Miscellany Monday

one. I made a very last minute decision this morning. I dropped my summer school class! I decided that I can always take two classes next summer and that I deserve to have my entire summer break. I have been encountering so much stress lately so I felt it would just be best to not push myself into something I didn't have to do.

two. Please pray for my family and I. I feel like my family is falling apart...I have been nothing but completely responsible and respectable but my parents have been questioning me constantly. I don't know what I did to make them lose trust in me (I truly don't) but I feel like I don't deserve to be treated the way they are treating me. It makes me feel like all my hard work with school, working three jobs, and helping around the house are just going unnoticed. I work hard so that I can prove myself as a valued member of my family and my boyfriend works just as hard to do so; he has always been very close with my family. So why all of the sudden are he and I being treated like we can't be trusted?? It is leaving me feeling  confused and really hurt.

three. Yesterday I had a lovely day at my boyfriend's house. We gardened in the morning. All of our plants are fruiting! We have watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers, tomatillos, eggplants, cannelope, okra...etc. It is so exciting to see results after putting so much hard work into it. Yesterday we also went to Ruby Tuesday with Rusty's family for lunch. The food was so delicious! Don't know why I had never been there before.

four. With all of this time I am going to have on my hands, today is going to be dedicated to cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I am going to clean out the inside of car and my bedroom today. I love feeling productive :)

I apologize for the mixed emotions in this post but that's how I feel! I am so happy when I am with my boyfriend's family but I feel like being with my family is the complete opposite. I am just hoping and praying that all of this passes because I am determined to have a good summer.

Happy Monday friends!

The big 8

Happy Birthday to my lovely sister Kloe!

She is 8 today :)

It's so hard to believe it has been eight years since she was born. Kloe was born on Mother's Day eight years ago and she definitely has been a blessing to my family. 

     

Happy Wednesday!

If it's not one thing...it's something else.

  
Happy Tuesday lovelies!

I know I promised more blogging from me after school ended but I didn't realize that I would be scheduled at work a ridiculous amount. I have been working nonstop at the restaurant and am sooo exhausted. It really hasn't felt at all like summer and it sucks because I start my summer class next week. I am hoping to maybe go to the beach on Sunday though so that I can relax at least once during the two weeks I had off.

Regardless of working again tonight, I am determined to have a good day and maybe do some late night swimming after work. I really wish there was more for me to blog about but it's just been work, work, and more work for me lately!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Go link up with Jamie!

I am loving that I am freeeee of school...at least until my summer class starts but nonetheless I get two weeks off.

I am loving that last night the boyfriend and I had a double date with my BFF Hannah and her boyfriend, Robbie. We went to Chilli's and I had the beef fajitas...yummy!

I am loving that on Monday I got to enjoy a yummy cucumber and tomato salad straight from Rusty's garden.

    

   

I am loving that Rusty and I are finally caught up on The Big Bang Theory! We have been watching it nonstop to catch up with Season 4. Really funny show so watch it :)

  

Have an amazing Wednesday!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

         

Besides work tonight I have a free day for studying but I figured I have plenty of time to take a break and blog :) So I am going to link up with Jamie and tell ya what I am loving.

I am loving that after Monday, I am done with my Spring semester of school. Lord knows I need a break.

I am loving that today my dad's restaurant is catering for my boyfriend's job. I hope that they like the food and use our place for future events!

I am loving that my blog is in the process of getting a much needed makeover.

I am loving that I have wonderful blog friends that are there for me when I need them.

I am loving sandals! I  have been wanting to go shopping for summer sandals for a while now but I really should be thinking about what to do for my mom for Mother's Day...

Here are a few I found at Forever 21:

   

Have a wonderful day!

Easter and the Power of Forgiveness

Hello Lovelies!

I hope that all of you had a very enjoyable Easter with friends and family :)

I have been going through so much lately...it's a long story but I have been working on feeling secure in who I am as well as my ability to forgive. It's so incredibly hard and I am praying every day for God to help me through this tough time.  

Even though I have been a mess lately, I had a great Easter with my family and my boyfriend.

  

                                                            

                     

        

This is the beginning of Finals Week for me so I am VERY anxious to get through this and have some time off from school. I will certainly have lots of time to blog :)

Happy Monday!

A Break Among this Craziness

I woke up early today so even though it's my day to sleep in, I figured I would post some cute pics that I have taken lately.

My cousin Ryan has been in the Army for the last two and a half years and he finally got back to the U.S. after being deployed in Afghanistan. He hasn't seen my family in a few years so he decided to use some of his time on leave to spend in Florida with my family.

It was so nice to have him here and he hit it off great with my boyfriend :)

       

I only have about two more weeks left of school so I am very excited to say the least.

Happy Wednesday :)
