Steak and potatoes

It feels like ages since I last posted! I'm hoping soon I can get a camera so maybe this might get a bit more exciting for ya'll! Maybe...


So I don't have anything specific on my mind to blog about this time but I mainly just wanted to tell you about my next post that I'm working on so ya'll need to be sure to read it! 


It's the story of my life... and before you go "oooh geez like I would ever want to hear that!"... You should know it's so much more than that. It's about how I fell madly in love with God! So be excited and read it!..  


On a final note.. I was able to come home this weekend! I was welcomed with steak and potatoes. My parents rock. It's amazing how much my appreciation of home has changed in the past month. It's a good thing by far. But I am loving where I'm at. I wouldn't trade this past month for anything. God has been so good to me... beyond good to me! I'm so excited about the future, guys.. you have no idea! But anyway.. have a fabulous week!


p.s. if any of you haven't seen "The Other Guys"... go. now!

Show your teeth!

Today I was just thinking to myself about all the things in life that make me smile. Most of them are little things.. but they provide just enough joy to make bad days a little more bearable. 

So.. here are a few!

• When a Jack Johnson song randomly pops up on my iPod
• When I see other people smile
• Seeing people praise Jesus, even in the small moments :)
• Waking up in the middle of the night, only to see my sister sleeping in the most random position
• People who have manners (chivalry is not dead fellas)
• Crunchy leaves
• Rain boots
• Random texts from unexpected people 
• People who are genuine.. it's refreshing
• FOOD.. all kinds
• Those moments when someone says the same thing at the same time as you.. instant best friends! haha
• Bright flowers
• Hearing someone quote something from The Office
• Finding money in the laundry... score!
• Seeing God's plan in ACTION! :)
• The Dream Center, LA
• Jennifer Alexa Smith
• Praise and worship practice
• Walking in to my dorm, seeing my fish Max swimming around, and knowing he survived another day
• Chocolate
• Star gazing/sunsets/God's amazing creation... Seriously, wow!

Okay so I could keep this up forever! But I'm sure you don't want to read this forever. 

Soooo.. here's your mission: comment and tell me a few things that make you smile!
