I like today because...
Crazy loud thunderstorms all night and into the morning.
Dreams about tornados during the thunderstorms. OK, maybe not this one.
Good headband-hair day.
Rain jackets and Chacos as rainboots.
100 on microbiology free response.
Friend time.
Team Big Truckin' basketball.
Chocolate chip cookies.
Peanut butter english muffin breakfast.
Patty shorts.
Strawberries in my salad.
Biking.
Journaling and Jesus time.
A week until YL placement.

Desk Space
If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have noticed my newest board entitled "Desk Space." Farm table desks are my newest obsession. I love when rooms are styled with a mix of vintage and more modern pieces, and I think that a desk such as that would be the perfect way. I have spent the beginning of my spring break scouring Tyler's antique stores in search of the perfect (cheap!) farm table to use as a desk. Here are some of my favorite inspirations:
I actually found a desk very similar to the white one pictured above. I went back to said antique store today to get measurements and see how it compares to my current Walmart desk (she's a beaut, let me tell ya!). It matches up pretty wonderfully and it would look great in my room next year in front of the huge windows. We will see if by the end of Spring Break I have a new desk.
In other words, my dad and I are leaving for Tallahassee to visit my sister. I finally get to meet Baby Shep, so I am very excited. Unfortunately, things at my mom's work are crazy so she cannot come with which makes us all very sad. But regardless we are excited!
P.S.- This book has made it onto my wish list. I saw it in person today in Barnes and Noble and got to flip through the pages. It is wonderful! The houses featured remind me of my mom's house which is always nice.

Instagram Weekend
This weekend was a tiring but incredible whirlwind.
First up, Gattitown lock in Friday night. I stayed up all night (crazy for me!) and hung out with some middle schoolers. It was absolute chaos, but I loved every minute of it. I didn't get home and get in bed until 8 AM Saturday morning, and then slept soundly until about 12:45. I have a ton of studying to do, so I couldn't waste my entire day sleeping. Pictured is my friend and one of my roommates for next year, Megan. She's hilarious! She is a current leader at Jane Long Middle School. We were on "girl's room" duty around 5AM that morning so we made makeshift beds to rest. It's pretty safe to say we were incredibly delirious. Just ask Calvin about my feeble attempts at doing the Wobble in my craziness. It wasn't pretty!
I went on a walk around my neighborhood per usual when I started getting dozy studying. I figured some fresh air would help to wake me up and get me back in study mode. A street over is a guinea hen hang out. Real talk. These guineas just roam the streets and meander through the allys. I got pretty close to these little guys before they got too scared. This yard has one of those yellow signs in it that says "Guinea Crossing". Only in College Station, folks.
While on my walk, I also say this little guy singing away in the trees. He looked so happy and was certainly enjoying the beautiful weather. Not to mention his picture perfect pose.
This morning I ran my second half marathon, the Armadillo Dash! I hate to say it, but I didn't really train at all for this, which I could definitely feel while I was running. This half wasn't nearly as fun as my OKC one last May, but it was still a good experience. I beat my last race time by ten minutes, which was my only goal. So I consider it a success. This was both mine and Hayden's second race. His mom and sister ran today, too.
No sleep Friday night and the half this morning have left me achey and exhausted. My knees are throbbing, and I am currently walking more like a duck than the normal. My little achey limbs! I have three tests this week so there is no time for a nap, but on the bright side, one week and it's spring break for me!
I hope everyone has a great start to their week!
Oh, an update on roommate situations. I found out this morning that the two girls that were thinking of living with us are signing! So that makes 6 Young Life girls in one house. It's going to be awesome. I am so blessed!
