Hot Pants.

I'm a crafter. I will spend endless hours scrolling through Pinterest looking for new things to try of. One of my  most recent DIY's was this pair of pink pants. I had been wanting a pair of light pink pants for quite sometime but I could never find a pair that I really liked so, I made my own. I got a pair of blue jeans and soaked them in Clorox. Then, I put them in some good ole' Rit dye. AND...Ta-da! Here is the link to the DIY I originally followed: http://www.thelittlegiggler.com/2012/05/pink-skinny-jeans-re-fashion.html

What a weekend.

Since I am finishing up my last few weeks in Macon I am trying to squeeze everything in. I feel like I still have so much to do to the condo but yet there are still so many people in Macon I want to spend time with. So, this weekend I did both! 

Friday I had the pleasure of going out on Lake Tobo with some great friends. It was so nice to be out on the water for a little while and have some good laughs. Alex and Mr. Mike were fabulous captains. Thanks, Guys! 

Saturday, Dad and I loaded up early in the morning and headed up to the apartment to paint. We got a lot done but there is still a lot to do. Unfortunately, as soon as we got there we tried to move a piece of furniture and of course, I injured my self. We were moving a piece of furniture that had to doors on the front of it. One of the doors came open and scraped down my leg. The only words I could say were, "Steve, help." Oh goodness it hurt. After I moaned a groaned for a few minutes I finally was able to say, "This is Facebook worthy." Ha! Obviously this isn't the worst injury ever, but for me it is pretty gnarly. Just humor me...okay?

After I got over the shock of my injury we finally got started painting. We even had visit from my sweet Aunt Laura! She came by to see how the place was looking. Overall, we got the bulk of the work done. Here is a picture of how it was looking when we left:

(Remember, to see "before" pictures you can go over to "My Humble Home" tab!)

Sunday, I got to go to church and then piddle around the house. It was my "catch up" day, if you will. Then of course, we had Sunday night dinner with the old folks as usual. This Sunday also marked my last Sunday night with my youth group. I knew this day was coming, but it came a little to soon. I have to admit that I have teared up several times this evening but haven't lost it...yet. If I watch some Dawsons Creek re-runs tonight goodness knows what will happen. FHUMC's youth group will have a special place in my heart forever. I know that they are part of my family. I can't wait to see the fine people we all grow up to be. 

Also, this weekend my best friend was home (he deserves a shout-out). I miss him more and more every time he leaves to go back to GT. I can't wait until we are up in Atlanta together. 

I have to say, this weekend was nothing shy of boring. I am such a lucky girl. 

Love,

On the River.

This week was River of Life week. In case you don't know what ROL is you all can read up on it here:

This was my last year as a Senior High student participating in ROL. Luckily, I was blessed with an amazing crew, P-2! We finished THREE houses and helped two other crews finish up another house on our last day. This year's ROL was my favorite, by far. I got to sing with Lindsay Hall every morning on the way to our job site as well as hang out of Jill Thompson's sunroof singing Black Eyed Peas. Here are a few pictures of my crew and some events of the week:

I am reminded everyday how blessed I am to have such amazing people in my life. ROL has yet again taught me more than I ever though I could learn in four short days. 

Homemaker at Heart.

I have been VERY excited about all the new things I am getting for my apartment. It has been so much fun shopping for my very own place. One of my favorite places to shop in my garage...yes, you read it right. There are tons of boxes stacked up from when my parents moved in together. And best of all, it's free! However, sometimes I do venture out of the garage to find things I need. One of my most recent purchases was this striped burlap storage bag that I got from Kirkland's. It was only $7! I think it will be perfect for storing big blankets and it can even double as a laundry bag. Double Score!!!

The next item I got was an apron from the TJ Maxx in Hilton Head. I have been looking for a cute one like this for quite a while. I figured that if I had to cook for myself all the time I might as well look the part. The truth is, I can wait to start cooking. My Dad usually does all the cooking at home but now that I am going to have to fend for myself I am SO ready. Plus, with this cute apron I really don't have an excuse not to cook!

(Sorry for the bad picture quality. I was just to anxious to take another one.)

Until Next Time,

She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy.

Okay, Seriously?!?! This is so precious. I have to say, I have a soft spot in my heart for farmers. Maybe it's because my great grandmother lived on a farm for years and I spent many Sundays there or maybe it is just because I was born and raised in the South. Nonetheless, these boys get five stars for this video. Not only are they cute but also extremely witty. Let's make this go viral. They deserve it. Click on the link below!

Life In The Fast Lane.

It's true! Lilly is always right. I can't believe it is almost mid-July. The summer is flying by. I'm leaving the beach in the morning and coming back home. We have had a lovely time but we gotta get back to the real world. I am so excited for River of Life next week! It will be my last one as a Senior High student so it is a bit bitter sweet. Next thing I know it will be August 20th and I will be attending my first day of college! Life just keeps flying by but I know that I am making every minute count. I am surrounded by great people and couldn't be more blessed.


Until Next Time,


Sterl.
