HELLO FRIDAY!

I am so glad to be able to say 
HAPPY FRIDAY.

This week was a doozie. With midterms coming up & work picking up,
I am totally swamped! 2 months til graduation, people! TWO MONTHS.

.

Today I'm excited to be linking up with Lauren at From my Grey Desk
for High Five for Friday :)

Photobucket

So here are my 5 favorite things from this week:

one.
Good old snail mail. You all know by now how much I love getting snail mail. Well I love
writing snail mail, too :) So this week I wrote 7 letters by hand, and let me tell you, I am
so excited to put them in the mail! 



two.
This week I reconciled with a good friend that I had a dispute with a few months back.
I've been praying about this for awhile now and God brought us back together as friends.
So thankful for that :)



three.
THIS EMAIL! You can't see it very well, but the line before the highlighted line...my graduation application was approved. Holla!



four.
The announcement about the March 7th announcement (woah) of the iPad 3! I've been waiting oh so patiently for this :) Adam is buying me one for my birthday (which was in January, but obviously they weren't out yet).

five.
I had the opportunity to guest post over at Hollie Takes Notes yesterday and that was super exciting, because she's a blogger that I look up to :) I did my post on "My Real Life vs. My Pinterest Life." You can read it here. AND I loved doing this post so much that I must just do a round 2 and post it on my own blog soon ;)

I'm also linking up with
Hollie today for Follow Friday!

Congrats on your "soon-to-be" graduation! I love that you are writing snail mail. I used to have a few penpals when I was younger. It would be awesome to have some penpals these days! It would really take you back to the good ol' days :)

Marissa said...

I absolutely loved your guest post for Hollie. You're not the only one who dreams of a Pinterest life. Send Tampa some love for me. It's been snowing all week. Our state motto should be "March - where winter begins in Idaho". :-\

Have a great weekend!

So happy for you and your friend! God does amazing things!

Annnnd I need to send you a letter. Pen pals? Yessss!!!

Also, super a lot brownie points for Adam for investing in an iPad for you. It will be such a help in grad school:). Oh and in response to your grad school fears. Don't worry!!! I'm just a weirdo and took way too many classes at once. You'll be fine!!!

Happy Friday!!

First, I must say your blog is absolutely adorable. Second, I love your outlook on life. You appreciate the things that most people take for granted, like getting your graduation application approved. I think that if everyone looked at life through your eyes, everyone would be just a little bit happier :)

Erin said...

yay for the iPad 3! I have the original and still love using it. I'm sure the 3rd will be even better :)

Snail mail is the best.
I write a letter to 1 person every week and am notorious for sending Thank You cards for even a random text that made my day. Just makes my heart smile....as do you! ;)

Praying you have a great weekend!
XO!

Michelle said...

LOVE snail mail!! It's my favorite! I desperately need some pen pals :)

Awesome for reconciling with a friend!! I went through that in college. We finally sat down in a coffee shop one night and worked through it all. The most amazing feeling!

iPad 3. one word: drools.

I loved your guest post yesterday...it was such a cute idea!!
