far away

I loved today, because the weather was beautiful! It is getting cold, and that means its time for a new season!

I had a blast at Erica's bridal shower this weekend! She is already married, but has her actual ceremony is in less than a month!!! I stayed at her duplex, and it's so cute! but it occurred to me today that we won't get to have slumber parties with just anymore, and when she comes to visit it just won't be the same.
My cousin, Katie, is getting married too! I am her maid of honor! I can't wait to see her at Christmas, it will be our last time together before she gets married...so it won't be the same either! we always stay up late, and watch movies, and just have so much fun!

I already really miss Erica because I won't get to see her for a long time! and I miss my cousin, Katie! and I miss Annie, I haven't seen her since July, and she is leaving for Africa in just a few days! She will be doing a medical missions trip! I am so excited for her!!! and I miss my dad and brother.
So many people I feel so close to..are far away. I miss them all so much! but I am thankful for my brother, sister-in-law, momma, the little girls I coach, the people at 3DPT, and all my other great friends who I DO get to see each day! and I love them all so much! I want to make sure I do a great job showing them my love and thankfulness! sometimes we forget to appreciate the special things we do have, when we are consumed by missing what's not around.

Halo by Beyonce is my favorite song today, it's just so beautiful...

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away


From Caramel to Chocolate

This school year is all about change! I am actually doing my homework this year, and putting that before social engagements (which anyone that knows me...knows I always pick having fun before school) NOT this year! I just don't want to fail any classes and have to come back next year! that would be awful!!

Soccer is going great! my knee feels amazing and I am having so much fun! my feet hurt from wearing high heels though...I probably shouldn't wear them, but they are so dang cute!

I dyed my hair chocolate brown!! I like it...got super tired of those sunny highlights! summer is over! I think it was caramel brown, before....so I call it chocolate now! I will put up a picture later :)


it's blurry because it's on my iphone!! but you get the point.....chocolate!!!!!!

I love the weekends! I have had so much fun with my friends this week! I love love my friends :) I keep forgetting to take pictures though! normally I love too, guess I am too busy having fun to take pics! I just got back from church, and I totally feel inspired! I LOVE when a good sermon makes you want to change your heart follow God's plan for you more! I think that's the way church should be! tonight we learned about dreams, and how we should strive for the best...and never give up! I started thinking about my dreams, and I tried to identify what is most important! I dream of becoming a personal trainer, and I really want to help people improve their self-image and help them alter their lifestyles! and I want a family, and to be a wonderful wife and a loving mommy!! but then I started thinking about God's purpose for me, and how I can apply that to my life. I have to follow His will for me! I think He wants me to use the gifts He has bestowed upon me to help others! and I want to do that! the pastor said there are five necessary things you need to for dreams to become reality! lets see if I remember them....

1) desire
2) risk
3) encouragement
4) availability
5) mystery

yay! I remembered! well I have to have the desire to dream, gotta be willing to lose it all to become what I need to be, gotta have encouragement from fellow believers, gotta be available! and this one is the hardest for me. MYSTERY! ahhhh that word is so scary....this comes from someone who would wrap her own Christmas presents so their would be no surprise! the unknown terrifies me! I am a planner, I am supposed to know what's going to happen! however, God is def working on that with me. He knows it's my weakness, and he is teaching me to be easy-going, flexible, and relaxed....so hard though! I need to marry someone spontaneous so he balances me! well there ya go those are the five necessary things to fulfill dreams! so exciting!! :)

I got the iphone 4 today! woohoo! I love it :) I think I will name her, Natalia! it means being born on Christmas...and well. I was born on Christmas! and it's my phone! Natalia.

We had our first official game yesterday! it went great! we tied in double-overtime, shoulda won..but it was still a great game!! Since I played my very hardest (and felt like a zombie today) I decided to try making something delicious! so here is my newest creation! sugar cookies with a homemade frosting glaze!


I know. it looks like a rainbow threw up...I didn't bake the cookies long enough so it was basically like putting my yummy frosting on dough. I might try again tomorrow and make them better!
