Journal Entry #2

-

Ok, so I think the last journal entry went pretty well! I think I will keep doing that...so here is a new one!      June 20, 2014 First of all, yes I write on the wrong side of the paper. This is because I do not believe in wasting pretty paper, and I have a feeling I will be documenting quite a lot this year, so I better save some space.         Today we went to the Blarney Stone . I spent the first half of the morning irritated. I felt like people kept calling me, I don't know why all of a sudden I feel this instant anger! Anyways, I went up to the top of Blarney castle with Nana and Papa, and Aunt Robbie. Robbie was saying that she was in a lot of pain. The whole time we were going up those steep steps though there was a rather large lady in front of me, and all I could think about was how much pain I was going to be in if she fell on me. Nana and Papa argued the whole way up there, I was glad that I had already gone to the top with Elizabeth and David. We had to force Na

A Year of "Firsts"

At the beginning. I have seen a lot of posts recently, regarding what people have learned in one year of marriage, such as  this one , and  this one , and  soooo many more . While I don't know if I have just been noticing them because I am in this season of life, or if the FBI agent watching my web searches thinks that I will enjoy them, I know one thing...I can't really relate. I love reading these blogs about marriage, money, and all things domestic, I like knowing that there are people out in the world that I have never even met that are in the same place as me, but I can't relate to their lists and lists of lessons learned. In one year of marriage, I think that the only thing that I have learned is that I know nothing. Now, I don't mean that in a self-deprecating way, I just really think that this whole year has been me realizing that life really can be difficult. ( I know, I know, you all told me... you were right 😆)    This is not to say that this year hasn

Walking around Waco

The Mclennan Courthouse, which I think is SO pretty BTW.  Probably my favorite part about living downtown is that when I wake up in the morning I can just decided to go on a walk and more often than not I will find something really fun to do. On Saturday's my favorite place to go is right across the street from the Mclennan county courthouse. Just a small sample of what  Tin Cup Farms has to offer.  It is a nice walk from my apartment and sometimes I stop and get coffee from Bru, which is the cutest little coffee shop IN A 1930's ELEVATOR, I will expand on this cute little shop in another post, just know they make the Saturday morning farmers market experience, just that much better.  But   I'm getting off subject... the   farmer's market in downtown Waco has recently moved       locations from University Parks, to the aforementioned parking lot of the Mclennan courthouse, and I think that move was PERFECT. Not only is this across the street from another fa

Let's Review

In trying to think of blog content, I was drawing a blank, this might have been because I have been very busy as of late or it might be because I am not super creative...oh well. During this process I was also moving, some of my friends came over to help me move, because I was totally lost in the organization process. When we moved on to my bedroom they found my journal, I have been keeping this journal since I was sixteen years old. Me and my grandparents when I started keeping this journal. For some reason, unlike most teenagers I did not want to keep my journal private. (Maybe I've secretly always wanted to start a blog...also maybe I just really like people to know my views on everything...) So aside from some embarrassingly immature views on some topics there are not that many super private or incriminating views in this journal. As they were reading through this I realized that I want my children to be able to read these stories, I also noticed that my journal was FALLIN

Flowers on a Tuesday?

Why "Tuesday's Flowers?" Who gets flowers on a Tuesday anyways?   I clearly remember the moment that I realized, life is not like the movies. My now-husband, my sister, and her best friend were riding around downtown Waco, listening to the radio at top volume, singing along with every word. It was summer in central Texas, so it was so hot, but the breeze felt nice, coming through the windows of the pickup truck... It was a perfect moment. Minutes later though my sister and I were arguing over something dumb...I probably started it. Either way, it occurred to me then that the movies are all made up of those, wonderful, carefree moments, or those highly dramatic, emotionally charged moments. In life though, we get those every once in awhile, and we need to search for those wonderful moments in between.     I've been thinking, what are those wonderful moments? I don't mean the blatantly obvious wonderful moments, but the subtle, quiet moments that often go unnotic
