Sunday tidbits!

This weekend has been very full and busy, but a great one!

Friday night a few of the girls from school and I had a girls night! One of the girls is moving to San Diego, and so it was one last hoorah before she left. It was such a fun night. We played cranium and it was a blast.

Needless to say, I didn't get home till real late and then had to get up bright and early with my mom and the hubster to head to North Florida to take my sister off to college and get settled. My sister was home the whole month of August after her first semester during the summer was over. And she had to move into a whole new dorm and so lots to do. We had such a great time and her room turned out so cute.

But at the same time have to admit I was a little jealous that I didn't get the whole college experience myself. A regret I always have in the back of my mind, and I know we're not supposed to live with regrets. Something I wish I would have had, but God had other plans. So I will just have to live the college life vicariously through her!

Spent the night at my mom's house last night and I went and got sushi for myself.... yum yum!! I attempted to watch



but TOTALLY feel asleep. Sorry Zac Efron, nothing against you, haha! So I guess I'll need to give the movie a second go at it, hahaha!

Heading to church this morning, so need to get my rear in gear and start getting ready! I love Sundays and hope you enjoy yours. Pics to come tomorrow of the weekend!!! :)

The proof is in the picture!

And this my friends is why it will always be GREAT to be a Florida gator.....

Feast your eyes!



Let me introduce you to the hunkness that is Tim Tebow, quarterback for the Florida Gators.

Enough said.

The End.

And plus that's all I got for ya on this Saturday!!!

and oh yeah.... GO GATORS!!!!!!

September 5th, Gator football is right around the corner!! :)

I'm # 1 :)

So a few months back I went to a thirty-one purse party. They do have a wonderful selection of all sort of things and anything can be monogrammed. Well, I bought this bag with my first initial on it and this is what I got...



Okay, now I might be mistaken but it totally looks like I'm walking around advertising that I'm #1, does it not? Apparently the lady failed to let me know in what I got they don't offer my initial in a capital letter so I got the lower case, and if my initial was anything but an "L" I would have been fine...

But I'm not that big headed and I'm not #1.... haha!!

Apparently the company will not let me send it back to get something else....

Hello customer service where did you run off to?

And not only that, but look at this...



Totally glued on people, and totally coming off!

Not happy, and believe it or not, it was not cheap!

So I'm going to take it to a local store here and have it monogrammed, and have the monogrammed stitched and NOT glued.

My question is, should I stick with just my first initial or do LKN, you know with the K for my last name being bigger in the middle?

What do you think? Or do you have any other ideas??

Happy Friday!

Answers revealed!

Last week I did a Q & A and here are some of the questions that were asked along with the answers revealed :)

Miss Honeydew asked: I have always wanted to know (about) how old are you? You look so young but seem so wise!

Well, I am 25 (I know I look much younger) going on 90, haha!!! I've always had people mistake me for much much younger. Will work to my advantage when I'm older, ha! But I have always had people tell me that I'm an old soul.

Kim asked: Do you have a boyfriend/husband & Have you ever been to Charleston, SC?

and...

For you to be so young, how do you find the time & faith to walk along the road with Jesus?
[I am a wife & mother, and young myself, & have a hard time following Jesus daily, I'd love to get more involved but some times I give up & know I shouldn't] Pray for me Please!

Nope, currently I do not have a boyfriend/husband! The road has been rough when it seems like everyone around me is getting married or having kids. But I'm reminded that I'm not alone in my singleness and right now I'm perfectly content in walking this road with God until he brings me to that person, or brings that person to me. I've come to realize that this time is preparation for when that times does come.

I've never been to Charleston, SC, but I have been to Columbia, SC, and Myrtle Beach, SC. But if you have an extra room I'll come visit ya, ha!

Kim, there is no perfect solution, everyone's walk with Jesus is different. At times I fail miserably in this area when at times all these things in life can block out that time that we need to be spending with him. With work and school, it's not always easy and I can imagine with being a wife and a mother and with all the responsbilities, it can't be easy for you either. Don't beat yourself up about it. Just continue praying that the Lord will allow you to carve out those times to be with him, in the meanwhile, he knows your heart!

Lindsey asked: What is your favorite place in the whole world?

I actually have two answers for this. The beach and the mountains!! To me, you get the best of both worlds. They both are so calming and peaceful. There is no other place in the world other than the mountains where I can fully sense just how big God is in the midst of feeling so small among those huge mountains. It's just beautiful to me and love it! And then there's the beach. There are many times where I've just been by myself on the beach and just had a good cry just at the beauty of it all. In the midst of the crashing waves and the sun, I feel like that's my meeting place with God. Someplace where I can just sit and bask in the beauty of it all.

