Lead Me

Im feeling very productive on my day off! I started the day early with a 6am workout with Connie and then a large coffee.. It felt so good. 400 hundred lunges helps the soul :).

So in the past couple of weeks Ive missed a lot of blogging. I apoligize! A full time job leaves little room for blogging, but Im going to try to keep it going! Ive found some great blogs that I want to keep up with.

I want to share with you a picture my friend Kelsey Clanton took about 3 weeks ago. She is a talented photographer, and one day...far far far away :)... She will definitely be taking my engagement pictures. I have to find Mr. Right first of course! She actually took 250 but I wont put yall through that! Haha I am using one(not this one) as a business card.

My bible study girls. Oh my bible study girls! Last week was a good one. We laughed and cried, and I could feel a bond forming we can never give up! I enjoy my monday nights so much. Thank goodness we will start a new one after Christmas holiday. I cant believe almost 9 weeks has gone by! It has helped me grow so much as a christian and a woman. Its been the best kick start for me. I just cant get enough!

Ok I need to get busy before this productive feeling ends. It usually does very quickly! Ill leave you with a song that comes on KLOVE very regularly that I lovveeee!

Im back!

Im embarrassed! Ive been too embarrass to check my blog even! I have been so busy and work and at the gym that my world has just been spinning. So today on my 30 TOPICS of blogging, Im showing yall a recent picture of me. Honestly...I have none. I wish I had more pictures lately but oh well!

This sweet girl is Sidney Mitchell. She was one of the junior maids at Magnolia Heights Homecoming court. All the girls were so so pretty! The pep rally was so cute too. I teared up a little during the cheerleading dances. I miss it so much!

I have to do this, here is a picture from Homecoming my Junior year...Its so sad that it was so long ago! So funny though!

Thats all I have today!

The Wonder Years

So I decided to change the name of my 30 Days of Blogging to my 30 Topics of blogging. Seeing as I am very bad at posting everyday. This last week has been crazy, and I cant even tell you why! Just one of those weeks your mind just goes in circles.

Today I get to share some pictures of me over 10 years ago. The only ones I have on my computer are ones that I was around 4 years old.. Sorry, no awkward 12 year old pictures! Maybe someday Ill have the courage to do that!

I mean how cool were we? My mom and dad used to take us to this zoo where the animals ran free. Llamas would stick there heads in your car and everything. Its one of my earliest memories.

Oh this picture makes me laugh. We made a pretty good team.

Hope everyone is having a good Thursday! And guess what! Tomorrow is Friday! Cant wait to spend the weekend in Oxford :)

Yeah........about that.

My 30 days of blogging goes on....A photo I took.

These picture ones are hard to choose from, but this time I finally only chose one. Love these boys. I miss our crazy adventures in highschool. Im pretty sure that this was in college though.

They embarrassed me with this one. I think a family of 4 was walking around watching us. I can just hear them now, yelling and carrying on. This picture defines them though. So glad I have these memories to look back on with this group.

Until the next time,
Victoria

That Sweet Boy

My 30 days of Blogging continues... Picture that makes me sad. This is definitely not my favorite subject!

It was 2 in the morning and I got a call. I had been at my brothers basketball game that night. I was sitting in the parents section with Mom, and I looked down at the student section and saw that goofy boy being himself. I thought to myself, I need to go down there and give him a hug, because I hadnt seen him in a while. I never did though. That call was the worst call Ive ever gotten. " Colby..he was in a wreck......"

Let me explain Colby Mason to you.  This blue eyed boy was one of those kids everyone just loves. He was funny, handsome, best athelete, and made everyone his bestfriend. When I was the trainer at during highschool, this boy stole my heart. Him and probably everyone else knew he was my favorite. I never felt like he was 3 years younger than me. Some of the funniest stories I know are about him. He was everyone's favorite. He just had a way about him that I adored. I loved seeing him waiting in that training room for me every afternoon, saying "Vigger!!!"

Everytime I think about him, I have the saddest and happiest feelings in the world. That small amount of time he was on this earth, he just made it better. It still doesnt seem real, but you just have to go on. Not forget, but go on and have that "Colby Mason way" about you.

Lets all just remember to cherish the days, the people, the small things, and the big moments in our lives. A good conversation, an inside joke, a walk outside, your favorite song, or just a good friend to sit with. And always, always....if something tells you to give someone a hug, do it. Dont let that moment pass, because you may not get the chance to show some love to that person ever again.

Pictures that make my heart happy

My picture on my header, yes. I love this picture so much, it brings me back to that fun dance we did for Lindsey on her wedding! I cant imagine what she was thinking at this point.

My senior christmas dance. This describes the boys so much, just goofy. Us girls look so awkward but the boys knew exactly what they were doing. This makes me smile everytime!

Oh I miss country on beale. We had so much fun that summer. Im sure we were singing or something embarrassing haha!

This picture makes me laugh everytime. Daniel, Katie, and I decided to take a dip...in our clothes. Katies face is my favorite....ever.

So so long ago. This is one of my best friends, Kelsey. And this picture is the definition of our relationship. So much has changed in our lives, but we can always pick up where we left off. Can you believe she will be married in March?! Ahhh!

Well these were only a few of the pictures that make me happy. I will be putting on more of my favorites after my 30 days of Blogging is complete. Hope you enjoyed some of these goofy pictures!

And the results are in...

Yes 20 of my favorite things! I took some time today at work to write them, because I was excited about this post for some reason. It put me in a good mood too. I should start writing down my favorite things everyday!

