Where has the time gone??

Geez...I have been the worst blogger here lately! I apologize to everyone.

Here's an update of my life:

First of all, I can't believe how fast this summer has gone! I feel like I just arrived in Florida to begin my internship, and now here I am about to be a college graduate in TWO days!! I am about to be a "big girl" and in the real world. Crazy. The internship has been fabulous this summer! I really have learned so much about overnight summer camps. I will be in Florida for about 2 1/2 more weeks, and then I don't know where I'll be. I had a phone interview the other day with the CEO of a YMCA in North Carolina, which went great!! I'm hoping that I will get to travel up there when I'm done in Florida so I can meet people within that branch of the YMCA. But I think the best thing that has happened lately is that I got to go home to Alabama this past weekend!! :)) It was absolutely perfect!! I spent a lot of time with my family, and got to see one of my sorority sisters get married.

I know this isn't the best update, but at least it's something! I will be better with my updates!

My 1st "Five Question Friday"

So I've been jumping on quite a few "blog bandwagons" here lately...my newest one, Five Question Friday. If you like what you see, you can link up here with My Little Life.





1. Do you think cursive writing is overrated? (Schools in Indiana have now voted to take teaching cursive writing out of their curriculum.)

100% yes! When I learned cursive in elementary school, I absolutely hated it! Well, at 22 I still hate it!! I sign my name in print, unless someone actually needs my signature. I'm a slow writer, so when I actually do try to write in cursive it goes even slower.

2. Do you still use a pocket calendar or notepad or do you keep your info on your smart phone?

I can't function without my planner. I don't even use the calendar in my BlackBerry. My planner is color-coordinated so I know just at a glance what I'm doing for the week. It keeps me sane.

3. What 3 things would you save if your house was burning down? (family & pets are already safe)

My pictures (Those are memories you can't replace), my camera, and my laptop.

4. Country Mouse or City Mouse, err Person?

I am born and raised in south Alabama, so what do y'all think?? haha!! I like to visit big cities, but I could never live in one.

5. If you could pick ANY reality show to go on, which would you pick?

Amazing Race. I am an active person, and I love a challenge...it's perfect for me. I think I would pick one of my parents to partner up with. Either one of them could motivate me to push myself, and vice versa.

Baja Bandz

I am always about giving to a good cause, and Baja Bandz is one of them. My boyfriend has a fraternity brother that is going on a mission trip this summer to Baja, Mexico. To help with funds, he came up with a fundraiser called Baja Bandz. He makes bracelets, anklets, necklaces, and etc. out of 550 Paracord. There are a few different styles and lots of colors to chose from.


Here is a picture of my bracelet that came in the mail today.


They are all a pretty great prices, and don't forget...the money goes to mission trip funds. If you might be interested in buying one, check out the Facebook page here. "Like" the page if you are even somewhat interested...he will be doing giveaways every now and then.

Might be a new obsession...

Oh my goodness!! Thanks to Lauren at Lights In The Sky I found out about Selena Gomez's new single, "Love You Like a Love Song." Now, some people that know me are probably wondering why I like her because it's not the type of music I typically listen to. But there's something about Selena Gomez that I just love! She's got an amazing voice and absolutely beautiful!

I thought I would share with ya'll her new single!! Enjoy!! :)
