Brother's Day.

After a wonderful dedication of my high school football field for a friend who died last summer, I went out to celebrate my brother's 24th birthday. 

I got home around 4am this morning and this is how I feel already.


I can't hang like I used to.

Dad's Day

Taking the day off to celebrate my dad's birthday with the family.
While his birthday was on Thursday, he and my mom had just gotten back from vacation so we decided to celebrate with the whole family a few days later so they could unwind from their trip and get back into routine. 
I can't wait to celebrate the life of this amazing man who raised me - and I also can't wait to eat the delicious strawberry shortcake my mom made :D

I pray you all have a wonderful weekend full of love, light and laughter.


Pictures do the deliciousness no justice

A Much Needed Escape

As most of you know, I've been studying my life away for the past 8 months. I've had weeks where I felt like jumping off a bridge 6 times over (don't worry, I would never) and many mornings where I contemplated not getting out of bed and just dropping out of school.

Though I always know that God's plan is SO much better and greater than anything I could plan for myself, it's moments like those above that I am fervently praying to Him to please keep reminding me of this. To be honest, I'm also crazily praying for a moment to myself where I don't have to study and can enjoy one of these beautiful, sunny days (which has been quite rare here in Athens). And of course, He always delivers. 

Not only did I get a weekend where I didn't have a quiz or test to study for, I also got TWO sunny days!

Praise Him.

So, Thursday I went running since it was beautiful out and then straightened my hair. That night I went out with my old college roommate to celebrate her birthday and catch up since we hadn't seen each other in a few months.





Friday, my friend Brittany got us great tickets to go to the Hawks v. Pelicans game and we decided to maximize our time out by going to the mall and Atlantic Station prior, and out to get drinks/dance afterward. 







Then Saturday and Sunday I spent with my family and dogs.
Not one book was opened.
Not one grade was looked at.
Not one paragraph of my research paper was typed (oops...)
'Twas bliss.



Just for kicks, here is how many steps I took IN HEELS on Friday...

Let's just say, that these lil piggies hurt BAD.
 Ah well, it's the price I decided to pay.

I hope y'all had a wonderfully blessed and relaxing weekend!

Weekend Round Up: Birthday Girl

This weekend was TOO much fun!
Many of you may or may not know how old I am.
You may speculate that I am 23, 24…
Well, you're wrong. I just rang in my 21st birthday yesterday!

For my birthday, some of my good friends came into town to celebrate in good ol' Athens. Next weekend, I'll be in Atlanta so you'll see all of those pictures too. Note, this is a slightly picture heavy post. Sorry not sorry.



Sissy gave me a g/c to Anthro!

First real drink I made
Truth or Dare/Drunk Jenga. Try it.

Take a shot with a DJ (and a picture)


More pictures to come.. I'm just waiting on them to come to me! What did you do this weekend?

Birthday Wish List

With my birthday just 5 short days away, I finally know what I want… Besides a nice drink and a new tattoo.

I would LOVE an outfit for New Years (which I *fingers crossed* will be spending in New Orleans!) and shoes that I actually need for my birthday outfit. The dresses are from LuLu's and the shoes are Steve Madden. Of course. 


Does anyone still buy outfits specifically for their birthday or any holiday for that fact? Or am I alone on this?
Which dress/romper is your favorite? Which do you think I should get?
