Everyone has a Purpose in Life

As I am coming to an end to my college career, I have really started to think about life and what my purpose here on Earth is. A lot of times people will say after someone has passed away that they served their time here and it was time to go Home. As you look back on that person's life, you realize what their purpose exactly was. From that, I really started thinking about what exactly God put me here on Earth for. I know what I want to do with my life, but that's completely different.

I have decided to change things up a little bit, and try something new. I have seen on other blogs that they have had guest bloggers. Well, I am giving someone an opportunity to be a guest blogger or possibly more than one. I want to hear people's takes on a person's Purpose in Life.

If you would like to have a chance to be a guest blogger and you feel like you have a pretty good grasp on a person's Purpose in Life, e-mail me your response at nataliecpierce@gmail.com. May 7th will be the last day to send your response in. After I have chosen a response (or maybe a couple), I will be posting it on May 10. I decided that day because it's my birthday and that will be something I will be looking forward to do!

Have fun! And I enjoy to hear your responses! :)

New Shoes!!

I'm pretty pumped about my new shoes!! I've been wanting a pair of Vibram Five Fingers for the longest time and today I finally got some! One of my friends called to inform me that one of the best stores ever, Sikes and Kohn, was having a sale on them! It was more like the best deal ever!! The shoes are originally 75$ but I got them for 25$!!!! Yes, I know they look kind of goofy but for the kind of job I have and the kind of recreation I do, they are perfect!

It's Friday, Ya'll!!

Happy Friday!! It's the weekend!! Not only that, but it's Easter Weekend!! I am so happy that my boyfriend will be in town this weekend, and he gets to spend the day with me and my family! :)

[This picture makes me laugh so much, so I thought I would share it. These are some of my closest friends in my sorority. We had our Parents and Achievement Day last weekend, and of course I had tons of pictures...this being probably my favorite!]

So blessed!

Well, last night was very eventful to say the least!

My sorority has our chapter meetings on Mondays so last night I went thinking it was just a normal chapter. To my surprise, in the middle of chapter the whole Alpha Tau Omega fraternity walked in. (And let me just say they all looked sooo nice in their suits!) They begin by actually singing happy birthday to one of the girls, which happens to be one of my best friends. They brought her a cake and a red rose which was so sweet!! After they sing that, they begin to sing another song and at the end my boyfriend comes to the front and asks me to come up there with him. I automatically start to cry! haha! Yesterday was our 10 month anniversary and I knew he had planned something special. I only remember about the first sentence he said which was, "The past 10 months have been amazing with you..." and the rest was a blur. He then pulls out a box with a necklace in it. It's a tradition of their fraternity to make that first "big step", in promising the girlfriend in marriage somewhere down the road. It was the sweetest thing ever!! John was nervous, but that's understandable. I actually had to hold his hands to put the necklace on me...it made it even more sweet, in my opinion. haha!

John is the most amazing guy ever!! The past 10 months have flown by, and this summer will be the first time we have to be apart. I know it's going to be so hard not to see him daily, like I do now. But I know in the end, everything will work out between us.

And a big thanks to Edward, one of John's fraternity brothers, for taking pictures last night! They turned out amazing!!

[This was taken on my phone so it's not the best picture.]

I just have to keep telling myself:

2 1/2 more weeks, and I will be done with tests, papers, and presentations forever!! I just don't understand why all of my professors decided to have all of the tests and presentations just a couple of weeks before finals start!

[I thought this picture was pretty funny, so I thought I would share it! haha!]

If you're reading this and in a sorority and you've gone through your senior year, you will relate to this post very well. If you haven't gone through that last year together, brace yourself for what is to come.

I am coming up on the last few weeks of being an active member of Alpha Gamma Delta. I honestly have no clue if I would have survived the past 4 years if it were not for my sisters...especially my pledge class sisters. After running to the AGD house on bid day knowing only 3 other girls that just pledged with me, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was home. My pledge class sisters have a special place in my heart. Every single one of them has made an impact on me in some way, whether they know it or not. This past weekend, the remaining girls in our pledge class (plus a few that weren't there) had one last trip! We drove down to Gulf Shores and had a fun and relaxing trip. We went on a 60 foot boat all day Saturday!! We had a great day, even though it was overcast. As I looked around at all of the girls, it almost brought tears to my eyes when I realized that this is all going to be over soon.

To the Alpha Gamma Delta-Gamma Sigma pledge class of 2007:

"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see, I'll be the light to guide you...
...You can count on me like 1,2,3 I'll be there,
And I know when I need it, I can count on you like 4,3,2 and you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do"
