Remember those high school days where you picture what your wedding/grown up life is going to be like..

Well.. a few of the friends are getting to experience this earlier than the rest of us. ha!

Brittany F. got married to Nick this weekend and it was beautiful! 

(blurry Iphone picture)

Whitney, Brittany, and I served as hostesses and most of all got to catch up! :)

I just can't believe it has been 4 years since we graduated from high school! and.. I am already excited about a pending wedding that is in the works with one of these girls! :))))))

Now.. it's Monday of Spring Break and I have been a bad blogger for the weekend but.. I promise to catch up!

I had lunch with my sweet mama today and driving through campus just reminded me why/how I love my school so much.

This guy definitely says it way better than I do.  


        


Want to see more, go here.

Enjoy!

Thankful Thursday.

--I'm thankful for the opportunity to attend the best university in the state of Mississippi. 

Hotty Toddy! 

(Can you guess where I go to school! :)

-- I am D.O.N.E with school work for the week. Praise the Lord. It's been stressful.

--Tomorrow the apartment will be cleaned before I leave to go home.

--Spring break will consist of sleeping, job applications, and craft projects.  Shopping is a given. right?!

For JESUS doesn't change- yesterday, today, tomorrow, he's always totally himself.  

Hebrews 13:8

Spring Break 2011.. Welcome! :)

Top 2 Things I've learned about Relationships:

{one}  Don't Settle:

I believe that every girl in this world has dreamed about "THE ONE".  I know that I have and it's my biggest dream in life to be a wife and mommy! :)  I believe that my God has big plans to bless me in who he wants me to share my life with. "Let's do life together is one of my favorite marriage quotes! I don't ever want to settle in life, especially in the big decisions that I make. Future hubby.. I know you're out there. Hopefully we'll meet soon!

{two} Love Never Fails

Friendships, lovers, pets, family, any kind of relationship... That 4 letter word never lets you down. Love is a precious thing and is made to last forever. When God died on the cross for you and I, love came into the picture in an awesome way.  Its something that is not meant to be taken lightly!

Happy Fat Tuesday. Beads, cupcakes.. It's been fun!

No Monday Blues Here!

Hello, I'm exhausted.

This weekend has been full of fun, laughter, traveling, and buying.

The annual McCarty sale. =I'm.beat.

Here is what we got. It's tradition and something that I look forward to every year. But.. it's worse than Christmas!

Happy Birthday to my cousin, Justin!!



Isn't little man precious?

He's the baby of the family and couldn't be more loved! :)

Hope your birthday is extra special!

LOVE YOU!!!

Happy Monday, friends!

I'm So thankful..

One-- My 10-day lesson plan is over and defeated! I made a great score on it and I couldn't be happier. This   part of my life is about to be over. I.can.not.believe.it. Scary!

two- I'm thankful for Kindergarteners and the insight that they choose to bless me with. "Mrs. Lauren, I know how to milk a cow.  You pull their tail."  Love it!

y three-- It's almost the weekend. It's much needed.

four-- Parents who love me unconditionally and would do anything for me. Sacrificial for sure!

five-- DiscipleNow is this weekend and I'm going to be helping our church.  Let is be for you, God!

six-- I have so much to do but so thankful for the ability to get it all done!

TGIF.. almost!

What I'm Loving Wednesday.

{one}

My kiddos at school make my day with their crazy selves. Just being innocent and sweet!

{two}

I'm teaching my 10-day lesson tomorrow and getting it over with. After that, two months of a few projects and having fun with my kinders and I'm on the countdown to graduation! 

I don't want to talk about it. It's starting to hit me and I must say that I am pretty sad about it!

Pretty sure I need this! :)

{three}

Thankful that my brother's injury from the other day is healing. Thank you Lord! 

{four}

I need one of these monogrammed iPhone covers. Too trendy!

Duh, I'm from the South. I love my monograms! 

{five}

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken," says the LORD. Isaiah 54:10

loving this promise! 

(lettersfromcoco.blogspot.com

Seems like when I get stressed and flustered, as Marjorie says, I need to remember this and be thankful for it!

Remember my pottery finds from last years McCarty sale. well.. I'm going again on Monday. Stay tuned for new purchases. Excitement, much!

Happy Wednesday.. for another 14 minutes! :)

Top 2 Tuesday

Top 2 Things You've learned about Money:

1.) It's the Root of All Evil. Okay, as we all know that's Biblical. I don't believe that money is just green stuff that should lay around (obviously) ha! but.. I do believe that as Americans many of us have abused money and use it to try and show how much that we have or what we can buy with "our" money.  I love, am obsessed with shopping but I often look back at what I've bought and think about how I really didn't NEED what I have.  I believe that money is something that is necessary and fun but often causes more trouble than pleasure!

2.) I love clipping coupons to help save some money-- Every Sunday, I carefully observe the coupons that are given but often am disappointed in what I see.  I usually only find 1 or 2 that relate to things that I buy on a regular basis but it thrills me to know that I have a coupon.  I want to be one of those people that can go in a store and save $50 dollars on groceries. That would be awesome!

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you.”

r Maya Angelou quotes Now onto other news--- This baby has been BAD today. She chewed up my iPhone charger cord and it is dead! Ugh! She got chewed out. No worries, she's not going back to the doggie place yet! :) (Her nonna will kill me when she reads this.)

and.. today at lunch, one of my students says, "Here Miss Lauren" and gives me a 100 calorie chocolate chip cookie.  I take a bite and realize that it tastes AWFUL! I check the date on the pack and it expired in 2009. Oh, just 2 years ago. Poor kid. I quickly told her to give me the cookies that she could have no more. She wasn't happy but at least I'm not letting her die from grossness. 

It's been a good day!
