On my 20th birthday, I was at home, watching TV, waiting for my mom to get home from work so we could start the birthday celebrations.
I was flipping through the 700 channels they have (no joke), and stopped at the Ellen show.
All I have to say is good thing I was already sitting on the floor! I'm sure I would have fallen out of the chair because I was laughing that hard!
I stopped just in time to see this happen:
Remember to laugh at the little oops moments in life!
Have a great day!

From Me to You
Here's a video.
Handpicked by me.
For you!
(Yes, you!)
Watch it.
Smile.
Enjoy it.
Think of it when times are tough.
And smile again.
See??
It's a never ending circle of enjoying and smiling.
With that being said...
Start smiling already!

Beamer Strikes Back!
Yes, the tales of Beamer continue...
I noticed as I parked my car on Saturday night that my coolant light came on. Because it was so late at night, I was more concerned with getting inside and hitting the hay. On Sunday morning, I wasn't even halfway to worship services when the light came on again. Remembering it had come on the night before, I decided I would check it after worship services were over.
After services, I found that just about all of my coolant had drained out. So, I grabbed the extra bottles of coolant out of my trunk and filled it up. At this point, I knew I had a leak somewhere. Some really sweet people stayed to make sure I would be ok to drive home (which I was).
After driving about a mile, my coolant light came on again. When I got home, I decided to check my coolant to see how much I lost during the 3 mile drive from worship services to my apartment.
From the picture above, you can see that my hood opens opposite of most cars. Instead of opening away from the car, it opens towards. Well, I opened the hood and stuck my head underneath to check the coolant. Next thing I know, the hood is falling back towards my head.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pull my head out fast enough. The hood came crashing down right along my jaw bone. Check out my lovely Beamer Bruise below...
So, Beamer got towed this morning to the shop where they discovered my heater hose blew. The same heater hose that was fine a week ago. Oh the life of owning a car! Luckily, it can be fixed, and Beamer *should* be back to his normal self tomorrow afternoon!
As for me, I've been walking to where I need to get (i.e. work). Honestly, I don't really have anything to complain about. Yes, it is cold outside, but I have a lovely new scarf, courtesy of my brother's girlfriend, that keeps me quite warm! The best part...I get a break from scraping ice off of my car in the mornings! :)
Despite the fact that Beamer bruised me, I think I'll still keep him! ;)

Last Winter Break
As I sit here, at my parent's house, on the last night of my 2 week winter vacation, I can't help but think of how blessed I am. It has been a wonderful last winter break! I honestly have zero room to complain.
Here's a brief rundown of these past 2 weeks:
I can't imagine a better way to have spent my last winter break!
Here's a brief rundown of these past 2 weeks:
- I turned 20 and got to celebrate with my family here at home as well as with the girls from work.
- I watched my sister graduate from college.
- My entire family got together to celebrate the holidays together. My brother brought his sweet girlfriend home with him so we could get to know her better.
- I got to see my cousins whom I haven't seen in 2 years.
- I got to spend some much needed time with my closest 2 friends from high school.
- I worshiped alongside my brothers and sisters at Kirkwood.
- I spent a day with Lori, an amazing woman who has played a huge role in making me into the person I am today, and her sweet (and adorable) children.
- I was surrounded by my family 24/7, something I crave and am deprived of while away at school.
I can't imagine a better way to have spent my last winter break!
