A Year and 9 Months

I know my project 365 lasted 9 months longer than it should have, but I have gotten some amazing photos throughout this time. This year and 9 months has been hard, fun, sad, happy, tiring, exhilarating, and beautiful. I have lost people in my life, gained people, missed people, and reunited with people. I have grown up, forcefully, but gracefully. Adult life can be hard and stressful and I may miss being younger with my friends, but I would never change how it has happened. I have learned that God knew exactly what He was doing even if I thought it was crazy. I will have pain in my heart, but precious friends to ease that pain. God has shown me how amazing He can make my life and what amazing paths he has set for me. I have worked for CVS, quit CVS, applied for school, and gotten rejected from school. Every decision and rejection leading me closer to where God wants me to be. I can only hope I am following His will for my life because I know that His will is what's best. I have learned beautiful scripture to follow when I am lost and I know some pretty awesome people to call when I can't find my way out. Thank you all for being in my life and by my side.





















365/365 This is it!

So this is the 365th day of photos for me. I have finally completed project 365. I decided the best way to end this project was with my amazing brother and sister-in-law. They always make home better. I have no idea where I would be without them. I am blessed to have them in my life and by my side :)

364/365 Books!! Steak!!

Today was the Book Fair at the Milledgeville library. I must say it was legendary! I got 34 books for $15!! I finally got the classics that I always wanted to read, I just never had the money to buy them. And I got lots of hard back for change!! I wish I had been going every year so I could have gotten this deal for so many more books. Then when I got home Darryl grilled some tasty steaks! I felt pampered :)



363/365 Gone Shopping

Went to the store today. Got Haley's birthday gift and tons of food for Darryl and Brenda's visit this weekend! I have never seen our fridge so full!! Hopefully a good sign for a great weekend.

362/365 Lunch in a Jiffy!

Haley didn't have Nursing class today so I came over and we made up some random casserole for lunch. But not to my surprise it was good! Plus a great time lounging with a good friend :)

361/365 More J-Cup Goodness

Haley invited me and her mom to a church coffee drop-by at Joshua Cup. Great conversation and great drinks makes to a fun night. I only wish that I would go out and do things more. As my mother tells me, I am an adult now and should go out and live an adult life. And I am doing that. I think being an adult can be pretty awesome if it weren't for the bills, job-hunting, and stress! haha


360/365 More Reading

This is the third of a series of books I have borrowed from Haley. They are wonderful! They are called Acts of Faith. The first was the Centurion's Wife, the second was The Hidden Flame, and now The Damascus Way. They go through the Book of Acts during the beginning of the church. During the first book Jesus was just crucified and rose again and his followers are beginning to believe. During the second book the followers of a new religion called The Way are building their church and ministry. Also there is the stoning of Stephen, the first martyr. During this book the new religion is spread throughout the land after persecution has started and Saul is transformed into Paul. Awesome books!

359/365 Updating...

Spent this evening putting some autumn touches on my blog. Hopefully this means that I will soon be done with project 365. I think a year and 9 months is long enough! haha

358/365 Bhjonic and Markets!

So Ali had a groupon for an Indian restaurant called Bhjonic. It was great seeing Ali, plus trying new food was fun. Now that I have tried it, not sure if it is my favorite, but I will definitely try some more. After we talked about how we both have no idea what we are going to do with our futures, we went to the Dekalb Farmer's Market. I wish I had more money because if I had I would have spent it at the market. I got 3 tomatoes, a mango, zuccini, and a bell pepper all for $4.85! I LOVE fresh produce!! Even if both Ali and I are a little discouraged, it was a wonderful evening catching up with a friend :)



357/365 Familiar Beauty

So my project 365 has lasted a bit longer than expected. These are probably some familiar butterflies that I also took a picture of last September. I just could not pass up the chance of catching more awesome pictures.



356/365 A Day in the Truck

It is mid morning and as I am reading for my Sunday School class mom comes in asking if I want to go riding in the truck. Of course! So we pack up some snacks and hit the road. We ride all through Atlanta while listening to the UGA game. I don't think we could have picked a better day. No clouds and perfect window-down weather!

355/365 Shower!

I went to Bethany and John Paul's wedding shower today. They live in Kentucky, so this was the only thing I could go to. It was a fun day! And plus as everyone was leaving, it started to rain. So we had a shower at the shower! hahaha :)

The beautiful couple!

Lovely Haley writing down the presents for Bethany


354/365 Goooo Dawgs!

I met up with some beautiful ladies to have dinner and watch the terrible first UGA game. It was a blast even if we did lose! I had a wonderful time with Andrea, Jessica, Ansley, and Claire. As I was getting ready to go my mother tells me that I should wear something nice and put on make-up. I told her we were just going to a sports bar, but she said, "Well there will be some SPORTS to see you at the sports bar" hahaha oh mom, so I wore grown-up clothes and make-up. Mom's really do know what's best :)
