I Like New Things.

I almost don't want to write this, so I won't jinx myself, but I'm so excited! I'm feeling really great! I do think I need to keep "upping" my dosage on my medicine still, but I feel like I'm heading in the right direction! The headaches were kind of rough the first few days, but I'm doing much better now!

In other NEWs, I have some exciting things to report!
I started the "Professor Grant Horner's Bible Reading System" and I'm very excited about it! It's basically a way to read the entire Bible, but it's really interesting. It was recommended to me by a friend, who heard of it from a friend, and so on... Basically, you read 10 chapters of the Bible a day. You get a little bit of law, poetry, action, drama, etc. It's AWESOME! I'm a fan. I'm on day 3! I'm very excited to see how God uses it in my life! Here's the link!

In each "category," you read one chapter a day. When you finish the book, move on to the next one!
ex: When you finish Matthew, move on to Mark. When you finish John, Start Matthew again. And you'll finish certain categories before you're even 1/2 way through another, but that's the beauty of it! It interweaves the Bible so amazingly that your jaw will be on the floor. Prepare to be amazed, my friends.

Next, I applied for a job! Just at the bookstore on campus, but still! I'm excited! I hope I get it :) Just as a time killer/spending money adder.

I also registered for classes and holy moly, it's gonna be rough. 18 hours total this semester. Please, bring me my coffin. To top it all off, one of the smartest girls I know told me 2 of the classes I'm taking are "really hard." I'm not sure I want to know what "really hard" means in her dictionary. Guess I'll find out! Ok, ok. I guess I'll kill the drama a little...I mean, 6 of those hours are mini terms, so technically I'm only taking 12 hours during the regular semester, but it's still going to be challenging!
And get this - I found a way to be able to graduate in May of 2013! I took a semester off and I'm still graduating "on time." Skillz. I'll be killing myself until then, but skillz, nevertheless.

I made my first spinach smoothie today as well! I was hoping it'd be all pretty and bright green, but it was kind of an icky brown color. I had to avoid thoughts of baby poop...yeahhh...
 BUT I found this awesome recipe website in my quest for the best green smoothie! Foodie find of the century! It's like pinterest, but better. Yes. I said it. Pinterest...but BETTER. Why better, you ask? Because when you search for something, it doesn't pull up the same thing 427 times! It's amazing, I tell you! Here it is! http://foodgawker.com Ohhhh, baby. I'm gonna have fun with that site!

Any thoughts on new things?

Crazy Love

I think I promised a really, really long time ago to tell the full story of how Randy & I met and got together. It really is a crazy story, and it definitely shows The Lord's hand in bringing us together from a very early time. Since it's Valentine's Day, now seemed like a good time to share "the story of us." photo by McKenzie Baird I'll begin with where things start from my end... When I was about to be a senior in high school, my mom was going insane because I wasn't even thinking about which schools I wanted to attend once I graduated. I had no clue. I didn't even know where to begin. At that time, she was working at our church in the creative arts department and a friend from church, whom I didn't know well at the time, was interning with the youth department and told my mom about her university a few hours away. Before I even knew what was going on, we were scheduled for a trip to go visit and I was furious. I had a boyfriend bac

Naturally Skeptic

Lately, I have been looking into what many have, especially these days. I have been trying to convert to more natural living. I am always really careful to take everything I read about natural products with a grain of salt because I believe humans were given the knowledge needed for medicine (which, are often made from plants!) for a reason...even though we often abuse it! I believe everything should be done and taken under doctor supervision, especially if it's supposed to treat something major, like a heart condition. I recently had a woman at a farmer's market who tried to tell me not to take medicine for things like blood pressure and such after I told her I believed herbs and remedies were great for certain things, but others needed more serious treatment. I only mentioned it to her after she told me she had some type of a "medical degree", thinking she might understand my view. Definitely skeptical about what kind of degree... I just kind of nodded, smiled,

Coconutty

So I'm on a little bit of a coconut kick. I saw something on pinterest the other day that said something to the effect of "if you have issues with your hormones, coconut oil can help!" and it talked mostly about hormone issues with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is another crazy condition I have. That one is pretty common among women, though. It's no big deal for me, but it can be for some women. I thank God for that one. The person said to just drop a dollop of the oil in your coffee in the morning and you get the benefit without too much of a taste change. Also, coconut oil has natural fats that your body needs and it actually can help your body lose weight . Yeah. Fats that make you lose weight. Cool, right? Also, I really like coconut, so this is like candy for me! Coconut oil has also been proven to help with memory (especially EVCO when taken on a daily basis) and while on Topamax I need all the memory boost I can get! It can get a little rough some
