T.J

I don't know who this T.J is, but I like him!

Tonight, my boyfriend and I went to see Despicable Me (amazing by the way). After shopping, eating, and more shopping, Seth decided he wanted to go to T.J Maxx. My oldest sister, Kate, has tortured me with her glory stories of T.J Maxx, but I, being the stubborn person I am, refused to want to go in. Since I am probably the best girlfriend ever (not), I tagged along Seth's side in the store. I loved it! I ended up adding these wonderful mint green Converse to my always growing, very large collection.

What I learned today: Don't let your stubbornness get in the way of a good bargain!

Hello, lake. I like you...a lot.
These pictures are from a few weeks ago (sorry for not posting them sooner...I'm a slacker) on one of my mom's random rides to the lake. We enjoy these random rides. Do you see the geese? We called to them...they stared at us like we had lost our minds (they were right).

"The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being."-Tenzin Gyatso

I think, sometimes, we get so caught up in living our own lives that we forget about everyone else. Don't ever forget the people who love you...I never will.

Say Cheese

"The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions."-Anonymous

My boyfriend hates taking pictures. He makes every face possible just to irritate me...even though he could just take one picture nicely so I wouldn't make him take a million, but that would be too easy.

Tonight, my mom took my sisters, boyfriend, and me to see the Sorcerer's Apprentice. We LOVED it! It was very, very good! (P.S. My dad was fishing with my uncle.)

Hooray for movie night!

Dancing Through Life

As my boyfriend and I were dancing through Walmart, I came across the thought, "Why be afraid to make a fool of yourself?" There is absolutely no reason to be afraid of making a fool of yourself! Live your life. Dance everywhere you go. Sing out loud. Buy a crazy outfit because YOU love it! Don't ever be afraid to live, because while you are being afraid you are wasting the best times of your life. The world gives you permission to live your life, so go live it!

Giving A Damn

"Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."-Gore Vidal

I entirely agree with this quote. Style is not fake or showy; style is simple and natural. If you strive to be "stylish" you must know yourself. Never try to be anyone or anything that you are not naturally because it will look as if you are trying too hard. Style should never look like you are trying too hard. If you are happy with your own style then don't "give a damn" whether someone else will like it. Style IS confidence, and if you want to be stylish, be confident in what you wear.

Date Night

FINALLY! It has probably been a month since my boyfriend and I have gone on a date. We FINALLY went on a date, JUST THE TWO OF US, tonight! We drove around Auburn University, our new home, for about an hour or so. We are absolutely in love with Auburn's campus. Then, we went to Santa Fe and stayed for two hours, literally. As usual, we debated on the way home...as usual, it ended in a tie. Neither of us like to step on each other's toes about our ideals and beliefs. We enjoy a good debate...who doesn't...??