Aishlea asked: If you could travel to one place you have never been, where would you go?

It has always been my dream to go on a mission’s trip and I really hope one day this dream will come to fruition. So I guess in answer to this question I’d have to say anywhere where I could go on a mission’s trip and have that experience. Oh, and Paris, Tuscany, London, Jamaica, and Fiji wouldn’t be bad either, haha!!! So I guess that was multiple answers for you, ha!

Mrs. Realife asked: If you were the character in a movie, who would it be and what movie?

Okay, this question would have been really hard up until just recently. But after watching the Titanic this past weekend, I would have to say Rose from the Titanic. Which might seem kind of odd because it's such a sad movie and I'm going down with a ship. But seriously, one scene that really stuck out with me was when Rose got put on the life boat to be taken to safety and then all of sudden she hopped off the life boat and back on the ship to be with Jack. All the while knowing she was putting her life in danger but wanting to be with the one she loved. To me, that was the ultimate act of love. And to be loved like that by Jack, and to love someone so much that you're willing to risk all that...yeah, I'd pick Rose. That was such a defining scene, and depicted so well how much they loved each other!

Sneaky Momma asked: What line of work are you in? I just love that you enjoy hanging out with your colleagues!

I have been working at a law office as a receptionist/do anything and everything that no one cares to do, haha!! It is so much more than just answering the phone, believe me. And I do work with a great group of people who are like family to me. Heck, I see them more than my own family, ha!!

Thank you for such great questions and hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me and I've so enjoyed getting to know all of you friends out there!!!

Oh, and I just have some exciting news to share. I never did tell you that my cousin/bff got engaged. Her and her Fiance have been together for a long time, so it's not going to be a long engagement. They are getting married in November and guess where they're getting married and guess who's going?????

I found out yesterday they are getting married in the Bahamas and so in November I'm going to the Bahamas for a weekend to take part in their big day!!!! YAY for weddings and especially weddings in the Bahamas!!! Oh yeah!!!

Just one of the many things I've learned along the way!

Sometimes I think there are only certain life lessons that you learn in your 20's.

I'm the youngest one in my office. This week I dealt with a co-worker who needs EGR (extra grace required). Where I'm at right now in life and my age the more and more I'm finding that you have to fight for and demand your respect. I'm not big on confrontation, which I'm working on that, but this week I had to deal with an issue head on and a few words were spoken, but I tried to be as nice as possible about it. And you know me, I'm such an easy person to get alot with, seriously, but I'm finding that if you don't stick up for yourself that people will think they can walk all over you and disrespect you just because your younger and think they can. I feel like I deserve the respect in which I'm willing to give.

Am I wrong in thinking that, because if I am, please tell me, ha!

This is especially becoming very evident to me in the workplace and think in other areas of life as well.

See, to me your 20's are hard enough. You're still trying to find your way. And all along the way you have this whole scenario of how your life is going to play out in your mind, and well sometimes it doesn't end up the way you think, and along with that come the insecurities.

Granted, I may not be married, don't have kids, still live in my Mom's house, but technically on my own, but in my 25 years I have gained so much wisdom and learned so much through my life experiences I've had thus far.

I think there's so much to be learned from people, no matter the age...

And that's just one of the MANY things I have learned along the way.

P.S.
Tomorrow I'll be back with answers to a few of your questions from last week :)

When the clock strikes 8:36 a.m!

Well, it happened.....

I set my alarm clock and then turned it off and guess I decided I was going to continue my dream and go back to sleep, ha!

So imagine my panic when I woke up and saw that the sun was a little bit brighter then I cared for it to be and my clock said 8:36 a.m.

Yeah, FULL ON PANIC MODE!

This is the first time in the six years I've been at this office that this has happened!!

I never got ready so fast in my entire life. No shower (don't judge), no breakfast, very little make-up, and no jewelry!

On a happier note, did remember to brush my teeth, ha!

If this is a hint of things to come, Tuesday, please have mercy on me!

Just thankful for another day, even if I was a late starter :)

Once upon a time....

In a far away land......................

There was a Queen...


and her two princesses...


(AKA: me baby-sitting two cuties on a Saturday night)

And we were held up in the royal palace...


It was a place truly fit for a princess and apparently they thought they could make a royal mess!

This princess likes to pose!!


Okay, and maybe the Queen does too!


It must have been the milk they drank??






And they couldn't decide which they wanted to be, Snow White, Aerial, or Aurora. Oh, the decisions a princess has to make. This is tough stuff you know!


And the Queen was kind of bummed because it was brought to her attention that the glass slipper didn't quite fit..


Maybe next time! :(

All on a Saturday night in Fairytale Land :)
