Fall Break

The past four days were such a blessing.

Not only did I have a break from class,

but I got to spend quality time with my amazing Mother.

We started working on this scrapbook that will be filled with my favorite pictures from my childhood.

I can't wait to flip through it when it's finished.

Looking at all those pictures really made me realize how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family.

God chose where I would be very carefully,

and I wouldn't change a thing about my life.

I also got to spend a day with my Grandmother.

Though we're pen pals, it was nice to catch up.

She's been like a second mother to me all my life and I don't know what I would do without her.

Thank you Lord for the blessing that these two woman have been to me!

Not only did I get to spend time with my Mom, but I got to earn some moolah by babysitting the kids next door.

Feels good to have some cash! Haha.

It was hard, as usual after a break, to head back to Ttown.

I'm really not ready for the stress of class, rehearsals, and studying to set back in.

Some breaks just aren't long enough.

I know, I was adorable :)

In a Rut

Lately I have been in quite a rut.

I have had little motivation for school,

rehearsals,

or even working out.

I've been in a weird lazy mode...

I don't know what my deal is,

but I need some serious motivation.

Need A Laugh?

Daddy Weekend

I feel like I haven't blogged in weeks... Nonetheless, this past weekend was a very special one. My Dad came to Tuscaloosa for a visit :) It's always great to see my Dad and every visit we have together just makes our relationship stronger and stronger. I feel closer to him now than I ever have in my life. I am so blessed to have him and I am especially thankful for all that God has blessed us with. Throughout the weekend, we chatted, laughed, and goofed off; just having fun together. I had been looking forward to this weekend for a while and it was as fun as I had hoped it would be. It meant a lot to have my Dad here for a few days.

-Friday night, we had dinner at my favorite sushi place, Bento, and then saw Contagion. (If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you do so. I am already a germaphob so this movie just increased that by about 6 more hand washes a day. Not to mention I've recently had a cold and I have to admit I was afraid of dying from it...) Anyway, Dad is my movie buddy so of course we're going to see something while he's here!

-Saturday we spent the day, of course, watching football. Roll Tide and Go Vols. We watched the Tennessee game over lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings followed by a break of watching Bridesmaids at my apartment. I am currently OBSESSED with this movie and Dad found it about as funny as I do. The Alabama game was Saturday evening so we watched that and I made a few Weight Watchers football snacks like seven layer mexican dip, brownies, rotel dip, and potato skins (which were an epic fail by the way).

-Sunday morning we had breakfast at the Waysider and then Dad headed to Mississipppi. It was a short day for us but I'm looking forward to seeing Dad again in November when he comes back to see Resonance's fall show :)
