Girls Night

As most of the people reading my blog know, three of my best friends live in the Dallas area so when I moved up here I was so excited to be able to see them more often! We decided to plan a girls night every four months and last night was the first one. They came over to my place and I cooked. If you had told me just a few months ago that I would be living in Dallas and having Britni, Carrie, and Heather over for dinner at my place I would have thought you were crazy! I just keep thinking this is all a dream and I am going to wake up soon! I still can't believe I live in The Colony, five minutes from Carrie, and it still feels so surreal. I still wake up some morning and it hits me that I really do live here :)

It is amazing how we think we know what is in our future and we have NO idea!! The "suddenlys" of God are amazing! When He is ready to move you better just hold on! I went through a long season where nothing seemed to change and I felt like I was in that movie, "Ground Hog Day." So, I know how hard it is when you want something to change so bad and you are not even sure what but you just need something to change. We all have seasons like that but let me encourage you that you never know what tomorrow holds. You could get one phone call that completely changes everything! Being in God's will and letting Him lead you is so exciting because you never know what He has in store next. That should encourage us in those times where we don't feel like we can take another day of where we are at right now.

I just had to share what was on my heart about that and I truly believe it is for someone reading this blog right now! Be encouraged!!

We had such a great time catching up! We decided that every time we get together we talk about things and say we will pray for each other and we decided why not pray now. So, before they left we got together and prayed for each other right there and we decided we would do that at the end of every girls night from now on. I love these girls so much and am so thankful for their friendship in my life!

There have been a few changes I made around my apartment and I told my mom I would post pictures on my blog....

I started to decorate above my cabinets and I found this bird cage at Ross and this plate at Kirklands...it has the scripture John 3:16 written on it. I am going to Canton with Britni and her mom in two weeks and I hope to find some more stuff to put up there!

I wanted something for this corner and found this vase at Target and the branches at Marshalls. 

I never really liked the color of my curtains in the living room. They had a yellow tint to them and they just weren't the color I really wanted. So, I took them back and bought some new ones and I am much happier with how it looks.

I love the color of my new curtains and think it adds some more color to the room since most of the colors are beige and brown. Plus it matches the green color in my floor rug perfectly.
