so here's the thing

Sorry for the absence again! My computer is practically fried and I am just too scared to turn it on sometimes! I always think of these great things to write down, but they never actually make it on here... sorry about that. 

so here are a few things I am loving this week!

{morning lattes from this coffee shop that used to be a news paper}

{work clothes-business casual of course.}

 {exploring downtown}

{feeling like an adult with a real job}

{spending me time at the gym}

{exposed brick}

{breathing fresh air}

{pushing myself to new heights}

{remembering all our laughs}

{getting up early and starting my day off right}

{cute new clothes for a cute new job}

 {high heels-sassy ones at that}

{open fields}

 {fresh cut tulips}

 {living vicariously through my friends' travels}

I hope everyone has a fabulous rest of the week and weekend! hopefully my computer will miraculously fix itself!

Oh, and I started my internship this week.  I LOVE it! I couldn't be happier! I feel like it is only going to get more challenging and rewarding as the weeks come at me!

the decision

 i decided to move home.

for those of you who have read this here blog prior to this post, you may know that i faced the difficult decision of figuring out where to live next year (i am a student who goes to school close to home) and i made the decision. 

i compromised with the parents, and it seems like they are pretty excited to have me back but i am a little weary.

chores scare me, because living on my own i have made my own time to do my own things at my own pace. 

it will no longer be that at home. 

i will be on their time, in their environment and their home.

scary, but it will work with some patience. 

the upstairs of our house is a mess.

one bedroom is empty and was deemed "wedding room" for my sister's upcoming "i dos"

and another is my sister's old room that has random things from her childhood

and my bedroom has a brand new queen size bed, and huge dresser, which completely take up the entire space

and did i mention that every closet is overflowing?

problem indeed.

my parents are graciously letting me redo my bathroom. 

i won't show you a picture because it is that bad. moons and stars.

and hopefully we will get around to changing one of those bedrooms into an office space since i will need some sort of study area

and a bedroom?

we haven't exactly figured that one out.

i love the stuff i have right now but it doesn't fit in with any of the bedroom color schemes

and my parents of course painted/outfitted my room as soon as i left!

so here are some inspirations for what i hope to get out of this redo... more to come as the projects get underway, or even become written plans.

a new beginning

remember this little blog i made back in november?

sorry i have neglected you so!

it has been so weird not documenting the little things i think about randomly

but i am glad to be back.

after almost a month of cramming for exams and computer viruses

i am excited to be back sharing all the exciting things going on!

i could write a book of all the things i wanted to write about from etsy to vacations to surprises and laughs.

anways welcome back all you in this little family of mine

i have so much appreciated all the encouragement y'all have given me through twitter over the last little while.

can't wait to share all the sweet nothings about life i have started to open my eyes to! 

if you get a chance google ipersonic and take the free personality test... it is ridiculously accurate! i did it with a few of my friends last night and oh my gosh the laughs we had! it is a great way to pass a little bit of time and it is only 4 questions.

tonight is my orientation for my summer internship at a public relations firm downtown. 

i'm nervous excited and a little stressed about what i'm wearing.

business casual is supposed to be easy, but right now i'm struggling

and 

all i want to do is slip some cute 

skinny jeans, ankle boots and a cute top on 

to head out, but i just can't bring myself to wear jeans to a firm! 

ahh!

just a little bit of venting. i will jot a little later!

Don't be angry with me little blog and family, it is a little crazy around here with school wrapping up. I promise I'll be back once I'm a little less busy!! But on a brighter note, I wanted to let everyone know that I got my first pr internship for the summer! I am super stoked!!

sometimes i think to myself, self what you've got here is pretty great...

dear me,

life is great, don't forget that. ever. sometimes you do. 

what you've got is a blessing compared to so many others in this world. 

don't let people get in the way of your happiness, they aren't worth it. 

if you have to do something extra to become someone's friend you don't need them.

waking up early with coffee and a good read, is your favorite way to start your day.

go outside even when the pollen makes you want to curl up in a ball and sleep. 

don't underestimate the power of a good night's sleep, or a nap for that matter. 

don't let people tell you that coffee and fancy drinks are bad for you, because they make you so happy, for some odd reason. 

don't forget to smile at people, because when people smile at you it makes your day. 

remember that you love the color green, especially in spring when it is more abundant that ever. 

don't forget to tell your friends how much you miss them, and always make time for them.

just because sleeping is one of your favorite things to do, don't let it get in the way of life. 

sing in the car with all the windows down, you love it. 

don't forget that your puppy loves you, and will hug you anytime she can--and those walks you take with her, she loves them, and they clear your mind. 

when you get frustrated, cleaning or going for a run is a lot better way to let your anger out that yelling and cursing, even if that's what you feel like doing. 

don't be afraid of what you are thinking, even if it isn't the same as anyone else, be bold with your thoughts. 

don't let creativity scare you, you're better at it than you think. 

being fearless is hard, but it is a great way to live your life. 

don't get too caught up with schedules, although they make you feel in control, you're not... the Man upstairs is. 

don't ever forget how much you love the short conversations you have at night with the man of your dreams, he always tells you he loves you, and you believe it even more each night. 

you love your family, especially when you sit on the patio and talk about random nothings.

keeping your room clean makes you feel more relaxed, it is worth the extra effort. 

when times get tough, pray. 

Don't rely on yourself, we weren't designed to do that.

when you give others advice, make sure you are applying it to your own life. 

remember to love yourself, if you're not loving yourself how can you love others?

thinking out loud.

do you ever get so caught up in the chaos of life that you forget to look around and notice how beautiful your life is? 

I completely did that this week. 

backstory:

I woke up complaining, 

thinking that none of my friends loved me 

(pity party, i know)

which is such a lie!

they all love me

just as much as i love them

sometimes we just need to sit and bask in the sun

give yourself enough space to actually let people in

if i stay too closed minded and caught up in selfish ambition

how will anyone even be able to get past my brick wall.

so today we were blessed with summertime heat

[attempting to ignore the pollen]

i sat outside in a field

basked in the sun

giving myself a break from chaos

and sure enough i saw a friend i hadn't seen in a while

what a beautiful conversation

with laughs and genuine compassion for each other

even though we both live two very different lives

seeing her smile after i hadn't seen her in almost four months

made my day...

what made your day?*

feet tuesday!

doing a little dance to celebrate a great and beautiful day!
