Mud on the Tires.

Needless to say,

my birthday weekend was a great success

I am so blessed!

It started off with a delish meal at SATCO

and I picked up my friend Christian from Belmont

who I have not seen since graduation

and the food was to die for

love me some tex-mex

then off to Sweet Cici's for a treat

yums.

the night continued and another friend from high school came down to visit

Saturday, we headed to Bread & Co for an amazing lunch

chicken salad - omg.

then downtown for a little boot browsing.

and back to get ready for the Jerrod Neimann, Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley concert

We traveled to Cristine's house where her mother made an amazing home-cooked meal

she even had Chi O colored flowers!

my delish cake from Whole Foods!

my sweet girls

every one of them is a blessing.

and of course the main event....

the concert.

Oh.my.gosh.

Literally all I could've hoped for and more!

we had a bird's eye view

but we rocked it in the top.

such a fun weekend

I am exhausted

and not ready for another week of school

but I'm going home on friday and so very excited about that

a little belated birthday celebration is in store with some of my best friends from high school.

Georgia Woods.

For those of you who do not know--

Keith Urban is my favorite.

not only is he sexy

he's Australian

and so legit at country music

and his concerts--- oh, they are incredible.

ha enough of that

his song is the free download today on iTunes

"Georgia Woods"

go get it.

now.

it's so good- especially with the sun shining and all

always makes me want to roll the windows down and blare me some country music

well today, I went with Hannah to get my birthday present 

I hate suprises?

andddd ended up buying a precious swim suit from VS

check it out.

I realize this picture is a bit scandalous

sorry about that.

the top I bought is different

it has a bow on it

but I loved the print

you can get yourself one here

xoxo

Movie.

I cannot wait for this to come out

It looks like my new fav. chick flick

esp with mr. dreamy and kate hudson

sigh sigh.

take a peak.

Jesus Calling.

I have a little devotional book called "Jesus Calling"

if you don't have it... get it.

I can't tell you how many times I've been blessed by it

like this morning for example

I woke up an hour before my alarm

and spent some quiet time with God

and here's what I read:

February 18th

I AM WITH YOU. These four words are like a safety net, protecting you

from falling into despair. Because you are humans, you will always have up and downs in your

life experience. But the promise of My presence limits how far down you can go. Sometimes

you may feel as if you are in a free fall, when people or things

you had counted on let you down. Yet as soon as you remember that I am with you, your perspective

changes radically. Instead of bemoaning your circumstances, you can look to Me for help.

You recall that not only am I with you, I am holding you by your right hand. I guide you with

My counsel, and afterward I will take you into Glory. This is exactly

the perspective you need: the reassurance of My Presence, and the glorious hope of heaven.

Powerful words.

I needed to hear that so badly this morning

If our God is for us then who could be against us?

A thing I need to be reminded of frequently.

If you didn't notice the author-- Sarah Young-- writes as if God is speaking to us, His children

It's all the more powerful that way.

I hope you have a blessed friday.

xoxo

Sunshine.

OH how I love this fab. weather

Literally makes me want to go run in the Quad.

Obvs I would look real weird

but Hannah and I did go on a "power walk"

and a little power shopping as well

I bought this necklace at a cute boutique here in town

I saw it yesterday with Lauren and could not stop thinking about it.

Excuse my white v-neck

It doesn't quite go with the outfit.

butttt it's presh

and looks almost like the Stormy Seas necklace I'm dying for from Anthro

so I'm a happy little camper.

the windows open. the birds are chirping. the weather is BEAUTIFUL

literally can't stay cooped up anymore.

xoxo

Nineteen.

My birthday is soon.

February 26th to be precise.

I love birthdays.

Not just mine

All Birthdays.

It's your special day-- you should be treated like a princess

filled with cupcakes, nail polish and friends.

sigh

As you all know-- I'm traveling to Nashville with the girls

for the Brad Paisley/Darius Rucker concert

I love VDay

I got a package today filled to the brim with goodies

And mom made homemade cupcakes

my iphone pics are just not up to par

I now have my life back

I've been studying out the wazoo trying to catch up

which is what I should be doing right now
