Yes those are ducks! The bride is OBSESSED with rubber duckies! I got those for her right after she announced her engagement. I didn't think she would use them on the cake.

Dance Party!
So I am not the biggest fan of exercise. It just isn't my thing. I hate running unless I have something to distract me. I have discovered that I enjoy Zumba and dancing. As long as I am distracted and thinking that it is just me having fun then I don't think about the exercise! I am having to recommit to my new year resolutions that I got distracted from and keep on them! I am excited to announce I will be going on a mission trip with a sorority sister's home church with her and few others to Jamaica to help out at an orphanage for about a week at the end of December and beginning of January I am so excited! So I am meeting with a sister tomorrow or Sunday to discuss our plans since she is going to be my accountability partner since she is going with me. Time to dust off my tiffany blue runnin shoes!

What's up Wednesday
Currently:
Feeling: frustrated. I can't seem to keep track of anything. I will be cleaning my room up soon!
Reading: well rereading Percy Jackson series while looking for a new book. It will come to me I have faith... And hopefully suggestions!
Listening to: Just Like Yesterday by Jesse Lee. It is perfect right now because I am seeing all sorts of friends from high school! I can't believe I graduated 6 years ago. With these friends things seem to pick up where we left them.
Thankful for: my dad.
Thinking about: dad again! It is almost Father's Day so I have every right! And I was offered and took the last spot on a mission trip with a sorority sister's church. I can't wait!
Eating: nothing but craving some strawberry froyo with crushed Oreos on top. It is my go to whenever I go.
Watching: Pretty Little Liars. the season premiere was last night. It was good but left me with SO MANY QUESTIONS! And Ezra I love you, and will have to write a strongly worded letter if you die. Seriously.
Looking forward to: The rain being gone. I know we need it but it magnifies my allergies so much worse and I want to feel better soon!
These are my Confessions
I have had that song stuck in my head for 2 days so why not make it the title of this post?!
Happy national iced tea day! I am planning in grabbing a sweet tea at lunch today and enjoying my Tuesday (though it looks like rain...) going back to the confessions I figured I would let my readers (the few that I have) in on somethings that you may or may not know about me!
• I like SWEET TEA. Like 2 cups sugar 1cuo tea. It isn't good for me I know but that is the way I like it.
• I love love love sticky notes!
• I enjoy laffy taffy jokes but hate taffy.
• I love binge watching shows on Netflix. It is terrible but I can sit there for hours.
• I am the planner in my group of friends, and it drives all of us crazy because none of the rest of them are!
• What's in your bag posts ALWAYS get my attention. I love seeing what people carry around with them, then I clean out my purse. Every time.
• I tend to set most of my clocks fast to try to be early or on time places.
• I usually have my hair up in a ponytail or back I work at a computer and desk and it bugs me when my hair keeps falling into my face.
• I am addicted to 3 shows: Pretty Little Liars (love it can't wait til tonight!!), Arrow (I get Felicity. I talk with my hands and my mouth thinks faster than my brain sometimes...) and Hart of Dixie (Rachel Bilson is my girl crush. I love her.)
Lastly...
• I am still trying to figure out this blogging thing... Please y'all bear with me.

Friday catchup!
So it has almost been a month since my last post which is ridiculously long. Sorry bout that. This past weekend I had a wedding in Texas. It was lovely. Yesterday was insane so here we are today. I absolutely love the "presently speaking" posts on the Duchess of Plumewood's blog and therefore using it as a template for my What's up Wednesday. (Hey I like it. It is funky but whatevs you know) anywho. We are starting this one a day late. I thought oh I am really going to love this whole blogging thing but I never comment on other blogs (I know I need to actually DO that to get my name out there I follow a lot and love reading them).
What's Up Wednesday:
Feeling: worn out. This week has been a tough one next week will be better.
Reading: not sure I finished 2 books last weekend that were okay. Any suggestions out there?
Listening to: Girls are Crazy by Joanna Smith. It has a good beat that helped this week along.
Thankful for: my little bro. I fell and scrapped my knee up REALLY bad. Being the athletic trainer major he took care of it.
Thinking about: Father's Day gifts. My dad is so difficult to buy for but I think I have an idea... Also I got an amazing offer from a friend this week that I am really considering (more to come soon promise!)
Eating: strawberries. I can't get enough!
Loving: my friendships. I know that several friend will be there for me regardless!
Watching: Arrow reruns. (CW love this show!)
Looking forward to: Sunday meetup with the girls and getting more posts done. (Currently working on the next and carrying around a notebook.)
