Sunday's are the Best

Seriously, Sunday has to be one of my favorite days of the week. I just love Sundays! This Sunday started with a trip to my Fayetteville church, the Church at Arkansas. I love this church, after coming to college it took me a little while of church hopping before I finally settled with the Church at Arkansas last year. This church is super college focused which is great. Schuett and Nat decided to come with me today to check it out and since everyone was going Dani decided that she wanted to see where we went to church so she tagged along too! I met up with Meag once we got there. Meag's been my church going buddy since freshman year. Since we go to the same church back home it was easy for us to find a church that we both liked up here. The service was great today with probably my favorite line being that "Faith is an action word." This really seemed to hit home with me since its easy to just have faith and not act on it which isn't the way God intended it. After the service I had the opportunity to run into Brad and Debbie who are the couple that runs AAO the non-profit I interned for last semester. I love running into people I haven't seen in a while and it was nice to quickly catch up. After church we decided to grab a quick bite at La Huerta before heading home. Apart from church my other favorite part about Sundays is using them as a day to prepare for the upcoming week. I decided that today I should tackle some cleaning and homework. I love having a clean house at the start of the week and even better was that I got all my laundry done too. Its so nice to start the week without the stress of those little things hanging over my head. Jacob got back into town around five so I headed over there to get some things my parents had sent back up to me and decided to stay and eat dinner with him. Have I mentioned how stinking excited I am that he goes to school up here?, because I'm ridiculously thrilled. I'm now back home trying to finish up some homework for later in the week while watching The Princess Diaries, I'm such a sucker for chick flicks, ha. Happy moment for the day was getting to eat the leftovers my parents sent up with my brother for dinner. It was so fun to catch up with him and have a free meal! Well, bloggy friends I hope ya'll had a great Sunday too!

I've Got A Pocketful, Pocketful of Sunshine

Hello world! I have missed you dearly, the blogosphere has been a little low on my priority list this past week, which is so unfortunate since it was my new year's resolution to document 2010. Let's see what all I have been up to since we last chatted. When I first logged on tonight I thought it had been a week since I updated but I just realized that it has only been 4 days which makes me feel a little better. So let's see, on Friday my groups rolled out with some stellar presentations. We had Big Red come in to our class for Selling and Sales to assist with our presentation, which was a huge hit with our class and teacher. So after that Kara and I hit the road for Cway. Most of my friends were heading home for the weekend and since last weekend's trip seemed a little short since I got home so late I figured why not make a hair appointment and head home. We had a little jam session the whole way home and caught up on life in general which was great. It's so strange to go from living with someone everyday for two years to having to actually schedule hang out time. I got my haircut on Friday afternoon, which was definitely my happy moment for that day. I love my hairdresser, she rocks and I always love the way my hair looks afterwards. On Saturday, the whole family loaded up and went to the races in Hot Springs. Jake and I hadn't ever been before and it was a blast, I just love my family. Mom and I were talking about it later how we feel so sad for people who don't enjoy spending time with their families because we all just have so much fun together. I think part of the reason I love weekends at home has to go to the consistency of Sundays, I love waking up on Sundays knowing exactly where we will sit at church, knowing that I will almost always being running 5 minutes later than I should be, knowing Jacob will be mad because I wasn't ready on time, knowing that we will eat Cracker Barrel afterwards, and that I'll then get to come home and change into my bumming clothes. All in all, it was a wonderful weekend and my happy moment for today goes to coming back and being reunited with the "group." I just love my friends, they are just so stinkin' wonderful I don't know how I ever lived without them. I know this was a long post but one last thing: On Tuesday I have a very special treat for all my bloggy friends, Katie Schuett is going to guest blog!!!

Sunday Funday

Whoops, I almost forgot to update today. Today was such a busy day I had literally already turned off my light before I remembered that I wanted to go ahead and update. So currently I'm keeping Katie Schuett company in her fabulous closet while she works on stuff for initiation week and I update the blog. Today, Meagan, Abbi, and I went to church and the sermon was so good. It talked about showing God's love to one another and loving people even when the natural response isn't to love. So this week's challenge is to try and apply that to my life. After church we decided to venture to Springdale and eat some Cracker Barrel. It was such a nice normal thing to do, since when I'm home we go to Cracker Barrel almost every Sunday after church. After that we ran a few errands around town until I had to be back at Chi O for a meeting. The meeting went super well and I'm really excited about my position even if learning all of what I have to do was kind of overwhelming at first. After my fun little training session I had a few things to finish up before the week starts. I know this week will be crazy busy but that will be good because I'm way excited for the weekend. This weekend Nat turns 21 so we're all going out to dinner and stuff for her birthday and that should definitely be a good time. This is my last week of school that isn't completely filled with tests and projects so I'm hoping to be able to get a little ahead and prepped for the rest of the semester. Today's happy moment was putting up all my clean clothes, I love starting the week with everything clean and put in its place, I just can't help it I'm an organizational nerd. Today's random picture is from when Katie and I accidentally matched. I had to put it up because we matched again today, I guess it's just a Katie thing, even if she is a fake Katie. Sweet dreams blog friends.

I'm Back

So, after making a big deal on my last post about trying really hard to update everyday I miss two days. In my defense the Internet in the house has been down, weak excuse but at least I actually have stuff to say since I missed some days, ha. Let's see on Sunday I went to Church at Arkansas with Meagan and Abbi. The sermon was so good. It was on how we should be less selfish which is something I struggle with. It's so easy to be unselfish when you want to be but so hard to be unselfish all the time. It's been my goal for the week to be less selfish and I'm trying to do it not just in big things but also in all the little everyday things. I keep reminding myself how much it can help brighten my day when someone sacrifices her time or energy for me so the least I can do is do it for someone else. After church I spent the afternoon catching up with some friends I hadn't had the chance to see in a while. Sunday night since we didn't have school on Monday we went over to Nic and Austin's house and hung out. So see blog world I actually do go out some, ha. Monday was a fairly calm day with not a whole of stuff going on. I met my parent's in Alma to pick up some stuff I forgot when I moved back up. It was good to see them even if it had only been a week since I came back, I am definitely a family person and love getting to see them every chance I get. The picture I put up is from Dad's day this year and I just love it, I put it up in a frame in my room just the other day. This week is going to be a busy week. I had a GAMMA meeting this afternoon and start my internship tomorrow. We have Bible study starting on Thursday and I am so excited about that I love the girl's in it and Colby and Amy do an awesome job leading it. I learned a whole lot last semester during it so I'm eager to start back up. I guess I should probably wrap this up and finish up some stuff for class tomorrow. My little bit of happy moment for the day was having time to hang out with Kara between class and GAMMA. It's still so weird to go from seeing her everyday for two years to having to actually plan to hang out. I got so lucky when it came to roommates because we just worked so well together. Well it's good to be back blogging, talk to you tomorrow blog world.
