job search 2011 has begun.

wish me luck.

my dream

well, friends. i have discovered my dream. my sister is getting married this summer, and I am lucky enough to get to design her invitations. this is a win-win situation, because she is saving money, and i am getting to do something i love.

so to be in the know of what is going on around the wedding invitation world, i have started following all these wedding/invitation blogs. and they are so great, and give me the best ideas and a new found love for paper and design. that being said. i want a letter press machine. and i want a little shop out of my house. and i want a blog that people follow. and i want to design invitations for the best moments of peoples lives.

so, i am at the beginning stages of this dream of mine. trying to figure out exactly how to do all this. and how to accomplish this in my life.

and for all you engaged's out there, i know there are a lot, if you need some invitations done, and are willing to take a chance on me..i promise to work with you until we get exactly what you want!

so, once i get things finalized and designed. i will post them here, for you all to enjoy.

bottoms up to 2010

as i sit here, cuddled up in my favorite k-state sweatshirt (duh, it's winter, so i have it on all the freaking time), i can't help but think about the past year of my life. 2010. it had its ups and downs, like all years do- but overall, i can say that i learned a lot about who i am. i have now been graduated for 7 months, and i honestly have forgotten college life. it is so great to have a routine, and the weeks go by so quickly. i am learning SO much at work, and I get to do things i really enjoy doing.

while i am often envious of my friends back at k-state, that they get to go to games/all live within 5 minutes of each other, i am starting to realize that that chapter of my life is over. and the next one is just beginning. people around me are growing up, getting married, moving all over and becoming real functioning members of society.

in 2010 i went through joy, stress, heartbreak, unhappiness, confusion, and so much more. and i look forward to what 2011 is going to bring. there is so much unknown in my life, but when i think about it, the more i think about how God knows exactly what my life will entail. he knows what is going to come in the future, and he is preparing me for it with every life step i take.

and now i am watching the scene in chronicles of narnia and they are about to kill aslan. and it is such an incredible portrayal of what Jesus did for us. and it is beautiful.

peace out homeboys and here is to 2011.

a minor freakout.

ahh.

im being emotional this week.

Is this what my life is going to be like in three weeks?

things are happening. school is ending. people are leaving. and i am not. i have not seen any glimpse of my future. i still have been applying for jobs, but never hearing anything back. yes, maybe i should have networked more but i don't even know if that would have helped.

my back is always tense

i am getting headaches like 394 times a day

and i think its because i am freaking out about the future....because pretty soon it will be NOW.

so i have started listening to every backstreet boy song to make me feel young again.

or something. i don't really think that is helping.

BAHHH is all i can do right now.

my future?

Where Will The Jobs Be This Decade?

Let me review my options according to this list.

1. no, can't do that. too much school

2. i don't even know what that means...taking care of people at home? i don't have the patience for that

3. i think this is a possibility....but i tend to to think when people make stupid errors i start thinking "DO YOU FREAKING HAVE A BRAIN? so i would need to reevaluate Grace in my life.

4. i do have a certification in this from school this past summer. so this could work. just not my passion i don't tihnk.

5. see number 2. i think its the same...

6. I did this once. I hated it. people are snobby. Don't want to make a career out of it.

7. ummm i think i am better then this? don't they just type?

8. i will share with you a little secret..i kind of like accounting. I am not good at it..but i like when the numbers all work out. but this doesn't happen but 10% of the time i do the problems. so i don't see it as career choice.

9. once again, too much school/ not a good science body person

10. i like kids. i don't know what i would teach though..and my roommate who is going to be a great teacher is doubting herself, so i don't think i would be that good at it..

maybe i will just focus on this article instead?

first i have to get a job...

my last winter break.

i can't believe i just typed that.

why??????????

ok...get a grip

things i have learned over break so far:

1. traveling with a large group of people has made me realize that i don't want a big family...(ok, i still kind of do..i want kids that all match in Polo and we travel together and are so cute) but maybe if they are my kids i can control them more. I loved going on the cruise, but it was stress city....and i put more stress on myself then anyone else put on me.

2. michael beasley has 2 kids. WHAT? michael, get a grip on your life and stop being a punk.

3. my computer has a slot where you can put a SD card in and it will pull up pictures right away! now i don't have to go searching for my camera hook up ever again! apple, you are genius.

4. as much as i love catching up with people i have not seen in a while, if your not dating anyone, or know what you are doing when you graduate, the conversation is awkwardly short. this i learned from experience, because both the above situations are true in my life.

5. i can't get anything done in my house, so being in manhattan for two weeks before school starts will hopefully make me be productive on jobsearch2010. i will also be baking lots of goodies in my NEW KITCHEN AID. love.

6. winsteads is possibly the only reason i would want to come to kansas city when i graduate. (ok this is not entirely true, but i miss that place)

7. i need to work out. this is my new years resolution

8. i am freaking gradating in may. it keeps getting closer. i got a K-State Alumni License plate thing for christmas from my little sister, who doesn't understand this freak out i have been having all fall. she is about to go into college, we'll see what she gets in four years for christmas...thats what we call karma.

i am sure the rest of break i will learn many more new things, but thats all i have for now.

have a good new years, and if you are in the little apple, look for me.*

*i wrote something else here originally, but decided not to post it. if you know me well, i'm sure you can guess what i said.

LOVE

what will life entail.

of course, this is the question i got asked most during break. and still no answer. obviously, i would have rejoiced and written about it. doesn't anyone read this? haha..

i'm kidding.

ok. break. good. i slept lots and my family was not happy that i did that.

the lake, always a joy. so pretty and such great times seeing family i hadn't seen in years. cousins are so great. and wicked and dinner with my sisters/mom also great. i like that musical, and the songs. we sang afterwards in the car. and then on saturday my friend kylie got MARRIED!?

WHAT?! i am now friends with a married friend. (i did have a married friend before, but this is beside the point.) her wedding was beautiful and she looked amazing. and it was all so cute. so congrats kylie and matt!

and today i saw The Blind Side with chelsi. we ate lots of popcorn, which will hopefully keep me full the rest of the night cause i have zero food in my house. but the movie was so great, and the fact that it is all real and true is so great too.

so a pretty boring blog post but there is my life for you all.

LOVE

can i really expect anything less?

typical kansas city curse.

first week of school went well. who knew sitting in a class all day could make you so tired. but i am excited about this semester and figuring out what comes next in my life. i think i am going to move somewhere random-follow friends to maybe colorado?, head south to Dallas, or east to Tennessee? -nows the time right? just have to find a job. please let me know if you have any suggestions.

oh weekend, how i love how you are 2 extra days.

go royals?

i don't need this from you.

ok weather channel, i know that i am single, and not getting married like everyone else in the world, so why rub it in? so next time i go to my weather bookmark and this comes up, i will not be happy. show me schoolday weather, or golf weather or even FITNESS weather, but not this. please and thank you.

my trip to DC.

i'm famous. thats all.

(ok i stumbled a bit, but the end makes up for it.)
