unanswered prayers.

Just the other night at a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

And as she walked away I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

-Garth Brooks "Unanswered Prayers"

I'm not even religious but i think this is an amazing song. Things will work out for the best. No matter what happens, even if you think it's the worst thing in the world, things WILL work out, and you'll be happy.<3

Baking?

So, while I was "stumbling" I came across this recipe for cookie/brownies from Betty Crocker/Bakerella.

and I fell in love. I had to try them. So, as I type they are baking in the oven.

I actually am cooking! Those that know me know I don't cook/bake/whatever. I make mac & cheese and cold cereal. BUT I am trying to turn over a new leaf. I have been cooking more! I want to eat cheaper and I want to eat healthier. I've learned how to scramble eggs and make breakfast burritos. I make pasta with chicken and veggies in it. I am just growing up, and kinda loving it.

I have 9 more mins left till I have to check on my cookie/brownies, so I'm watching "The Insider" with Rachel for Journalism Ethics. So far, it's not that interesting. Oh well, I'm being responsible with school work. Yay?

so happy today.

I can finally relax. I can finally breathe. I have nothing due tomorrow. Yes, that's a small victory, but it's what I'm excited for. I finally have time to "stumble," and here's a few fun things I've found!

rewards.

I have a busy February & March.
Midterms, papers, presentations, birthdays, events, debates, finals...
In fact, right now I should be studying for a midterm.
But I want to focus on the good...

I get a 5-day weekend this weekend!
I get to go on a cruise the last weekend in February with my mom and sister!
I get to go to Florida for Spring Break!

Life is good.
As good as it's gonna get with school pressure, job pressure, internship pressure, life pressure.
But bright side... gotta think on the bright side.
