Future Wedding Plans

I found this wedding dress and loved it!!! It is simple, but so beautiful. I'll definitely be looking at this for possibilities in the future.
Now...just gotta find the man! ;)

Only Hope-Mandy Moore

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now You're my only hope

Senior!?

Wow. I have ONE year left in college! I'm officially a senior. On top of that, I'm no longer a teenager! That's a good feeling. My sister just graduated from college.

This entire weekend brought about maaaany changes in our lives. I am so excited to see where we will end up in a year. I'm feeling antsy because it's about time for a change, and I am really looking forward to starting a brand new chapter again.

On a yummy note, I asked for chicken and dumplings, and strawberry birthday cake for my birthday dinner. My mom and grandma were wonderful and made both! I'm STUFFED. Yet, they are calling my name. I may have to go back for more as a late-night snack.

After all this cake is gone, I have GOT to get a grip on my diet and exercising. I am doing a detox next week, and that will help me get back on track.

Alrighty, well, I just felt like I should update. I only update once every few months because I never think about it. Sad, sad. Oh well. Everyone have a happy May!

Help!

Please help me on my journey to become Miss Kansas! Click HERE to go to my page and donate to Children's Miracle Network. I am required to raise 250 more dollars for Children's Miracle Network, and I need your help! Every little bit brings me closer to my goal and it is for a great cause.
Thank you so much!

Every Part of Me

"I feel like I'm a million miles away
from myself, more and more these days.
I've been down so many open roads
but they never lead me home.

And now I just don't know
who I really am, how it's gonna be,
is there something that I can't see?
I wanna understand.

Maybe I will never be who I was before.
Maybe I don't even know her anymore.
Or maybe who I am today ain't so far from yesterday,
Can I find a way to be every part of me?

So I'll try, try to slow things down
and find myself.
Get my feet back on the ground.
It'll take time but I know I'll be alright,
'cause nothing much has changed, on the inside.

It's hard to figure out how it's gonna be,
cause I don't really know now.
I wanna understand.

Maybe I will never be who I was before.
Maybe I don't even know her any more.
Or maybe who I am today ain't so far from yesterday,
Can I find a way to be every part of me?

I don't wanna wait too long
to find out where I'm meant to belong.
I've always wanted to be where I am today,
but I never thought I'd feel this way.

Maybe I will never be who I was before.
Maybe I don't even know her anymore.
Or maybe who I am today ain't so far from yesterday,
Can I find a way to be every part of me?
Every part of me."

Diet!?

Yes. Yes it's true.
I am on a diet. Kind of? I don't know what it's called, or if it's technically a diet, but I'm cutting out a lot of carbs, sweets, and starches. I'm hoping to lose 15-20 pounds, and I'm taking a dance class this semester so I'm hoping that it will help me to lose the extra weight. :) Let's see if it works! :D
I started my junior year of college this week. I'm lovin' it already. Takin' 20 hours may change that later on, but for now it's really fun. lol I need to get motivated to practice piano though...I've been seriously slacking in that area this summer.
Yeah...I'll get on that.
