Most common question asked to me lately has been, "So, what have you been up to?" ...And I usually respond with a "uhhh...work." That is ALL I do anymore!!! I have been on call for the last 3-4 weekends at some point and my regular call during the week and just when I thought I had this glorious weekend off I got stuck with Sunday this weekend AND I'm on call all of next weekend.

I NEED A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a little overwhelmed with life in general at the moment

. I feel like I give and give and give and being a selfish human like I am I just want something in return, some appreciation, a hug, a phone call from a friend, just about anything! Now I do have a wonderful boyfriend who I am so thankful for and for all of his support here in the last 3 months because of

work being so so so challenging. Him being in my life could not have had better timing honestly! And I also have some great friends who I'm thankful for also.

Pray for me please...I need strength. I need patience. Thank you!

But on a lighter note, I got to use my nice camera recently and I got a picture of Haleigh that I just LOVE!!!

Her shirt says You Are My Sunshine

Some thoughts

Just some thoughts....

- I look at blogs everyday, whether they are blogs of friends or my favorite decorating blogs, just don't feel like updating mine too often!!

- I am very very very ready for warmer weather...more so spring than summer.

-I have an amazing boyfriend who I feel so loved by. It is so comforting to know that he is one of my best friends and will be there for me no matter what happens. God blessed me by bringing him in to my life. He makes me laugh just about every day! Thank You Adam for being my best friend for the past 6(!!!!) months and for the happiness you have brought me!! I love you!

-My job SUCKS at the moment. YES I am glad to have a job. YES I know that I am fortunate to have a good stable, paying job. It doesn't make me happy anymore and I'm usually ready to go at about 11 a.m everyday. I am just praying that it gets better.

- I want to get out of the country on a fun trip that involves a beach and sun working its way back on to my skin!!! Vitamin D A.S.A.P!!!!!!

So this is Christmas...

I finally got some Christmas decorations up!! And this is my first time ever buying a real Christmas tree since I have great access to a truck now the idea seemed very enticing...that and my fake tree looked rough last year! Here's the beautiful decorations and thanks to Adam for helping my get it and put it on the stand!!! Such a sweet man you are!

Something funny...

I just got a new "cell phone" and it made me think about breaking out all of my old ones to compare and just laugh at what used to be.

I put them in order of 1st to most recent. That first one was what everybody had at that time about 10 years ago. At one point I had a sparkle-diamond looking cover for that phone. The next one I had at the end of high-school and at Lipscomb and the ringtones on that phone still make me think of certain people! I even have a few old text messages left on that phone! And then the next one that I had for probably 3 years that I LOVED! I had that one up til last year when I got the Blackberry...which I will not have another one. And then the most recent and most fancy and not even classified as a cell phone! By the way 3 out of the 5 are Samsung phones. I like those guys.

Anyways...I'm sure you are all fascinated by my history of cell phones!! But wanted to just document and share what I thought was pretty funny! How far things have come!!!!

26th Birthday

I had a great and memorable birthday this year and I feel so blessed to have such great friends and family in my life right now!

Oh...and Adam is pretty great too!

Flowers Adam surprised me with!

#1 Nascar Fan!!!

I had the pleasure of being invited to go to my first ever Nascar race in Charlotte this weekend!! Adam had tickets in a box, with all you can eat, and pit passes!! I was just overwhelmed with everything to look at!!! There was so much to take in and it amazes me at what a production it is for just one race!! It was just awesome!! We got there well before the race and just walked around and enjoyed all the "sights." And just a little fun fact...they still allow fans to come in to the stands with coolers, i mean BIG coolers, full of beer. It's just standard!! So here are a few of the pictures I took to give you an idea of how it was...Enjoy.

Fans that camped out right beside the track and right by pit road. They put those couches up there on the risers that they built, which was pretty standard all over the track! Southern Comfort at its finest...Very cool...

OH...and the box seats way behind them are the seats that we had!

The Pit...

My kind of race car...always gotta support Target!!!

Adam and I in the Pits...

(I was SO thankful that they had "professional photogs" there so I knew I would at least get one good picture of us with my HUGE lens I had on!!)

Right before the race started...

Our view during the race!!! Box seats!!!

Driftwood Beach

On Sunday while we were in Georgia we dropped by Driftwood Beach for a couple of hours. This beach is covered in driftwood and made for the perfect photo-op. This place is just so cool and the pictures turned out so awesome. I would like to go back one day and take it in even more. Enjoy the pictures! And don't steal them because I know that they are beautiful HAHA!!!
