Blogging hiatus/ Meet Hannah!

Hey friends,

As you may have noticed, I'm on a little blogging hiatus here. I'll be back next week, but right now I'm currently smack dab in the middle of a flute seminar learning LOADS and being incredibly inspired.

I'll be back next week, but in the meantime, meet Hannah!

Hannah is an incredibly sweet and bubbly, God fearing young woman that writes an inspiring and uplifting blog- I'm excited that she is honoring me with a guest post while I'm so so busy!! Make sure you stop by to say hello, and let her know that I sent you!

So without further ado.....

Hi PB and Honey readers!

I'm Hannah, and you can find me over at Wonderfully Sewn. I'm so excited to guest post here on Paige's blog, and I'm super happy I get to 'meet' you all!

I am a native Texan who thinks she belongs in Seattle.

But besides that, you should probably know that the most important thing to me is my Jesus and my relationship with Him. And I love Him tons, so I knew I had to bring Him onto my blog! On Wonderfully Sewn, you'll probably see some posts with tips for Christian living. Just because looking at Christianity as if it's some rigid set of rules to follow isn't the way to go about it. Christianity is simply the way you choose to live your life. 

Along with my Christian walk, I love to encourage and make my readers smile. Oh, and I absolutely love those moments, when someone will read a post and say, "Really? I thought I was the only one! I'm totally on the same page!"

But when I'm not poking at these little letters on my keyboard... I'm attending school, reading, obsessing over Instagram, putting outfits together, wishing I had a tattoo, or laughing.

So if you don't mind some Jesusness, quirky humor, sparse fashion posts, and having a big ol' smile, Wonderfully Sewn is the place for you!

Summer Goals- do you have them?

Hi friends!!

Remember when summer was for trips to Disney World, playing with the neighbor kids all day, and swimming 25 times a week?

Sigh. 

Then we unfortunately grew up quite a bit.

This summer I'm in Waco, pretty much by myself, and I've got to keep busy and save money!!! So I made a goal list for this summer and I'm going to announce it to the whole wide world that reads my blog to keep me accountable.

1) No shopping.

WAAAAH. The no shopping rule includes clothes, accessories, blah blah blah blah, and pretty much anything except the essentials. Like food. And stamps/envelopes.

2) Speaking of food: Healthy food!!!

I plan on eating like a freakin rabbit this summer. (except for the occasional Chuy's date with Sarah, of course)

example of my healthy health lunch....and dinner since I had the same thing

3) Write the boy daily.

I know that may seem like a silly goal, and of course I won't be actually mailing off letters every day, but I feel like its important to let him know that I'm thinking about him and that I support him!!

4) Run. Run run run.

I do not like running....to start with. And I pretty much always feel like I'm just starting because I never keep it up!! Also, to support Drew who I know is busting his behind all day every day at bootcamp, I want to run at least a mile for every day that he's gone- before he gets back! So thats 70 miles total, and I already have quite a bit of catching up to do ;) Wish me luck!

5) Practice the flute at least 3 hours a day.

No brainer.

Practiced 3 hours today- good start!

6) Keep up my studies.

I'm pretty good at getting sucked into a new series on Netflix or reading Harry Potter for the 25th time (25 is my number of the day, apparently!). But I thrifted this pretty awesome old book with a bunch of opera/symphony composers and opera summaries so I've decided to read up on a new composer or opera each day! It'll be fun/good for me.

What about you? Do you have summer goals? Or are you just missing the good ol days...

Linking up with Lisette from Northen Belle Diaries.

Made it!

Made it back to Waco....

Somehow I managed to unpack and sort through the entire contents of my life in Waco while I was at home last week.....which of course ended in LOTS of trash and LOTS of donations. 

It felt good to clear through paperwork, books, clothes, and household supplies to simplify and just cut the junk to be able to start fresh this summer. You know what I mean?

Made it back to class...

So now I'm back in Waco and have started my final class of my masters degree today!

The final class of my master degree. Holy cow.

There are some crazy weeks ahead of me in June! Next week Baylor is hosting a MEGA flute seminar for the week. Its going to be amazing. I probably won't blog at all. I'm going to be soaking up every bit of information that I can possibly fit into my brain from my teacher, Dr. Arnone, along with some of the other masterminds of our craft. Excited!

THEN, the next two weeks I get to teach at High/Middle school band and orchestra camps. Teaching little fluties :) Also exciting!

Made it a week and a day...

Its been an entire week and a day since I dropped Drew off for BCT. I promise that I won't be a whiny baby until he graduates in August (and then October-March...uh oh!) but I just wanted you all, my friends and supporters, to know that I've made it thus far without having a break down....and actually with out crying at all (who AM I?!) tehe 

Success, right?

I think the hard part is the feeling of disconnect. People ask me how hes doing, and right now I don't know. I imagine that he is probably in pain from being sore, and tired, and probably hungry too...and thats hard for me to imagine. BUT I know he is doing a great job and I know that the Lord is with him. 

Also, we finally got his address today!! Makes me feel SO much better to know that he can hear from his family and friends now. (And its a huge sigh of relief that I can send all these letters that I've been writing....all at once. Tehe again.)

But seriously, you guys have been a great support system already so thank you!!! Don't forget to check out my facebook page!

Blessings on your week :)

Texas is beautiful in the early summer, no?
