I am starting something new. Today I had my first movie review published on the Milligan Library blog. I am super excited to be reviewing movies from their collection.

Last night I had this whole big long wonderful blog post written in my mind, complete with pictures. And then, I couldn’t get my computer to recognize my computer card. Seriously annoying.
This weekend I did a lot of work around the house. I organized some things, decorated some, and really just got the house in order. And I’m so happy with it too. I was going to show you the pictures of my new stuff, sadly I can’t today, but hopefully sometime soon I’ll get to share it with you!
I declare this weekend organization weekend (I wish I had a more clever title than that).
I have a desire to be organized and have a cleaning schedule and do all those kinds of things that a good wife should do. I do not know where exactly this desire comes from because it is obviously not coming from my brain, because my brain is definitely not on board with it. I think we have talked about this before, but don’t feel the need to stop me.
Over the years I have tried countless ways to get myself organized. I have tried binders, checklists, reminders that hang on the wall and nothing seems to work.
So this weekend, I am scrapping it all and starting over. I do not have a real plan, I’m just going to see what naturally comes out of it. Who knows, it could be chaos, or it could be genius. I guess we shall see.
And obviously if I were really all that organized and scheduled I wouldn’t keep forgetting about the Thursday-Morning Tell-About.
Cue the trumpets and the glorious fanfare…
I have watched all 84 Oscar Best Picture winners!!
I am so happy and feel so accomplished.
Now what to watch…
Look forward to a more detailed post about my favorites and the ones I struggled to get through soon!
Tonight I watched “The Greatest Show on Earth,” my second to last best picture movie left to watch!
It was really good. It was about the circus.
I only have one more movie left to watch, it is sitting on top of my television. All I need to do is get the time (over 3 hours) to watch it and I will be finished!!
It is bittersweet. I mean, the whole goal has been to watch every movie on the list, but I have enjoyed it so much that I don’t want it to be over.
I guess I’ll just have to make myself a new list. Any suggestions?
Sorry. I have been totally unmotivated to blog the last few days. We had a pretty busy, but good, weekend and I’ve just been feeling crummy. I feel like I feel sick more than I feel well and I just hate that. Tomorrow I’m going to go see an allergist and then next Tuesday I am going to have a regular doctors appointment because I just want to start feeling better.
There’s a lot of things on my to-do list, but I’ve been pretty apathetic about all of them. I bought some strawberries to plant almost two weeks ago and I have not gotten my weeding done to plant them and now I’m afraid they are going to die before I plant them. So I really need to finish my weeding today or tomorrow. There is no food in the house because I haven’t wanted to go to the grocery store. And the house is messy–as always. Hopefully I can get my act together this week.
So again, I’m sorry that it has been quite a few days since I have blogged and I have missed it but I just haven’t felt like I have had anything to talk about. Any ideas?
What?
It’s Thursday morning already?
Where did the week go?!
This is today’s Thursday-Morning Tell-About.
Life has been crazy recently. I have been really busy and running around. I’m super excited to hang out with some best friends tomorrow and my parents are coming in.

And hopefully I will be on the ball next week and get out a real Thursday-Morning Tell-About for you all.
For years and years and years while I was in school it seems like there was always a milestone to look forward to, and you knew when it was going to happen. You know when you are going to move on from every year in school. Milestones are important and it helps you see where you’ve come from and gone.
Graduation from High School. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted. I was young and tan and ready to start college.
This is me, my first week of my freshman year at Anderson University. Do I look different? My freshman year of college was a big one for me. I made all new, amazing, friends. Did all kinds of things I had never done before, played every intermural, dyed my hair, pierced my nose, stayed out way too late, and loved every minute of it. And still miss it sometimes, but it just got better from there.
My sophomore year, I transferred to Milligan College. While Adam will tell you it is because we started dating and I transferred for him, that is really not the case. It was really a God thing. I decided I was transferring two weeks before school started, and everything worked out, which is how I knew it was a God thing. Gosh, we look so young here!
We came back to our junior year at college engaged. It was a very fun, yet stressful year at school. With being engaged, there were a whole lot more milestones to look forward to like showers, dress shopping, registering, planning, and tons of other things. There was a lot to look forward to.
And then we got married! And went on our honeymoon!
And then we came back to campus to finish up our senior year. Let’s compare, shall we:
Freshman vs. Senior. Big difference?
And then we graduated and moved across the street to the Emmanuel Village.
And now what?
There are no actually set date milestones to look forward to, except birthdays and anniversaries and we are a while away from any big ones. Let me just say, my life now, without set milestones, is weird. And hard. It is hard to just keep going without a milestone to focus on getting to. It makes it harder for me to see where I am going. I am happy with where we are and am trying to be content and not wish it away, but I want to know where we are going and when we are going to get there!
Any of you post-school people feel like this?
