Monday Musings

1. It's 13 days til my birthday, ya'llllll.
2. It's also one week til fall semester starts. Wah wah wah.

3. I love little kids. I made my first "official" school appearance today as Miss Country Sunshine and I had a ball! Upon entering one classroom, I sat down in the storytime chair and was beginning to explain to the class my job as Miss Country Sunshine and why I was there. Mid-sentence, one little boy tells me, "Our teacher already told us this stuff, ya know..." I could have died!

4. I'm considering temporarily ending my relationship with Insanity (workout) to join a local gym, just to change things up. Gotta keep it fresh.

5. I love Reagan the cocker spaniel and Samson the huskie more and more each day. God bless those little furry canines :) I can swear to you they speak through their little eyes!

6. More people need to embrace dirty hair. I don't wash my hair everyday and I'm PROUD of it! I'll take 2-or-3-day old dirty hair over freshly washed hair anyday, thank you. Don't hate, appreciate.

7. Deuteronomy 31:6

Busy Bee Pageant Girl & Her Faith

Saying I have been busy the past couple weeks is a major understatement. Between work, school, time with my honey & family/friends, workouts, & pageant prep...I have barely had time to breathe! Maybe I'll get a break one day...maybe. Any who, it's 13 days til Miss Country Sunshine. Am I excited? Yes. Am I nervous? Yes. Go figure :)

Anywho, I cannot wait to meet all the ladies! One of my favorite parts of pageantry is meeting new friends. I have many of my pageant girls whom I consider close friends...gotta love it!

I need to try my best to keep calm over these next 2 weeks. I confess, I am bad with anxiety. Very, very bad. So I have been trying to focus on some different scripture each day to help...today I've reminded myself of Romans 8:28 all day long (one of my absolute favorites)

Have a blessed (& peaceful!) week, guys! xoxo - C
