Spreading out my wings.

You're love it never fails, it never ends.
You're love it never quits, You never stop chasing my soul.
Chasing my soul...

You're never giving up on me. You're never giving up on me.

You set me free. Set me FREE. Oh, my Jesus.

I'm coming alive, I'm dreaming again, I'm flying again. I'm spreading out my wings and I'm not afraid. You'll never let me fall, You'll  never let me go. You're dancing all over this place, all over Heaven.

You're never giving up, You're never giving up, You're never giving up on me.

You're singing over me, I can feel Your heartbeat. And You came running for me.

My top 5.

This is now in my top 5 places I want to go next. The 12 apostles off the coast of Australia!! So, so awesome! So now Australia slides in place along Amsterdam, the Greek Isles, Paris & Machu Picchu. Ahhhhh....


Maybe I can see them all before I'm 30 (maybe 35) because let's be real - that list will keep growing and time definitely isn't passing any slower.

I'm choosing to be grateful for today even though it has been a little on the crazy side. AND I'm excited for our kickball season numero dos to start tonight.

And since today has been a little on the crazy side I will just pretend like I am here:



with my fingernails this color:



and all my besties right by my side : )



A girl can dream, right?!?

ice, ice and more ice. oh and a little bit of snow!

What a crazy past week it's been! I only worked one full day and one half day of driving into the office getting there by 11 and leaving at about 4:15. You would think no work all this time would be FUN, and don't get me wrong we had alot of fun but there is just something about being stuck inside that makes you a little crazy.

Needless to say the time off was great. Spent a lot of it working from home while simultaneously hanging with my roomies. We did everything from watch old seasons of OTH (One Tree Hill) for all you non-fans, went sledding on TX sleds aka cookie sheets for us, ordered in food, drank wine, laughed alot. It really was so fun! And now it could happen again Tuesday night, I'm not planning on getting my hopes up after having practically 4 days off in a row last week  BUT I would take another one snow day without complaining : )

 

snowy views from the front porch in celina AND a snowy Celina sunset -nothing really compares and i'm always impressed over and over again

And a little view of my Thursday night, nothing better than a night by the fireplace with a good book!

One little thing is being inside with all the ice definitely makes me thankful for the sunshine and being outside and enjoying the little things.



Also on Sunday the superbowl was in DALLAS?! or Arlington or FWAD or North Texas...Wherever you want to call it, it was here! The roomies and I were set on seeing some celebs (and there were PLENTY in town) but it didn't happen. We were only sad for about 10 minutes until we get into the piano bar with NO line and had one of the more fun nights I've had in a while. And YES I do love Bon Jovi. Next time kk and I will have enough cash to get them to play the Aggie Fight Song, that I know for sure.

This is the only picture I have from the super bowl party but definitely one to remember. We had a few Jersey Shore wanna-be's hosting the party and I got one in action...SO SO FUN!

Anddddd the Packer's won! Honestly, I only cheered for them because I like Aaron Rogers and Lil Wayne. "green and yellow, green and yellow, green and yellow." HA. But semi true...

Hoping that this week goes by fast and that last week didn't spoil me too much. AND tonight, the Bachelor. In case you didn't know, the only way to get through a Monday. AND they will be in Costa Rica. So maybe I will paint my nails "Do you think I'm Texy?" and pretend like I am there too. : )

Here's to wishing it was summer and I was in Costa Rica. Or just laying by my apartment pool. At this point, I would take either!

It really is a perfect day.

It really is a perfect day outside. 71 degrees and it's January. Planning to spend my lunch hour(s) on a patio somewhere with jpang. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

And tonight, a sleepover with some really cool 9 year olds and my roommates : )

My other favorite of the day:

"the beauty of the cross is that your grace has found me just as I am." Jeff Johnson's new song, Amazed. LOVE IT.

Some people call it a leap of faith...

I came across this quote earlier this week, "the biggest adventure you can ever take is to start living the life of your dreams."

Since Monday it just keeps popping in my head at the most random times. If you know me and my friends you might know that we are big talkers. Not in the sense that we like to one-up each other but just that we have big dreams. Or at least like to pretend like we do! Ha. Anything from wishing Houston and Dallas were a little closer, to moving to a new city (San Diego anyone?!), to owning a bar in uptown; the options are endless.

But the more I think about it, the more I realize that maybe I just am not living the life the Lord has called me to live. For the past 6 months I have just had this stirring of something to come and I still have absolutely NO CLUE what it is. Frustrating at times but mainly just exciting...at least I think : )

Found this randomly as well and just really like it. Goes right along with exactly where my head has been recently. I would love to blow it up, frame it and make myself read it every. day. "life is short, live your dreams and wear your passion."



I'd rather be a dreamer any day but at some point it's about taking that leap of faith. Listening to that constant whisper on my heart. And trusting in His perfect plan no matter where it takes me.

B.r.e.a.t.h.t.a.k.i.n.g.

Nice knowing you Texas. From here on out, you can find me here.

TGIF.

So happy that it's Friday and I have hardly any plans this weekend! Should be nice to just kick back and have a fun weekend in Dallas!

For today, I am posting a list of WANT's. Maybe extravagant wants, so I will just call them wishes. Anyway, I have been getting countless emails from Anthropolgie to J.Crew showing off their spring and summer wardrobes. Let's just say it makes sitting at my desk very, very hard. I definitely catch myself wishing/daydreaming of anywhere but here.

So for today, I will just wish. And maybe plan how I can purchase a few of these things in the near future.



These super cute sundress from Anthro.


This perfect white tunic from Nordstrom. My fav for so many reasons : )



ALL or ANY of these. Except maybe the bobcat orange ones. Kinda been there, done that.



This super comfy t-shirt from Free People. WITH leggings. Perfect Bachelor/Girls night wear. It even comes in maroon : )



Also, this dress from Nordstrom. My roommates have already seen me lust over it.



This precious skirt and top from Emerson Made. All their stuff is just flirty and fun. And who doesn't want to be that. HA.

I guess that's all for today. TGIF!!!!!
