Sunshine and Clouds.

A friend of mine uses this phrase with her clients to get them talking about their week. They have to give some good things (sunshine) and some not so good things (clouds). I thought I'd use the same premise for a blog post!

Sunshine -
1. My internship for next year is coming together nicely. I might have to get a little "weird" for it though. Kudos if you know the city I'm talking about. Haha :)
2. Spring Break is in two weeks!
3. My professor volunteered me to grade some papers for a research symposium. So that's a big deal that he thought about me.
4. My dad finally got everything settled with his new job. He'll leave on Friday.
5. I got a bike! And I have a friend that wants to bike ride!
6. I went home last weekend and spent 5 days with my crazy, beautiful family!

Clouds -
1. My dad's job is in the U.A.E aka the Middle East :(
2. I have a messy room that I don't wanna cleaning! Haha first world problems.
3. My grandmother had a seizure last week while I was home. She's doing much better, but please keep her in your prayers.
4. I've been trying to restore an old friendship but my efforts haven't been successful. And I'm having a hard time convincing myself that it's time to let it rest.

What about you guys? Share the sunshine and clouds going on in your life right now!

What I Wore - Church Edition

Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week.

It's so relaxing. joyful. peaceful. stress-free.

When the focus of something is JESUS, you just can't go wrong.

Here's what I wore to church this past Sunday.

Linking up with MoMoMod Style Showcase!

Vegetables

Okay. Anyone that knows me knows that I despise vegetables, "except corn and potatoes". The thought of eating most vegetables makes me gag...literally. I know, I know...I'm 24. I need to be eating vegetables! We need like 12 servings of these suckers a day (that's what it feels like to me!). Sigh....but it's sooo hard! I blame my parents. LOL.

But in an effort to eat a bit more healthy, I've slowly put surely been trying to sneak vegetables in my diet.

I started with V-8 Fusion: Concord Grape Raspberry is the only one that I enjoy right now. Hey...in my book, drinking vegetables counts! And each serving has a full serving of fruits AND vegetables. Two birds with one stone.

Then I moved onto adding spinach to my fruit smoothies. I had read online about how good it was for you and everyone PROMISED that you couldn't taste it. So I bought spinach and it sat in my freezer for two weeks while I continue to have smoothies without it. I finally tried it today. and GUESS WHAT?! You can't taste the spinach...thank god, bananas are so strong! haha

And because I'm a big kid now, I bought Buitoni's Spinach Cheese Tortellini pasta...just to try. I had it for lunch today and I LOVE it...You can't even tell the difference between the spinach pasta and the regular ones.

So at the age of 24, I am finally eating some veggies! Yes, I'm proud of this. Yes, I realize that most people have been eating veggies since they were babies. But, I don't care, judge away! :)

Haha. Happy Sunday, y'all!

What's New?

• My dad retired from the Air Force on 31Jan13 after 29+ years in!! It's so surreal. The ceremony was awesome and my whole family cried like babies. I'll do a whole post on this one in a couple days. Now, my family is preparing for my parents to head to Abu Dhabi for a job my dad got! He'll be making ridiculous money doing stuff that he's really good at...only downside is they'll be in the UAE...which is like a 24 hour flight away! :/ But anywho...like I said, another post soon!
• I attended a Midnight Worship service last Friday night. It was one of the coolest things I've been to in a while. Their tagline is "Nothing good happens after midnight...except this!". It's just a bunch of college kids from a bunch of different churches and denominations coming together to worship God. And that talent was amazing as well! I'll definitely be there every week!
• I went to a Yoga class tonight. It was fun...but sadly, I was probably the least flexible person in the class. Not counting the two guys that showed up. Looks like my goal of do the splits is further off than I had hoped. haha
• I made a new page for my blog yesterday! Here is my bucket list for the year! It's got 31 (and counting) things that I want to have done by the end of the year!! I'm excited to cross things off!
• Monday night, I went to a prayer meeting in town called Monday Night Burn. Another ones of those interdenominational things. When the guy leading opens up with "I speak in tongues..." you know it's going to be a good one. I'll probably start attending this one as well. It was really powerful...a bunch of people praying and interceding for the city of Abilene. Oh and the guy leading? Sings like an angel...haha but seriously. He wrote and sang a song with Christ for the Nations called Show Me Your Heart. Check him out.
• One of my friends is coming to visit me this weekend. I'm so excited to show her around the big big town lol. She'll be the first person outside of family that has come to see me!! :)

Well, I'm off to watch Deception and then head to bed. Gotta wake up early and hit the gym!

Love y'all!
