SOMEDAY I WILL...
As I sat waiting for my french class today, I wandered over to a favorite blog. I was completely inspired to participate in the "Someday I Will...." this is by far my favorite link up I have ever seen so far and so fitting to be my first link up I participate in.
- Make a smile come across my mother and father's face as I can finally say I am a college graduate. It may be many years down the road, but it will happen and I will make them so proud.
- Be someones best friend, support system, and loving wife, Lord willing.
- I will be in a mainstage production of the very college that sparked my curiosity of theatre as a little girl.
- Audition for Papermill Playhouse, one of my main goals.
- Have that special someone I can sing out to my favorite showtunes with and there is no judgment at all.
- Actually sit down and write the play I have had in my mind since freshman year of college.
- Get better at this whole blogging thing, so many thoughts I can never process into words...
- Be someone you can look up to, someone who shines the Lord in all she does.
- Be the kind of person kids can come to about anything and I can give them wise advice while loving who they are as a person. I can think of the emotional rocks I had in my life, and I hope to return the favor one day.
The list could go on and on but I won't do that, I probably have already bored you. :)
Well, What will you do someday?

SUNDAY FAVORITES
These are a few of my favorite things....
I know it has been a completely long time since I last did a sunday favorites post! And I am terribly sorry for that!
For this week music was a great highlight to this week. No matter what is going on in my life there is always a song to bring out the joy in a mundane day. Now excuse me as a lot of my tastes come back to theatre, and showtunes are kind of my weakness....
1. Time Stops, Big Fish.
While on search for shows to see over SPRING BREAK. (I can NOT wait to be back in NYC) I found this song and completely fell in love. I love the idea that you can notice someone and it is like your whole life has changed, and that is the beginning of a life long story.
2. When I Was Your Man (Cover), Aaron Tveit
Cue all the fangirling, yeah I found this kind of by accident and immediately homework didn't seem so bad. It for me personally trumps Bruno Mars.
3. Come Fly With Me, Frank Sinatra
So my roomate wakes up to this song every morning and I have to be completely honest... I LOVE IT. Frank Sinatra was a huge part of my life growing up, as a kid I would fall asleep to my Dad playing Frank's biggest hits throughout the house. And since we're living in their house and it feels odd not seeing my family as much but living in the house I grew up in, it's nice to have that little reminder.
4. Ten Minutes Ago, Cinderella
Cinderella is honestly a huge part of my life, and I am not even exaggerating. I still cry whenever it is just me listening to the soundtrack, my poor friend Stacey came into town and she put me in charge of music. It usually consisted of me getting teary eyed as we listened to the orchestra numbers as soon as it got dark. There is something purely magical about the storyline and the music itself. I wake up to Ten Minutes Ago, so this is in honor of every new day God gives me to make a difference. For each day he sends blessings, and hopefully can use me to bless others.
5. Something To Believe In, Newsies
I am going to be honest there is one line in here, well two actually that make me listen to this over and over again. Don't get me wrong I love the whole entire song and when I first heard it my immediate reaction was to tell a friend about it. But there is just something about the lines: "And if you're gone tomorrow, what was ours still will be." "If things we're different. What? If you weren't going to Santa Fe..." I don't know, it just makes you feel for them you know. They're powerful lyrics. I also have been listening to this song at least once a day since last sunday haha.
As you can guess I could sit here forever and add songs upon songs. I will stop here though haha before I go crazy and bore everyone with millions of showtunes. But these are the top five right now that have helped me get through my week or are just an average, great part of it.
6. BONUS: Fly, Fly Away
Okay, this is one of my all time favorite songs. I am even in the process of currently trying to learn it so I can go around singing it properly everywhere I go. (Instead of belting it out when no one is at home.) Absolutely LOVE this song!
Have a great week lovelies. xoxo

FALL IS FINALLY HERE
I can't believe it is finally fall and it is finally starting to feel like it. Bring out the pumpkin everything, the shining candles, good friends, and fall memories. And my absolute favorite... dressing up! How blessed are we!?
 |
| Today absolutely stinks. It consists of me and a ton of homework and catching up... and not in sleep like how I wanted. The only thing getting me through this is the Spiced Pumpkin candle... and some Aaron Tveit in graceland.... |
 |
| This morning I finally tried to put a center piece on the our table. Also, my absolute favorite mug... I literally flipped out and almost ran around my campus bookstore cheering when I found it. |
 |
| First Halloween party of the season: Kermit the frog, Miss Piggy, and their precious child. :) |
 |
| I came home to this ADORABLE laptop sticker, if you know me well you know that I absolutely love Peter Pan and Wendy. My mother is the sweetest for sending me this, also I feel the need to use my laptop at any moment I can. So that will sky rocket my blogging for sure. |
 |
| I can't get enough of the beauty God's creation is. |

Thoughts.
As I sit in the cold house contemplating making coffee and bringing out the comfy sweatshirt... I can't help but think of blessings and the beauty that is the fall. It is pretty much the only thing keeping me going as I sit in this dark house waiting for the roomies, belting out Beauty and The Beast, while doing homework that consists of writing about Coach, Inc for a stock market project and learning the word to family members in french. Ahh homework, gotta love it.
