Thanks! Grazie! Gracias! Danka?

Thanks for your comments on the last blog! I'm still trying to decide..but I think I'm just going to pick like 5 places to apply (including AR state in Jonesboro) and go from there. Who knows..maybe the decision will be made for me!

I have some other ideas about where I want to spend next semester/year...but those are probably going to need some more thought before I pick up and leave!

As far as the rest of my life...I have to say that I love my friends! I feel so blessed to have such amazing people who pick me up of the floor and get me going again! Yall have been awesome. So today's blog is a BIG FAT THANK YOU! If I had a bunch of money(and someday I plan to) I would take yall all out on a sailing trip..and we would spend the night in my favorite place in the entire world....

You decide for me :)

I've been trying to plan out the next year or so of my life. Where I'll be...what I'll be doing....what classes I'll be taking...which schools to apply. This has usually worked for me in the past....but for some reason I don't have much confidence to go in any direction. I feel like I need someone to tell me what to do...what will happen...what's best for me! I guess these are normal feelings...but I feel like I am having them an un-normal amount of time these days. (I just realized that "abnormal" was the word I couldn't think of for "un-normal"....i'm super smart, ha!).
So, if someone would kindly tell me what to do for the next year of my life...I'd greatly appreciate it! (hey, it's not like I asked for someone to tell me what to do for the rest of my life :) just a year )

Weekend Warrior

I didn't do a darn thing today.....and I loved it! Hope everyone had a great Labor Day/Weekend!

I went to Little Rock for the game on Saturday and ended up having a blast! Jean and I had such a hard time getting down to the golf course to tailgate, but once we did we couldn't stop the fun! I just don't think there is anywhere else that puts on a party the way Razorback fans do! I'm so excited about this season and all the things that are going to happen...even though I don't know what they are! That's an improvement :)

ah! I love my friends!

Quotes I love today, but maybe not tomorrow.

Life Saver

Ben & Jerry's Half-baked ice cream is baller. I mean, I do not think I would be where I am today without it. (maybe 10 pounds lighter..hehe) Yesterday was a hard day...and I woke up wanting my go-to comfort food. Who cares if it was 7am? I ate it. all. The entire pint. For some reason, just a few spoonfuls doesn't work. However, it didn't do the trick in the end sooo I need a new go-to food/activity! Let me know what yall do?

Total Neglect

My goal now is to blog once a month. ha!

But, I thought today would be a good day to blog about that fact that I do not smoke anymore. I quit on July 2nd, just before I left for Italy. So today it has been two months! Holy crapola. Those who know me probably thought this could never really happen. hey, I don't really believe it. BUT, I'm incredibly proud of myself for doing something so difficult and getting through it a better, healthier person. It gives me hope for the rest of my life! Jennifer also quit, so now we are all nonsmokers at the Corbin Compound! We quit with the help of a hypnotist named Penny Rae. She is amazing. My dad quit 10 years ago with her help. So if you know anyone who really wants to quit and seems to have tried everything, she is definitely worth looking into! awesomeness!
