So in Ocala, things have been particularly awesome lately. As of last week, CF finallyyy got me into classes that fit my new major requirements, and it all worked with my 5 job schedule. Also, my Bright Futures scholarship is getting worked out, Yay!
Speaking of getting worked out, Kristina has started doing muscle workouts with me. And I have officially changed to two scheduled workouts everyday, morning and evening. I had been doing one scheduled, and throwing in an evening one at random 3-4 days a week, but I felt it was time to step it up. I also did GNC Total Lean shakes for a week, loved it and plan to continue/ incorporate it into my normal diet. I did not follow the meal plan, it simply included way too much food, it was engineered for extreme weight loss. But it's also really good for just building lean muscle mass.
I discovered Chelsea's Coffee, an adorable coffee shop on my side of town (whoaaaa!!!) That serves organic coffee, not outrageously priced. I love it because it's like I'm at starbucks, but I'm not payng an arm and leg, it's healthy, and I'm not getting the "You're not cool, why are you at a mainstream establishment?" glares.
Brandon has been doing EMT training, I'm really proud of him. This saturday is our 33 month anniversary. We dont actually celebrate monthly, but we happened to notice saturday is 33 which is pretty cool. I think that's it.
The main idea of this post is how stoked I am about everything going right. After months of praying things seem to be falling into place. It's awesome to see how God works when you trust him with all you have.

Bro put shirt on!
~This is a rant ~
While strolling through my facebook news feed, I was greatly disturbed. Shocker. Now note: I'm only friends with people I know and have a real, non-virtual friendship or acquaintanceship with. AKA I dont have many friends. But I know them all. So when they post pictures, it's not like oh that person's like that, it's like OHH wow, that person was not like that when I met them. Or, in a lot of my cases, they were born into my family. Because half of my friends list is relatives, yeah I'm that loser. Anyway, I've found that facebook has created monsters out of teenagers. AHH REAL MONSTERS. Im afraid of the future because of facebook.
Did you know that girls (and guys, I guess) actually wake up in the morning with the intention of getting dressed all cute (AKA slutty) putting on makeup or whatever, TO TAKE PICTURES?!?! Get a life, dawg! Noone cares about a picture of you with the camera upper left and you with a kissy face to the right, next picture kissy face to left, suck in stomach, perk out boobs and butt, do it again while holding back bangs FOR THE NEXT THREE HUNDRED PHOTOS! Oh yeah and dont forget to aim the camera down your shirt, gotta show the strangers your twelve year old cleavage.
I know it's a insecurity must fit in and get "likes" of approval for body confidence*** because I'm in an awkward phase of my life thing, but come on. At least take pictures of you going somewhere real. I mean hey, if you dress like a whore while you're at Disneyland or whatever, then fine by all means take pictures in your bra and undie-shorts. With yor Dad. And Mickey. Knock yourself out.
But if your gonna sit in front of a camera with the pure intention of taking a picture down our shirt AGAIN, please spare the facebook world. Yeah I know I don't have to look at your pictures, free world, you can do what floats your boat, but for your own sake, be original. Be clean. Be a not-hoe today. Do it for your Mom. Your grandmother. The starving children of Africa or abused animals in the ASPCA shelter. And next time you purse your lips, arch your back, suck in your gut, and adjust your low cut shirt, just know, it's been done before. Whether by someone else, or by you, in your 900000 MILLION ALBUMS OF YOURSELF.
*** Note: The best place for confidence and approval, is the bible. Trust me, I was (and still am) an awkward insecure teen.
Ex. Samuel 16:7 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in SPEECH, in CONDUCT, in LOVE, in FAITH, in PURITY."
P.S. The list of things that everY teenager thinks they are going to be when they grow up, thanks to social media sites.

2011
I can't even begin to think of all the things that happened in 2011. So I'll make a bullet list that I cn come back and remember with cute thoughts years from now. Yeah, right.
I graduated high school.
I fell more in love with my boyfriend.
I read more of the bible than ever before.
I sold my cow.
I made another best friend.
My favorite lamb died.
My favorite goat killed it.
I was announced Godmother to my friends fetus. :D
I got hermit crabs.
My kitten grew up.
I went from 1 job to 5 jobs.
I went through my first semester of college. Not near as big of a deal as I thought.
I watched some of my closest friends begin lives outside of Ocala.
I found out it is in fact possible to have a life outside of Ocala.
I moved houses for the first time.
I developed a bank account and kept money in it.
I ate green beans out of my very own vegetable garden.
I flipped my life upsde down by changing my major.
I realized "scooping poop" on a resume won't get me far.
I watched my boyfriend find a new dream for his career.
My brother found the girl of his dreams.
I ensured that I only eat all natural foods.
I met my biggest fitness goal ever.
My little brother was born.
I learned a lot of new things to cook.
I'm sure this year was much more than this list. I just thoght I'd jump on the nostalgia train real quick.
