Stupid Hearts...


I kinda feel like I've done everything backwards in my life up to this point. I feel in love with the first boy I ever dated as a Senior in high school. I was seventeen years old and thought my life couldn't get any better. We went off to college together and were engaged by our Sophomore year. I remember being so excited. Looking back now, I don't know what in the world I was thinking. How did I think we were going to make that work? We still had two years of college ahead of us. Where were we going to live? Who was going to pay the bills? These were the questions that should've been rolling around in my head. However, all I remember thinking was how lucky I was. I felt so blessed to have found "the one" at such a young age. I thought I was so lucky to be able to marry my first love. Things changed, I changed, about a year and a half later I broke off the engagement. We remained friends and eventually started dating again. I was happy, but something just wasn't the same. Fast forward a year and here I am. Single.

I know everything happens for a reason. I know he was not "the one" for me. I know all of these things, but that doesn't make what I'm going through right now any easier. Every time I get on Facebook lately it seems another good friend of mine has either gotten engaged, or married. It's like those stupid hearts are mocking me. So and so went from being in a relationship to engaged, or so and so went from being engaged to married. Don't get me wrong, I am so happy for them. I feel guilty even saying out loud for the whole world to hear how those little pink hearts make me feel.

What's really bothering me is that it feels like everyone else my age is moving in a different direction from me. I am going backwards. To be honest...it stinks. While I was happily engaged, everyone else was dating, or single. Now that I am single and figuring out life on my own for the very first time, everyone else is getting married. I know it will happen for me. When it does it will be beautiful and perfect. I have to be patient and wait.

Anyone else out there hate those stupid pink hearts?

Sorry for complaining...

It's Been a LOOOONNNG Time Girls!

Oh my word ladies it has been a loooonnggg time. Over an entire month since my last post to be exact. That is just sad. I get on blogger almost everyday to read everyone else's blog posts, but lately I've been neglecting my own little piece of this bloggy world.

There really isn't too much to report. Still single. Still teaching. Still watching lots of football. Those three little sentences pretty much sum up my life right now.

To catch you up on ever things that's been going on in my life the past month, I thought I would do a little picture post. Bear with me here as you scroll through a TON of pictures.

The sweetest little girl in my class came up to my desk the other day and handed me this sweet little not. Apparently in her eyes, I'm a pageant princess. I couldn't care less about that. I'm more excited about the role model part. I have the best job in the world, I get the opportunity to influence young minds and shape the future. I pray each day that I am doing what is best for my children. Hopefully I am someone worth modeling.

I was so excited to receive my very first apple. I feel like such a real teacher now!

I have a student in my class whose father played football at Ole Miss and is in the Ole Miss Hall of Fame. He was telling me that his parents were going to the Hall of fame reunion and they were going to see Archie Manning. I jokingly said, "You be sure to get me an autograph". He said, " Okay Miss. Holley I sure will". Boy did he ever. He brought this into me the following Monday.
This little baby is the new love of my life. Ladies allow me to introduce you to the Erin Condren life planner. I did not pay the full price for this little charm. Shipping was free and I had a gift card. So, I paid next to nothing for it. After using this planner for a few weeks now I have realized that I would be willing to pay full price for it the next time. Totally worth it ladies.

I took my adorable baby brother to his first Ole Miss game. He never misses a game on television, but he has never seen a game in person. I have been trying to convince him to go to a game with me for forever. He finally caved and went with me. We may have lost, but we sure had lots of fun!
Look who I found! Two of my favorite friends! Miss the boys an awful lot.

Hotty Toddy! Go Rebs!

Family Campfire! Nothing better than roasting marshmellows with your family circled around a good camp fire. Man how I love Fall.

Shira Lani came for a visit. It was so nice to see her. We talk on the phone several times a week, but there is nothing like spending time together in the same place. I miss my sweet friend.

I've been working on redoing my room for some time now. When I moved back home after graduating, my poor little room looked the same as it did when I was a senior in high school. Let's just say my style has changed a little since I was a seventeen year old. Here's the finished product. I'm loving it!

Who's ready for so high school football? We are!! I love spending time with my sweet mini me at all my brother's games. She sure keeps my life interesting!

I was one happy sister this Friday because my brother started in his very first varsity football game. I was so proud of him I was beaming. I have been watching this child pay ball since he was seven. Watching him do what he loves brings a smile to my face every time. Love him more than I can tell you!

Poor thing woke up this morning with the stomach bug. Send healing prayers up for him please. Praying that no one else in the family gets it.

Enjoy your Sunday ladies!
