Hi friends! I once again apologize for my lack of posting this summer. (actually...all year) School, life, traveling, blah blah blah. Anyways.... I have some bitter-sweet news. I am no longer going to post on this blog. Live for Today is retiring. But I am not giving up blogging! (and you thought you had gotten rid of me!) I actually started a new blog just a few hours ago. Surprise! It is called Livin the Artsy Life and it is going to be more focused and updated much more often. So followers of Live for Today, please come check out my new blog. I will dearly miss you if you don't. Press this link right <a href="http://let-there-be-art.blogspot.com/">HERE</a>. Please! (with a cherry on top and all that jazz)<br />
So with that...I bid Live for Today goodbye. These past three-ish years have been fun. We have been through a lot dear blog, you and I, and I shall remember it always. Farewell.*Ashley*http://www.blogger.com/profile/00705761021819395283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421598129213988059.post-81229180578731710282012-05-01T15:46:00.001-07:002012-05-01T15:46:21.478-07:00a new direction in life...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello blogger buddies. It's been too long...I know. School is almost over though! I have two more classes this week and then I am finished with Freshman year of college! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seriously cannot wait until June, like I could skip May entirely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(i know...i shouldn't wish my life away)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In June I get to be a leader at a youth camp for a week, get to go to VA for a cousin's graduation, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and get to visit Beth Ann and her family in SC!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What about my job you ask? Yes, about that. I am actually quitting my job at the bridal shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a good job, but it's just not for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus this summer I am wanting to use my talents and time for things I love to do and I feel like God is calling me to do. I am hoping to really focus on my art and possibly earn some money that way, teach some kids guitar, and help my church design their website </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and use powerpoint to create brochures and such. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a big scary step, quitting my job and not getting another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I really do feel like God wants me to do this, and I will enjoy it alot more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But change is scary, big or little. So anyways, that is what is going on in my life right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh! I also have a <a href="http://differentone1.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> now that I am posting stuff on quite regularly. So check that out and let me know if you have one you want me to follow! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully I will be on blogger more now that classes are over!</div>

So I just thought I would do a little update kind of thing. Just for fun, ya know?<br />
<br />
What I've been up to:<br />
<ul><li>Working at the bridal shop on the weekends, and am all by my lonesome. Let's just say that prom season is in full swing, and that there should have been 3 of me last Saturday!!</li>
<li>Watched "The Marriage of Figaro" in music appreciation today. We are supposed to write a 4 page essay on it, which is fine, but there is one problem. It was in Italian. I couldn't understand a stinkin thing. This is gonna be fun. Yup.</li>
<li>I have been asked to flim a wedding in 2 weeks. I feel important. :)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.genuinebeau.com/">Beth</a> is coming to visit in exactly 2 weeks and 3 days. Cannot wait!</li>
<li>I am really needing some new pants... I have one pair of jeans that fit me. All the rest are seriously baggy in all the wrong places. (like you really wanted to know that...tells ya how boring my life is right now!!!)</li>
<li>Helped throw a bridal shower for the first time Sunday. It turned out really well and the bride to be was really happy.</li>
</ul>Words that mean alot:<br />
<ul><li>"Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different...." C.S. Lewis</li>
<li>"Someday everything will all make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason. "</li>
<li>"Sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together."</li>
</ul>Random things I'm lovin:<br />
<ul><li>My new desk!!!</li>
<li>Taco Bell. I could seriously eat there everyday.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/OlanRogers?feature=g-user-u">Olan Rogers</a>... funniest guy on earth.</li>
<li>Sperrys. I wear mine every single day.</li>
<li>Nature Valley Dark Choclate and Oats granola bar. mmmm.....</li>
<li>American Idol. I keep telling myself I'm not gonna get into this year....too late!</li>
<li>Sunshine. There is not enough of it lately, but when a ray decides to shine through, it makes my day so much better.</li>
</ul>What I'm listening to:<br />
<ul><li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcfaf3Rk28Y">Sparks Fly</a>- Taylor Swift</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Jh911AkcM">Learning to be the Light</a>- newworldson</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNqznxje3FU">Misery</a>- Maroon 5</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO5NLUOD8v8">bluebird</a>- Cristina Perry</li>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w9E5yJDOwM">Breakeven</a>- The Script</li>
</ul>I have been in such a mood to make a slideshow or edit something...so I made this little thing the other day. What can I say? I was bored. :)<br />

</span></div>
<span style="font-size:130%;">
<div>
The year 2011 was full of big events: Some exciting, some not. Some happy, some painfully sad. Some good, some bad.
Along with those big events came big changes. Change is not my friend.</div>
<div>It scares me to death. </div>
<div>Whether it's painting my room a different color or flying on a plane to the unknown. Whether it's beginning a new job full of responsibilities and commitment or graduating from highschool and beginning a new phase in life. </div>
<div>Little or not, I tremble and the word change... and God knows that.
It seems like He did nothing in 2011 but bring about change </div>
<div>and push me out of my comfort zone. </div>
<div>Because of that, I would not necessarily call 2011 a "happy" year. </div>
<div>Sure there were some wonderful things that occured, but even in those fun times, </div>
<div>He was working on me. </div>
<div>I could constantly feel Him pushing me out of where I felt comfortable, </div>
<div>urging me to do what I didn't want to do. </div>
<div>It was a tough year.
But looking back, if I had somehow skipped 2011, </div>
<div>I wouldn't be who I am now without it. </div>
<div>I have grown so much and have learned so many new lessons. </div>
<div>I can honestly say that I took my first steps into adulthood in 2011, </div>
<div>not because I graduated from highschool, but because of what I have learned about responsibility, leadership, and life in general.</div></span><div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size:130%;">2011 was a tough year and I keep finding myself wishing that 2012 would be a bit easier. Deep down inside though, </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">I just know that 2012 will be just as tough, if not tougher, as 2011. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">I can easily worry about what changes are going to take place and what big events (good or bad) are going to happen. But why? </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">What good does that do? God has gotten me through, not only 2011, </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">but my whole life; and He will continue to do so.
In that case, instead of dreading what 2012 has to offer, I am excited. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">Excited to see what changes are coming, what places I am going to go to, </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">and what people I am going to meet and form a relationship with. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:130%;">I am ready for the adventure of 2012

