liar, liar, pants on fire

So, I lied about posting last week. Forgive me? All of my spare time has been devoted to labs, care plans, papers, and maybe a little bit of Pinterest thrown in to even out the mix. I'm addicted!

My roommate and I are signing a lease for an apartment soon, so I've been finding all kinds of inspiration that make white walls seem ideal. I'm excited for a blank canvas and to spend the summer crafting away!

I love this color scheme!

This simplistic theme would be so easy to recreate for two college students on a budget.

I guess I'm really feeling the yellow & gray...

This is a must.

This makes me so excited to go shopping for mismatched hardware!

Any suggestions for a first time renter? I'm all ears!

Hope your Tuesday is a fun one!

Love,

Katelyn

Awkward and Awesome, Take one!

I decided that I wanted to join in the fun that is Awkward and Awesome Thursday, a creative product of none other than Sydney herself. Here goes nothin' --


Awkward:

• Almost literally running into a middle-aged jogger on my way to my car at 6:30 a.m. Where did you come from and why are jogging in parking lots? I may or may not have screamed a little.
• iPhone autocorrecting "believe" to "Celine"....I cannot Celine that! Umm, what?
• Elevator rides. Period.
• Doing a heart and lung assessment in nursing lab on a classmate. Your fingers have gotta get all up in their chesty business -- in front of the instructor.
• How I'll never learn my lesson regarding wearing dresses when it's SUPER windy outside. Tugging and squirming while walking is a talent I have all but mastered.
• Campus food after Mom's home cooking for a week. Seriously, the only answer is salt...and lots of it.
• My professor stopping class to scold two girls at the front of the room. Apparently we are still in kindergarten.

Awesome:

• Only 5 weeks of spring semester left! Bring it on, summer. Snowcones are first on my list.
• Today is Thursday, aka my Friday. 3 day weekends rock my world. (Except when they involve studying, which this one does. Boo.)
• Adele station on Pandora. Why yes, I do like raspy British women to serenade me while I study. How about you?
• In less than a month, my boyfriend and I will have our 3 year anniversary! :insert googly eyes here:
• Roommate lunch date today at Zoe's Kitchen -- their Greek salad is to. die. for.
• Planning a summer vacation with my family
• Online window shopping for an SLR camera. Now, Canon or Nikon? I'm saving my pennies!
• My little sister and our fun Photobooth photoshoots, exhibit A:

Okay, maybe that's awkward. Whatevs.

So, that's it for the first edition. We'll see if next week brings as even more awk/awes moments!

Happy Thursday,

Katelyn

A few days off

I have definitely been putting the 'Break' in Spring Break this week, and it has been won-der-ful. Here's a sneak peek into what I've been up to:

Mom cooked up some homemade greasy goodness, aka onion rings. Can you say delicious?

We took silly pictures. Silly=serious for us, because let's face it - serious rarely happens 'round here.

I've worn clothes. No thanks to southern weather, I have been dressing for fall-like temps. Spring, where are you?!

To help usher in the spring weather, I caved and bought a dress from the Target Go International line. I highly recommend putting on a fashion show with all the dresses for your mother in the Target dressing room. I mean, I had fun...

Boyfriend and I had a little afternoon date to Chik-fil-a and to see The Adjustment Bureau. We loved it! Action + romance = thumbs up from both of us.

Had a mad hankering for chocolate, so I made brownies. Yes, of course I licked the bowl.

While indulging in the aforementioned brownies, I also indulged in a little Bachelor season finale. I get sucked in every season, and this might have been my favorite. I love Brad and Emily together!

It's only Tuesday, so hopefully there is much more fun to come! I am thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's posts that attended the Texas Style Council Conference this past weekend. I'm thinking that's going to be on the Spring Break agenda next year! 
What's your favorite part about Spring Break?

P.S. Can I just sing the praises of Instagram for a second? Favorite iPhone app ever, folks.

And I call myself a blogger...pfft.

Looks like I should've named this blog "On a Monthly Basis," because, let me tell you -- life gets so darn busy sometimes! I sure would've liked to have been blogging to my heart's content the past few weeks, but my professors decided that now would be a good time to take away our sleeping privileges instead. However, Spring Break is lurking in the very distant future (one more week!), and I'm looking forward to some much-needed R&R.

Confession: I am super terrible at remembering to take pictures of anything. So, this blog is partly an effort to document my life and improve my picture-taking skills. Keep me accountable, friends! I have taken a few pictures lately, but they have been sporadic and make no sense when put together. But alas, here they are, in all of their pointless glory: 

I LOVE baseball season, but not that random guy's head all up in my photo.

I told you they would be amateur! I'm probably not even wearing shoes.

Came home to these puppies in the mail. A good day indeed!

Skyping with my man. Sometimes you just gotta be silly, ya know?

Have you got any exciting plans for the weekend? Do tell!

yes, please!

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous the past few days! Is it just me, or does everyone just seem friendlier, smilier (there's no red squiggly so I'm going to assume that's a word...), and just overall happier when there's sunshine and warm temps? I love it!

I'm ready to break out outfits like this:

In an effort to avoid studying, I have been perusing J.Crew's Spring Lookbook.

What do you think?

I think it's pure genius.

I hope it's sunny wherever you are!

Love,

Katelyn

P.S. I live in scrubs 3 days a week, but I am hoping to start posting (verrry amateur) outfit photos soon!

'L' is for the way you look at me...

What better way to start off the week than with a cheesy, mushy holiday? Am I right?? Unfortunately, Monday is quite a crazy day for my Valentine and myself, so we did all of our celebrating this past weekend. There was Reese's cheesecake involved. Need I say more?

I saw these pictures posted by Ashley at The Shine Project and they had me longing for access to a kitchen to make sweet homemade treats for V-day. Oh, the perils of college living!

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Much love, 

Katelyn

frostbite

So, I got my wish.  It snowed...and it snowed....and it snowed some more.  We were stuck inside for 4 days. (Which in theory sounds great, but there's only so many episodes of Dexter that will suffice.) My wimpy Texan self was sorry that I ever wished for snow.  I was blessed with this little gem though:

That's right - outside my window, from that sweet boy of mine.

:)

The rest of this week is chock full of exams, quizzes, and late nights of studying. 

Spring Break, show yourself!!

Have a great week, lovelies!
