hey there!

Hellooooooo people's!  It's meeeeee again.  Just staying sane, or not, over here, and loving all the craziness.  Can I say it, again?  Life has been crazy busy. I know, I say that every time.  I swear, (ok, no, I don't swear) it really is busy-er every time though!  Between work, school, home and farm life, and, ahem, social activities, life is full to the brim and running over.  :D  Occasionally, I will melt down and cry over nothing, and send my poor friends foot-long texts of venting, but most of the time, I've been thriving on the craziness.  :)  Here's some random ramblings to let ya'll know what's been goin on!

I get up at 4am every day, and make my cup of liquid happiness.  Then I do my chores around the house, have devos, go for a run, murder myself in the form of crunches and push-ups, do devotions with the family, run my dogs, do farm chores, and then leave for work or studying around 8am.  Studying has been going awesome - I'm currently studying for my first CLEP exam...sociology!  So far, so good. I haven't died yet or anything!  Actually, I've really been enjoying CollegePlus!  I have had a couple calls with my coach, Hannah, and I absolutely love her.  We have a lot in common, and I know she's gonna be perfect for me!  It's super nice to have a coach to keep me accountable - we set goals, made action steps, etc...really helpful!  I'm so excited! 

Studying at Dunn Bros ^^

Anyone else loving the weather!?!?!??!  It's capri and tank top and flip flop weather!  Errr, something like that.  :P  

Last night there was an incredible sunset!!  There had been a bunch of rain, and then the sun came out as it was setting, and there was a rainbow.  I was heading out to the barn to bottle feed a lamb, and I saw the sunset and was like, I gotta watch this!  So I went and climbed up into one of my favorite trees to take in all the lovely-ness.  Well, ok....so it was all picturesque and everything....I climbed up the tree, settled onto my favorite branch, rested my feet on the small branch below that and... ummm...yeah.   It may or may not have just kind of crumbled.  I may or may not have I lost my balance.  And I may or may not have fallen out of the tree.  Extremely.  Ungracefully.  I was pretty sure I broke my nose, and my wrist, and my ankle.  I laid there on the ground for a little while, wondered if I needed an ambulance, but realized I didn't have a phone or anything, so I decided I was fine, got up, and tried again.  I was a little more careful this time, and didn't go on anymore, ummm, unexpected flying adventures.  Actually it was beautiful....I probably sat up there for a half hour, talked to God, cried a little, watched the sun go down, and just basked in it all.  Those lovely moments, aside from the retarded times of falling out of trees, are....so beautiful.

Got to take this wonderful guy on a date last week.  I seriously have the best lil' brother in the world, folks.  Whoever gets this guy is gonna be one lucky lady.  <3

I recently re-discovered hot curlers, or whatever they are even called.  They have changed my life!!!  OK, not really.  But I love to curl my hair, but it takes forever because I have so much hair, so taking five minutes to roll up my hair in curlers, then get stuff done while they magically curl...it's so wonderful.  Let's just not talk about what I look like mid-process though, ok?

Yes, I have a new obsession with Snapchat, in case you were wondering.  :P

Yup, just drinking more coffee.

Speaking of coffee, my job!  Ahhhh I love my job!  It's been so fun!  Getting to meet super neat people, forming friendships with co-workers, and generally, getting to make people's days a little better with liquid happiness.  Seriously, groups of little ol' ladies are my favorite.  Try saying "how are you lovely ladies today?" when they walk in the door....their responses. #adorable

Went on a lovely run with a couple dogs one evening....it was absolutely gorgeous out!!  So fun!  

....well, most of it was fun.  Let's just say, running a couple Pyrs can get....interesting, and painful, sometimes.  :P

THIS was TWO DAYS after the pictures above!  Like it was 70 degrees the one day, and then THIS.  Really, MN, really????

Yup, this was definitely a random post.  And I've probably never posted this many selfies. But like I said, I have a new obsession with snapchat, so this is watcha get.  Sometime I will sit down and right a post about all the things I've been learning...reading some good books, listening to good sermons, and God has been teaching me so much!  It all feels like an adventure, it's crazy exciting, and I'm blessed.  <3

Alright, I'm off.  One of my co-workers and I joined a Refit class and so I'm gonna go kill myself in the form of dancing.  It's a super fun class, all to worship music!

  Talk to you all later!  ("You all" meaning, all the non-exsisting people who I imagine read my pathetic blog).
