Happy hump day! We are halfway through the week. I haven't had a busy week, but I am just tired for some reason. I'm not really sure why though. Whatever it may be I am happy for it to be Wednesday!
So here's some words for your Wednesday.
A Belated Happy Mother's Day
I know that Mother's Day was on Sunday and I am a few days late with this post. However, when I went to type it up I found my computer screen to be broken...so two days later and using a different computer here's to wishing all the moms a happy mothers day! Particularly my extraordinary mother!
My mother is an incredible blessing to my family. She is my best friend, and has always been there for me. She is the coolest mom around! She takes us out, she dresses adorable, and she takes selfies with her daughters.
My mom has always made it a point to spend time with her daughters, especially after my sister and I have had busy weeks. She constantly goes out of her way to help my sister and I out. She is our rock, and we rely on her for so much.
Those 3 women in that picture above have changed an incredible amount over the years. I have watched my mom deal with her first and now finishing her second year as a fifth grade teacher. I have watched her deal with troublesome kids, and listened to her funny classroom stories. Yet, I also remember the time when she was struggling through college as she went back to school much later in life. However, like the strong woman she is she succeeded. She proves to my sister and me everyday that anything is possible no matter what weakness you have. I know that my mom would be there for us no matter. That I can tell her anything, call her up in any instance, or ask her any question and she'd do the best she can for me.
A mother's bond is unbreakable. We three girls are extremely close and that has not changed for us over the years. I believe that a mother's bond never leaves a child. I believe that we will always be close in our own special way. A way that is very different than most families. My mother, and sister are my best friends. I hope that I never take my mother for granted or the daily deeds that she does for our family. I pray that I can be a wife and mother like her one day. She is an amazing example.
I love you mama!
Friday's Letters
Dear Friday, The weekend just doesn't seem to matter this week. Being on summer and working a job that schedules me on weekends means that it just doesn't feel different than any other day. So yay for Friday!
Dear Summer, You've been pretty relaxing so far. A full week in and I've pretty much just worked. So excited for my summer vacation. Can I just hop on a plane already?
Dear Weather, I know it's only May, but I would really like the heat back. I know 75 is great but I need a good 80 to get a tan. It'd be much appreciated.
Dear Distance, So far so good. I think I can handle this.
Change
Change is something that seems to just come with life right? I mean we don't stay babies forever. We grow up, we go to school, we make friends, those friends leave and we make new ones. Eventually we learn to drive, graduate, get jobs, choose a career, and get a family. Change. It just come. Whether we are prepared for it or not.
But what about the bad changes? Who decides that anyway? We know whats right and wrong. We see when our friends from middle school change to the people they become in high school. We know that sometimes they change for the better and sometimes they change for the worse. It seems at each stage in life like that people change. Each stage they learn a lesson and grow up a little. Yet, what happens when a change is neutral? or even better, what happens when you feel one way about a change and others feel a completely different way?
Change.
It comes and we must roll with it. Take what the Lord gives us and let him mold us. Yes, that's what change is for. It lets God shape us into who he wants us to be. Some changes are hard, yet they bring the most good out of us. They set us free and let us explore. Other changes are hard and they shut us up and teach us a lesson. Each kind of change though is a lesson to be learned. Don't waste what God is doing. He has a plan through each change. He knows what is for the best and worst.
He's got it handled.
Easter Dresses
I know that Easter was a couple weeks away, but I haven't had time to put up a post about these dresses! I absolutely love these dresses. They are super light weight and flowy. I find them so comfortable! Plus the colors fit both my sister's and my personalities perfectly!
These dresses are from Forever 21 and they were only $10. You can't beat a deal like that! Plus they are easy to dress up or down which is always nice!

It's Time To Meet The Parents
The nerves...oh nerves. I guess you could partly call them butterflies. I mean butterflies are when you are nervous and excited at the same time right? So butterflies. Tons and tons of butterflies.
First impressions. You only get one. That's it. Just one. One chance...no pressure. It's only one day for a first impression. That's all I get.
They've heard my name before. They know who I am. You've told them about me. Yet, I am still oh so nervous! I want them to like me. I want them to utterly love me! I like you, and I know you care about them so I want them to like me.
This day has been planned for awhile now. We've been talking about it. Going home. You're taking me home. You've been so excited...I've been nervous. Don't get me wrong I want to meet them. You talk about them all the time. I know they are important to you. They raised you so very well, but I am still nervous. Hearing you talk about everyone, and what we'll do up there. There's a lake, and your mom works that day but your dad has it off. There's good food for lunch, and dinner with your family. Your sister and brother-in-law might join us. So many plans.
I've never had to do this before. I know most parents love me, but I am not confident. I am nervous. I've never had to be brought home to a family. I've always known the parents. This is a new experience. One for the books. You've been reassuring me. "I'll be right there." "They'll love you. I know it!" Yet, nothing calms my nerves.
So here we go. We're pulling into the parking lot. You say, "Oh look there's my dad, and my mom's car. And my brother and sisters car." The butterflies increase. You park and we exit the car. We're walking up to the breakfast place. You know that I'm nervous. You start to open the door. Here goes nothing!

Halfway Through
It's official! I am done with my 2nd year of college. It's summer time! The above picture is of my best friend Tori and me on the last day of the year. Below is last year, our freshman year, on the last day. It is now a tradition to take one every year. I can't believe that we are half way through. I remember my sophomore year of high school. It all goes by so fast!
I am so blessed by this girl though! She's the best friend a girl could ask for. I can't wait for the next 2 years and getting to walk across that stage with her. Here's to summer time!
