Patience

Hello friends!

I know this blog is WAY overdue (my apologies!) But, in my defense, life has changed so drastically since my last post. SOOO. . . here is my life (aka the past 6 months) in 6 points:

1. I LOVED my internship at the American Cancer Society! I learned so many valuable things and now know that I definitely picked the right field of work for me. I was also blessed to meet so many people during that time that have helped me in so many ways. the ladies at the office were so welcoming and helped me with much more than they had to. . (for example: actually doing everything I learned in college)

2. I miss Bowling Green. I moved back to Nashville in August & I love my hometown and being around family and friends, but I was no where near prepared for really leaving college. For 4 years, I built up a life that I basically left cold turkey. no fun :( I know I have a great life ahead of me, but I have never been someone that is good with change & it was ALOT of change all at once.

3. Well, while I do not have a "big girl" job, yet. . . I am still trying. (I blame the economy.) Don't worry, though. I am still VERY hopeful! I know that there is a great job coming up in my future, I just have to be PATIENT & wait for it to come around. (easy enough, right? HA) But, in the meantime, I am working at Barnes & Noble. <-- perfect job for an English nerd like me :)

4. FALL! I. love. Fall. (& everything associated with it!) so, naturally, my mood has brightened lately! Why do I love fall? Let me list the ways: the colors, football games, bonfires, hayrides, pumpkin patch, Homecoming, pumpkin carving, BEST WEATHER EVER, Octobrfest, Halloween, Thanksgiving, SCARFS!!, boots, layers of clothing, & decorating for the season!

5. Okay, soo this has been the year of weddings! I have gone to, been invited to, and been in weddings this year. I feel so lucky to be close to so many wonderful people & be able to share in their special day!

6. Well. . . you guys know I LOVE pictures, so for my last point I am sharing some of my favorites from lately!

This is from the Luminaria service at one of the Relay for Life events during my internnship.

Do you like my pumpkin? I had so much fun carving it. Go Phi Mu!

For Halloween, I helped out with a trunk or treat. This was my car :) {I was a pig, too!}

As you know, I am a crafty person & I saw some ornaments like this on Pinterest. . so of course, I had to make own!

BINGO! I thought Bingo was an easy going game. . WRONG! But it was soo much fun!

Well. . . That's all folks! ha. talk to you soon!

Lions, Quatrefoils, and Pink. . . . OH MY!

As you know, I am a proud member of Phi Mu Fraternity for Women. I love finding our symbols out where ever I go. So, I decided to share some of the spottings here with you!

First, I will remind you what our symbols are:

The LION! (you can get this picture at Walmart.)

The Quatrefoil! (I LOVE this mirror! You can get it @ Lowes.)

The Rose Carnation! (obviously these are fake, but pretty nonetheless!)

This Shower curtain (& the entire bathrrom set that matches) can be found at Walmart.

This was a child's valentine box full of chocolates. (once again @ Walmart.)

These cookies were GOOD, but even better was the Quatrefoil on the side :)

My Top Ten Websites for 2010 :)

These are the sites that never cease to entertain me. I am sure that you know of most of them, but if not, definitely check them out!

10.Youtube- This is one of the best ways to catch up on new songs, movie trailors, or learn about new artists. (Also, check out Beenerkeekee. He is awesome.)

9.Texts From Last Night- I can't help but laugh at the posts on this website.

8.Dear Blank, Please Blank- This is a new favorite of mine! I have been quoting from it all day! The title sounds a little boring, but check it out, you won't be disappointed. . .

7.Google- This is a lifesaver. I seriously would be lost without Google.

6.Lauren conrad's website- I am a huge Laguna Beach/Hills fan, so I was drawn to anything with LC. This website is awesome! Even if you were not a fan of the shows, you will like the website.

5.Total Frat Move- I'll admit that most of the posts on this site are cocky and somewhat offensive, but there are also many hilarious posts.

4.Victoria's Secret Pink- I LOVE PINK.

3.The Lo Down- I live by this website. Lo is so relatable and puts so many interesting things up. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

2.Twitter- I am not the biggest about tweeting constantly, but it is easily one of my most checked websites. I love knowing what is going on!

1.Facebook- This is a life line. I don't remember a reason for getting on the internet before Facebook. I was never a Myspace fan ( i will admit that I had one briefly, but was not impressed).
