it's thursday again.

...two of your best friends and your mother blindfold and kidnap you. the ending was happier then the beginning though. don't worry.

... you make any kind of accidental loud noise in the library. it echos.....very loudly.

...you almost walk into someone and while moving out of each
other's way, he does a little jumpity thingy. you are not a boxer. stop bouncing back and forth like on. honestly.

 ...a friend from school knows it's your birthday, and starts
serenadeing to you IN THE LIBRARY.

 ...the same thing happens at your other job, and you get chased into
the bathroom by another serenader.

...you're school mascot is a sandshark and one of the profs. comes
up to the front desk and asks you "how do you sand a shark?" um...i don't know.

 ...you find a book entitled "who moved my cheese?", in the psychology section. i moved you're cheese. guilty.

... your shoes keep tripping you up, ESPECIALLY when you walk by someone.

two decades.

well, today is my twentieth birthday. i share this day with beyonce', or so i was told. 

um....yay for me? 

i think? 

anyways, today i really didn't do anything but school and work, which does stink with it being your birthday and all, but this past weekend totally made up for it. :)

what had happened was (and all good stories start out this way)...my friend, Danielle, tells me, not asks me, but tells me thursday night that i am going to come spend the night at her house sunday night. because i enjoy her company, i say "sure."

well sunday comes around, i pack the way i would normally pack for a night at a friends. myself, along with Danielle, Abigail, my mom and some other lady-friends go to lunch. danielle, abigail and myslef head back to the church afterwards, where the surrounded me, tell me to take off my glasses and proceed to put a blind fold over my face.  then after about an hour and many twists and turns, we finally stop driving (also after a bathroom break for SOMEONE and one other stop). 

does the blind fold come off then?

  nooooooooo.

my mom pulls me out of the car and starts leading me somewhere.

then she takes the blind fold off, i put my glasses on, and i find myself in the presence of what used to be three of my very good friends that i have grown up with. these three have turned in to very handsome citadel knobs! 

i haven't seen them for a month, so the fact that we were able to see then while in charleston was so great. such a pleasant surprise!

the beginning of my weekend really stunk like poo, but this made it so much happier.

the best friend and myself. 

the other best friend and myself.

and still another dear friend and myself.

dani and the boys.

and then we spent the next day just walking around downtown charleston, which is something i love to do. charleston is one of my very favorite places.

at the waterfront park in charleston, sc.

the whole litter of us beaufortonians.

thank you to my mom for making this happen. thank you to the nicholas's and Wes for making me happy for my birthday. thank you bray and zach for also making me happy. thank you danielle and abby for kidnapping and torturing me. 

you all are pretty dang fantastic and know how to make a girl feel special. 

:)

the weekly awkward moments are back!!

alrighty y'all.

school is back in session. and that means, for me, it's time to be awkward again. and i'm excited about it! yay for awkward!

... i'm going to turn 20 next tuesday (wink wink) and i'm fangirling (and i have loved them since they started but now it's just alot more) over a boy band. i get you thought it was going to be one direction. NOOOPPE. it's those attractive fellows in the link above. don't you judge me. there are alot worse things to listen to out there. and i justify it with the fact that they are either two-three years older then i, so "i have a better chance" then most of the teeny boppers out there. hahahahaha.......awkward.

...one of your two english profs. mixes up a miracle that jesus performed with something completely different. professor said, "locus's to fishes", whereas, correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe it was "water to wine."

...the other english professor, when talking about a project and saying that if we are "a control freak and have to have everything our way, that we need to get over our d*** selves move on. yep, he went there..

just so you know...

just so you know....i'm awesome.

so awesome, in fact, that i can embarrass myself to no end. my intelligence and smarticleness is a phenomenon.

today while walking to class, i was carrying my umbrella.

and let me tell you, if you live in beaufort county, you know it was quite the day for umbrellas. it rained like it was going out of style. thanks hurricane Isaac. USCB now has a lake. AND possibly a swimming pool. those weren't there yesterday!

anyways, it wasn't raining when i was holding my umbrella, so i thought i would try and be cool and twirl the umbrella around. i was doing awesome until about 30 seconds into my fun. and then....

i dropped my umbrella. everyone has that, smack in the face where they are doing something pretty well. and then all of the sudden, you make a fool of yourself.

the key is to play it off by picking up your umbrella and then pulling out your phone and continuing on your merry way as if nothing happened.

God is always good.

i feel like i have made a previous blog post with a similar title before, but i think one can never have to many blog posts with this title. because it is so true.


HE is so good.
HE is always good.

HE has been testing my faith to the max lately though, but has answered my prayers through and through.

i found out in july that i didn't get work study at my school, something i was blessed with for the entirety of my freshman year in college. so needless to say, i was bummed. BUT i was able to get on a waiting list for it. and i was near the top of the list.

i went and told my former boss at the library this news. she then asked me if i still wanted to work at the library. and of course i told her i did. so she said that if i sent her my class schedule for the fall that she would look at it and let financial aid know that she wanted to rehire me, so they wouldn't have to retrain someone and because they liked having me. (and that makes me blush....hahah)

well after some major financial and schedule changes, i got an email this morning from my former boss at the library, telling me to go to financial aid ASAP for rehire!!!

so it looks as if i may be working at the library again! i'm so happy! it's a huge answer to prayer! i loved working there last year. and this will help so much with my current financial situation with school.

my mom reminded me of this the other day and i am continually reminding my self: no situation is bigger then GOD.

and GOD'S timing is always perfect.

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to HIS purpose." Romans 8:28
