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

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

Nothing Cheesecake Can't Solve

My family and I were invited to Cheesecake Factory by the wonderful Cerna family. As per usual, it was absolutely lovely. They are so kind and generous with us, and everyone had a great time. The food, as always, was amazing. And I had some much needed conversation with Jenny. I really enjoy talking to her because she is a great listener, super funny, and her heart is always in the right place. We had a nice little venting session haha and I'm grateful that she always cheers me on.

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

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 ^_^
