united airlines

i took my best friend, brittany, to the airport today.

she's going to chicago for nearly a week (for a friend's wedding).

she's gonna be a bridesmaid.

that's nice and all, but she should come back.

like, now. i want to paint. and talk. and drink wine. or mimosas.

while eating chocolate chip pancakes. with strawberries.

i think i'm on to something here...like a girls brunch.

anyways, i love flying on airplanes. jealousss.

cinderella

i had to park on the roof of my garage again. in other news, i found out that i'll be completing my field experience observations in a second grade classroom this semester. which is awesome, cause i've already observed kindergarten and first grade in my program. annnd, we acted out the beginning, middle, and end of fairy tales via freeze frame in class today. whaaaaat.

i love grad school. and studying early childhood education.

gusts and swells

the weather this morning wasn't looking so good. but knowing that i wanted to go out on the water,

my dad decided to take a risk and spend another sunday on the boat. the waves were big and we were the first people to reach morris island. we thought we were crazy for being there. but as the day went on, more&more boaters joined us and it turned into a long, eventful day complete with cajun boiled peanuts from the burrito babe. and of course, raft floating.

missed exit

i think a lot of people get so caught up in the everyday rush of their lives that they forget to slow down every once in a while to appreciate and enjoy the special things all around them. after an accident on the bridge caused the blockage of two traffic lanes on my way home from class, i ended up taking an alternate route home. but rather than driving straight back, i opted to take a ride to the beach for a relaxing experience. it was soo nice to just enjoy the fresh air, walk in the water, dream about my perfect beach house, and watch the sun begin to fall. then, i continued my mundance life schedule with dinner at home.

{what a beautiiiful sight}

bookbag blues

after finishing five summer courses {all of which i earned an A in!!} i had seven days of summer vacation to enjoy. they're over now. so you know what that means...back to school. i'm taking 3 classes this semester & am hopiiing to not procrastinate as much. after all, i don't want to have another breakdown because i overwhelmed myself at the last minute. then again, i always say that. so what did i wear for my first day of class? a new dress, of course. i love the black and tan splatter look. it reminds me of outer space! i'm also obsessed with the asymmetrical sleeves and ruffle neckline.

late night street corners

omgahhh! i just realized i forgot to tell you all about the most ridiculous and amazing compliment slash pick-up line i have everrr received! story time. a few weeks ago, i went out with one of my best friends {michelle} and her college roommates, who were visiting from out of town. we went to a bar named henry's to listen to some live music by a super talented guitar player and singer that we went to school with. though i contemplated bailing on the late-night shenanigans, i was really glad that i went. it was nice to get out and hang with some giiirls. and jesse is completely sexy. and for the record, i do not throw that terminology out lightly. oh, and i sat on his lap for a few minutes. hahaha. legit. anyways, the best part of the evening was on our walk to the parking garage. you see, a group of guys were sitting on the curb on the opposite side of the street as us. while crossing the intersection, one of the guys began yelling, "hey girl in the red pants! girl in the red pants! i want to buy you everything!" umm thanks, i said with a smile. "and in 25 years i want to give you half of my shit!" how flatttering. he managed to propose marriage and divorce simultaneously! while offering me monetary goods. ding! ding! ding! we have a winner, folks. it truly made my night. so thank you, random drunk-sitting-on-the-curb-guy, i'm glad you liked my red skinny pants. much love.
