Never a Clever Title - - Update of My Life?

So instead of writing long paragraphs about what has been going on in my life lately, I thought I would tell you all by posting pictures! There are so many wonderful things and people in my life right now! God has been working in so many amazing ways this summer!

Towards the beginning of the summer I went to Dallas to see one of my best friends, Rachel. I have mentioned her a few times! We had an eventful weekend together and even ventured to the party scene at The Village in Dallas where we left shortly after arriving. Love her and miss her!

Darci has been my partner in crime this Summer! She has been such a wonderful friend to me and is a great listener! She has a great group of friends which I have been able to spend time getting to know.

Then came Fathers Day... I went home and went to lunch with my family at Sonoma Bistro and Wine Bar (YUM!). We tried to go to these teaching gardens in Tulsa (still unsure of the name) but they were closed so we took a picture outside of them. My Aunt Holly, Grandad, and Della joined us too!

This picture is from Darci's 22nd Birthday at Tokyo Pot in Stillwater which is amazing! I will have to add another picture (the other ones were sideways on here). Anyway, Mary Roy, her friend, and I had to wear these hats/bands because we were first timers. Gotta love it!

Then came the 4th of July. I went home and went to the Riverwalk with my parents, Grandad, and Della. Yes, I took care of the "pool" people. (an inside joke you'll have to ask me about) After the show we went into Los Cabos for a drink until the traffic died down.

On July 5th, my family went horseback riding which turned out to be very humid but also relaxing!! My horse was very tall but I love riding horses! Our leader just happened to be from Sallisaw ( a small town in Oklahoma where my Mom grew up) which led to some good conversation!

Finally, I just recently went to Amy Snider and Jeff Lute's couple shower in Rockwall, TX. They will be getting married in September! I had a great time with my Rangerette girls! So many memories!

I will hopefully be updating soon with more exciting adventures and pictures! Another busy week ahead! Moving and finals shortly approaching!

Cosmic Love and The Moments Inbetween

Finally a few moments to sit down and blog! I am exhausted tonight. I did not have a rigorous day but I think laying out in the sun really did it for me. I have been wanting to blog for awhile now but then when I would sit down to write, nothing would come to mind. My blog doesn't really have a theme on which I write about all of the time. Usually I write about a memorable story or talk about what is going on in my life. Sometimes I wish I had.... a cooking blog, a photography blog, or maybe even a coaching blog in which I shared my day to day experiences and work.

I can't believe the summer is half way over! It is July but WAIT, where did June go? This past month flew by extremely fast. I have been so busy in taking 10 hours, working, hanging out with friends, and visiting friends and family that each week passes in the blink of an eye.

I discovered an amazing song today called "Cosmic Love" by Florence and The Machine. It was used for a dance seen on So You Think You Can Dance last night which gave me chills! When I listen to this song and close my eyes, a beautiful dance plays out in my mind. I see my body moving and different parts going on. It is such an inspirational song.

Word of the Day:

hunky dory\HUHNG-kee-DOHR-ee\ , adjective;



Definition: About as well as one could wish or expect; satisfactory; fine; OK.

How many times have you heard this word used? When I think of this word or even use it an image of myself wearing overalls flashes into my head. I do love the word but I'm sure I would get a few weird looks if I went around telling people I was hunky dory all of the time!
 
Words I have been focusing on every day:
 
Patience
Strength
Confidence
Faith
 
I have really been focusing on putting everything in God's hands. Sometimes I'll start my day by closing my eyes and saying "Alright God, you are in control today". It is so easy to get caught up in our crazy schedules and forget that he is there and guiding us every step of the way even when we can't see where the path will take us. Isn't it just amazing?
