This weekend was pretty fun! I really wish though that I had been able to sleep in on at least one day.
Sunday was the superbowl and Landon decided to invite some friends over and we had a little party! It was our first get together in our apartment. We are slackers, I know. We have been married for almost 7 months and have not had a get together at our apartment. Here are the pictures from last night.
So there have been so many wonderful wreaths on those fabulous craft blogs out there! So I decided that I would create one of my own. We are a newly wed couple and students and that = no money. I am proud to say that this craft didn't cost me any money. I used an old box to cut out the circle and fabrics, ribbon and one of Landon's old shirts and made all of these great little rosettes! It was so fun and I love how it looks!
I was doing what I do best (blog surfing... pathetic I realize) and I happened upon this blog Be Different... Act Normal. And I found this video about life, venerability and courage. This women, Brene Brown, has spent years researching people and the way they live to come to this conclusion. I know that it is long (about 20 minuets) but if you do have the time please watch it. I know that when you watch this you may think "I already knew this" or "Ya ya... it isn't that simple" but I say to you, maybe it is that simple.
To just stop.
To love deeper.
To start today to let the world know the real you, all the imperfections and scars.
I don't talk from experience but I say this as someone who is struggling to find out who I am. To let myself be seen. To breakdown those walls and let others in. It is hard. I'm not really sure how to do it but I'm going to keep trying. I know that now at this moment, I have a better understanding of myself. I can look into my life and say "Yeah, I see it. I can fix that." I have courage.
So if you haven't noticed I have been having a rough time having any motivation to blog. I go in spurts it seems like. One month I'm on fire and the next I have nothing interesting to write about. I have been overwhelmed lately with school, work, money and life. This has been a rough semester so far in terms of scheduling. I have work everyday, some days 10 hours a day, and trying to fit in school has got me a little stressed. But I am doing better this week in controlling what I can control and letting the rest go.
In other news, one of the greatest little stores in Rexburg call Panache is having a great giveaway on their blog! Isn't this necklace just cute as can be?! Panache is a fabulous place to shop. They get shipments in multiple times a week and their prices are just perfect for the college student's budget!
I thought it would be a good idea to do a little self evaluation and to make some goals. And why not its the beginning of a new year.... So here they are -
Kendra's New Years Resolutions 2011!
