A Penny For My Thoughts, Oh No I'll Sell Them For A Dollar

I'm up late I know, but I am trying to study and got distracted by my lack of dedication for this blog!

I don't know why I am such a slacker on making sure I update everyday but I just am!

Sorry!

So to get things back on track AGAIN,

I am gonna have to cover a few days!

Bear with me!

Day 19: A picture of yourself

This is from Easter last year when me and Lu got creative and dyed Easter eggs!

I was real excited about it as you can tell!

Day 20: The meaning behind your blog name

Well I have already kinda of talked about this in my very first blog but I will share again!

I believe that God is in control of our lives.

I am comforted by the fact that God has a plan for my life and no matter what road I chose,

He will lead me back to Him.

So I take life one step at a time because I want to make sure I am walking the path that God

has chosen for me.

I also want to enjoy our life here on earth and savor God's amazing work.

But I am also so looking forward to spending eternity with Him in heaven so it kinda goes both ways!

Day 21: A photo of something that makes you happy

This is my family outside my family.

Let me break it down for you:

When I was just a little tot of 4, my mom met Ms. Tina when I was taking swim lessons with her daughter at the YMCA.

They bonded and me and Christina became best friends!

Then we started going to the same church where we met Mrs. Holly.

The three women became life long friends and the rest is history!

Our three families, which have grown to include many wonderful children, go on vacation every year since we all live in different cities and do not get to see each other often.

I consider both of these friends more than just family friends, I consider them family.

I know that if anything went wrong or I needed a place to stay or just get a home cooked meal (Ms. Tina)

all I have to do is call them up and they would be there no matter what!

I love y'all!!

Day 22: A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Well I cannot think of anyone who has hurt me recently.

I am pretty tough and it takes a lot to hurt/make me angry.

I think I hurt myself more than anyone but I won't bore y'all with my own drama!

I think that catches us up to date!

Sorry for such a long post!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Stay sweet!

Many Are The Plans of the Human Heart...

But it is the Lord's purpose that prevails!

Proverbs 19:21

This has become one of my favorite verses lately!

I love knowing that no matter what crazy plans or ideas I come up with, God's will is greater then my best decision.

Once again I have been slacking with this 30 day challenge!

So I am gonna catch y'all up again!

Day 16: Your celebrity crush

Well that is easy, Law and Order: SVU is my FAVORITE TV show and Stabler is my favorite person on the show so it has got to be Christopher Meloni!

Sure he is a little old but he is a hottie! aah

Day 17: A picture of you and your family

This is the best picture of our family hopefully we can get a better one in the future!

Day 18: Something you crave a lot

Well I crave a lot of things but above all it would probably be humus and pretzels/celery and mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Especially Blue Bell mint chocolate chip. It is the best!

Well I am about to start a crazy week but hopefully I can keep this thing updated!

ROLL TIDE by the way! What a good game!

Stay sweet!

I'm A Slacker...

So I have been pretty distracted these past couple of days so this is gonna be one big post!

Enjoy!

Day 11: What is in your makeup bag?

Well I use liquid foundation, powder, blush, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, all my brushes, eye lash curler, tweezers, and my pencil sharpener.

I got a Vera Bradly makeup bag for my high school graduation and I love it!

It is really dirty though cause I spill things a lot!

Day 12: A photograph of the town you live in.

Since I grew up in Pensacola, FL I consider that my hometown and it is where I tell people I am from, BUT

my family moved to Daphne, AL after I moved off to UA for school.

So technically I live in Tuscaloosa, AL for school but I go home to Daphne and I am from Pensacola...gah so complicated!

So I am just gonna post pictures of all three!

Day 13: Your favorite musician and why.

RASCAL FLATTS is my all time favorite band ever!

I love how I can relate to the songs!

They sing about life, love and everything in between!

You can jam out and belt all of their songs at the top of your lungs!

I have seen them four times in concert and they are awesome!

Day 14: A TV show you are currently addicted to.

GLEE!

If you have not seen Glee yet, you have got to watch it!

It is like a musical TV series!

They do currant and old songs!

It is great!

Day 15: Something you don't leave the house without!

Obviously my cell phone, keys and wallet!

I also almost always take my sunglasses and ipod!

I also celebrated my 22nd birthday yesterday!

We had a big group of friends go eat!

It was a ton of fun!

Thanks to my loving friends and family for making it a birthday to remember!

Stay sweet!

Day 10: A Photo of Your Favorite Place to Eat

So today is a picture of your favorite place to eat!

I love trying new places and I really don't have a favorite but if I had to choose it would be a tie between Chick-fil-a and Newks.

I love Chick-fil-a nuggets, fries and sweet tea!

Newks has so many good things on their menu but my favorite is their Cobb salad!

Til tomorrow!

Stay sweet!

Day 9: A Photo of the Item You Last Purchased

Story of my life...I'm trying to write a paper for tomorrow and what do you know I cannot concentrate!

So I am going to go ahead and do day 9 of 30 for my blog challenge!

Today is a picture of the item I last purchased...since I am on a budget it was probably toilet paper or something boring!

Haha thought I would give you a funny!

On another topic, I want to rave about the guy who waited to hold the door for me at the top of the stairs into Reese Phifer.

