Honesty Hour

WHOO! Hello bloggy friends! It's been a while, I know. Been crazy here! Here's a quick update before I launch into my actual blog post! I got to see Tim this past weekend for the first time in over 2 months!!!! It was amazing. We went to the movies twice, once to see Iron Man 3 and another time to see Oblivion, Both of which I highly recommend. It was great seeing him and being near him again. I can't wait to see him again for July 4th! Here's a few of the pictures we took this weekend:

Ain't he just the cutest thing ever! I just love him to pieces!

Okay, so now I want to launch into something I want to start doing every Friday! If you want to join in on doing this with me, shoot me an email at carlyparrott@gmail.com and we can decide on topics each for each week. SO having said that, every Friday I will do a post called "Honesty Hour", where I will pick a topic (or whoever wants to join me in this can help pick the topic) and the post will be completely and utterly honest. YAY!

So this week's Honesty Hour is about online shopping...yes you read that right. ONLINE SHOPPING. Don't lie girls, or guys, we all suffer from the need to shop online. It happens to the best of us.

I'm going to just come right out and say it...My name is Carly and I am an online shopaholic. Whew, I feel better. Now when I say that, I don't mean that I literally buy everything I see. I'm just saying that I love shopping and making wishlists for random reason and of different things. I do this online because if you know me, you know that I HATE shopping in the stores. Too much pressure to buy. Can't handle it.

I have a butt ton of bookmark folders named different things. I have a lot of notes on my phone with lists of things I want to buy offline. Not all of it is even for myself!

But here is where it gets real bad. I make all these lists and folders but I have no job and no money therefore these are literally wishlists. Things I will probably never buy because by the time I have the money, I won't even like whatever it is anymore. I know. It's sad. But it's a guilty pleasure. I can't help. I'm cheap and stingy with no money and no job. I'm an online shopaholic.

My guilty pleasures for places to shop online are Etsy and Amazon! And maybe Target if I'm feeling sad that Boone doesn't have one. Yes, I know it's crazy. Anyway, that's it for this week's honesty hour.

Where do you like to do your online shopping?

My short trip home

First off, I will get better at posting everyday, PROMISE!

Okay! So I am officially a senior in college as I said last time. Though I am taking summer classes, yay, I had about a week before I had to be back, so being the awesome person I am, I went home for a few days. So here is a quick recap of what I did! 

On Saturday, I went to my friend Jordan's college graduation party! It was a luau theme and it was such a blast! I'm super grateful that I decided to go! Say hello to North Carolina's newest Special Education Teacher! So proud of her and grateful to have her as a friend.

On Sunday, like most people in the world who love their moms, I celebrated my amazing mother! We went to church, then my dad, sister, and I took her to dinner at Liberty Steakhouse in High Point, NC. (If you haven't been there, you should definitely check it out. There is also one in Myrtle Beach, SC) Anyway, after dinner, we went back to my parent's house and my sister and I gave mom our gifts. Now this is where it gets awesome. After church, me and my sister took pictures with my mom for Mother's Day like always. We got one on my cell phone so we could go down the road to CVS and get it printed out and put in a frame to add to the present we had already gotten her! Cool, right? We were real proud of ourselves. So in addition to the framed Mother's Day picture, we also got our awesome mom some potted plants for the back porch. They were so pretty! (Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a picture of them.) My mom is amazing and I love her very much. I love getting to celebrate her! :)

So then on Monday, I got to hang out with two of my best friends! That morning I went shopping and to lunch with my amazing friend Morgan. We had a great talk and it was so good to see her again and get to have some real girl talk! Then later that afternoon, I went to hang out with my best friend of many years, Kelsey! We painted our nails and just had great conversation. The time I spent with her was truly a blessing because we hardly ever get to just spend time together since both of us go to school away from home (actually our schools are rivals!). I am definitely glad that I got to see those girls Monday. God blessed me with them and I am so grateful.

On Tuesday, I went with my mom and her good friend Mary Ann to see Sister Act in Durham! The show was so good. Great music, fabulous dancing, and lots of laughing. So much fun!

And that brings us to today! Today was nothing special. I packed up my things and came back to Boone. I won't be leaving again until Sunday when I get to go to Charlotte to see my Timothy for the first time in 2 months and 4 days! I cannot express to you how excited I am!
