julie & dustin's wedding

My very good friend, Julie, from junior high & high school got married this past weekend. 

(yes on my birthday) :]

Her and Dustin have been together since we were 16. I remember being there when it all happened and it's so great to now see them married. They are a beautiful couple in Christ and really have inspired me with their relationship.

The wedding was beautiful and the bride looked gorgeous.

lists

I have an addiction. It's an obsessive disorder. I try to control myself, but it just take over. I sometimes think I need help. I try to live life without it, but there's no use. I'm hooked on...MAKING LISTS!! Haha.

Okay, okay, so it's not that bad, but I do consider myself an obsessive list-maker. I'm not sure where I picked up this habit, but for as long as I can remember I make lists.  

I make lists of what to do, where to go, what to buy, what to blog, who to call, even small, silly things like take a shower or pluck my eyebrows. I know, weird. You would think I wouldn't need to write down every little thing I have to do in life. 

I have different lists going on...some are for short-term, others for long-term. Example. I have a list for today, tomorrow, this week/month, yearly lists, life lists, and it goes on.

My favorite mediums for list-making are post-its, notepads, marker board, and when I'm running low on these, good ol' scratch paper works great! I've thought about keeping my lists electronically on my laptop and then deleting each item once it's done. I would save paper and wouldn't have to re-write my lists all time. I'll have to try this out. 

I know it's cheesy and seems a bit over the top organized, but I really would be lost without my lists. Just thought I'd share, it was on my list. :)

cards

With it being my birthday and all, I received numerous cards (thank you to everyone who sent me one) and have come to realize how personal and wonderful they are!!

It's such a great feeling to receive a card, open it, read it, and display it (I display mine!). It's so much more personal and thoughtful versus a phone call, email, or text. 

Because of this wonderful feeling and enlightenment, I've made it a point to send cards out more often. I believe it's such a kind gesture and since I enjoy receiving them so much, I'm sure others will too.

I already sent one out this week! :)

my 21st birthday

I had a fabulous birthday weekend! :)

Just in a nutshell...dinner, surprises, old sac, funny laughs, the fair, old friends, and lots of food & cake!!

I'll post more later & pics.

I'm also having a birthday party in 2 weeks. The partying hasn't stopped yet! Lol.

Happy Birfday to meeee! ;]

    ps. don't worry-it's cider. Lol.

home

This ikea commercial is so cool!
I dig all ikea commercials. They're all hilarious! Although there are some questionable, not so kid-friendly ones (like all the banned ones).

This one is my favorite. I love the idea and values of home and family.
I can't wait to have my own house or apartment. :)
Not that I'm rushing marriage! Lol. We'll save that for another blog.





I'm finishing up a paper & project due tomorrow. I'll be up super late. (what else is new. Lol.)
After this, I will have 1 week of summer vacation then start Fall semester on Sept. 2nd.
Bum. :(
Last year at Sac State! Woo hoo!

sunday

Church today was amazing!

I have gained such a new perspective on God, Christianity, and my walk with Christ in the past months.

I'm glad to be part of SF Lighthouse (<-- click) and am excited for what God has planned for it!

My pastor is a great man of God, everyone is super friendly, and the atmosphere there is so real.

Love it! :]

If you're ever in the area, come visit us!

change

Change is hard.

But it's a part of life.

I've been experiencing much change in my life as of recently and it hasn't been easy.

I've learned ,now more than ever, to trust in God and His plan.

I'm excited & nervous for what the future holds. 

:] 

yard sale

We (my mom & I) had a yard sale today.

It was somewhat successful. We learned a lot for future yard sales.

It was fun meeting neighbors, talking to folks, and enjoying the morning weather.

We're planning another one in the fall. 

:]
