Do you....

Ever feel like this?
That's how I'm feeling right now.

Remember that new job? They offered me a promotion.

Why the stress? I'm completely under qualified. I've only been there a month. I still ask question after question. But, apparently they see something in there that made them offer me the promotion.

So, thank you New Haven for believing in me. Next step? Making myself believe that I can do it.

Oh, but I promise my life isn't completely full of stress.
See? Nothing stressful about this :) This was taken at my friends reception.

Tay Bev (One of my besties from high school) got married. She was a beautiful bride!
Friends from HS. So fun being together again!


Congrats Tay Bev! So excited for the 2 of you! I can't wait to come and visit you and get to know Robb!

My Husband

My husband is a good sport.
He puts up with watching shows like:


{Project Runway}

{So You Think You Can Dance}

{16 & Pregnant}

{Teen Mom}
{Sister Wives--Yes, I admit it. I watch this. And I like it.}

However, just because he puts up with my shows doesn't mean I don't put up with a lot of his shows.
Just to name a few:
{Anything and EVERYTHING on ESPN. Even Golf. No, really. Ask me a sports question, I just might know the answer.}

{The Walking Dead. It's a zombie show. It's disgusting.}
{Teen Wolf. What is it with guys and demony type things? I don't understand.}

So you see, I put up with a lot of shows as well. However, most recently I have made Colton put up with the worst of the worst shows. I truly believe I have. Now, it's not a show that I have ever watched before, nor do I watch entire episodes. I just find the best parts of the episode and make Colton watch it. What is this show?

{The Bachelorette. I know. Gross.}

But really, do you not find Bentley terribly lame, annoying, and rude? While others might be hating this season because of him, he happens to be the ultimate draw for me. What a little gem.

Isn't my husband such a good sport to put up with all of my lame TV shows? :)

New Job/ Internship!

I spent what felt like {FOREVER} searching for an internship that would be {PERFECT} for me. After numerous interviews, turning offers down, and being selfish by wanting a paid internship, I FOUND ONE!

I have now been working for a couple of weeks at an
{adolescent girls treatment center!}

What do I do there? Hang out with the girls. Whatever they are doing (watching a movie, swimming, sitting and chatting, etc...) I do. So really, I get paid to hangout.


This job/internship is nothing short of an adventure from day to day. Here are a few things that I have gotten to experience in my short time at the center...

  • Girl ripping chunks of hair out.
  • Girl going missing.
  • Being told I'm "not making friends" because I told girls to go to bed... 15 minutes after they were supposed to.
  • Being told I should become a regular staff so I can be there more often. (Wahoo! I think they like me!)
  • Learning I am grateful for enjoying my teenage years.
  • Getting to learn how to put girls in holds/restrain them.
  • Strip searches
  • And the list could go on........................
While most of the stuff should terrify me/make me freak out/make me want to quit.... It actually makes me enjoy the job more, because I know that
{I can make a difference.}
