WILW (Part II)

“Life isn't all grand, but it isn't all miserable either. There's both sweet and sour in every day. So why focus on the ugly when you can gaze at what's beautiful? Concentrate on the good.”  ~Richelle E. Goodrich

Like I said yesterday, I'm loving so many things this week that I had to split them into to posts.  If you missed Part I yesterday, click here.  Today, I'm linking up with Jamie and moving on to Part II of the things I'm loving this week!

NUMBER SEVEN:  My sweet friend Pharmer Girl started a new series on her blog called Behind the Scenes, and I was her first interview!  So if you want to see me imparting some of my wisdom (or lack thereof) go read her blog.  And follow her.  Because she's awesome.

NUMBER EIGHT:  This picture I saw on facebook.  I'm not a huge Ryan Gosling fan (don't stone me...I just prefer someone more like Ryan Reynolds) but I thought this was hilarious.  Where do I find that sweater??

NUMBER NINE:  This song by Paul McDonald and Nikki Reed.  Adorable.

NUMBER TEN:  This picture. I sent this to Blonde Oklahoma Girl last week and told her one of us has to get married soon just so we can take this photo!

NUMBER ELEVEN:  Brianne's amazing decision to make a big change in her life.  And the fact that she credited my blog with helping give her the confidence to make this decision.  I am so humbled!

NUMBER TWELVE:  This blog called You May or May Not Get Married So Now What?  The author had a plan--high school, college, marriage.  She didn't plan for the gap between the last two.  I understand that feeling!  She talks about how her life is different than her dream, but maybe it's better.  

My favorite quote from the blog:  When I was six, I didn’t walk around with a pretend laptop and pretend cell phone and act like I was on my way to a super important meeting.  I walked around in heels and held fake flowers.  It’s a funny thing when we try and live out our idea of a plan.  We quickly discover that living out God’s plan is more of a dream come true than any Disney movie could have premiered.  It’s just a dream we never imagined. 

NUMBER THIRTEEN:  More baby news!  Mr. and Mrs. Chocolate Brown welcomed Baby CB this weekend....and she is absolutely precious.  With these two knock outs as parents, how could she not be?  Aunt Tiff is dying to meet her!!
