So long, farewell Freed-Hardeman!!!

As most of you already know, on Saturday May 16, 2009 at 10:00 a.m., I received my college degree. I have a B.A. in Communications. I really never thought that this day would come. I fought a long, hard battle. I know that stress was at a constant high around my house and at Rachel's, But I have finished and now I am on to bigger and better things! I am currently looking for a job so that when the bills start coming I can pay them. If any body knows some place hiring let me know! (and NO Rachel, I am NOT working at Hill's, unless no other place will hire me!)It stills seems unreal to me. I don't think that it will hit me until all of my friends start packing up to go back to school and I am staying home. I am ok with it though. I never was a school kind of person. I would rather work than write a research paper or take a test. I am nervous because people keep telling me "Welcome to the real world!" and that is scaring me, But I know it will be ok! I hope that everyone has a nice rest of the week!!!

I love Yard Sales!!!

The statement I made above is VERY true! When I was younger I would go and stay with Grandma and Grandpa Powers and Aunt Avo for a week or two during the summer.I would love when Aunt Avo, Grandma and I would go to yard sales!Especially when we would go to the rich neighborhoods! This weekend while I was in Alabama, Rachel and I made plans to go "yard saleing"! I kind of forgot how much I enjoy it. Rachel and I have this "super power" We see something and we don't see it but we see the possibilities and potential that it has. Anyway! We got up and even though it was raining, we trekked on! We found some amazing deals and I got some stuff for my future place. I got an end table and coffee table for $20, 2 pillows I am going to cover for $1, a lamp for $4, a serving bowl and large casserole dish for $2 a piece and High School Musical for $5(that was my favorite find of the day!!! : ) Also I got some place mats and some other stuff. I like going to yard sales because I don't exactly like that "new" look. I don't want my place to look like it came out of a magazine. I want it to look nice but also to look lived in. Plus you can get really neat stuff from different eras. Also I like getting stuff for cheap (that's why I like Goodwill so much!)
All in all we had a great weekend!!! I got to relax and eat great food and hang out with my best friend/sister!
Also shout out to BenG! He filled up my car! This morning I was dreading having to stop and get gas and when I got in my car I looked to see how close I was to empty and instead of being close to E it was on F!!! SO thanks to my favorite brother-in-law!!!
Well I guess that is about it.
