Making My Day

In a stressful and exhausting week, I want to give some shoutouts to the things that made me feel infinitely better.

• To Cheesecake Factory! To time with two of my favorite boys, good food, and the delicious new Cinnabon flavor
• To happy engagements! To the most adorable couple of all time. To receiving my Save the Date card from Evan & Ali
• To empowering women! To the amazing, informative, and soul healing Women in Theatre Conference at HCC and all the incredible ladies I met. To seeing people I love in such an important setting. To making the drive there and back
• To Mamma Mia 2! To seeing family, laughing, and singing together
• To accepting Christ. To watching your family heal and support one another in their walks of faith. To the beautiful lives that are sure to come

2/10/18

I went to North Carolina for the weekend! The kids are growing up so quick. They speak so much more now, and in Spanish! I'm so proud. They give hugs and kisses and smiles and I love seeing them.

Also Karla got me Strawberry Cheesecake spread. It's D E L I C I O U S

Start the Weekend Right

Hooray for sweetness! Yesterday, we were visited by Corner Bakery and they gave the office tons of delicious desserts, on top of some DELICIOUS sandwiches (and chips that ran out before I could get to them). They were all super great. The brownies are fab and the cookies are so soft and lovely. But the CHEESECAKE BARS. CHILD. I was in heaven. It was just such a nice surprise. And when it was time to go home, my mommy surprised me with two slices of cheesecake! What a wonderful life.

Today is a new day. We FINALLY fixed the copiers, so I no longer have to do a 20 step process to complete my work (nor do I have to give other people more work). The boy also FINALLY checked his mail! No response for the letter just yet but honestly, I'm just so relieved. I'm no longer wondering whether or not USPS did their job haha. Now the ball is 10000% in his court. And even if the conversation has ended, I'm okay. And I'm happy knowing that I'm okay. I did all I could and I'm genuinely satisfied with the situation. I look forward to the future, whatever it may have in store. Today is Friday, so I get out of work at four. I will head home, go to McDonald's, stop by an ATM, and head to Jeannie Bird Bakery in Westminster. I am gonna see Dead Man's Cell Phone at McDaniel tonight and I'm gonna love on all my babies. Things are good. God is so good. I've got a feeling that it's just gonna keep being good. One way or another. Let's keep it up!

Happy National Cheesecake Day!

Mariah, Mandy, Torreke, and I went to Cheesecake Factory. We spilled tea, we died laughing, and we ate the MOST amazing food and cheesecake. Ughhhhh everything was so good. I've been missing these people endlessly. I just want tastes of home (McDaniel) as often as I can get them. And today felt so very right. I'm happy to spend time with people who love me and are supporting me as best they can. Also. $4 CHEESECAKE

Sir Paul the Goodwun

Paul, Mariah's Little, wanted to thank our apartment for being kind and nice and fun and wonderful and opening our apartment to him often. His words not mine. But he said sweet things. And he bought us cheesecake.

Sakura Kissu

Reason 286: Last day of classes for all! To celebrate, we went to Sakura Japanese steak house. Favorite Hibachi place from home, I'm so glad they have one here. Seriously the most fun way to spend our evening. PLUS CHEESECAKE! ALWAYS CHEESECAKE

Title from this ridiculousness

From the Cheesecake

Reason 97: Our dear friend Lauren. So unfortunately, thanks to Hurricane Sandy, our plans for New Jersey were cancelled. I will not see my best friend Storm this weekend. Obviously, Emily and I were disheartened. However, Lauren came to our rescue. Her lovely mom is here all weekend and is taking us around for fun times. We went to Towson Mall (best. mall. ever.) and shopped for ages. And we went to Cheesecake Factory! Tomorrow we may go out for breakfast. I needed a night with my girls. And I greatly appreciate the generosity of this family.

Also, this was the best pick me up ever. Click according to what is appropriate.
More specifically, THIS is all about you

Big Spender

Reason 85: There's cheesecake in my fridge. I had funnel cake. I bought 2 shirts. I've made a Pikachu pumpkin, as well as a pumpkin for a wedding on campus. I've been getting compliments on my hair all day. And I've just finished watching my favorite movie, Howl's Moving Castle. So pleased with how my day has gone.

Strong & Sudden

Reason 84: HAIRCUT. FINALLY. AFTER A YEAR OF WAITING. Hallelujah, my hair feels SO light and it looks so cute :3 I love it. And I'm donating 9 1/2 inches! Now, off to Cheesecake Factory for the best dessert in the world with the best family in the world :D

One of THOSE days ^_^

(Played on our way down here. The sky & trees were BEAUTIFUL)

Emotions

Reason 41: Ariana Grande. WHY SO WONDERFUL? She posted a new video today at basically the perfect time, and now I'm jamming all day. Pardon me while I revel in my happiness to this song. She's perfect! And I, for whatever reason, feel an immense need to smile all day.

PS: Your sister tweeted Anberlin lyrics and I got a little too excited :)

EDIT: CHEESECAKE FOR DINNER!! Oh man, everything is right with the world <3