<div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">But these were my favorite.</span></div>

Long live the walls we crashed through.
While the kingdom's lights shined just for me and you.
I was screaming long live all the magic we made.
Bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid.
*******
Long live all the mountains we moved.
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.
I was screaming long live the look on your face.
And bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered.

I find it funny that what I once thought was nerdy and geeky,
is actually looking quite cute now.
First off, the glasses. I broke my dad's huge glasses when I was a baby
cause I didn't like them.
But now...I want some!
What goes around comes around I suppose.

Next up, plaid. I always used to think.... eww I look like a school girl.
But now I think it makes any outfit look really cute and different.
I mean, who would have thought to put it with a fancy-ish black dress?
And those socks with booties?
Old me- Blech! New me- oh cool!
yeah...just like that.

So I used to think that old plain sweaters were boring and granny looking.
Same with that knee length pleated skirt.
But I think that no longer!
I have actually bought myself several "plain" sweaters at Goodwill this fall.
And I love em.
(still haven't gotten to the 'nerd' point of popping my collar though.
and i'm not sure i ever will.)

I just love everything about this outfit.
The mixtures of patterns, the glasses, the odd color skinny jeans, and especially the red heels.
Honestly I can't see me being that...bold.
But I definitely don't go, "eww... that's weird" anymore.

So yes, I do believe that our style sense changes.
What I used to hate, I now think is adorb.
And what I used to love, I think is kinda dumb now.

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Fingernail polish... not my kind of thing.
</div>
<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Which surprises even myself considering the fact that I'm an artsy person.
But I must admit, I admire people who take time to care for, paint, and decorate their nails.
After all, it looks pretty and feminine and I've heard that a lot of guys like it.
My nails...not too pretty. Even my mom said the other day, "You're nails look ugly!"
Gee...thanks mom. Just what a girl wants to hear.
But ya know? She's right.
Alot of times I don't even have nails really.
Because I play guitar, I cut them as short as possible.
Plus they just tend to get in my way when they're long.
And I don't paint my nails often because when I do, as soon as I do dishes, it chips off.
Extremely frustrating if I do say so myself.
Anyways, enough of my complaining.
Here are some awesome pics I found where, if I ever did paint my nails,
I would do something like this....

Ok so I found this rather cool.
Magnetic fingernail polish.
Whaa??
Yep.
What you do is after you paint it on, while it's still wet, you hold the magnet
that came with it over it and drag it around.
You can make all kinds of cool patterns.
Neato.

I used to not like the peach/nude color.
But now I do.
It's not too noticeable, but makes your nails look nice and neat.

I can see my sister doing something like this.
First off I like it cause it's gray again...and plus the different color paint
splatters look rather awesome.

This is totally random but....should I grow my hair out or keep it short?
I just can't decide!
Everytime it gets about shoulder length I get impatient and chop it off again.

This coming Sunday my sister Emi and I are going to sing our annual song, "All is Well".
And then after that, our friend Brit is going to join us to sing "Mary Did You Know".
And then Sunday the 18th, Emi, Brit, and I are singing a song that I was introduced to this year called "Labor of Love".
It is a gorgeous song that is so touching.
Here is a video of Point of Grace singing it similar to the way we are going to sing it.
Tell me what you think. :)

<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I don't know about you but, I am finding myself getting lazy with the way I dress.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">It's cold, dark, and often wet....and I am always in a hurry to go somewhere</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">or am not going anywhere at all.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I catch myself throwing on either sweat pants or jeans with the same few shirts </span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">over and over again.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">I have come to the conclusion that this </span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">HAS TO STOP.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Fall and winter is the time to be creative and fun with your style.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">You can layer, mix and match, and try so many cool things.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Here are a few interesting fashion ideas to consider during this cold part of the year.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></div>

<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span></div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Maxi dresses are usually summer attire right?</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Not necessarily, you can put that maxi dress to use in the winter as well!</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Just throw a sweater or long sleeve shirt over it, add a belt if you wish, </span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">slip on your boots, and voila. A comfy wintery look.</span></div><span style="font-family:times new roman;"></span>

Skinny jeans and heals. Just can't get a better and classier look than that.</span></div>

Knee highs are my friend. I love them. So much.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">In the winter, I never wear a skirt without them.</span></div>

<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Are some of these ideas crazy and out of your comfort zone?</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Yep...me too.</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">But I need to snap out of this lazy college attitude of wearing the same comfy baggy </span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">clothes all the time...and start playing around and being creative again. </span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;">(Don't worry, I have never worn my pjs to class before.)
