Fall... yuck.

I have quite a few words to say to all of you crazies who are writing how much you love fall.

I dislike fall very much.

The main reason: sore throat, runny nose, constant sneezing. Allergies. My least favorite type of sickness. Why? Because you never know when you will feel better. It could last days, weeks, months! Who knows? At least when you have a stomach bug or something you know just a few days down the road, maybe a week you will be feeling so much better. That's not always true with allergies. I've been feeling progressively worse for the past few weeks, and I'm just plain tired of it!

I hope I don't have allergies if I move to Russia.

I also don't like being cold... or not being able to wear flip flops.

Alright, enough of my ranting. I'm just tired of feeling awful.

On a more positive note, 11 a.m. tomorrow (or today, technically) will mark the beginning of the weekend for me. I love weekends.

I was told today that I can start work on Monday! I am so very happy about that. I'm sure it will make me even more exhausted than I already am, but I'm really hoping I will love this job since it is so closely related to my future career.

This week has been crazy. I'm quickly, well, that's a lie... I'm slowly learning that I don't even have faith as small as a mustard seed. I don't know why it's so hard for me to realize that God is bigger than all my problems, and He will sustain me.

Anyways, it's about that time.. goodnight.

Senioritis

I have an awful case of senioritis, and with each passing week, it becomes more prominent. I don't want to go to class. I don't want to do my homework. I don't really want to do anything. I can make it. I will make it. There is no other option. ugh.

I have a new-found addiction to wedding blogs. They give me such great inspiration and ideas. I've not reached the stressful part of planning yet. Well, except for finances, but I imagine that will be a constant stress. I know God has everything under control, so I am thankful for that.

I'm in one of those moods where I just want to sing and dance and laugh with friends, but here I sit.

Ok, I have nothing more beneficial to say. I'm sleepy, and my mind is random.

Nap Time

Holy Moly. I just took a nap and slept way longer than I intended to. I was supposed to workout with Lauren, but I didn't even hear her text. That never happens! I was drooling, and when I woke up, my hair was a hot mess. I really hope I'm not fighting anything. I'm exhausted more than usual this week, and I don't understand why. I've narrowed it down to 2 things: 1. I'm fighting an illness (Lord, I hope not!) or 2. My body is in denial that I quit drinking soda so it's making me super tired so that I'll crave it more. All I have to say is, Body, please let up soon.

Anyways, on to other news. I got the job I've been wanting! It's so nice to know that the Lord is taking care of my needs even if it's in a way that I didn't expect or necessarily welcome. I'm really excited about this job because I think I'll really enjoy it, and it will give me really good experience. Plus, I'll be able to save money for my wedding.

Speaking of wedding, plans have slowed down quite a bit. I don't have much to do at this stage until I start making some money to put a deposit down on the catering. It's hard to wait, but the days go by so quickly that I'm losing track of time. The days feel so short that I don't even have enough time to get everything done. It's really crazy.

i'm going to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in New Mexico in 3 weeks with Josh, Jordan, Teaven, Abby and Bethany. It's really exciting because it's kind of like a senior trip for all of us, even though Teaven already graduated. We're pretending he hasn't since he never really got a senior trip. It should be a really fun weekend.

I'm going to the spa on Friday with my sister. I'm really excited to have some time to relax.

On to my countdowns:
-85 days til the end of the semester
-234 days til Graduation
-276 days til my wedding!

It's all getting so close!

New Beginnings

As of one hour ago, I am no longer an employee of Olive Garden. I know that this was the right decision. They weren't very happy with me only working one day a week anyway.

School is going well. It's keeping me really busy, but I'm enjoying most of my classes this semester. Last week when I went to Starbucks to do homework, I tried this new drink called Toffee Mocha. Oh my, it's delicious. I can't wait to go drink another one. I'm sure I'll find myself at Starbucks sometime this week.

I am so thankful for this 3 day weekend. It's sad to think I need a break after being in school for 2 weeks, but it's been so nice to get away.

Wedding plans have been put on hold until I get settled into my schedule and get a job. I'm really hoping this after school job with Temple ISD works out.

Getting ready to apply for graduation and take the THEA this week. That puts me one step closer to graduation. CRAZY!


243 days til Graduation!
285 days til my wedding!
