its pretty good

check out this blog... its pretty cool. 

the adventures of last summer.

::mally::

{this is mallory barkley, age 2}

I have been blessed to babysit her

for the past year and it has been so 

neat to watch her grow up.  She is 

approaching three and the terrible

twos are just settling in.  Mallory is 

hands down the girliest girl that I

have ever met.  She loves the color 

pink, all jewelry, dresses and tutus. 

She picks out her outfit everyday

and always comments on my necklace.

She has even asked me multiple times if I 

have a boyfriend and told me that her

"prince charming" is going to marry her. 

And I cannot even begin to tell you

how many times she has looked at me

and asked if we could go buy a white puppy...

l love this child. And i miss her already. 

Exodus 14:14

"the Lord will

fight for you;

you need only to

 BE STILL."

 i think this verse is on repeat 

right now in my brain.

PRAISE JESUS for that especially since

 I am not very good at being still. 

nacogdoches fun?

i have been home for approximately 

8 hours and so far i have...

*watched 4 episodes of gossip girl

*and slept for 2 hours.

{chuck bass... i love you}

boxes. boxes everywhere!

{the packing has commenced. thanks to catherine & sarah}

it is miserable. and sad.

calli cries & mindy cries. 

and crawf sells things on craigslist.

*and please denote katie's new perfect blog

**i also wonder if we will continue to use 'gig em' for everything?

please note the picture above.

summer: day one

this is lady liberty. we became acquainted last summer in nyc...

i am posting this picture because school is over-

LET FREEDOM RING!

and i am bored. really bored. 

& its only the first day of summer?

i wish my roommates would finish school already.

so here is a recap of my first day of the last "real" summer of my life:

i slept until 10 o'clock

& then starting packing my house...

which led to our kitchen no longer being useful 

& my room looking very beige.

i had some sushi with mindy and friends because she had a 

graduation breakdown {serious tears}

& now i am blogging about my boredom.

i am starting to feel like i am in nacogdoches and not college station...

final final

hello working world...

i am supposed to be studying for my "final" final, 

but i am too busy getting excited about having a job again.

i love having a creative job.

i love it that my ideas are sometimes good and sometimes weird.

i love that i get to think outside the box and be different.

i basically love my major & cannot wait to see where it takes me.
