"Day" 2: Something I feel Strongly About

Relationships, I really do believe relationships are the most important things in life, iphones get lost or squished, viewpoints can change, habits and passions alter, but you always need relationships in your life.

The relationships in my life: with God, my family, and my friends are my anchors, I can't imagine moving through life alone, I don't think life is a journey people are meant to take by themselves.

I don't want to get preachy or give you a sales pitch "Go Make More Friends!",  but I do think, the lasting relationships in my life are the most important things I have.

Day 1

So, I'm blaming the lack of post yesterday on blogger being down, yes, it was only down for a few hours but that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Sooo....

Five Ways To Win My Heart:

or

Five Things I Find Attractive 

1. A sense of humor, or more importantly a sense of humor similar to mine. Any man who can appreciate Tom Haverford and will people watch with me gets extra bonus points.

2. Smarts, street and book. I don't want a dummy, 'nuff said.

3. Chivalry, I love a guy who is a gentlemen, who will take care of his lady, I want someone who will take care of me.

4. I like gifts, giving me gifts is a sure-fire way to win my heart, especially shoes and swedish fishes.

5. Also, any man who looks like Mark Sloan from Grey's Anatomy has a pretty decent chance of winning my heart. 

30 Day Challenge

I was (and still am) on Emily's computer avoiding studying, and I found this:

I haven't been blogging or writing for a while, so I think this might be a good way to kickstart myself.

I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't write everyday, but I am going to try my best to be consistent.

I'm hoping this will be a fun, thoughtful bl-urney (blog journey)!

See you tomorrow for day one...

Hun Cal?!

This video cracks me up! 

"You guys want to split and ice cube or something?"

Ahahahaha!

Hello Summer...

I love lighter, summery clothes.

My only regret in that I have no money to buy some.

Music Love

First of all I love Bon Iver, I could listen to Blood Bank on repeat for days.

But my friend Jillian (who is crazy talented), posted this:

Skinny Love (Bon Iver Cover) by jillianjoelle

on her facebook the other day, and since then I have not been able to stop listening to it.

See what you think.

Good Ideas

I don't stress out that often, but these are good ideas for everyday life!

Weekend Update: By Katie

This weekend I was struck with pink eye!

 Only in one eye originally, but this morning I awoke to discover the pink had moseyed on over to the other eye.

Meeh:(

But that's okay,

 as a result of my social quarantine, I've had the time to waste a good amount of time on the world wide web.

These are my findings:

1. The Adele station on pandora is my soul mate.

2. This is one of the ugliest hair styles I have ever seen, my apologies to anyone sporting deconstructed braids, I hope the brain damage you are suffering from isn't permanent.

3. I'm pretty sure I want to take a road trip through Iceland for my honeymoon.

That's about it....

I mean, I could tell you way to much about some people's lives (via facebook),

Or summarize a season of 30 Rock for you.

But I'm pretty sure you do not want to hear about any of that so.... adios!

Bulking Up Over Spring Break

Emily and I took a trip to Nashville for our spring break, the weather was kind of gloomy but we had an awesome time hanging out with our family and friends there.

We didn't get a lot of pictures, but if we had documented out trip, I'm pretty sure most of our photos would have been of us eating.

We had amazing burgers and fried pickles at Burger Up.

Enjoyed coffee with a hint of banana at The Frothy Monkey.

Emily tried a paleta for the first time.

Tried barbeque tacos at Taco Mamacita...Yum!

Ate at our dad's favorite place to dine in Nashville, The Copper Kettle.

Went to the Whiskey Kitchen, apparently that's where all the famous people eat.

Grabbed cupcakes at Gigi's.

And topped it all off with some of Jeni's ice cream.

Amid all that eating we also managed to cook a couple of times and tried grilled pb&j for the first time (soooooo good!).

Basically I chubbed up hard core for spring break...and loved every minute of it!

Thinking...

I've had lots to think about these last couple of weeks.

A lot of decisions to make.

Trying to figure out what I am going to do with my life.

I think I may just join the circus.

Where did the weekend go?

I agree.

Pictures!

Calm down people, 

I know you have all been dying to see more pictures from my trip to Nicaragua (note the sarcasm), so here they are:

Ta-Da! I feel like I might have stole the first picture from the internet, but I promise I did see that volcano quite a bit actually. Which was pretty much amazing 'cause how many times in my life have I lived five miles away from a volcano? Not very many times.

It was a really amazing trip. I may write more in detail about it later, but for now you will have to be content with pictures.

In other news, I'm in love with quaker rice snacks, in fact, I just ate an entire bag of them. The first time this happened I freaked out a little, because although on the back of the bag they say they are low in calories per serving, every delicious bag has like 45 servings in it! Maybe that's an exaggeration, but still, it was a decent amount of rice snacks.

I've since stopped looking at the back of the bag.

Well, that's about it for now, so, feliz año del conejo! How's that for multi-cultural?

One Month Ago...

I was here.

And I cannot wait to to back!

A Picture For Your January

I think I found this on Cup of Jo.

I Want To Move Here

For Serious.

("Here" is Iceland, picture via google)

Christmas Countdown!

On of the best concerts I've ever been to was a Ten out of Tenn Christmas concert.

I'm so super jealous of Butterfly Boucher's voice and this song is one of my Christmas favorites.

Enjoy!

P.S. I'm not really sure what's on Katie Herzig's head.

P.P.S Doesn't it seem like these guys would be fun to hang out with?

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Or twenty-six letters.

picture via things organized neatly.

Excuses, excuses.

I know you guys must get tired of hearing why we never post anymore, I don't blame you, I would be too.

But here I am with another apology and...wait for it... an excuse.

School has consumed my life.

That's my excuse. And it really has, I promise, (in fact I should be doing math homework at the very moment).

It's lame, I know, but I do see a light at the end of this tunnel/semester...and I couldn't be more excited about that.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with a picture.

enjoy:

Goodnight Moon.

Bats!

We've never been much for Halloween, but I thought this picture was pretty awesome.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

picture from design crush (i think).

It's Officially Official!

I'm going to Nicaragua!

That's right people, This December (after this wonderful semester ends *note the sarcasm*),  I'm getting on a plane and going to Central America!

Now for details.

My good friend Kelly and her fiance Evan have spent a lot (as in seasons) of time in Nicaragua doing mission work. They are going back for a few weeks, at the end of the year and asked me to join them.

I am super excited and pretty nervous at the same time, I've never really been outside the U.S., so this will be a totally new experience.

Which is good, new experiences are what shape us, if we never tried new things, everything would be boring, it's still a little scary though.

But I'm mostly super excited!
