Awesome

Awesome is a many faceted word. It's a perfect adjective for life because life also has many facets. After the amazing response Anne received from her post about 20 Awesome Things last week, she decided to create a new link-up for the first tuesday of each month where we can all share the awesome things in our lives. I freaking love this idea and was definitely one of the bloggers who voted "yes" to the link-up! So today I am sharing with you 10 awesome things that have happened since I moved to Missouri last September.

1. I got to marry the love of my life. (duh, that's why I came here in the first place)

2. I gained two fur babies. They are like our kids and I miss them when we're not home.

3. I started school again. After nine years I'm going to finish my degree!

4. Since starting school, I have made three fabulous girlfriends. Dana, Boni, and Kaity. I freaking love those girls!

5. I got to re-decorate my very own home. To be quite honest, we are still in the process, but it's way better than it was a year ago.

6. I started this blog!! Yep. In January Peaches in Missouri was born, then after I changed my name, the blog got a name change too! This blog has brought me so much joy and introduced me to so many wonderful women, I'm so glad I followed through with my whim.

7. SNOW. I have never seen so much snow as I did last winter and it's beautiful! I love getting to see all the seasons here. There are only two seasons in Georgia (Summer and Winter with no snow).

8. No traffic. It's amazing. Living in such a small town there is really no such thing as traffic here.

9. I have been able to purchase a few items that I have wanted for a while now. It's nice to have the means to indulge your materialistic wants sometimes (Thanks to my Hubs).

10. I am truly happier than I have ever been in my entire life. I'm not sure I knew what being happy really was until I came here and got to be with Philip all the time. Love will do that to you.

What are some Awesome things in your life?

Finals and Term Papers and PowerPoint Slides Oh My!

You guys. It's finals week. I also have a research paper with corresponding powerpoint presentation due this week as well. If you don't see me, it's because I'm boobs deep in scientific journal articles, power point slides, and flash cards.

I am so grateful to my husband for putting up with the madness that is school. And for you guys being so patient and supportive! It means a lot to me.

I have a few weeks off in between sessions, so we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.

See you soon! Hopefully I won't be bald from pulling my hair out.

Currently...

Hello October. Welcome back, I've missed you! Fall is one of my favorite seasons. It brings out the sweaters, boots, and scarves I love to wear; it marks the beginning of the holiday season (I start mine with the First Day of Fall!). Along with the changing of the seasons comes the chaining of other things in life too. So here's what I'm currently up to.

Loving... The amazing fall weather we've been having. We don't have to run our AC and it's not cold enough for a heater just yet. #savingmoney

Reading... Breaking Dawn (book 4 of the Twilight Saga) for the millionth time #dontjudgeme #TeamEdward

Feeling... #Stressed. Finals are approaching, and I still have to finish my term paper and powerpoint presentation for Psychology.

Watching... Gossip Girl. I finally gave in and now I'm hooked. Thank you Netflix. #XOXOGossipGirl

Writing... other than this blog post, I'm writing my term paper and working on my study guides. #SchoolIsCool

Listening... Classical and instrumental music. It helps me concentrate when I need to get stuff done. #focused

Wanting... some new shoes for fall. All my flats are old and stinky. #shoppingtrip

Needing... some coffee. I wish Starbucks was closer to my house. #caffeine

Avoiding... #Amazon. I don't need all the things. I don't. I don't. I don't. (These are the things I have to tell myself to keep from going on an online shopping spree!)

Trying... to keep up with social media, blog reading, studying, TV shows, family, and my husband all at the same time. #Exhausted

Hating... that my favorite tumbler straw cup broke last week. But that means I get to buy a shiny new one, right? #moreshopping

Missing... My mom. I miss her all the time really. #momsarethebest

Considering... rearranging my house. #decor

Wishing... a wonderful beginning to the holiday season for everyone! #happyfall

Hoping... that you will take advantage of the discounted pricing on my Sponsor Ads this week! (Sale ends Monday, October 6th) #pleasepleaseplease

Thinking... that I should probably check on the bagels in the tooter oven. Don't want them to burn! #breakfast

Praying... for a speedy process time on my financial aid issue that got resolved yesterday. #gogogo

I used all the hashtags... #SorryNotSorry
