Happy Birthday?

Today was just lovely! Well really this weekend! I got to come home this weekend and on friday night I went to my friends appartment and we went hot tubbing :] it was so wonderful! Then today I got my hair done this morning and since it was carrie (hair stylist) 's birthday I brought her some lovely flowers :] ANYWAYS she did my hair and I did something kinda crazy and different but I went darker.. but surprisingly I LOVE it! She did this crazy layering method of like three different colors and it will deff fade more but its so cool I love it! And then I have been wanting a new digital SLR camera for my birthday (which is in June) and my dad decided to get it for me today so I could get used to it before my trip to Europe! OMG! best day everrrrr! I have been going crazy all night messing with it! I LOVE IT! ahh! It is a Nikon D5000 (a little bit better than I wanted even!) and it came with TWO lenses! But of course my favorite part is this really cute strap I got to go on it! Oh and then it was my daddy's birthday on Thursday so we went to the Melting Pot for dinner tonight. I didnt eat all day so I could thoroughly enjoy all of the food and I was still soo stuffed after but it was so freaking delicious. and now it is time for me to post an obnoxious amount of random meaningless photos that i took with my NEW CAMERA!!!! ahh can you tell I am BEYOND excited!! :D

 

and now time for the randomness...

 

 my super cute camera strap!! also it is super fuzzy and comfy!

messing with focus

 

thats all :] I LOVE THIS CAMERA! and tomorrow I am hanging out with my dear dear friend Kristen and we are going to go have a little photoshoot! yes there will be pictures! yay!

where is summer?

This morning I woke up 10 min before I had to leave to go to class and when I went outside with NOT enough clothes on it was freeeezing and raining outside. I am sooo sick of the cold weather!!! I cannot wait until it gets warm!!! Also I have 2 tests and a project due this week... but then I am going home!!! yay!

Also.. spring break is almost here! I am going to wonderful Honduras on a mission trip! It is going to be such an amazing experience and I cannot wait! I am so ready for a break from school and this will be such a great way to spend my break!

Today is officially March 1 which means that there are exactly 2 MONTHS of the semester left! I have soo much to look forward to with spring break and then the end of my sophomore year of college, which means no more dorm rooms! and then my study abroad trip this summer to europe! I feel so blessed that I have so many good things to look forward to and so many amazing people in my life that are there for me and love me!

So to sum all of my rambling up.. I want warmer weather, looking forward to all the upcoming events, and everything is so good in life right now!

Here is a preview picture of the amazing HONDURAS I will be traveling to in aprox. 2 weeks! of course I will post so many pictures when I get back!

 

Trujillo, Honduras

recent work

Ive been also wanting to post the 2 most recent projects I have done in my graphic design class. So here they are:

These two were for a photoshop tutorial and it was about recycling, obviously

and these are my first magazine spread designs!!!

i love my major! yay!

a few things...

i really want this:

ive never wanted a digital slr before but just being in the art building and always looking at wedding photography and other photography all of the time i really want one of these lately! this one is AMAZING! i am not going to go into business with it, just for a hobby :]

(also for my trip to EUROPE this summer!)

and i would like these:

I have two pairs of Toms buuut they never match anything i wear really and since summer and warmer weather is near (atleast i hope so..still waiting for that warm sun to come out--soo sick of cold weather!) i would like some cute plain ones to wear with everything!! and for my trips to Honduras and Europe!!! :]

donations for the first item will be gladly appreciated. but really i just would like it for my birthday pleeeease!

home SWEET home!

SO the craziest thing happened today! I found a place to live next year! There are these precious little duplexes on ave f that me and brittany have been thinking we wanted to live in next year and I drive by them almost every single day and today I drove by and there was a FOR RENT SIGN WITH A NUMBER! soo of course I called the number! and the woman that answered was SO NICE and then everything happened so fast some emails were sent and next thing I knew we were at the house looking at it! and we already put in our application and are paying the deposit!!! YAY!!! I was starting to get stressed out about where we were going to live next year and then all of a sudden it happened! God is amazing and I am so blessed and beyond happy that this is all working out! Life right now is so amazing! I am going to Honduras to do amazing mission work in two weeks and then the semester is almost halfway over! so crazy! before I know it it will be summer and study abroad will begin and I am BEYOND excited! life is amazing right now and I thank God sooo much! :]

and of course I must post a picture of these duplexes!! (of course we dont know which one we will live in yet but they are all the same) YAY!

 

UM YES PLEASE! they also come in a darker brown and blue :] 

SOO PRESH! LOVE! <3 (can you tell I am excited??)

Crazy Love

Soo basically I have been talking with one of my bestest friends Kristyn and I love her so much and we have been having super deep conversations about God latley. Like how God has to be in control of our lives or else nothing will be right in the world. I want so many things in life but i just have to be patient and wait for things to happen the way God wants them to and wait for His perfect and amazing timing, as hard as that may be. God HAS to be the complete center and focus and love of our ENTIRE lives or else we are nothing, we are empty and lost.  Kristyn told me to get this book called Crazy Love by Francis Chan and I did and have been reading it and it is really eye opening and humbling, it says some harsh but true things about living the christian life and what that means and how we should love God 100% and what that truly is. basically that book is sooo good. and everyone should go out and buy it and read it right now!! bonus it was only like $10 on amazon! :] AMAZING! and life changing!

Sing Song is over...

Well after a VERY long week, it is finally, and kind of sadly over. Sing Song was SO MUCH FUN!! I loved it! It was the first time I got to actually be in an act! We only got third place in our category, which i think was wrong but it is all good we had so much fun and that is all that matters!
Unfortunatley now I will not be as busy and I have to get back to actually doing my homework. So lame.

SING SONG FACE!!

 

Me and Anna Beth!

 

All the girls! I had so much fun!

Anways, I had an AMAZING weekend! :]
