lazy saturdays

so this is the first weekend in ages that i honestly don't have one single thing that i need to do. i feel like i am always busy and am always on the go...but this weekend it is the complete opposite. i headed up to my parents' house last night and went with matty to sonic for root beer floats around ten. went to bed around 11:30 and then slept until 10:30 today when sarah called and woke me up :) i've honestly been curled up on the big popisan chair in our library downstairs on my mom's laptop all day. its been so nice just to catch up on emails, talk to friends online, and write in my blog! i have no earthly idea how to set this thing up to make it cute but when i go see meg in jacksonville, i'll have her show me! i'm normally pretty good with stuff like this but this site is confusing to me. lol. my parents are having over a bunch of kids from the college tonight for dinner and pool which will be a lot of fun. i can't decide whether or not just to stay here tonight or to go back to my apartment. i think i'll probably just end up staying here and hanging out with them. who knows. i just love lazy saturdays :)

a little about me...

so to start off my blog, i figured that for those of you who don't know me very well, that i'd tell a little bit about myself. and in order to do this in an interesting way, i'm going to make a list...yes, i love lists. i'm such a nerd like that ;)

i adore:
*sleeping in late every saturday and then reading my book in bed for hours!
*starbucks. enough said.
*summertime and being at the pool...or the ocean...or the lake!
*time spent at home with my family
*perfume section at nordstrom
*american eagle
*being in pajamas all day
*late nights out downtown with the girls!
*friday nights spent with jaime and krissy
*driving my parents' pilot
*road trips with friends
*coke - i'm addicted
*teaching preschool every day and decorating my classroom
*getting weekly manicures...it prevents me from biting my nails!

i despise:
*abortion - enough said
*when people don't turn out to be who you hoped they would be
*being cold - it makes my whole body hurt
*early mornings and hearing my alarm go off. i hate getting out of bed.
*the feeling of missing someone so much that it literally just hurts
*when anything in my apartment is remotely messy. i'm a neat freak.

so there's a little bit about me. i'm 26 years old and have an undergraduate degree in counseling and psychology. i plan on going back to school next fall for a masters in elementary education - and then hopefully, i can teach second grade! this will be my last year living in atlanta - and then its back to live with the parents for free while i go to school for a year or so. i plan on making this last year in atlanta the best one ever...which means spending as much time as i possibly can with the people that i care about! i have the very best friends in the world and i'm lucky to have had the same best friends for so many years now. kerri, karen, joni, jaime, jenny, and sarah - i don't know what i'd do without any of them. i love my family more than words can say. they've always been there for me and supported me - my parents are truly two of my very best friends. i'm so blessed to have been raised in such an amazing family with parents who model what they believe. i have extremely high standards and strong morals and although i make mistakes from time to time, i know what i believe and what i stand for. my relationship with the Lord is the most important thing in my life and i refuse to do anything to jeopardize it. . overall - i think that life is beautiful and because i know exactly what i want to do with mine - i'm a happy girl!