No specific order....

1) Lucy -(Goose, Suzie, Suzer, Sekisui, Goosie, Luce) She knows every one of her names too! She makes me smile daily, starting at 7:15 every morning when she comes in my room and hops in my bed for a few more minutes of sleep (thats when everyone else in my house leaves). Im scared to get another dog just because they might not compare to her!

2) Bible Study Group- Oh this group of girls just brightens my Mondays. God really did have a plan when he brought us together. We get a girls night every week! I dont want to think about it almost being half way over!

3) Pictionary- Ok I cant tell you many things Im very good at, but I have been called the Lebron James of pictionary. It all started in 11th grade history. Two words: bonus stickers. I love love love this game. I carry it in my car at all times just in case someone wants to play with me. Pathetic, I know. Dont judge me!

4) Magnificent Mile Chopped Salad from Windy City Grille- Yall this is the greatest. Chicken, cranberries, bacon, eggs, and vinagerette dressing. Its the only thing I get there and I dont feel guilty afterwards! Try it next time!

5) My books- I have always been a reader but here lately I can not get enough. Ive been going through a book a week since May it seems like (could be me being moved back to my mothers house). I get lost and I dont want them to end. It helps me go to sleep, it makes me think, I barley watch tv. I guess it has a lot of benefits then. Right now on my bedstand is Nicholas Sparks new novel Safe Haven. Awesome so far. I just have to remind myself the lovey dovey ooewy gooey isnt always realistic tho. Heck its no worse than these love movies everyone watches anyways.

6) Dr Pepper- If I was ranking this list, it would have been number 1 or 2. I crave it no matter what. Ive limited myself to 1 a week the past 4 months. Sometimes I break that but Ive been mostly good. I dont know what it is. Can, bottle, over ice, I dont care. I love it!

7) Necklace from my mother- She gave me this necklace when I moved to school in Jackson. Its a sterling silver circle with my initials engraved in the front and the word "here" in the back. She told me no matter what or where I was, she would always be right here for me. And it just so happens to fall right over my heart.

8) My backyard- Im so glad Ronnie has good taste. We have a flat screen out there with patio furniture right there to watch it. Want to eat dinner while watching tv outside? No problem. We also have a high table and chairs with an umbrella. Want to watch tv while lounging in the pool? No problem. Our pool is so close to the house that you can float and watch The Office anytime of day ;).

9) A clean room before bedtime- I need my room almost spotless to sleep. Touch of OCD it looks like. I dont like my sheets all tangled up, and I like a clean floor. Not too bad of a habit I guess.

10) Fall- Crisp mornings, dew on the ground, the smell. It doesnt last long enough. I guess we wouldnt appreciate it as much if it was all year around. Its such a romantic season, dont you think?

11) Football- This goes along with fall. I loved waking up in highschool knowing I got to put that cheerleading uniform on and cheer on those cuties. You couldnt have a bad day in a cheerleading uniform I swear. Now a days, I get the same feeling, but just in a cute dress in the grove. I dont know what it is about football, but I love the feeling.

12)Trenton playing basketball-  Oh I looked forward to this more than I did football. Thats saying a lot. I was his biggest fan. I loved being on the bench with the team and getting to write down all his 3s, assists, and even fouls. He made me so proud. I cant believe how much I miss those days already. I knew I would miss it, so I cherished every moment in highschool.

13) The Molly Ringwalds- I know Ive already talked about it, but if you watched the video, you understand. I wont go on too long, but anyone who wants to experience this band in person, please let me know!

14) My job- If you had my first 2 jobs in hairdressing, you would understand why I love Headlines so so much. Drama free( crossing my fingers), stress free, good people to work with, good people sitting in my chair. I love doing hair. Plain and simple!

15) Cowgirl boots- I just got my third pair of nice boots and I am in love! Ill upload a picture later. I think boots are the cutest thing you can wear. Im in no way a country girl, but I love me some cute boots!

16) Peyton Manning- Love the colts, love peyton. Him being the greatest quarterback ever is only part of the reason I adore this man. Watch his SNL clips. Too too funny. He definitely got the personality (sorry Eli!). Hes just one of those guys that you want to be their friend.

17) Simone from American Idol- I know, i know. Hes the devil. But he is so funny doing it. His faces that he makes just crack me up. And I am sorry but he knows exactly what he is talking about. He called it about Carrie winning that year. Im very sad he is leaving.

18) Ralph Lauren Romance- I started wearing it when I was 15, and it is still my favorite. I spray it on my bed, in my car, in my room. Cant get enough of it. I try to wear other perfumes, because I feel like I should get out there and meet new ones :). Ill always come back to my trusty ole Romance.

19) Highschool memories- Ill be the first to admit it. I miss highschool. I had the best class. Other grades hated us because we were so sarcastic, but it worked for us. I love our memories we have. Our reunions will be so much fun, I cant wait! I have a feeling we will all just pick up where we left off. Mostly because 80 percent of us still hang out and I dont see that ending too soon.

20) Past 3 years- I have made some of the greatest friends I could ask for since Ive been out of highschool. What a relief. Sometimes I worried about missing out on the real college experience, but hey, Im surviving just find. I still have my old ones, but my new ones have just brought new laughs and adventures for me to remember forever.

Hope I wasnt too lengthy, I know I was! Try to think of your favorite things everyday and see how good your mood will be! And Im not checking this one for misspelled words or gramatical errors, so bare with me!
