Just for Giggles.

So I have realized that all of my posts up until today, have been a little heavy, so I figured that I'd lighten things up around here, because I love to laugh and have a good time y'all! And that needs to be shared with  too!

So the other day I was talking to a friend in the library and realized there was something under my shoe and what was it? Nothing other than a Dove chocolate. No. I did not eat it...that would be gross! But I opened it up and read the saying on the inside of the wrapper aka my favorite part!

How perfect is that? (: It made me smile, and made the homework I was there to do a little less dull.

And while I'm on the subject of scrumptious food, Starbucks has their peppermint mocha back for winter! yumyumyum! I am so thankful for the Starbucks on campus, even if it is fueling my caffine addiction. It's been so yucky and dreary around here for the past few days, and I just want to snuggle up with a cup of hot chocolate and sit by a fire. I have the hot chocolate, but no fire. I guess my heated blanket will have to do for now! 

Oh man even the cup makes me so excited for the holidays! I've had my christmas lights up since the middle of October, and have no intention of taking them down 'til May! I can almost smell the pumpkin bread baking in the kitchen or the cinnamon broom in my house. My stomach is growling, and I am ready for a trip home. Maybe the holiday sentiments are getting to me...I WAS singing "I'll be home for Christmas" yesterday.

I went to McKay's yesterday with my roomie, and after perusing the movies, and then the biology section (yeah, I'm a nerd) I wandered over to the cookbooks and craft section. There are so many things that I want to be: outdoors-y, craft-y, and a good cook. So maybe the detour to the craft section is what prompted me to FINALLY patch my favorite jeans.

It started off really well UNTIL I got my thread all tangled and had to spend 15 minutes trying to untangle it.

Clearly I am not a seamstress...

This is all the headway that I made until I decided, it was so not worth it, and switched to a different color.

The final result....drum roll please!!!!

Patch numero uno! Yep, that's a pair of valentine's day children's sized sleep shorts I had laying around. 

Annnnd number two! Now I realize that I should probably not quit my day job, or take up Family Consumer Science as my  major, but it works! At least from the outside...

Maybe not so much from the inside (;

Yesterday was a great time of fun and laughter, the earlier part of the week were a little more stressful and work filled. And last night was topped off by an awesome time of worship at Sanctuary with great friends. I had invited a friend who had never been, and was a little wary of how he'd like it. He's kind of a hipster, but also kind of southern (One day he'll wear Toms and the next day he'll wear cowboy boots). ...and very hard to read! But he decided to join us, and I was nervous the majority of the way there, concerned with whether or not he would like it. As we moved into worship, those concerns drifted away, and I decided that I was going to worship the Lord no matter who was standing next to me, and no matter what his judgements may be. About halfway through though, I  began to feel a drum beat being played on the chair back. And sure enough there was my friend playing the "drums", head leaned back, totally entrenched in worship. Praise the Lord! As we drove back to campus, I asked him how he liked it, and he said he liked it a lot more than he thought he would! And that he would try to go again with us whenever he could. My heart just sang with joy at hearing those words. I so just wanted him to be able to enjoy this beautiful worship experience that I am blessed to attend each week, and by God alone he did. I am so thankful for the Lord, and His desire to draw us ever closer to Him. And if the Lord can do that with him, then I am confident He will do it with me. Oh man, even thinking about it now, I just want to sing praise to the Lord! (:
