Good morning my sweet sweet friends!  I’ve been lacking greatly in the blogging department.  I’m not exactly sorry about it, but I am sad about it.  I do miss y’all dearly and I enjoyed taking some time yesterday to read a few blog posts and make a few comments.  The truth of the matter is: I don’t function very well when I’m not stable.  Right now, my life is NOT stable.  It’s a struggle for me to keep everything in line.  I don’t have a legitimate living space, I just moved everything back to my parents house for the time being, I’m living out of a suitcase for the next 2 weeks, sleeping on my sister’s couch and a friend’s couch.  I just don’t feel “stable”.  It interferes with healthy eating habits and workouts too.  Then there is blogging… oh how I’ve missed consistently blogging over the past few weeks, but I just don’t find the time to sit down and bang out a good post or read through my millions of unread bloglovin posts (seriously… it’s ridiculous how far behind I am!)  All of that to say… my life is an unstable mess haha.  I’m ok with it though, it’s a challenge and it’s out of my comfort zone, so I’m assuming God is trying to teach me something here.  I know my patience is being tested during this job search and that’s frustrating, but I’m continuing to trust.

Everything will be OKAY.

These next 2 weeks will be bitter sweet.  I have 2 weeks left as an AmeriCorps VISTA and my time here has been painful, yet rewarding.  I’m excited about entering a new chapter in my life and putting this chapter behind me, but I’ll miss the sweet friends I’ve made and I’m a little stressed over what job I’ll get or if I’ll even get one.  We are celebrating with 10 Days of VISTA and I’ll have a huge re-cap post at the end about everything we did.  Basically, we took all of our favorite things from the past year and combined them into our last 2 weeks of work and call it the “10 Days of VISTA”.  It’s a lot of fun y’all!  Yesterday we wen’t to City Bagel and had “fake icecream” (That’s what Lacy calls it, she’s bitter about it for some reason, but it’s FroYo for all you fans out there!)  We also dressed professionally.  The next days have so many fun activities involved, I just might explode!

I have quite a few posts that I need to write out, I may get those written tonight during “Blog night!”.  I need to re-cap my friends wedding I was in 2 weekends ago, it was a blast and they had a wonderful photo booth and I got some great pictures!

I’m starting to get really excited about moving to Jackson.  I have so many great ideas for living in a bigger city and I can’t wait to put those in place and see things happen.  Of course, I’ll share those with you when they do, right now they’re really just dreams and I need to find the support system to make it happen, so if you want to send up a prayer for these cool things I’m dreaming up in this little world of mine, I’d love it!

I’m considering learning HTML code and stuff so I can start designing my own blog.  I absolutely freakin’ adore my blog design, but I feel bad when I want to make changes that I can’t make myself and I have to contact my designer all the time.  I love her and she did a fantastic job, I just hate bugging her about it and she has a lot of great and happy changes going on in her life (she just had a baby!).  It could possibly turn into a mini-business also?  I don’t know, it’s just an idea.  We shall see!

Don’t forget to link-up with us for Home Town Hop next Tuesday (one week away!).  I still haven’t decided what I’m going to write about, but I’m sure I’ll come up with something super great!  I’ll also be posting matches for the Bloggers Helping Bloggers on Thursday!  I was a little sad to not see as many people sign up, but I understand that different things work for different people and so I can’t be too sad about it.  I’m really excited about the girls I have signed up for the month of August!  If you missed sign up and are still interested, I haven’t made the matches yet, so you can e-mail me to request to be a part of this month!

Hope y’all have a wonderful Tuesday.  I’m going to use a giftcard I received from a blog giveaway to treat myself to some Starbucks since I feel crazy from my lack of stability right now! #treatyoself

1. Christmas Day

Atlanta, it was snowing and beautiful, Christmas trees in Centennial Park!

Sweet little muffin cozied up in a Christmas blanky!

Sibling Picture with sweet Cappie dressed as Santa!

I wake up super early and get gifts! 🙂

Love it for the food… OF COURSE!

And I usually like running a race the morning of to justify all the food

4. Any Day I’m at Disney

Cirque Du Soleil is the greatest show!!

My two best buds from Disney!

My first visitor when I lived there, enjoying Epcot! 🙂

Celebrated this today!  And it was beautiful, my friends…. just beautiful!

Did you enjoy a Free Tea Today!? I did… although, just like usual, I failed at blogging duties and didn’t get a picture!

I feel like I’ve been slacking in the whole blogging department as of late.  I’m sure you’re all interested in what’s been happening in my life lately so I thought I’d bring you up to speed.
{Side note: You may not really care}

Big Brother
Are y’all loving this show too?!  I’ve been a Big Brother fan for a while and this season has been stellar!  Aaryn is freakin’ idiot.  Can’t stand her!! She has no brain.  I surprisingly really enjoy Elissa.  I couldn’t stand Rachel, so I assumed I’d feel the same way but this girl actually has a heart and a sweet spirit (from what I can tell).  I’ll be watching the episode from tonight in the morning, so don’t spoil anything for me yet!

Packing
Yes… dreadfully, I’m packing up my apartment.  It’s bitter-sweet, honestly!  My apartment is a hott-freakin-mess!  I’m stressed out about where all my mail will go and if it will get lost.  I’ll do the whole forwarding address, but what if something gets lost!?

Hot-freakin-mess

The Office
So… I never actually watched through the seasons of the Office.  I’m doing it now though and I’m loving it! I’m loving Jim & Pam’s relationship and how it developed.  Michael Scott is a idiot… like literally…. drives me crazy, but makes me laugh hysterically all the time!

Running
Only a few more weeks until my Half training begins, woo hoo I’m pumped!!  It’s going to be the greatest plan ever!  I got it from Self Magazine.  For the next few weeks, I’ll be doing some runs based on time, not distance to prep for the start of my training!

Bloggers Helping Bloggers
I can’t express how much I already love this!  I have been paired with Sarah all month and she’s just fabulous and we’ve gotten to know each other, been praying for each other, and I got a super sweet card in the mail!  I hope others are having the same experience I am or even a better one!  If you haven’t signed up yet, there is still time!!

My interview!
So…. I had an interview earlier this week and y’all… it would be P.E.R.F.E.C.T!  It wouldn’t make as much money as I’d like, but I’d have time to make supplemental income in other ways and it would give me great flexibility to pursue other dreams and enjoyments such as crafting and blogging!  I don’t know if I’ll get it, but I’ve been praying for God to steer me in the right direction.  I’ve had immense response from my wonderful blogger friends and y’all have been praying for me and I greatly appreciate it!  I hope to find out this week though, so keep the prayers coming if you don’t mind!

On that note… prayers!
I just want to point out how blessed I have been by this blogging community!!  We pray for each other and we lift each other up and I feel blessed to know y’all.  I think it’s beautiful when I feel comfortable asking y’all for specific prayers and you feel comfortable e-mailing or texting me personally for specific prayers.  If you do have a specific prayer request that I can be praying for you, please feel free to let me know, I’d be happy to do so!!

Not much else going on in this little life of mine… just the usual… tv shows that are more than likely a waste of my time, running (slowly but surely), packing up to move, 2.5 weeks left at my current job, praying for friends/family, slacking a good bit on the whole reading my bible thing, but working on it, and spending time with my sweet friends in Starkville before I leave!
