It's the last day of NaBloPoMo...for those of you who blogged everyday, CONGRATULATIONS!Today was one of the most productive personal days I've had in quite some time. I did laundry, cleaned my room, took a nap:) I know I'm officially old when I'm excited about cleaning and organizing things. Back to work tomorrow...yippee! ...

It's 12:11am...even though my day is still going, it's officially tomorrow meaning I did not post on Thursday for our good friend, NaBloPoMo. Drats! In other news, tomorrow is my day off! I don't have to work at either of my jobs...hallelujah! Of course, I have plenty to do at home...I think my entire closet is strewn across my room! It's 12:11am...even though...

Here's some pics from my trip to TX! April decorated her house for Christmas while I was there. It was fun to be a part since we've spent so many Christmases decorating together! The Woodlands also has a large Christmas tree on Market Street. We thought it would be fun to take pictures in front of it...it's hard to do it justice though!...

I found out about this little one from my friend, April, while I was in The Woodlands over Thanksgiving. You should really check out the Sherrill family blog. Each day Kyle lives and breathes is a miracle, but he still has a long way to go. Although they have hard days, their story is a true testament of faith and hope. I found...

I can't believe how cold it is here in the good ole' South. I actually pulled out a scarf tonight. Considering I have about 20, I just might get to wear them all if I only wear them once! I realized on Wednesday as I was driving to TX for Thanksgiving that I forgot to write a little blog about going out of...

Today I heard my God-daughter laugh for the very first time! It wasn't her first time to ever laugh but the first time I got to experience it. It was the greatest sound ever!

Last night a friend and I went to check out the Ruston Studio Arts Tour. Now growing up in Ruston, I never found it all that cultural, but I was impressed with this. Different venues ranging from eating establishments to boutiques stayed open so that local artists could show their stuff. My friend, Hannah, showed her photography at All that Jazz and sold...

One of the things I love about the internet is that it's always changing...improving. This year I've been very excited that I can catch my favorite tv shows that I may have forgotten to record on the internet the next day. So when I remembered that Grey's was on last night and I was in Monroe with friends, my panic quickly dissolved when...

I know some would say that 30 is too young to start experiencing memory loss, but I swear it's happening. Case in point: today Julie, my wonderful intern who is no longer now that the quarter is over, and I were driving to the bank. I had carried a lot of stuff out to my car because when we got back we were...

Yep, I bought it today. I know that it doesn't end well and it's not the best season ever but as I walked by it in the DVD section I could hear the girls drawing me in.."Give us another chance...your set is not complete until you have us all." Of course, I also don't have seasons 1-4, but one day...one day I'll be...

Today I began feeling very overwhelmed...and tired. I'm not even sure why. I guess that's not completely true. I have a lot going on and I have a hard time giving anything up, but the truth of the matter is that I need to slow down. I'm not sure what that's going to look like, so I press on til Friday when I'll...

I was in the Ruston Daily Leader yesterday (Sunday) for the movie we're working on. You should definitely check it out. Unfortuanately it wasn't so newsworthy that they included in on their website. Sorry for those of you who don't live in Ruston. I was in the Ruston Daily Leader yesterday (Sunday) for the movie we're working on. You should definitely check it...

I just got word that Shane Brue passed away yesterday. I knew him from my time working in the Doctor of Ministry Office at Asbury and is also the brother-in-law of my good friend, Juli Peak. Shane was diagnosed with colon cancer in July of 2006 and has been fighting hard ever since. He leaves behind is wife, Jill, and their 5 precious...

Please forgive me for not blogging yesterday. I simply forgot. I suppose it may be because I spent so much time on Friday making my space look so stylish and inviting to all who visit. I realize that part of being a member of NaBloPoMo is blogging everyday for the month of November. I have failed. Of course I didn't actually join until...

I find it interesting that in matters of life, I'm not a fan of change, but when it comes to how things look (i.e.: my hair, my apartment, my blog) I love change. It keeps things interesting, I suppose. I've had many a conversation about how weird it is when you get out of school. My life has been based on change. I...

I realize that it's become incredibly easy to receive spam and junk in our e-mail inboxes. I don't like it, but if it becomes too overwhelming, I've been known to start a new e-mail account. Today I was sitting at my desk when I heard my phone ringing. I recognized it as a text by the ringtone. Yes, I'm a text-messaging junkie, but...

Tonight we decorated Starbucks for Christmas. It's the beginning of November. I often wonder what happened to Thanksgiving. It happens to be my favorite holiday and it practically gets overlooked. That's okay. When turkey day rolls around I'll continue my tradition of staying in my pjs as late as possible, watching the Macy's Day parade, and eating a lot! I can't wait! Tonight...

Last week I started another (3rd) job of sorts as Director of Photography for a new film. We held auditions last Thursday and then picked the characters last night. This is all new to me but my friends I'm working with are old pros. Okay, maybe not pros, but they know what they're doing. I think there will be a full spread on...

Can someone tell me why it is that the single people tend to get left out of things...such as being invited over for dinner? At least 3 couples have invited some friends of mine over for dinner since the husband has started working at the church. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them. I just don't understand why I get looked over....

A couple of days ago I was heartbroken to find that my camera that I love and take everywhere has decided to no longer work. It was just fine Halloween night and then the next night I pull it out to find that when I turn it on it says "lens error." I took it to my dad thinking he could fix it....

I ran out of time in search for the perfect Halloween costume, so I dressed up in one of my formals and went as a princess. A friend of mine from Starbucks had a party. Here are some pics of my favorite characters:)An Olsen twin + 50 pounds and our friend, John Griffith (although he looks more like an 80's impersonator!)Jazzercise instructorsSonny and...
