So while Damen went and played last week in Washington DC, I worked and worked and worked. I know I am so blessed to be able to afford living comfortably for a college student, but I do work my butt off for it.
SO while I wasn't working....
I went to Crawford to see my grandma and family! I taught my little cousin to parallel park in a field in between two of the family's cars. That was fun and definitely a first for me. I had some chocolate gravy and biscuits that grandma made and boy was my stomach happy. It was a much needed day off!
AND I found this awesome photo of daddy, taken by the White House's official photographer. How cool is that?
I got to spend some much needed time with my favorite girls Hailey and Emily. We spent quality time together at Sclub7, went a movie, and dare I say it: WENT TO ATLANTA.
It was a beautiful day. I had the day off, we all left on time at 7 am, stopped to get our favorite pick me up Starbucks..this day was starting off good.
With a little stop to view the mountains and get CRAZY, we were off and made it to ATL by lunch. We stopped at a little place called Six Feet Under..it's got good food for good college prices AND did I mention a great view?
After that, we went to IKEA. If I haven't mentioned before, I'm going to school for Housing and Design (i.e. interior design) and I had never been to IKEA, so my roomies knew I was in for a treat. We walked in and I just fell in love in moments. This place has got it all..anything you've ever seen in Pottery Barn, Pinterest, you name it. ONLY IT'S AFFORDABLE. I cannot stress how happy this made me. We were a happy bunch. Watch this video and see what I mean:
Being that I live in a tiny apartment, I didn't buy much but for $33 dollars I got two old school milk jars to put flowers in, a candle, lint roller, five packages of 10 pack AA batteries, and a utensil holder. Good deals people.
We continued the day with lots of God's favor as everything kept falling into place way too easily. We went shopping for a couple hours, got the yummiest ice cream I've ever had, and then decided to head to Chattanooga for dinner. SO FUN Y'ALL.
I feel so blessed to have these girls as a family.
On Sunday, I got the day off too! Which never happens. A whole weekend to do as I please? I ran some errands and went grocery shopping. I got these pretty little sunflowers to go in my new jars and I just love looking at them every morning before I leave for the day. My little piece of sunshine.
Speaking of sunshine, Justin Timberlake's new cd came out on Tuesday! Talk about a happy happy occasion. If you haven't listened to it yet, here are my recommendations: Pusher Love Girl, That Girl, Mirrors, and Dress On. Those are the best. AND THE BEST NEWS: There's ten more songs coming out, straight from JT. Crossing my fingers I get to see my boy in concert this summer!!
He's beautiful.
So school is back in and while I'm super sad about that, my boyfriend is home. And I could not be more excited about that.
Sorry for the long post BUT I hope that your spring break was just as fun as mine.
Til we meet again..
Katie
