Mama Bear & Sister Bear

Yes, yes I did just quote the Berenstain Bears and yes I did just title this post with their names. I've got three words for you... Hate. On. It. ;)

I know in the last blog I said that I would start posting twice a week, but let's face it... we all knew that was a little fib, so maybe we should just stick with twice a month? Or maybe even once a week? I'm not sure but we'll see where my fingertips go.

I had this bright idea to do a "realizations" blog, but I'll save that for a later date and today I'll update y'all on my life... since I just love talking about myself. 

Here are a few pictures to assist in my post today... Enjoy!




YES Y'ALL, MY MOM AND SISTER CAME TO VISIT ME AGAIN!
AND YES Y'ALL, WE WENT TO CHICAGO!

I think the pictures help sum up just how amazing of a 6 days we had!
Let's start with...

Day 1 - They arrived around 10am and as soon as they got here my sister and I teamed up to cut and dye my mom's hair. (She might kill me for saying that, but face it mom, we all know you've got some greys!) That was definitely adventurous and required a trip to Sally's to get real cutting shears. Let's just say, I need to stop thinking I'm going to be a Cosmetologist one day and deal with the fact that it's just not going to happen. Anywho, after some naps and dinner, we went to the last Young Life of the year. Yes folks, I took my mom and sister to Young Life AND (get ready for this) even got them to help with two of the activities we had going on! More than thankful for their help! :) (too bad there aren't any pics from this day/night)

Day 2 - After a little bi of doing nothing all day, we went out to dinner to PF Changs. (see first collage above for awesome pics)!

Day 3 - My mom, sister, and I went to breakfast with my bestfriend Sydney at Bob Evans. Let's just say that Bob Evans is delicious and their hot chocolate is to die for. No really, it is! Try it for yourself. After breakfast, we went to get massages at Massage Envy. First REAL massage ever and it was amazing! After massages and getting ready, we went to the grocery store because my church was doing an urgent food drive so we went and got stuff to contribute. Then we had dinner at Golden Corral, oh boy do I love a buffet especially with a dessert bar/chocolate fountain! <3 

Day 4 - CHICAGO! Woohoo, just look at the pictures. Can't even explain how amazing of a day this was. It could have been warmer, but who's complaining. It was my second time going and I'm so glad I could go again and show my mom and sister how amazing of a place it is! I'm also very thankful to have Sydney and her family there with us! They're Chicago experts and literally know everything about it! :)

Day 5 - MOTHER'S DAY/MY BIRTHDAY! After a late night drive back, we still got up early to go to church and praise Jesus! I was more than excited to show my mom and sister where I go to church and SUPER excited because it was baby dedication Sunday. :) After church, my sister and I made breakfast for my mom. She was super thankful for it! After letting our bellies rest and getting all dolled up again, my sister, Sydney, and I went to Latitude 39 to just celebrate being 22 and also have a blast being kids again! :)

Day 6 - Booooooooo, their last day..... OF COURSE WE WENT SHOPPING! And then that night we went downtown so I could show them around! Super blast of a day!

Day 7 - After brunch with Sydney and Miss Robin, it was time for them to pack up and head back to South Dakota. Sad day. :(

As you can tell from the pics and my awesome  amazing descriptions, their time here was more than amazing! <3 & I am thankful!



Since then, I haven't done TOO many exciting things, that trip from them was literally the highlight of my month! :)

Well, my hands are tired and my fingers hurt and I also need to get ready for Noblesville High School graduation, so that's it for today folks! :)

Thanks for reading!
Have a great weekend! <3

May the 4th be with you...

Who am I kidding...?
I've never even watched Star Wars!


I just kept seeing it on Facebook today so I felt like it was the perfect title for this blog. Shoot. Me. Now.

Now on to the reason why I'm writing this blog tonight, at 11:30...
I've missed writing about my wonderful life so I feel the need to just explain the excitement that I have for this coming month...
SO many great things have already happened and there are even more to come!

Let's start with May First...
I got free tickets to see Third Day, Josh Wilson, and Colton Dixon from my neighbor and let's be honest here; I was more excited to see Colton Dixon than anyone else because... well you'll see later.. :)
The seats were great and the entire concert was AMAZING! I'm so thankful for the free tickets and even more so for the people that were able to go with me last minute. Here are a few pics of the night..




And here's my absolute FAVORITE picture from the night...



Because, let's face it, Colton Dixon is just beautiful. (insert emoji with hearts for eyes)




Now on to May Second...
Noblesville YoungLife had Clubble (club in a bubble) and I'll just let the pictures explain how amazing of an event this was... 





Oh and can't forget the fact that while the girls were finishing picking up, I find Matt and Mike like this..




 Obviously, you missed out and a really fun event. Too bad we had to tear it down. (insert depressed emoji here)

After Clubble, I spent the evening with two super sweet girls! 


And yup, that's probably one of the only times you've ever seen me on a golf cart, let alone at a golf match. So SNAPS for me for my first golf match! :)


OH AND BEFORE I FORGET, it was also my dad's birthday, he turned 51. SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OLD MAN! 




May Third...
Nothing super significant happened on this day, but I was pretty productive! Finished most of my homework/papers/junk and had a movie night with Whitney. :)


May the Fourth be with you....
I completed one of two finals (bring on the cheering) and I'm just about positive that I received a 100 percent on it. I'll go ahead and bow now while you give me a round of applause. Thank you, thank you. I also got to hang out with my bestfriend Sydney, whom I haven't seen in too darn long. We live in the same city but our schedules have been too different the past couple of weeks. I literally MISSED her, but thankful for the time that I've gotten to spend with her.


Needless to say, I'm excited for this month.
My 22nd birthday is in a week, my mom and sister will be here in less than 4 days, and SO much more.

I've made a goal since life is slowing down... I'll blog at least twice a week so get ready, folks, it's going to be a GOOD month!


Stay blessed.<3
PEACE AND BLESSINGS, had to. ;)
