Suits

Ok. So I love, love, love a man in a suit. A grey suit. A grey, well tailored, beautiful suit with a narrow lapel and a skinny tie. Grey suits absolutely drive me wild. I love them. Love. And when I think of men in grey suits, the first one that comes to mind is Neal Caffrey, the smooth ex-con in White Collar. He has classic and impeccable style, and Matt Bomer is a super-dreamy Texas boy to boot.

*Please take all the time you need to absorb the amazingness of Neal's ultra fab suits. But remember, I call dibs.

And that, my friends, is exactly why I love grey suits. :)

times are changin'

I'm tired of change.

Sick of it really.

I am good and ready for things to stay the same for a while. A looooong while.

You see, some very big changes have happened recently... some expected, some planned, and some surprises.

Just a little insight on some of the changes-

• Going from working part-time to full-time
• Going from a church secretary to a church secretary/intern
• Our Senior Pastor leaving to plant a church elsewhere
• Our Children's Minister leaving and starting a life with her new husband
• My best friend getting married and starting life with her new husband

But as much as I want things to stay the same, I know things will have to change.

And some changes I am excited for! Ecstatic! Thrilled even! Just like...

• Me getting ready to go off to school
• Me getting ready to move
• And me getting ready to go off on my own and be a real life grown up.

So in midst of all this change... Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 keeps coming to my mind-

There Is a Time for Everything

¹ There is a time for everything,
and everything on earth has its special season.
² There is a time to be born
and a time to die.
There is a time to plant
and a time to pull up plants.
³ There is a time to kill
and a time to heal.
There is a time to destroy
and a time to build.
⁴ There is a time to cry
and a time to laugh.
There is a time to be sad
and a time to dance.
⁵ There is a time to throw away stones
and a time to gather them.
There is a time to hug
and a time not to hug.
⁶ There is a time to look for something
and a time to stop looking for it.
There is a time to keep things
and a time to throw things away.
⁷ There is a time to tear apart
and a time to sew together.
There is a time to be silent
and a time to speak.
⁸ There is a time to love
and a time to hate.
There is a time for war
and a time for peace.

For me, it's a time to start over. Refresh. Renew. Reenergize. (and any other re- word you could insert here)

So, even though we may not like it, enjoy it, welcome it, or love it, change will happen. And it is okay. We just have to grin and bear it. Or something like that.

Happy Blogging! :)

MLB All-Star Game

Vote Ian Kinsler from the Texas Rangers to the All-Star Game!!! :)

Creepy Crawly

creepy.

and crawly.

and in my light.

There is a gifreakinormous bug in my light that sits above my desk.

And I am most certainly not afraid of it.

And I do not have an irrational fear that it will somehow escape and attack me.

And I certainly did not clear a path and leave my door open so I could run away like a chi... ahem, I mean promptly exit my office in a professional-like manner... just in case.

And I definately did NOT tweet about it, therefore enlightening everyone on the face of the planet on my fear of crawly, creepy-ish things.

And I absolutely did NOT take a picture of the monstrosity- I mean God's beautiful creation that I particularly do not enjoy- on my cell phone. Because if I did, that would mean that you would see the picture below.

What's that? You can see a picture of the bug? Oh... don't be silly... who would really do such a silly thing?

Unless your me.

Stinkin' bug.

Stop! Summer-Time!

Ok... so... after chastising my sister for not blogging in for-eh-ver! (name that movie!) I decided I shouldn't be a hypocrite and it's about time I updated.
So, in the last month here is what has been going on:

• I finished the play, "Under the Sycamore Tree"... we had a blast! :)
• Went to 2 more Texas Rangers games :)
• Got plenty of autographs and pictures (from the Texas Rangers)... (to come soon in a later post!)
• Started tweeting on twitter... follow me! :)
• Started working full-time at the church- I am doing my regular job in the morning, then I am the Youth Summer Intern in the afternoons :)
• Started walking 3 miles (almost) every day
• Finished Week 1 of Summer Camp... in the middle of Week 2 now!

Coming up this weekend-

• Going to the orthodontist on Thursday to get new archwires! (it's been 3 months already?!) With Baylee, who gets her braces on! :)
• Going to see Wicked this weekend in San Antonio with the girls! :)

I am suuuuper excited to see Wicked... finally! :)

Oh, if you would like to see my twitter updates, click the link above and follow me! I will definately be updating via twitter this weekend... and most every day this week :)

I'm an Ant! (no... seriously!)

I'm an Ant!

Nope. That is not a grammatical error.

I am an Ant. In a play.

Under the Sycamore is a play about ants who learn to become more human... yes, I said human. They start speaking in words instead of numbers, and start to express emotions. :)

So I just thought I was done with theatre!

Our Music Minister, my co-worker is directing it... so I decided to try out :)

His secretary is also in it... she's pretty hilarious... so it'll be a blast! 

We start rehearsals tonight!

More to come!

Happy Blogging! :)

Easter!

wow.

it's been 2 months since i have posted last.

well.

here is what has happened in the last month:

• I signed the lease on my new apartment. :) I move in on August 18!






• I have braces now :D






• I last blogged about Picnik. I am addicted. Really addicted.






• I have also recently taken up the hobby of photography. And when I say recently, I mean on Easter. :)

So. That should have caught you up. Now onto Easter.

Landry was more than willing to cooperate... as long as he got to play baseball.

Baylee was by far my most willing model... of course! She just let me pose her and snap away! 

Zachary was just being... well... a normal 4-year old :) I love this picture I just happened to get of him though!!! :) (I think I was in the process of tickling him... lol)

So... that should bring you up to speed on my life! :)

*By the way... I just happened to edit these pictures on Picnik :)

Happy Blogging :)
