False freckles.

You should click here and like this page on Facebook if you want to be updated when I write a new post... pretty soon, I will only put the links there and not on my personal page - so you won't see them unless you're a "fan". So do it. Now.

WARNING: This is a disjointed post.

- Ash and I are in the process of getting internet for our house. And by our house, I mean my grandpa's house. It's really hard to live without internet, especially for me seeing as I blog, NaNo, and Skype on a regular basis. How was anyone able to live without access to the world through a screen in the comfort of their own home? Ludicrous.

- It's inevitable; when in a semi-full movie theater someone is bound to drop their cell phone at a moment of absolute silence. The cell phone's owner will do one, if not all, of three things: 1. Gasp 2. Sit up quickly and frantically search as if their life depended on it 3. Whisper very loudly to the others in their group. It's always the same. Oh, the things that make me chuckle.

- The spray tan I got for the wedding is coming off in splotchy patches, leaving behind (on my arms) the freckle-like pattern of a pale ginger. #whitegirlproblems

- A few days ago, I sort of had a meltdown. And while I deem this as an extremely private matter, I find myself wanting to share it with you because of two of my friends.

It happened Sunday, after the last of our out of town guests left for home. I was playing volleyball with friends and like always, we went for food/drinks afterwards. I sort of felt like weight was being added to my chest and it was getting really hard to focus in on the conversations around me. Bubba, my ever caring best friend, could of course tell something was wrong. (If anything, he has learned to read me pretty well.) So after the group parted ways, he insisted - against my inclination that I was fine - that I talk to him about it. I couldn't really get the words out that I wanted to say without crying, so I just cried a little while he consoled me. He was very understanding, gave me a much needed hug, and tried to make me feel better - it was sweet. What a great friend I have been blessed with.

The tears started pouring as I drove home and it was turned out to be a really rough night for me, as I couldn't exactly pinpoint why this was happening. The next morning, I tweeted that it had been a rough night. Blakeley, my life-long amazing best friend, saw it and texted me right away to see what was going on. She gave me some sage advice and even a little homework (a couple of books to read). I'll tell you what, everything she said was spot on. She knows me all too well. :) Later, we got to Skype and just seeing her face makes me feel 100 times better. I wish I had her near me always.

I am so thankful for the people God has placed in my life. It's like He knew what He was doing or something. ;)