I was at the bottom and he was half way up the stairs, he turned around, saw I was coming and held the door til I went through and then went through himself!

I was so impressed!

Most people say chivalry is dead.

This guy proved that it isn't!

To me the most attractive thing about a guy is how he treats the people around him.

Maybe it is my southern upbringing and being told that guys should ALWAYS hold doors, walk on the outside of the sidewalk, pay for the first date(if he asked) and act like a gentleman.

I think that it says a lot about a guy if he is a true gentleman.

And girls, if we expect them to act this way, be nice and grateful when they do!

If anyone, guy or girl, holds the door open for me I make sure to always say thank you and sound like I mean it!

A random act of kindness can make someones day without you even knowing it!

It's almost Friday! YAY!

Stay sweet!

Kell

Day 8: A Song to Match Your Mood

Well I am extremely tired from study all night long so that would be a boring song and I don't want to bore you at all!

So I am sharing my new favorite song and artist!

New favorite song: If I Die Young by The Band Perry

Love this song!

My new favorite artist is Dave Barnes!
He is not well known but his songs are so good!

Love him too!

Well I am off to finish studying! Hope everyone is having a great hump day(aka Wednesday)!
Stay sweet!

Day 7: Your Dream Wedding

Day 7: Your Dream Wedding!

Well this would be a lot easier and more fun if I was actually getting married sometime soon...

not that I haven't done some planning!!

Venue:

The Bragg-Mitchell Mansion in Mobile, AL

I want the ceremony and reception here!

Food:

My uncle does catering and he is amazing! My menu would consist of fried chicken, mac and cheese, crab cakes, shrimp, french fries, lots of great southern food. Our family friend Olga makes awesome cakes and I would ask her to make a red velvet with cream cheese icing cake!

Music:

I am so down for a DJ to play my favorite songs so we can dance all night!

Colors:

Bridesmaid dresses would be purple cotton short dresses and groomsmen would wear khaki suits and everyone would wear cowboy boots! I want sunflowers so I would incorporate some yellow and green into the reception.

Now I just need a groom and we can put all this into action!

HA!

It's all in God's timing!

Well I'm off to class then hopefully I can get a nap in before aerobics and RUF then I will be up all night again studying and writing a paper!

Til tomorrow, stay sweet!

Kell

Day 6: A Photo of an Animal You’d Love to Keep as a Pet.

It's Monday...BOO! This week shouldn't be too bad, I just have one big paper due Thursday!

Today's challenge is a picture of an animal I would love to keep as a pet. I was trying to think out of the box since everyone usually wants tigers and alligators and stuff.

I chose a panda bear!

They are just so cute and look like they would be fun to cuddle with!

Happy Monday!

Y'all stay sweet!

Days 2, 3 and 4...Roll Tide!

So...I'm a slacker! Here are days 2, 3 and 4!

Day 2: A Photo of something you ate today

Ok so I had a hot dog and it looked nothing like this, but my camera is acting up right now so this will have to do! I love hot dogs loaded with ketchup and mustard! It was left over from the other night when we cooked out so it was grilled to perfection!

Day 3: Your idea of the perfect date

My idea of the perfect date would be dinner first and then something fun after maybe a movie or ice cream. I want to get to know the person so doing something where we could talk and have fun is the ideal first date!

Day 4: Your favorite photograph of your best friend

I have lots of best friends so I am just going to post all of them!

Mel and Kell!

Me and the Roomie Taylor!

Ansley, Me and Mary Ellen dressed up for TV Characters Swap!

My love Catherine and I!

I know she is my sister but she also my best friend! Me and Lulu!

So hopefully that will catch me up for now! I promise not to be so lazy next time!

I'm about to get ready for the Penn St. vs. Alabama game!

ROLL TIDE!

Stay sweet!

30 Day Challenge!

Just a picture to get everyone pumped up for the game Saturday!

ROLL TIDE!

I should be studying for my Public Relations test but I got distracted and figured I could use a break anyways! I was reading my bff Cat's blog and she started a 30 day blogging challenge the other day and I thought it was such a cool idea! I found some different questions for mine so I wouldn't be copying her!
So here it goes!
Day 1 – A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was.

Here I is! This is my favorite dress and earrings my friend brought back from Belgium!

Today was boring and uneventful! I got to sleep in (yay!), worked on a paper for next week and then had class from 3 til 6. I had dinner at the Alpha Chi house, it was baked chicken, rice and rolls to die for! SO GOOD! We had chapter right after dinner. It is nice to know that I will see all my friends at least once a week at chapter! And now I am studying for this test and will probably be up for a while! Wish me luck!

Stay sweet!

This Is Alabama Football

Roll Tide

This video = goosebumps!
Great opening weekend for college football! I never realized how much I love college football until yesterday! I love everything about it! Tailgating, the quad, all the fans on campus, the band, the crimson and white shakers, the yell of Roll Tide across the quad and of course our AMAZING new stadium! AH! Daddy and Lu came up for the game against San Jose State. It was a blowout 48-3 and the Crimson Tide looked awesome! Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings! I know it is too early to predict but I'm thinking we are in a good position for some more titles!

Can I get a ROLL TIDE?
