"Bring on the rain"

Well it has been quite some time since I have posted anything. November is a busy month for me, and my favorite time of year! It has been raining all day so I decided to call it a night and be lazy. Have not done this in awhile ha. So YAY I have time to blog!


November kicks off with Chad’s birthday. We got together with a few friends and went to The Fillin’ Station. When we got back to my apartment we had cupcakes from a bakery in town called Ann Olivia’s Sweet Shop a.k.a DELICIOUS.

Lately God has been clearing some things up for me and I am so happy that He has blessed me with such awesome people. He has given me just what I need to stay encouraged, and keep trying to become a better person. I am so grateful for my AWESOME friends! I can see him using me even through my work. I just happen to get the walk in’s with amazing stories and these stories just happen to come up while I’m cutting their hair. It gives me the chills to see Him placing these things in my path to slowly show me the things He wants me to know. He has a plan for me and I pray that I can continue to see it! (Victoria and Cody being nerdy! I love it)

My FAVORITE band came to Memphis. Needtobreath! They are a Christian band and I love their sound. I was able to be right in front! AHH I still can’t believe I got to see them. The concert was unforgettable.
On to Thanksgiving! (The best food holiday EVER… and let me tell ya, I’M THANKFUL) J My family had a lot going on this Thanksgiving, several sick family members and my grandmother had surgery on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. So needless to say we didn’t really have a plan for the holiday. I was so excited when Chad told me his family was getting together for lunch because his parents take southern cooking to the extreme. I hope I can pick up their cooking skills one day. I had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving and I am so lucky to have my friends and family.

I am ready for Christmas now, most of my shopping is done and my decorations are

up! This is my first year to have my own place and I had been waiting to get my first tree. I’m not really sure why I was so excited about that but I was. HAHA I have my apartment all decorated now with my cute tree and my snow village. My grandmother has gotten me a piece of the Dept.56 Snow Village for Christmas since I was old enough to appreciate them. I didn’t set them all out this year, but I’m very proud of my little village. J
(My wreath I made!)

Well I think that wraps it up! Hope everyone has a good week. Here is the song I’ve been singing all day. (If you know me well, you know that I can take anything someone says and turn it into a song. I’m sure it can be aggravating but I consider it a talent!! ;D )

New York Day 5

Day 5 began bright and early. With bags under our eyes we were off to the subway. We went to the Today Show and little did we know it was a concert day. Big Time Rush was performing and there were tons of young girls screaming! We got to see Matt Lauer, Amy Robach, and Ann Curry.
After that we just hit some shops (huge Forever 21 and H&M) Yippee!
We all had a great time in New York. I hope I will be able to go back one day.-Kayla
