Not much to it...

Hi ya. So I just thought I would do a little update kind of thing. Just for fun, ya know?

What I've been up to:

• 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!!
• 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.
• I have been asked to flim a wedding in 2 weeks. I feel important. :)
• Beth is coming to visit in exactly 2 weeks and 3 days. Cannot wait!
• 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!!!)
• Helped throw a bridal shower for the first time Sunday. It turned out really well and the bride to be was really happy.

Words that mean alot:

• "Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different...." C.S. Lewis
• "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. "
• "Sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together."

Random things I'm lovin:

• My new desk!!!
• Taco Bell. I could seriously eat there everyday.
• Olan Rogers... funniest guy on earth.
• Sperrys. I wear mine every single day.
• Nature Valley Dark Choclate and Oats granola bar. mmmm.....
• American Idol. I keep telling myself I'm not gonna get into this year....too late!
• Sunshine. There is not enough of it lately, but when a ray decides to shine through, it makes my day so much better.

What I'm listening to:

• Sparks Fly- Taylor Swift
• Learning to be the Light- newworldson
• Misery- Maroon 5
• bluebird- Cristina Perry
• Breakeven- The Script

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. :)


Hope you all have a great rest of your week!

So, I got a job! Finally!

I am now employed downtown at a local bridal boutique.

Ever seen those bridal shows on TLC?

I pretty much do that...only on an alot smaller scale.

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret...

it's alot more complicated and detailed than TLC makes it seem.

Today was my first day on the job and let's just say that my brain is just a tad bit fried.

My boss threw so much info at me that the ache that was forming in my brain eventually

moved down to my back and then to my stomach.

You have to measure guys for tuxes, order items from the catalog, steam the dresses,

help people figure out what they want (which is actually the fun part), and so much more. I'm sure I will eventually get the hang of everything, but I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing and do everything correctly. After all, weddings are extremely important! Even though this new job is challenging and confusing, I feel extremely blessed to have it.

God knew what kind of job I wanted and.... He won't throw anything at me that I can't handle.

I found this quote this evening that really encouraged me:

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,

"I will try again tomorrow."
