Cowboy take me away...
I'm sorry I haven't been a great blogger lately. I have been really sick.
I have been battling a severe cold. I have been sneezing, coughing, and sniffling like crazy these past few days. And on top of that I have had a severe headache on one side of my head due to my wreck friday night that makes me feel like I have a time bomb in my head, especially when I look down. Tick, tick, tick, throb, throb, throb..ugh
So ladies, I am taking in some much needed rest..I'm not to happy about my slacking off going to the gym lately, don't get me wrong I did go yesterday and I gave it my all, but I woke up today sicker than I was the past few days so :(
Anyways, back to resting I go, but if you want some really good posts go back and read my last 3 posts :)

The dating game...
I have been doing a lot of thinking and changing lately. Most of you know that over a year ago I decided to change my life around. I did this for me. However, throughout the past year I have made many steps in the right direction, but I have also gone back and forth into the wrong directions. I have been able to be easily pursuaded in many things, but however I have been able to stand strong on many, many things. For instance, I have learned to say no to going to parties and drinking. I also have been able to stay single and abstinent for a long, long time. However, after watching the four videos that I posted in this post, I have learned that although I have not been in a relationship, I have been looking and this preacher taught me that in order to find the person I'm meant to be with that I need to be the person that the person I want to be with is looking for. Tricky right?
Well, am I the person that the person I'm looking for is looking for? At this point in my life, although I am strong and although I am headed in the direction I want to be in and as much as I hate to say it I am actually not there yet. The man I am looking for would probably still not want to be with a girl like me, YET. But I am working on making myself into THAT girl that he would want to be with.
So this preacher challenged me to not date anyone for another whole year just to work on myself and make myself into the person that the person I am looking for wants to be with. I'm not sure if I should accept this challenge because I have gone so long already without being in a relationship, but I also am using that as my backbone to actually do this. That meaning that I have gone this long without being in a relationship so what is another year of singleness going to harm especially if it means that something great could come out of this.
Like the preacher in the video states "This is not a sacrifice, but an Investment".
So should I go for this whole year thing or just keep working on myself and when the time is right go back to dating?
Hoo Are You?
I'm linking up with Night Owl Crafting for Hoo Are You? Hope you enjoy :)
1. Do you exercise regularly and what do you do?
I surely do, 6 days of the week. I do Spinning, Zumba, Lifting, and Elliptical :)
(My fav. spinning instructor and the facility I use..This woman is all over the internet and all over the country but is from our gym :) Barbara Hoots you should check her out and see if she's traveling to a place near you soon)
2. Do you have any weird sleeping habits?
I go to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, literally. However I will only sleep under the sheets in my own bed which I even rarely do there. I always sleep on top of the comforter and cover up with blankets. I also go to sleep with atleast one foot out from under the blanket because I don't want to be too hot or too cold.
" Blanket on, too hot. Blanket off, too cold.
One leg out, perfect, until the demon from Paranormal Activity grabs it..."
3. How often do you vacuum?
My house is mainly tile and wood, but the bedrooms are carpet. I vaccuum maybe ever other week because two of the bedrooms dont even get visited often. However, I have to sweep and MOP a lot!!
4.Do you accessorize and if so what is your favorite thing to accessorize with?
Of course I do, I love to accessorize with rings or big nechlaces! I love big jewelry!! Well except when I'm going to church, then I tone it down some with a simple pair of earring and a small cute nechlace. I also love scarves and headbands during the winter, but my FAVORITE accessory is my SHOES!!
5. What is your favorite drink during the summertime?
I absolutely love Strawberry Lemonade..yum!!! And peach iced tea is right behind that!!
I'm looking forward to finding out about all of you.

