I wanted to share with everyone one thing that brings about a majority of my happiness in this world. Finding new cooking blogs and printing off countless recipes. If I make them or not is always a good question, but I like to have them in my box so that if one day I need something new I can just get it out of my recipe box.
Well these past two days the "cook something new and yummy" desire struck again and I started looking on blogs for new recipes. This is when I discovered The Pioneer Woman. Yes I know that I am very behind in jumping on the band wagon, but I don't care at all. I have now looked at every recipe on the website. It is because of this that I found another good one Joy the Baker. I don't know who all has seen this one, but is good too! So since I was late in life in following these everyone has probably already seen them, I don't care. I hope that bring you happiness as well!
Lots of love!

Drum Roll Please...
So as with the recent trend today I am going to take the time to tell you about another one of my wonderful and inspiring best freinds.
This week is the one and only Laura Williams. This is because she is BACK IN AUBURN!!! WooHoo!!!
Laura and I became room mates first and best friends second. We didn't really know each other when we moved in, but I knew that things would work out. Now I don't even know what I would do with out this girl in my life. We do things that are a lot alike, and also some things that are very different. Laura is possibly one of the best people I know at keeping a friendship going despite distance, which is good because I have stated many times before that I am not. Laura and I share a love of tv shows, of Auburn football, and of many other things. The list is really long. She is one of the most loyal people I have ever met and will defend the people she loves until she wins, and she will win. She is crazy smart and a crazy hard worker. She will do her very best to never let herself down as far as her work effort goes and people are envious of what she can get done. She won't ever half way do anything. The thing I respect the most about my friend is that she will tell you exactly what you need to hear. Not what you want to hear. If you ask her a question you know without a shadow of a doubt that the answer you are going to get is the truth. I am so glad that she moved in with us and so glad that we eventually want to end up in the same city. I see us living together in our futres L-Dub! Love you.
Now for the Photos:
Laura, this blog has made me realize we don't take nearly enough photos together. Let's work on that! Love you!

I would like to introduce you to...
This is the second of my posts about my best friends. This week is all about Molly or Molz as she is known by those that have ever lived at Taleeda.
For some reason I think mine and Molly's friendship is the one I saw coming the least. I am not really sure why. I do remember the first time we ever hung out, just the fact tha tI picked her up and she had a Kavu purse on. We hung out with Suz that night, I feel like we might have all gone to dinner or something.
Molly and I share the role of the party planners in the group. Both of us like to host the shindig. Over the years Molly's quiet sweet spirit has always been one I admire so much. Everyone loves Molly. She is kind, strong, smart, and has a sense of humor that is all her own. Anytime I ever see someone fall down I think of Molly. We lived together for 3 years and I can say that she taught me a lot about myself in the fact that we would both get annoyed with how dirty our hosue was at the same time or sit down on the couch and have to tell each other the exact same thing. We always seemed to be on the same page. We share a love of the same tv shows and that is how we always spent our quality time together, over ABC or a good movie.
She is smart, organized, and level headed. She always seems to see the part or side of a problem that others may miss. I respect the grace and ease with which she lives life. Always conquering every task that is ahead of her. She IS the most repsonsible person I know. We are completely the same in some ways and completely different in others. I hope that everyone has a friend like her, someone who knows how you feel and challenges you all at the same time!

Best Friends
Last night inspired me to take a little time to tell you about my very special best friends:
This blog is dedicated to my bestie that moved to New York and I got to see last night for the first time in 2 months. I literally could not wait to drive to Bham yesterday to see her. I was like jumping up and down at work. I left at the first possible moment and ran home to change clothes and meet Suz. We drove to Birmingham to meet Mal at P.F. Chang's (one of my very favorite places to eat) and arrived around 7:00. When we got there it was raining but we hugged it out in the parking lot anyway.
Dinner was amazing, mostly due to the fact that we got to catch up on what had been going on in each other's lives. Mal has always been that person that I call when I have problems or when something new is happening in my life so I was glad to finally be able to bring her up to date on everything. I loved hearing all of her wonderful New York stories.
I am sad that I no longer get to experience life with Mal living right next door. She is one of the few people in this world that will just sit and spend quality time with me. Our target runs were epic and we always justified each other buying things that we did not need. To this day we send each other pictures of stores we wish we could go in with each other. She has the ability to pick out items in stores that I will love and tell me that I should buy them, even when I try to surprise her I can't. She is one of the most Godly women I have ever met and I admire her ability to fully trust in the plan the Lord has for her, because that is something I struggle with. She amazes me daily and I couldn't be more proud of her if I tried. Mal has the ability to find out how to make the most of the time that she spends with people and always makes an effort to stay in contact, which is good because I am pretty bad at it but trying to get better. She is my encourager and I could not be more thankful that I have her as a best friend. The world is lucky she is in it! Lurv you Shriley!
The photos aren't exactly in the right order, but I can't make them fix. 1 photo from every year of our friendship.
I will be back with another one of my wonderful friends to tell you about. Who will it be? You will have to wait to find out. Lots and lots of love!

Blessed Beyond Words
Recently I have been taking a look around my life and realizing how much I really take for granted. My life is so full of joy and I have been blessed far beyond anything I ever could of imagined. I can not get over how much the Lord has given me in just the few years that I have been alive. He has given me an ultra supportive family that no matter how mad they may get at me or how confused I may make them they are always there supporting me. I have always had plenty of food on the table, clothes on my back and a roof over my head. I am one of very few people that got the opportunity to earn my college degree, and my parents made sure that I did it debt free. I wasn't ever told that I couldn't participate in anything because of my health, there instead were special accomodations made if they were needed. I never spent a night alone in the hospital. To this day I still talk to my parents almost every day and treasure our relationship. My family means the world to me and without them I have no idea where I would be.
The Lord has also blessed me with some of the very best friends anyone could ever ask for. Even though we are now all moving all over we still talk regularly. We make an effort to stay involved in each other's lives. I can not imagine what the last 5 years of my life would have been like without the Taleeda girls. They have helped shape me into the woman that I am. They make me want to be better and do better.
I can not put into words how blessed I am, and this little blog is by no means a full description of how thankful I am, because no words could ever do it justice.

Dreamer
Recently I have been thinking about dreams a ton. By recently I mean since about May. As everyone knows I have not always had the best luck with dreams. Whatever I fear most always seems to manifest itself in my dreams while I try to suppress what I don't like to think about during the day it never fails that it pops up in my mind while I am asleep.
Recently I haven't been having dreams every night, when I do they are normally violent and in some way involve me and another person trying to brutally kill the other one. I think this is because I have been reading The Hunger Games (which I highly suggest to everyone). This presented me with a question.... Is my ability to over think every situation staying with me while I am asleep? Is this my mind battling with the options that currently lay at my feet? According to a dream dictionary analysis I am completely wrong. Hmmm.... I guess there is no real way to tell.
I hope now all you will over analyze your dream!
Lots and Lots of Love!
