We took a right turn down the road of life...

You know what the worst part of vacation is... it ending! I had Spring Break this past week and boy let me tell you, it was wonderful not to think about anything school related for a whole ten days. Tomorrow it's back to the daily grind of life...YAY! I had such a great time spending the better part of a week with these lovely people...


I spent the first half of the week in Montgomery, Alabama before we ventured back to Savannah for the St. Patrick's Day festivities. 

Spring Break Happenings
1. Met Doppler, the chillest (is that even a word?) dog ever. He is on the opposite end of the spectrum from our Suki.

2. Went bowling for the first time in years. I broke one hundred. AND I won. Can you believe it!? 
3. Turned a five hour car trip into a significantly longer one.
4. Tried to teach Rachel accents...emphasis on the tried. 
5. Got pulled over for the first time. Luckily the police officer was gracious and let me go without a ticket. 
6. Witnessed a waterbottle/sword fight.
7. Spent the day before St. Patty's downtown walking around like tourists. Savannah is like a whole different town on St. Patty's day!

8. Met an A.I.P. (Actual Irish Person) - she wasn't very nice though :-/
9. Was introduced to the game of LIFE.  
10. Had my first Melting Pot dessert experience. "Can we have some more strawberries please!?"
11. "Hey look, she's eating a canoli" - Rachel
12. Started a Bucket List.
13. Went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade for the first time.

Lots of fun was had and memories were made.

Thank you Lord for the blessing of great friends!

Hello March!

Why hello March, it's nice to see you too! 

If today is an indicator of how the rest of March is going to go, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a pretty fantastic month.

What's in store you might ask...

1. I finished the Hunger Games series as of about thirty minutes ago. And yes, I am planning on re-reading them. 

2. I get to see my Daddy in just ONE week. Not only do I get to spend the weekend with him, I get to see my family up in Charlotte too! 

3. Spring Break. Need I say more?...oh wait, I do. If Spring Break wasn't enough to be excited about, I get to spend it with some of my favorite friends! 

4. St. Patrick's Day in Savannah. This will be the first year in which I take part in the festivities! Of course accompanied by some of those same favorites that I'm spending spring break with! 

5. The Hungers Games - Midnight Premiere. Can I just say that I don't think I've ever been more excited for a movie to come out. Ever. 

6. My best friend find out if she's having a little boy or a little girl. And I'm pretty sure I'm just as anxious as she is to know if it's a he or a she! 

7. No more French class, for the rest of the semester. I did my five days a week for seven weeks and I am DONE! Just three more French classes and I'll have a minor.

8. After March, comes April...which has some pretty fantastic plans shaping up!!
 (including the Braves season opener with a pre game Civil Wars show AND my sister might be coming to spend her Spring Break with me)

That's just the fun stuff, not to mention all the school work and papers I've got to squeeze in there too.

But here's to a marvelous March!

Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits - who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renews like the eagle's. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed...The Lord iss compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 
Psalm 103:1-6, 8
