Updates and finds

Happy Wednesday! 2 more days until the weekend!

So I have been such a terrible blogger and did not tell you about my wonderful weekend!
This past Saturday I made a trip home. Mr. H and I along with 7 helpers tackled our house.

We spent ALL day Priming and painting...and I am sooo happy to say that we got the ENTIRE house primed and the front bedroom painted!


Here are some before and after pics:

We were pounded with some snow yesterday!

SO NO SCHOOL!

If it is going to be cold...then I would rather it snow and have a snow day

My plans for the snow day:
1. Mandatory to wear sweatpants and a t-shirt ALL day
2. Clean my nasty room
3. Watch a chick flick
4. Drink more than one cup of coffee
5. maybe tackle some reading for class (maybe)
6. Blog Stalk
7. Have tomato Soup with saltine crackers
8. Play in the snow!

Who else got the snow storm??
Have a Happy Snow day!

-CARIBBEAN BOUND-

Mr. H booked our Honeymoon on Wednesday!

We are headed to the Couples Swept Away Resort in Jamaica!


We get a His/Her Massage at some point of the trip that is included, PLUS some much more!

We decided the Beach Front Suite, which will give us direct access to the Caribbean Sea.


Mr. H and I are so happy to have this part of the planning Complete. <3

I have to be honest when I say that I was 'iffy' about a honeymoon to Jamaica. His sister and one of my best friends also had their honeymoons in this beautiful place, and I guess I just thought I wanted to be different. But now, my attitude has changed and I am super excited!!

Mr. H hired a Travel Agent who has been so AMAZING and has helped up us along the way to get the best deal and the most for our money.

So let the Countdown Begin!
(5 months 6 days until JAMAICA!)


HAPPY FRIDAY!
XOXO

Happy 'Hump' Day

It's Wednesday which means we are half way through the week!

YAY!

I am so thrilled to say that I have FINALLY finished William P. Young's THE SHACK

I have been wading through some deep pain and struggles the past few years was have been able to stay sane because of the Lords sweet comfort and love. While reading the book “The Shack” I was able to feel the same comfort and love that I have felt so tenderly in the past years. I have not seen God as overtly or literally as in this novel, but have felt him as intensely and the experience was just as intoxicating as it was for Mack(the main character). I believe that The Shack is able to help people, like me, who are struggling to love and to trust. To have a personification, weather true or not, helps to understand a small part of the limitless Love that God desires so greatly to give us. I am past dogma and religion in my life. None of that gives me peace and comfort. I need the raw and rough love of my Jesus.
So Simply Said- I LOVED THE SHACK!

If you have read it, I want to hear your opinions!
If you haven't, Read It!!

The weekend that was Fabulous

Happy Monday!

Mondays are my favorite day this semester, but I didn't want the weekend to end.
Here is Why:

Friday- Sister 1 arrived. Ordered Chinese Out, and hung out with friends. Got all dressed up to go Salsa dancing. Sister forgot her ID and they wouldn't let us in!

Decided to go a tiny restaurant that stayed opened until 3am.
We got back to school and to our Surprise, people had made a Giant fort in our dorm lobby. It was crazy!! you could stand inside of it
We have fun even though our night was Salsa-less.
Saturday- Sister and I slept in! We got up, had some breakfast and got ready. Sister 2 arrived and we all headed to the Baseball game with my friends. Even though the weather was cool...the Sun was shinning and I loved the warmth on my legs!

We all made the unison decision to leave the baseball game early and head to Town to go shopping. Here are two of my shoe purchases:
both shoes are from Charlotte Russe. I actually both the last pair in black, not purple.
After Shopping, We headed to rent a movie and pick up necessary ingredients for a night in: Strawberries, Cookie Dough, Brownie mix, Fudge swirl Ice cream!
We Rented two movies, The Secret Life of Bees and Stepford Wives (my first time seeing SW)
Loved both! Secret Life of Bees is defiantly a new favorite!

Sunday- Sisters and I woke up and headed Down the Mountain to my wonderful Church,
Grace Community Church.
I loved Pastor Jerry's Sermon "A Method to the Marriage Madness"
We went over to a friends house for lunch and games. I love Sundays <3
Sisters had to leave and head home, so we made ourselves all busy and excited for our Oscar Social. We set up the Lobby 'Theater Style' and projected the Academy Awards on the wall.
We also encouraged people to come dressed like a movie star!
It was a fun time for everyone who came.

See! I'm wearing the new pink/purple shoes! LOVE THEM!

Well I am off to begin my Monday.
I hope everyone has a great start to the week...STAY WARM!
