Outings

I like having a car.

I never really knew what I was missing out on until I finally filled the unnoticed car void in my heart.

I love looking in my drive way and seeing a shiny little vehicle that's completely and totally mine.

I find it comforting to know that it can take me anywhere, anytime, because its mine.

The inside is clean, and it smells like a Pina Colada (we'll see how long that lasts)

I enjoy driving with my roof open, pre-setting my favorite radio stations and even the snazzy way it has to work SO hard to turn on, it adds character...

I finally got the title back in the mail this week, so instead of illegally driving it to work I took it out for its first little spin. (under my ownership at least) 

I, along with my 2 best friends and my brother drove to my favorite little place to eat, Casper's.

It's definitely a highlight of Springfield and if you're ever in the area you should drop in (as long as you're ready for a wait because the building, though adorable, is tiny.)

Photo A Day May

Hi, I have decided to participate in fat mum slim's monthly photo challenge for the month of may (click here if you'd like to play along) through my blog. Here's this week:

Happy May!

Red Handed

You caught me. I'm a procrastinator, a bit of a liar, a work-yourself-up-in-your-head-yet-still-never-accomplish-what-you-set-out-to-because-you-get-side-tracked-er.

 I fully planned on telling you all about Disney and posting a great many pictures and even, perhaps, throwing in a video. 

But, life got a little crazier and my time mixed with my schedule had me spread a little thinner. So, here we are months later Disney Vacation Part Two-less. 

Oh, well. On another less embarrassing note, I got a job. (Almost two of them) 

I went to prom.

I bought a car. (Soon it will be pink)

 I graduated High School.

I threw a party.

I received a Pink Kitchen-aid Mixer, a Cannon Rebel T3i, a pearl necklace, gobs of money, goldfish galore, a scrapbook of letters that brings me to tears, lets of well wishes, and a new wave of excitement for the things to come and a reinforced gratitude for the things I'm already blessed with.

Planning parties is so much fun for me, my mom, and my aunt. 

As you can see this one went swimmingly. It included face painting, carnival games, hot dogs, candy, popcorn, peanuts, and carnival music playing through out. 

My grandma made me some Lemon Raspberry and some Root Beer cupcakes,

as per my request, and my momma made green apples dipped in blue candy, 

too cute.

With lots of drinks and horseshoes (my daddy managed to break said horseshoe in half, how does one do such a thing?!) and lawn games I think everyone enjoyed themselves. 

The invitations were swoon worthy, and overall the whole thing was perfect for me.

My mother made the comment that in the end it looked like "it could either be a three year old's birthday party or an 18 year old's graduation party." HA!

It proved that I achieved what I was going for and it was so me! ;P

April was a blast and I'm ready for all that May has in store.

Hope you all have happy Mays.

XOXO

(P.S. The last for pictures are a sampling of my senior pictures, aren't they just the bee's knees?)
