I am very much looking forward to is at the end of this month, right before Christmas, my aunt and uncle and two little cousins are coming out to visit us for Christmas! I have not seen them in a very long time, and I am so excited to spend some time with them, and celebrate Christmas with them!

The shootings at New Life Church have been on my mind A LOT over the past couple of days. I could write a whole blog just about my feelings towards that. In fact, maybe I will tomorrow. It was a scary and sad thing that happened, at the church I go to, and so close to my home! Maybe I can work myself up to writing about this in the next couple of days. Until then, this is all for now.

One Armed Barbie

It's wordless Wednesday! And even though there is a long story behind this ornament (why she doesn't have an arm), I can't share it =) Because I can't use words. Maybe I will share the story sometime closer to Christmas. But in the meantime, this was my favorite Christmas ornament growing up. And in fact, still is my favorite.

Tuesday Night Thoughts

Yay! Classes are officially over in a week from tomorrow! And then I have a whole 5 weeks off to do absolutely nothing! Well maybe not nothing, but at least no school work =) And I switched my major to Geography so I will NEVER have to take another English class again in my life! I'm so excited and thrilled that I don't have to worry about that!

I had dinner with one of my old roommates tonight. And it was weird and good at the same time. Weird because aren't close anymore, and our friendship might be reached its limit. And at the same time it was good to catch up. Her and one of my other roommates from last year are both transferring to CU Boulder next year. I hope they are happy there, but at the same time I will miss not having them here.

As far as my roommates now go, they are still great! There are a few problems there with one of them, but roommates can't be perfect all the time. I'm still so thankful that God put me in this house with these girls. I couldn't be happier and I can see these friendships turning into life long friendships.

One of my bestest friends ever, Trista, is getting married in a few weeks. And I am in the wedding! I am soo happy for her and I hope the wedding goes well. Another best friend, Tiffany, is getting married over the summer too. I have heard a lot of other people who are getting married too. Why does everyone feel like they need to marry so young? Some of these couples have only known each other for a few months, and it just seems crazy to me sometimes that they are about to make a life long commitment with somebody who they have only known a few months. But what do I know? I guess when you find "the one", you just know. I hope it's like that for me. But I know that I will know him and date him for more than just a few months before I decide to get married. I can't wait until my wedding =) I just know that God is preparing both me and my future husband for each other, and when we find each other, it will be great!

I've also been reading a lot more lately. I know I probably shouldn't be reading as much as I am, with finals and everything. But I've just found some really good books, and I can't stop! I love getting wrapped up in a story, and forgetting my own life just for a little while. It's one of the best feelings in the world! And I just love a good book!

That's all for today. Those are just some of the thoughts going through my head at the moment, and I felt like I should write them down, since I know I don't blog as much as I should. But maybe that will start to change, and I might start blogging more...maybe. Keep an eye out though! ;-)