Miscellany Monday
1. I was leaving the gym Friday night headed to meet the parents for supper when this girl came flying out of a resturaunt parking lot and never looked. I tried to dodge her, but she still ended up getting me passenger door, brand new tire/rim, and my back fender :( Not to mention I have had a massive headache to where I can not look down without my head throbbing on the left side along with really sore shoulders.
2. I did some much needed fall cleaning this weekend. I have so many boxes of stuff to get rid of.
3. I'm addicted to pinterest and can't wait for fall so that I can try out all of these cue outfits I have pinned.
4. I'm making some awesome changes in my life.
5. When I woke up this morning, I asked myself, "What is life about?" I found the answer in my room. the fan said, "Be cool." The roof said, "Aim high." The window said, "See the world!" The clock said, "Every minute is precious." The mirror said, "Reflect before you act." The calendar said, "Be up to date." The door said, "Push hard for your goals." The floor said, "Kneel Down and Pray".~
6. "Don't compare your love story to those you watch in movies. They are written by scriptwriters, yours is written by God."
7.
8. I also started a scripture journal last night. I feel like this will help me to learn my scriptures and also be able to keep up with certain phases of my life.
9. I finally got approved for a loan last week so school is officially a go again!
10. I went flea market shopping Saturday and found the cutest brand new never been worn brown heels. I had to get them. They were only five dollars :)
11. I saw Soul Surfer back when it was out in the movies, but I wanted my grandma to see it so after church yesterday we watched Soul Surfer and it made me cry just as much as it did the first time I saw it. I absolutely love that movie and it makes me think so much.
12. I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that I am growing apart from my two best friends. One is more involved with her boyfriend and is heading off to college this week and the other has started hanging out with other people that I refuse to hang with. She is hanging with people with lives full of drinking and drugs. She also is starting at the same college as my other bestfriend, but will still be living here. However I don't see myself hanging with her as much because I do not want to be involved in that type of lifestyle. I've had a hard road getting to where I need to be. I finally have my head on straight and I am working on my life with God. I'm trying to stay friends with her because I don't want to turn my back when I can help her, but I also don't want her to pull me down either.
Well this has been a whole bunch of randomness, but that's why is called Misc. Monday, right? So how was your weekend?
P.S. If you didn't catch my last post, I did get my hair cut and dyed. Click here to see what I did.

Wee Bit Wednesday &&& Help!!!!!
{one} what was one thing that you valued when you were a kid?
My granny..she was my best friend and I spent much of my time with her. She kept our family together (all of her kids and grandkids). We would all have dinner at her house and I always stayed there after school. Saturday or Sunday we would all meet there at lunch for a chili or something cooked in the crockpot day. We also spent a lot of time at the lake or beach. I really miss her.
{two} what was your favorite (+ lease favorite) subject in school?
My favoriter was probably math or english and my least was history...bleh
{three} do you remember your first love?
Yes, he chased me around the playground and tackled me and kissed me and then he got in trouble by the teacher.
{four} what one pet would you love to have?
hmm a monkey
{five} would you rather live in the country or in the city?
I've always lived in the country and always love it, but it's hard to dress up and look cute around here without being looked at like your funny so I really think I should live in the country near a big city that way I can have my cake (country life) and eat it to (go to the city so I can dress up).
{six} what do you love about blogging?
I love all of the people I've met :)
{seven} what is the first website you visit everyday?
Facebook..lol
{eight} will you or have you joined google+?
I don’t know. I don’t even know what it is.
{nine} what is your favorite scent of candle/air freshener?!
I love seasonal scents, like the fresh baked stuff. I also love anything tropical.
{ten} how would you describe your style?
Hmm, I am one of those people that likes a lot of different styles. I like a challenge and I love pairing stuff up. I love big jewelry!!
P.S. I decided that I would go ahead and attach my other post for today with this so I wouldn't have to post 2 posts and drive everybody crazy...please help me choose the changes for my hair :)
With all of the new changes happening in my life, I decided that a hairstyle change is in the mix also. My hair has gotten pretty long since I have posted pics on here.
My hair is actually even longer than this, but this is one of the last pictures I took :(
I have no clue who that chik is but I want her hair..what do you think? Will it look okay on me?
Next, I've been trying to decide between some of these colors and I need some help..what do you suggest...
So what do you think? Will the hairstyle work for me and what color would you suggest for me?

I'm back...Woohoo :)
It feels like ages since I have been on here. I have missed everybody so much. I skimmed through a lot of y'alls blogs last night and so much has been happening in them that I have missed.
Here is what has been going on with me:
~I've been taking summer classes so I could start at my new University in the fall as a junior. I passed all of them so hello new school.
~I've changed my major to Social Work and am so-so happy about it.
~I recieved the IV-E Child Welfare grant from GA only to have the Feds suspend it from GA for a while, so I am currently trying to figure out how to pay for school.
~My brother was overseas for three months and his wife and kids stayed with me, then he came back and they all stayed with me. I finally have my house back to well, myself and my parents.
~I have been on a weightloss journey to be more happy with myself. I've fallen in love with spinning and everybody already knew I was in love with Zumba. I workout 6 days a week now. I've lost almost 20 lbs so far :)
~I still don't have a boyfriend, but I'll just keep praying for my mister right.
~I through my niece an awesome tea party for her birthday. The kids and adults loved it!!
Well thats about all that's been going on in my life, what has been going on in yours?
