{No longer a Teen}

I am 20 and I am Blonde.

I had a birthday last week! It was such a fun weekend and day! You see, I got together with a couple friends and we all went camping! We went up to the gorge and went fishing and boating and riding motorcycles! It got a little crazy:) Then in the morning....all my friends had the priviledge of waking up to my bright and smiling 20 year old self! AHH:) I'm twenty.

I think 20 is a rough age. Lately I have been having a few mid life (20s_ life crisises) haha I will explain that a little later! But here is to being 20...and BLONDE! Kate and I decided late one night to get started at the salon on my lion hair! It was a long....4 hour process....but as the outcome, I am now Blonde! I love it, it is a great change and she did sooo good! She is amazing! Hairstylist of the year!

I feel so BLONDE,old, so young, so alive, and so adventurous...and a lot more FUN!!!

{4.0}

It is possible. Its not easy. It will be many long nights, many early mornings, and missing nap time. It is stressful. It is deep. BUT it IS worth it.

A little background information. I am a pretty confident girl, but when it comes to looking at scores on exams, or grades...I am a nervous wreck. Picture this. Stalling, and taking forever to even gain up the courage to be on the right webpage. Then...I carefully click my way to the "page before the big moment"....and pause....take a deep breath, and make a small hole between my thumbs and pointer fingers....and Look through the magical little diamond shape. I am ridiculous, but it never fails to be my routine....

Ladies and Gentlemen... I finally summoned up the courage to look at my Spring semester grades. Besides the fact that I set a goal for myself long ago to get a 4.0, and failing time after time (not literally getting F's) But not quite getting a 4.0......I went through the normal routine.

And......I DID IT. I got my first 4.0! Like ever...in my whole life!

I love this feeling when everything seems to pay off! I worked my little booty off for this one and I am so glad that I was able to pull it off! What a great semester...a tough one none the less. And now the Bar is set very high....Lets see what I can do now! Bring it on Summer Semester.....I'm praying it will be worth it again!

{Stalling....}

Why can't I focus? Goshhhhh....frustrating, but pretty funny!

Since when do I decide to make a full blown detailed and doodled list of my future children's names?
Since when do I decide to check every blog I ever followed....(well I do this a lot...but its NOT THE TIME)?!
Since when do I gladly volunteer to make an emergency run to Wal-Mart to get my roommate some much needed things hahaha♥??
Since WHEN do I love watching the same Lady Gaga music video over and over and overrr again??

Oh right......Probably during finals week.

Well, I could at least share the new beautiful song with you. I love the sax.

{FINALS}

Yes...Yet again I do believe Finals will be the death of me. Why is this week so stressful? And Why is it that during this VERY important week, I have the least motivation scholastically that I have ALL SEMESTER.....Yes, Finals will be the death of me.

But...When inevitably I make it through them alive and well...I will be looking forward to a special day. I will no longer be a teen. Yes, I am entering the 20 somethings.....♥ I am a little excited. I will be moving home and turning 20 all in the same weekEND. That is if I make it through finals.

I'm burried in books, craving every food you can think of, and trying endlessly to not get too distracted with my "study playlist" music...in the making. I am so grateful for the chance to get an education (on a positive note)!...I CAN COUNT THE DAYS ON ONE HAND untill I am done.

Then...bring on the summer school. Nerd Fest to the max, but I hope in August when I am facing finals again...I will be happy I made the sacrafice. Summer update will be soon!

{My Momma}

My Mom is one of the strongest people I know.
She knows how to fix everything.
She gives the best back tickles in church.
She is beautiful.
She has the best laugh, late at night when she is kind of delusional.
She has a beautiful singing voice.
She is always thinking of others before herself.
She deserves the whole world, and someday, I am going to find a way to give it to her.
She knows how to love.
She knows how to mend a broken heart.
She knows how to work.
I love looking at my Momma's hands...they have done so much.
I wish I could be with you today Mom.
Happy Mother's Day, you better know I love you from the bottom of my heart.♥

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mothers in my life. Grandmas, Aunts, Sister, Step Mom ( I love you Wendy)....I hope to be half the Mother's you are some day.

Ocean Waves...

I found this quote today, and I love it. It is empowering and makes me never want to give up.

Someday I want to live by the Ocean! Beside the fact that it would be amazing to run in the sand, lay out whenever I want, build sand castles, and collect seashells....

I would love to be able to see the Ocean everyday. It is so powerful and never stops moving. It is constant. It is beautiful♥

Mother {MAY} I...

Its here.

My favorite month of the year has arrived.

I love May for so many reasons:

Mothers Day♥

May flowers from April showers.

School ending...(Have to make it through finals first)

Legitimate Amounts of Sunshine!

My BIRTHDAY.

I love this time of year.....it is so refreshing to watch everything come alive! Everything goes from gray to green. I love the rain. I love when you can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. I love when you have to turn the AC in the car on for the first time (hasn't happened yet here...). Pools open up. I turn another year older and wiser! I love May.
