The Fourth of March

March 4th, 2014:

Hello readers! How are you all? Hopefully you are better than I am. As I am writing this post I am suffering from a horrible stomach ache due to the fact that I ate Mcalister's for dinner. I knew when I made the decision to eat there tonight that Mcalister's chronically makes me sick. Just this time it was a lot worse than all the others. It kind of makes me feel like this...

On a brighter note things in life have been sweet. Between the lazy snow days & going shopping with Grandma things are awesome.

My dear Nana's birthday was on the 27th of February so naturally we documented dinner with the family at Malone's.

Love my Nana

My Padre!

My Madre!

Emma was feeling ill and did not want to be photographed. 

Also this week the Boy's basketball team has been competing in districts. The section theme was neon so most appropriately I purchased a neon headband from the children's section of Target. I cannot seem to find the headband on their website. Bailey's is also from Target.

Love my sweet friends!!

On the way to the game I saw this sweet car. Not everyday that you are driving behind a Maserati. 

Saturday night I had the opportunity to indulge in a really delicious dinner at Merrick Inn with Kendrick and his family for his Mother's birthday!

Hello friends! As you may or may not know we have been having lots of snow in this part of the nation. I am trying to make the most of it. Its getting harder seeing pictures of our future vacation spot. Also, I have been reminiscing on summer and how tan I was yet again. Not hard to do when you're stuck in a 12 degree climate. Its crazy to think that Tuesday it was sunny, 70, and I wore shorts. I would say this is what you call "typical Kentucky weather".

Today Bailey, Bailey and myself decided to go sledding with the boys up at the school but in our spare time we built our very first snowman ever!

[berry eyes, twizler mouth, Hersey kiss buttons, carrot nose, & steelers hat]

 

How cute is that? Its not very big but we love it!

 

 

If you know me personally you know that I'm not the biggest fan of cold weather/ snow but I toughed up today. Threw on 3 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of socks, long sleeve t-shirt, hoodie, Patagonia, and a huge jacket all equipped with some borrowed snow boots and a north face hat and I was ready to be brave and try and enjoy myself.

I also provided a photo that I snapped during the time I spent with Emmie on Thursday! No edits to it I swear ;)

Last night before hanging out with B&B, the fam went out to finally celebrate Dad's birthday but no pictures were taken on this occasion except one and this picture can describe how everyone was feeling based on the amount of waiting we had to do at Longhorns.

Other than hanging out with Kendrick today, tonight has been pretty relaxed. I'm on my second cup of coffee (iced of course) while catching up with some friends that I haven't seen or talked to in months. Ive accomplished completing all of my homework so that I can enjoy the YL Superbowl party tomorrow! I'm sure you cant wait to see that!

My first blog post!

After a few months of debating over the topic of getting into the blog world and some days spent reading some of my favorites I have decided that I should start my own. I mean, why not? Today's day and age is all about opinions and social media.

I guess I should start with an introduction. My name is Alex and I am currently a student. I am obsessed with all things preppy and monogrammed. I like Reese Witherspoon not only for her outstanding performance in my all time favorite movie, Legally Blonde, but because of her semi-famous quote, "My sheets are monogrammed, so is my silverware and pretty much everything else I own. My rule is, if it's not moving, monogram it." I believe this to be true. Also, my identifier to a lot of people is the known fact that I have a passionate and undeniable love for almost all cats.

[see my sweet girls pictured above]

I'm a follower of Jesus and I love my YoungLife group more than they will ever know! Last summer we traveled to Asheville, North Carolina to YoungLife's Windy Gap! I learned more about Gods love for me and myself than I ever had. I'm beyond blessed for the amazing leaders and fellow classmates that pour into me! I cannot wait for this summer and the fact we get to travel to Rockbridge! I may or may not have started counting down the days.

[me and my best friends;
L-R Bailey, Taylor, Bailey, and then myself]

Another part of my life is my awesome familia! We may drive each other nuts but I don't know what I would do without them! I know I know before you even look at the picture and think it. I look just like my mom. I act just like her, too!

I also have an amazing boyfriend, Kendrick, of over 3 months! He asked me out on my birthday! Isn't that the cutest thing ever? We go to separate schools and somehow he and my friends planned it so that his mom would take him out of school early and then he would sneak in at dismissal and surprise me with roses!!!! I was shocked! I'm so lucky for such a sweet guy to be in my life!

[us on New Year's Eve at my friend Maddie's party! Not the best picture of me because I was sick with strep throat at the time]

He probably will kill me for writing about him on here but oh well! It's nothing negative!

Anyways, now that I have introduced myself in my next post I'll start telling all the interesting things I run across in my daily life! Hope you enjoyed.

Xoxo, God Bless
