I still love you Mr. Rain, don't go away quite yet.

I think I become more obsessed with the rain everyday. There was a major storm here last night. It was gorgeous yesterday and then the wind blew so hard poor Harley and Jentz were terrified. It didn't rain until early this morning and it rained so hard! It was the best sleep I've had in a while.

Yesterday I took Jentz to Fall Creek Falls. Most people in the area go like all the time, but there are others that haven't so if you've never been, check it out sometime. Me and Caleb were supposed to take Amber and Lee there over spring break, but it never happened. Sad times, but maybe we will be able to go soon. This was Jentz's second trip to FCF and we color coordinated outfits for photo purposes; however, with the thin fur that didn't last long. He had a cute little purple bandanna aruond his neck, but he got cold so we had to put on a jacket.



This is us by the lake in the park.



Poor little guy. He is usually very into the idea of photos, but he was cold and getting annoyed as you can tell by him smacking me in the face. haha



And the last is the one of us by the cascades at Fall Creek Falls. It was so so so windyyy!!

On another note, while going to make tutus in the park the other day with Amber we were riding down the road listening to music and none other than...

yes, Justin Bieber came on! This 16 year old kid is now my new favorite person to sing along with. I just sing and dance my heart out to his songs 'Baby' and 'One Less Lonely Girl'. I know he's 16, but I just love it so much. And... me and Amber will be attending his concert in Nashville on August 11. Ye-ah!! I am so stoked.

I always talk about Amber, but I have never given a link to her blog, so here you go. :} Continue to check out our vlog here!

I suppose I will leave you with the lyrics of one of mine and Amber's favorite Justin Bieber songs. p.s. This is how every guy should be to his girlfriend...

There's gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
There's gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl

How many I told you’s and start overs
And shoulders have you cried on before
How many promises be honest girl
How many tears you let hit the floor
How many bags you packed
Just to take ‘em back tell me that
How many either or's but no more
If you let me inside of your world
There’d be the one less lonely girl

Saw so many pretty faces before I saw you
Now all I see is you
I'm coming for you

Don't need these other pretty faces like i need you
And when you’re mine in the world
There's gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
There's gonna be one less lonely girl
I'm gonna put you first
I'll show you what you’re worth
If you let me inside your world
There’s gonna be one less lonely girl

Christmas wasn’t merry 14th of February not one of them spent with you
How many dinner dates set dinner plates and
He didn’t even touch his food

How many torn photographs saw you taping back
Tell me that couldn’t see an open door
But no more
If you let me inside of your world
There'll be one less lonely girl

Saw so many pretty faces
Before i saw you you
Now all i see is you
I'm coming for you

Dont need these other pretty faces like i need you
And when your mine in this world
There's gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
One less lonely girl

There's gonna be one less lonely girl
I'm gonna put you first
I'll show you what you’re worth
If you let me inside of your world
There's gonna be on less lonely girl

I can fix up your broken heart
I can give you a brand new start
I can make you believe
I just wanna set one girl free to fall,
Free to fall
Fall in love
With me

Her hearts locked and nowhere to get the key
I’ll take you and leave the world with one less lonely girl

16 or not, him and his lyrics are precious. Me, 21, and Amber, 22, both agree.

Oh, rainy days, I love you, but allergies I hate you.

I love the rain. I wish it would rain every single day. I need to live somewhere like Seattle because I love it so much. I think what I love most is how calming and peaceful it is. Most people are in a horrible mood on rainy days, but they are my favorite of all!


I also love my rain boots. They have little baby blue whales and they're wayyy cute.



Today was a fabulous day. I was so tired and I was so sick from my allergies. I went to class, signed my name to the roll so I wouldn't be counted absent and then I left again and came home. I feel asleep at like 11:00 and didn't wake up 'til almost 2:00. It was so nice to just sleep and sleep and sleep until I felt like waking up.

Recently, I stumbled upon how delicious Dove chocolate is and my favorite part is not even the chocolate, it's the little quotes inside. Today I ate three (oops!) and they said:
• "Smile when you want to, cry when you need to, laugh whenever possible."
• "Let chocolate warm your soul."
And the third was a link to the Dove website for chocolate recipes. I haven't read over any of the recipes yet, but here is the link in case you want to. :]

I have a new obsession with owls. I just think they are so cute. I like the cartoon ones though, not the real ones, those are creepy. Amber is making me an owl key chain and I am so excited!!

I have been making tutus for little girls and I finished up the first one yesterday. It is so cute! This picture was taken on my phone so it's not fabulous, but oh well. Me and Amber have decided that the best place to participate in our new hobbies is at the park so now we sew and make tutus at the park by the river. We look like a couple of real winner's. haha It's so much fun though! We just haul my ipod and some little tiny speakers and sing along while we craft away. It's perfect on a nice afternoon!

Well there's the tutu. It's very princessy.

Procrastinating at its finest :]

So because I have a 5 page paper due for World Civ II tomorrow and I didn't read the book for the book review, I am doing all I can to put off writing the paper. Also, I realized I have written nothing about going to see Danny Gokey or my spring break trip with Amber. Both were amazing!

Seeing Danny Gokey was fabulous! The concert was really low key with only 200 people allowed in so it was really chill. So chill that he stayed to speak with anyone that wanted to see him. So nice. I love this guy. He has such an amazing story. Almost three years ago he lost his wife in surgery after a congential heart condition, she was only 27 years old. Her dream was for her husband to audition for American Idol so only a month after her death, he auditioned and made it to Hollywood. Not only did he make it to Hollywood, but he came in 3rd place on the show. After leaving the show he started a foundation called Sophia's heart which aids in helping people in need, providing scholarships for underprivileged children to seek out their dreams and other various needs. Check out the foundation here.



What could make the night better than simply seeing Danny Gokey in concert? That would be meeting him.

Such a super nice guy.

The next day i left with Amber to go to Gatlinburg for spring break, also known as "SB 10!!" haha We had a BLAST! We got in so much people watching and it's all on video here. Pretty much the whole trip has been documented on our vlog. My favorite is Bloopers are the best: part two. While we were there we visited WonderWorks. So much fun! if you're ever in the area, check it out. Here is the website. And below are some pictures!


We also paid the Hollywood Wax Museum a little visit.


And here are just a few other random shots from the trip. :]

nonsense & whimsicalites ♥

I am pretty stoked about this entire week! Tomorrow I have pretty much nothing planned which is fabulous because I am exhausted form school and such. I need a break! However, Wednesday cannot come soon enough!! I am going to see Danny Gokey with Candice!!!!!!!! Ah!!! Pictures to follow, but for now...

And then... Thursday I am leaving to go to Gatlinburg with Amber, Momma Rigsby, and her friend Diane. The weekend is sure to be full of hilarious scenarios considering that Momma Rigsby is so funny. She is so excited about going to "the Coldwater Creek."

On another note, I am going to be opening a mini business on the side! I am going to be making hair bows for babies, tutus for little girls, and various other novelties. They're going to be adorable! I have decided that I want my business to be very kid friendly, unrealistic, and fairytale-like, just like a little kid. I want it to be all about what a little girl would love! Therefore, the name is going to be nonsense & whimsicalities! I am very excited. Here is a VERY rough draft of the logo!

Another exciting thing coming up is that this summer I will be going to Honduras with Caleb and a team to minister there! It is going to be amazing to be able to have an impact on a child life's that otherwise may have never heard of God's love. I know that God is truly going to bless this trip and the people of this country. I can hardly wait! :]
