Something I Love {Fifth Installment}

I love Scrabble. Mostly I love it when I win. Which I did tonight! Race and I are SUPER competitive {at least when it comes to Scrabble and/or Words with Friends} so we get pretty upset when we're losing. But, we still love each other and enjoy the time that we get to spend playing games together. And I supported Race 100% while he was upset and losing and he supported me 100% while I was ecstatic and winning. We're cool that way.


Race set up for the game while I ate a bowl of lucky charms as a late night snack. :]

























Please notice Race covering up the board so no one can see and the crinkled paper with our scores on it that he also didn't want anyone to see {I fished it out of the garbage}--I told you we're competitive! Also, you can just see how intense we are when we play. We have some serious game faces!

Something I Love {Fourth Installment}

I absolutely love school supplies.

Notebooks, binders, agendas, folders, pens, pencils, ALL of it.

Going out and buying new school supplies each year helps me to get excited and ready for the new year.

This is my last year of college and I am honestly going to miss buying new, cute stuff each year.

I guess I'll just have to have some little chillens so that I can start buying them cute supplies in just a few years. :]

 Well, here are my supplies that I got this year:

Binder {on sale at Target}



Folders {Target}

 

Agenda {Target}

Aren't they cute?

 

I am so grateful for my education.

And so grateful that I am almost done!!

Something I Love {Third Installment}

Beautiful is the way to describe Flagstaff. I am so grateful to be living here. Race and I would LOVE to settle here once Race finishes law school. {Have I told everyone that law school is Race's plan? I have such a smart, ambitious husband!} Today I went on a walk with the twin girls I am watching right now. They live in a beautiful neighborhood with a walkway going right through a foresty area. Walking through the trees and wildflowers was gorgeous. And the weather was perfect. It's so nice to have this time in Flagstaff right now even if we don't end up being able to settle here someday.

Beautiful trees and sky.

The view on our pathway.

Some pretty wildflowers.

A wildflower one of the girls took a picture of.

Something I Love {Second Installment}

For the past few days it has been raining in Flagstaff.

I love the fresh smell that lasts the whole day. 

I love the sound of the thunder and the pouring rain. 

I love having a gorgeous view out my windows.

I love standing outside my door and watching the ground soak up the rain.

Next time I'm not just going to watch. 

I am going to play in it. 

That's another thing I love: playing in the rain. 

Throw on my rainboots and I'll be set! 

Something I Love {First Installment}

I love the feel of a full notebook. 

I love the sound of the pages crinkling. 

I love the look of my handwriting and doodles filling up every spare space on every page. 

I love going back and reading the random thoughts I've had. 

I love seeing what random games I played to amuse myself. 

I love the many different colors of pen I used. 

My notebook isn't quite full yet but it's getting there.
I can't wait for it to be full and to get to buy a cute new notebook. 

I love that even though I can't always express myself well with my spoken words I can write out every single random thought that passes through my crazy brain.

I don't know if I will ever be good at organizing my thoughts and putting them into words {on paper or out loud} that make sense to anyone else...

But I am glad that writing, no matter how random and disjointed it is, is something that I enjoy doing and am able to do often. 

Writing is something that has helped me to learn so much about myself and often helps me to let off steam and get my thoughts out somewhere. I am grateful for the ability to write.
