topic #2

No, I wasn't lying when I said I promise to not stop blogging again. I had a few minor speed bumps this week, but we're back on track now. However, I have decided that instead of doing a 30 day challenge, I'm just going to do a 30 topic challenge. This seems more practical to me and a way to justify not being able to blog every single day! haha.. yes, i make excuses for myself.. but who doesn't?!

I know all of you are eager to know why I skipped a few days of blogging. So here is a run down of my oh-so productive, fun-filled, adventurous few days. In case I haven't mentioned before, I love college football and the Georgia Bulldogs. I live right on the Alabama/Georgia border, so of course my entire family is split between teams. I, however, bleed Red and Black. And this weekend is the best weekend for Georgia football. This weekend is the longest running rivalry of college football in the south.. come on people.. its Auburn vs. Georgia weekend!! I have some pretty amazing friends that are students at Auburn so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to catch up with them as well as support my beloved bulldogs! So Tuesday night, LH [who always drives the girls around in her car better known as Sally], my little [Bree -which you will hear more about over various topic challenges] and myself made a trip to Atlanta to pick up my ticket for this weekend. Some people may call it crazy for paying a complete stranger $80 for football ticket, but I call it love. So that's my excuse for missing Tuesday's blogging session... and as for yesterday... class and work mostly consumed my day.. and of course I had to attend the social with Sigma Nu :) Our theme for the social was Disney vs. Nickelodeon... pictures are soon to follow!
So there is the run down of my life the past two days.. which brings us to now.. back to topic challenge #2... so enjoy getting to know me more :)

Topic Challenge #2 - Meaning behind blog name

-         The meaning behind my blog name is simple, really. For the longest time I have lived my life by trying to plan out each individual detail. It took a long time for me to finally realize that as much as I plan and want for things to happen, things [LIFE] is unpredictable. I always thought by planning everything out in my life, somehow, my life would follow that neatly constructed plan. WRONG. And in fact, I could not have been more wrong. It didn’t take long for me to realize that while I was busy making plans, life was happening all around me and I was missing out. So for once, I stopped making plans. I stopped trying to be the driver of my life’s destination. From that point on, my life has been thrown many curve balls and up and down moments. I realize that having a life plan keeps me on track, and don’t get me wrong, I have a plan. But the greatest thing I’ve learned is that sometimes, the “speed bumps” and “alternate routes” are worth taking, its worth having the memories. I could have never imagined that I would have the journey that I’m on now. I have been given so much more than I deserve, and for that, I will be forever grateful.  The past is the past for a reason and the future is unknown to us all… so what better way to live than living right now, in the present, living for the moment.

7, 648 days of my life have already been written, and for the future, well…

the rest is still unwritten
"You may not end up where you thought you were going, but you always end up where you are meant to be."

I'm backkkk :)

Guess who's back?! I couldn't be more excited about blogging again! I was really into it at first, but like so many other things in my life, that quickly faded away. However, I still read other blogs so don't think I completely ignored you! I guess sometimes I feel as though I have nothing to say or what  I want to say doesn't seem important or interesting enough to be on my blog.. but after much pushing from my friends and a desire to share thoughts again.. I'm back and better than ever! I promise to not leave for long periods of time this go around. I promise to blog about whatever.. no matter if it sounds stupid, non important or whatever.


So in honor of my return to the blogging world.. I have stolen the 30 day challenge from my friend Lauren.. so thank you LH :)
I'm super excited to begin this challenge and let everyone in on more details of my life! If you're reading this, then I want you to feel like you know me. So the 30 day challenge will be a great way to get back into the blogging world as well as share different information about me and my crazy roller-coaster life.
