Pearls.

Today was just another Tuesday at work, followed with some work on my car. So on to what I really wanted to tell everyone about.. Drum roll please....

I got real Pearls. 

Austin, Danae's brother. Recently came home from a mission trip to the Philippines. Once Austin was home, I received a text from him saying that He wanted to see me & give me the present he got me while he was in the Philippines. Now before I go any further with my story, I would like to say that Danae and her family the Stolzfus are like my second family.

With Mr Stoltzfus owning a airport while growing up Danae and her family travel much more then the average family, and To my surprise every time they would go somewhere Danae would always bring me back a little gift. Like when they went to Australia She brought me back a boomerang, and every time they go to Africa they would bring me back coffee or jewelry. 

When I heard Austin was going to the Philippines I didn't except anything, but boy was I wrong. Not only does he consider me his  little sister, but he got me a very precious gift that I will forever hold dear to my heart.. Pearls. I mean what girl doesn't dream of owning her own neck of pearls.

Austin and I

yesterday was rough

Yesterday started off pleasant. I did not have to be into work till 2, I was enjoying my morning by baking easter cookies. Afternoon hit and while I was working on pre-class homework I received a phone call from out of state. Now I wonder who that could be? (I thought to myself).. Boston Reed College, calling to tell me that the Medical Assistant Class I was registered for that started April 26th was being moved to September.......... I cried. & when I say I cried. I mean sobbing. I was a mess the whole rest of the day yesterday. It was horrible... Here I was excited to commit my summers to studying my brains out... than they let me down. 

Needless to say how yesterday went, I got my butt out of bed this morning to go hang out with a few Medical Assistants in my dear friends office. Had a great time and learn some new stuff. I dream that some day I will finally get into a office and talk with little old couples about the weather.. and way back when. *Sigh*... God has a plan, and He is in control.... 

It amazes me that every time I seem to think I know what i'm doing something changes..I feel like i'm back at square one with my life.. (I don't deal well with this feeling) Than I am reminded that.. 

"In all things God works for the good of those who love him and who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Its hard to believe that when your mad, but I need to remember that through everything God is building me to become the woman I need to be.. and apparently this Woman-being me- is not meant to go back to school yet.. 

With this being said I raise my glass to make a toast. To Summer.. long days at Chipotle, Hot afternoons at the Y.M.C.A. & Hopefully many fun nights with friends and family.

... well today went by fast. and late night rambling.

Today went by fast, only wish it could have been a little warmer. I rolled  burritos at work, followed with coffee with a dear friend of mine. Yay for coffee and friends. right? 

This would be day 11.. The the past couple days have been similar.  I promise to break out something more fun and cute in the few days. pinky promise. 

Sunshine Girl in Red.

On a side note: Something that I am really looking forward to is warm summer nights were I can lay under a cloudless night sky and look gaze that the little specks of light called stars.

Late night rambling: To be honest, I still believe that I haven't grown up from the little girl who believed in fairy tales and happily ever after. I still sometimes think that someday I will be rescued by a prince. (A prince with a bouquet of white roses- those are one of my favorite) I am a sappy romantic. I'm the girl that believes in love stories. I believe that superhero's and knights in shining armor will always help the damsel in distress first, But yet I have come to learn that fairy tales and romantic things are not always reality.. I don't think that is something we should give up trying to make our reality though.. I believe that when we give up trying.. That is what will hurt us the most.

Its love the Printer and the Laptop.. and lots of paper.

Today started out great, seeing as I got to sleep till 8. My Aunt gave us a printer over the weekend. (A very nice printer if I don't say so myself) I guess she just had it laying around so we got it.  

I thought that today would be a good day to see if I could be techy enough to hook up the printer to my laptop and print out some handouts that I need for class. I come to find that the printer and my laptop were made for each other, they hit it off and soon became real good friends. (Ryan will be so proud that I figured it out) 

With the printer hooked up to the laptop I started looking at what handout I needed for my class. Gezz were there a lot. I decided that it would be best to print out all the handouts for the whole length of the class... I mean I only used probably around 200 sheets of paper. I'm sure you can only imagine how much ink I used with all that paper. I printed papers all day.. literally. 

On to the challenge, Day 11. 

Blue shirt: thrifted, Black sweater: sisters closet, Shorts: thrifter, Flip flops: Old Navy. 

Don't be surprised if you see these shorts a lot! They are so comfy, I love them! 

Don't forget to check out my sisters blog. She is doing the challenge to!

Cowgirl boots on a rainy day.

Howdy :)

 Happy Monday to you all, even if it is pouring Cats and Dogs out side. On the brighter note (no pun intended) It was warm.. as in like 60 degrees instead of 30 degrees, which makes me even more anxious for summer & ice cream. In my mind ice cream and summer go together. As you can tell I appear to be in a pretty good mood, seeing that I did not have to go into work today you can probably guess that was the reason.

 On this wonderful rainy no work day My Sister and I went thrifting this morning and found some pretty neat items, which I am sure you will be seeing here in the next couple days.

 Now onto the forth day of the April challenge because I know you all have probably scrolled down to see the photos than choose to read the post. No worries! I am still thankful you stopped by. 

Dress: Gabriel Brothers, Blue Tank Top: Kohls, White Sweater: Sisters Closet, Cowgirl Boots: Thrifted. 

Foot Note: I love baby shoes! 

I saw these Baby shoes today and just had to get them!  My dear friend and her hubby are expecting a baby boy in June,  and I can't wait till his feet are big enough to wear these! 

& don't forget to check out my sisters blog she is doing the challenge too!

Saturday.. Grumpy Gills.

I have no problem admitting that I am a bit grumpy today.. I can only imagine that if i don't stop being grumpy by the time I have to go into work they might catch my drift and call me grumpy gills. Not to mention I am a little upset about missing the Indians opening game yesterday, and I am missing todays game. But I know the bills don't pay themselves.
Before I spout out any more of my grumpyiness lets look at what I wore today for my thrifted challenge.

Shirt = Goodwill :) 

Cowgirl boots, They aren't thrifted, but in my world no
one can ever have to many pairs of boots.

Shirt: Thirfted. Jeans: Kohls, Cowgirl boots: Hand-Me-Downs, Bracelet: Nicaragua.
