Tell me about it, stud.

The fact that I am even able to sit down and write a few posts on this Wednesday night for the remainder of this week is mind blowing for me. I have missed this so much and I feel like I owe you guys a bunch of posts so that's what I'm going to try and do!! Thank you guys for always understanding that life happens and I can't always get to my little home on the interwebz but I will always come back to you. I promise. Now on to the actual post!

     _______________________________________________________________________________

Happy Thursday loves! I am so glad that tomorrow is FRIDAY, cause that means I will be heading down to good ole Dirty Myrtle for some fun in the sun with my favorite women! But that's not the point of this here post! you will get a recap post on Monday! Today I want to tell you about what I did this past weekend. If you follow me on Instagram and/or Twitter then you might have a few ideas as to what I'm about to talk about. 

So like, one of my all-time favorite movie musicals is Grease. I mean I LOVE it. I fell IN LOVE with John Travolta after this movie. No joke. I've been a die hard Travolta fan ever since. I mean like look at this face, how could you not fall in love with this face?

Like wow. Oh my gosh. Excuse me while I fangirl for a minute...okay I'm done. Moving on. So not only do I LOVE this movie but so does my mother, my sister, and my boo Jordan. So obviously when we heard that they were doing a GREASE OUTDOOR SING ALONG in Cary we were all over that like flies at a picnic. We bought are tickets in the beginning of summer and anxiously awaited the night that we could relish in the awesomeness of this fantastic movie!

Here's the best part of this whole thing. They strongly encourage you to dress up as characters from the movie and by golly that's exactly what we did! This was an amazing experience and so freaking fun! I hope to do it again and maybe even do it with The Sound of Music or maybe Rock of Ages. Who knows? Enjoy these pictures!

All my love, Carly ♥

My first week as a senior

This is going to be an information mostly post. I know I promised to write about something deeper going on in my life today but I didn't get a chance to blog at all this week like I thought I would, so you will just have to wait. It'll be worth it, I promise. So let's talk about this past week shall we?

Tuesday. I got up bright eyed and bushy tailed at 7:15 for my first day of college as a senior. First class of the day? Pedagogy of dance at 9:30. I'm sure most of you are wondering what that is. Well pedagogy mean the teaching of whatever comes after it. So this class is about me learning how to teach the art I love. Y'all, I am so excited about this class. I will come out of this class with so much experience in teaching to put on my resume. I am really going to love this class. I can feel it. So the second and last class of the day? Accelerated beginning Spanish. It's not as terrifying as it sounds. I'm just trying to finish my foreign language requirement as fast as possible. I have Spanish everyday of the week and it is always my second class. That's it for my Tuesdays and Thursdays school wise. Isn't that awesome? Yeah I think so too.

Wednesday. I got up not as early but still kinda early for my second day of classes. My first class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday is early dance history. I am so excited for this class. The professor for this class is awesome. So engaging and funny. Love it! Second class was Spanish. Third class that meets only on Mondays and Wednesdays is modern dance 2. I actually have this class with my advisor which is awesome. I'm looking forward to starting the actual dancing next week.

So there is basically my school life. I love all my classes and I know I made the right choice to switch my major. I have never felt so driven and happy and excited. I love it.

I also have amazing news! I got a job this week babysitting two little rugrats a couple days a week. The hours are pretty flexible so it hopefully won't be too hard to keep up with school. I'm excited to be making money by hanging out with some kiddies.

That's really all I have for this post. I really just can't believe my college career is basically almost over. It feels like I just started. It makes me sad in a way. I love this place. I don't want to leave. Best case scenario would be to graduate and get a job right here in Boone. But of course that's all up to God. I can't wait to see what He has in store for me because I know it is way better than anything I could plan for myself.

So with that, I'm done here. Have a great rest of your Saturday. I'll be back on Monday.

All the love,
Carly ♥

Wowzers.

Oh hey. Remember me? I sure hope so. I know it's been too long. Life has been ridiculous. If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then you know that this past week and a half has been beyond crazy. I planned to write this particular post this past Friday but clearly that didn't happen. I'm writing this the night before it goes live because I have class at 9:30 but anyway onto the post. I'll talk about school later.

So I'm about to give you what I like to call "a surface life update". Let me explain. I'm just going to tell you what I've been up to. Nothing deep...yet. Just give you a feel for where I'm at. I'm sure you guys can't wait to know what's been going on deeper in my life, but you'll have to wait till at least Saturday. You'll survive. Promise

So let's go back to two Fridays ago. I went to the Blake Shelton Concert in Raleigh. It was awesome. I was like on the 5th or 6th row in the middle. There was a catwalk out into the audience so I could have touched him. Twas utterly amazing. Easton Corbin and Jana Kramer opened for him. Easton touched me. I about died. Excuse me while I fangirl. He is just so cute! Here are a few pictures:

Jana Kramer. Only picture I could get. She was fast haha

Easton Corbin. He's so cute y'all. 

Isn't he a cutie too? All these pictures were taken with my phone. Whoop!

Saturday. My sister, my mom, and I went down to SC to see a family friend, Laura, who is basically another sister to me. She's pregnant with her firstborn and we haven't seen her since last summer. I am so excited to meet my little nephew. Isn't she beautiful? Can't even tell she's preggers. I hope I look like that. I got to touch her belly, clearly! And man did little Josiah kick my hand. So amazing.

Sunday after we went to church with Laura and her hubby, we went to Charlotte to see the Broadway musical version of The Lion King. Oh my goodness guys. It was so good. It was amazing to see the characters come to life. Seriously take your children or just go yourself. You won't be disappointed. Sadly I have no pictures. After the show we drove back to good ol' Browns Summit and I went straight to sleep.

Monday I slept in. But since I had been getting up early all summer, sleeping in for me is now sleeping till like 9:30. I had to go to the doctor...again. I went to the regular doctor to get this freckle/mole thing removed on my arm. Yay. Not. It didn't hurt though. So then that evening mom and I went to a bridal shower for a girl from our church at my old job. It was super fun and I got to see people I hadn't seen in like a year. After that, mom and I went to dinner with a few people from church. It was so good. I forgot to take a picture. But I really wish I had because it was my last real meal for about a month.

Tuesday. 8am. Dentist office. I said goodbye to my wisdom...teeth. I only had two on the bottom. They were partially erupted so they just numbed the crap outta me. I was awake while they removed them. I cannot begin to describe to you the experience. It was so weird. I don't even want to think about it. I only took the pain meds they gave me the day of the surgery. After that I didn't really need them. So that was a plus!

The next day, I got sick from the numbing medicine. Great. I could barely eat. Thursday was better but my jaw hurt some. Friday I drove back to Boone to get some things ready for school. Saturday I hung out with some friends at their new apartment.

Shenanigans. We are silly.

Sunday I had to drive back home for another doctor's appointment. This is wear it got bad again. Monday morning I had a doctors appointment that went great. But then at 11:30, I had another appointment with the regular doctor. The result had come back for my mole. It was sever atypia. Pre cancerous. But they wanted more of a sample. Aca-scuse me? They went wider and deeper this time. I now have 4 stitches in my right upper arm. Talk about unattractive. They also scraped off a similar mole on my tummy.

So basically it has been a rough week and a half. I'll be on soft foods till September and I'll have my stitches removed next Thursday. Here's a fun fact: I've never had stitches before. So that's cool.

Okay well pray for a good first day of school! I'll tell you all about it when I can. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram to keep up with how my first day is going!

All the love,
Carly ♥
