Hey guys, I have returned with the wonderful Things I Love Thursday.. at the very last moments of Thursday.

i love:
+Rainy weather, and being able to snuggle up in my bed and be lazy while I listen to the rain.
+No school stress
+Being able to wear normal clothes to class again, this including dress's.
+Orange Juice, It just makes me feel good after I drink it. And to think, I loathed this stuff as a kid.
+The management at my work, they're good people
+Being able to sit out at a pool and soak up that vitamin D
+Running
  +and running with a friend
+The movie Bad Teacher.. Hiilariious!

+Reconnecting memories with old friends
+Discovering that cake pops is a really easy recipe, oh yes! I am going to try out those for fourth of July!
+Signing up for LDI. Which is basically a techie conference with Lighting, Audio, and Projection stuff. And I get in free to the Exhibit Hall, and it is in Orlando. Woot!

Things I Love Thursday

Hello Blog,
I have missed you!
It has been quite some time since I have made the time to even visit back to my blog, let alone write.
Lots and lots of lovely things have been happening within the last few months...
Though before I get on with this, I suppose I should re explain this blog.
Things I Love Thursday, or TILT is all about writing about what I love. Mostly things I loved about my week and day. Though they are not limited to these time constraints, for example now.. I am going to go on about some things from the last few weeks.

To begin with, I made it through the Summer A semester I dreaded so much to go through. With A's, by the way. It was lots and lots of hours every week, but full of lots and lots of learning that I was thankful to be apart of. Including the show MidSummer Night's Dream at Valencia. I was on costume crew for the show and made a donkey head for the character Nick Bottom. It looked pretty awesome If I do say so myself. And the process of learning it was a whole new level of fun itself.

+The Midsummer production as a whole went extremely well, the look of the set, costumes, lighting and such came together very nicely
+Meeting new faces within this experience
+Being able to engage in learning about light board operating.
I learned scenic painting in Stage Craft and did a group enlargement project of a giraffe eating the moon, I think it's quite cute.

+Enjoying living in a nicer apartment
+Enjoying less driving and less use of gas because of my move
+Enjoying summer heat by the pool
+Cooking, despite my lack of skill
+Having a closet
+Still loving my phone five months later
+Making new friends
+Looking forward to my monthly massage this weekend
+Being able to wear normal clothes to class again, not ones covered in paint.
+Finding a new joy in the color red.
+Mood changing nail polish
+Glitter mood changing nail polish

Today...
+Trying some amazing food items prepared by cooks at my work during this morning's meeting
+The people I work with
+Spending time with friends from work
+Frozen yogurt = Love
+Window shopping/Trying on clothes we know we won't be buying
+Singing in the Apple Store
+Testing makeup at sephora
+"Testing" nail polish at Clair's, I got all my nails painted. haha
+Caving in a buying a dress from forever 21 that easily could have become my favorite dress in my closet
+Noticing the scripture reference John 3:16 on the bottom of the Forever 21 bags

Basically life seems to be going smoothly lately and I am constantly finding more optimistic opportunities. I have many more things to be excited about this upcoming summer and I hope It's one I will remember for years to come. I have missed you guys, I once again.. Thank you for reading my blog.
Love You All,

Things I Love Thursday

Welcome back fellow followers,

I know it has been awhile since I have posted, but I have been quite busy. I normally would be skipping this for homework right now, but it has been too great of a week to miss this one.

This week I really love:

Christ is Risen - Matt Maher

+Anthropologie released their new wedding line: BHLDN
+Being in the process of transitioning to Breakfast server at Hemisphere. It's been hard work, but the pay is better and the hours will end up being less.
+The fact that waking up at three am for work is super easy, yet I continue to struggle to wake up at six-thirty am for my government eight-thirty am class.
+The continuous pattern for street lights turning off as I drive by them, yet there was one that turned ON last week. It made me happy.
+ Going out with a close friend and her family to play Lazer Tag, despite the fact that I made a terrible score. haha
+Valentines Day:
+Getting chocolate.
+Bringing in a bucket of chocolate for my employees on Valentines Day and seeing them smile in joy.
+Having the afternoon/evening off from work and school on Valentines Day.
+Going out and having a girls night with my roommate and her friends to TGIF, and getting steak. Then going to see "Just Go With It," might I say... Hilarious! Afterwards heading to iKiwi. The. Best. Frozen. Yogurt. Yummm!
+Having three of my classes canceled this past week, which has given me extra time for..work/homework/social life.
+Going out with coworkers to Urban Flats, and a Piano Bar. The Piano bar was definitely the highlight of my week. I drank a orange juice and cranberry juice mix. haha. And listening to two cute men play the piano and sing popular songs was a BLAST.
+My mom bought me a Valentines gift. I miss her.
+The beautiful weather.
