My Most Favorite Things

Hey y'all! It has been quite sometime since I've put my fingers to keyboard, so I thought that I'd do just that tonight! My brothers just went to bed, I have the Wicked soundtrack playing in the background (because I'm a showtunes junky), and the house is pleasantly quiet!

I know that sometimes the blog can be pretty serious, and while I do love getting deep and really digging in with you, I thought that tonight I would just have a little bit of fun! So tonight... I'm listing some of my most favorite things! People, food, songs, etc...there is no limit to the things that I consider my favorites!

So, in no particular order... here we go!


1) Chocolate chip cookies! I love baking them for my friends and family...I feel like they are the epitome of love and warmth and pure, wholesome joy. My favorite recipe at the moment!

2) Really cheesy, Christian, romantic novels. These are a total guilty pleasure for me. I know how every book will go, but somehow they suck me in every. single. time! Currently, I'm indulging in The Unexpected Bride by Debra Ullrick, and you know what? I just can't put it down, guys. I'm hooked.

3) My youth group! Boy, I get so unbelievably excited to hang out with these people every week. They are probably some of my most favorite teenagers! They have such passionate hearts for Christ and they are the best worshippers I have ever seen.

4) Bethel music. Enough said. If you are not currently listening to any of their songs... go! Click off of this page and go spend some time well-spent in worship with them!

5) My girls. I have gone on and on about these precious gems in a previous post, so I'll keep this brief. They are the bomb. They are the funniest, kindest, most passionate group of girls I know. I want to be like them when I grow up.


6) Obviously...mi familia! Oh man! These people...I think I'll keep them :) they are supportive, hilarious, and so so so much fun to hang with! Most of the time, I'd rather be with them than any other group of people!

 

 

7) The new Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy nail polish! I love getting the shellac on my nails, but it is pretty destructive to my nails and it is EXPENSIVE! I love this stuff because it's relatively cheap, and it stays on for a while! Plus, it's easy to take off without killing my nails!

8) My big spirit jersey that I received from my high school for being a senior. Boom. Perks. It's huge and unflattering and insanely comfy. In fact, I am wearing it as I type this, and I love it.

9) I went back and forth about this one... only because I didn't want to super embarrass my buddy here... hehe! But I decided to take Nike's advice and "Just do It." So, this is Amie. I allude to her quite a bit in most of my blog posts. And if I say one thing, its this: Amie is not just my youth leader... she's my mentor and my buddy and my big sister. She is one of my most favorite adults, and I just thought that that HAD to be shared.

10) I think I'll round it out with this one. I love this precious nugget. I've had the privilege to be apart of her sweet little life since she was 4 weeks old, and I have LOVED watching her grow into a beautiful, spunky, insanely smart two-year old! And her parents are super awesome, too!
