Day 30- A motto or philosophy

I never said it would be easy..... I just said that it would be worth it. I really believe this quote because after you have been through hard times you it is easy for you to cherish the good times. Why this quote means so much is when I was junior in high school my mom lost her job that she had, had for 23 years. I was in shock when she told me and at first I didn't believe it. I remember praying that night and I just got this overwhelming feeling that everything would be just fine. It was just so hard to think my mom would no longer have a job. She did have a part time job for 4 months and then she was hired on full time at her current job and it was the biggest relief that she finally had a full-time job. But I know that because of that experience I learned so much. During that time I had to learn to do a lot of things for myself because my mom was gone at night instead of during the day. It really helped with the adjustment to college because I already knew how to cook meals and do other basic things on my own. While I was going through this I just why did this happen to me but I can honestly say it was worth it and I learned so much. I am done with the 30 day blog challenge and I have to say that the only way I made it through was the fact that I set most of the blog posts as drafts. That means when the day came to post them all I had to do was change the post date and push publish post and bam I was done. Anyway I hoped you have learned a lot about me and I will continue to post, just not everyday.

Day 27- My fashion favorites

I love to wear my Aggie shirts....... If I could I would wear my aggie shirt and jeans everyday but considering I only have two aggie shirts and they are both pretty stained I only wear them when I am feeling lazy.

I just got these shoes and I have to say they are the best shoes that I have ever had.....I had seen Amy and Pagie with shoes similar to these and I thought they were so ulgy and that I would never get some but I am so glad that I did. I have also recently decided that I don't like to wear shoes with laces so that is another benefit of these shoes.

I also really love to wear big rings like this one.....

I wish I had this ring but I don't and the best place to buy big rings is shopko or avon. I also really like to wear my CTR ring especially when I am having a hard day it just reminds me that everything will be ok if I just choose the right. Below is a picture of the CTR ring that I am getting for easter. I am so excited to get this I just wish easter would come sooner!!!!!

Day 26- A childhood memory

When I was 8 years old I went to visit my dad. At that moment in my life my dad lived in Kansas with my step-mom. It was pretty scary because I flew and I had never been on a plane before. I remember it was so hot outside when I left and my mom made me wear pants and I was thought it was because if the plane crashed I would be protected if I wore pants. I think that I flew on Delta airlines and because I was under age I had to wear a pin and one of the flight attendants was always in charge of me. I spent most of the time getting to know my step-mom. They were moving while I was there so I think we ate at Macdonalds everyday. I remember one time my step-mom left me with my dad while she went somewhere and I cried the whole she was gone. My dad bought me and ice cream in hopes that I would stop crying but it didn't help. I also remember we lived at this camp ground for a while and every night me and my step-mom would go to Dairy Queen and hot fudge sundaes. The part I remember the most was coming home and when I got off the plane I saw my mom and I wanted so badily to just run to her but they held me back till they could prove that she was actually my mom.

Day 25- A recipe

Well I will give you my favorites as a college student

Smackaroni-just macaroni and cheese and chicken ramen noodles.
All you do is cook the noodles together and then drain them and then add the milk, butter and chesse like you are making mac and cheese. Then at the very end add the chicken seasoning and bam it is done and you are living like a real college student.

S'mores in the oven
pre-heat the oven to 375
You next put the graham crackers and marshmellows on a cookie sheet and put them it the oven till the marshmellows are brown. Then you take them out and put the chocolate on the marshmellows and cook them till the chocolate is melted.

Day 24- A movie you won't expect me to love

I will be honest most of my movies are chick flicks or children movies so there isn't really a movie that you would be shocked to find out that I love but here are some of my favorite movies....

Matilda- I just love this movie it is so entertaining to watch and some of the moments are pretty intense.
The parent trap- I have always loved watching this movie I remember that I borrowed it from my aunt and never gave it back.
Pop star- hahah I really don't like this movie but it was good to watch once. I watched it yesterday after church. It has Aaron Carter in it and I have to say that he is just about the worst actor that I know.

I don't really have a lot of movies that I like eaither because lets face it everytime I watch a movie I fall asleep. There was one time when I had to watch a movie for a class and I made myself sit on the floor so I would stay awake.
