Beyond Blessed

 Hello everyone!  I hope that life has been sweet.  It's been awhile since I wrote to y'all so I figured I should give a little update on life.  I'll share some of the ups & downs and adventures & boring moments of this new 'adult' life I've been living. Recap of Life in NC Yes, I still live here.  No, my cooking hasn't gotten any better.  I successfully burnt banana bread TWICE as well as a couple other things.  I really need to stop trying to multitask while I am baking because it never ends well.  Life has been busy, but good.  It's hard being away during the fall.  There seems to be so much going on at home - school and sports and harvest and blizzards (I do not miss those) and my fear of missing out is kicking in.  However, I feel like I have learned more about myself in the past 4 months than I have in the past 22 years of my life.  It's crazy what moving to a new place by yourself will teach you! ...

EVERYTHING is an adventure if you simply choose it to be.  The other day at work I was trying to find the bathroom on a different floor and boy, let me tell you, that was an adventure.  I ended up getting incredibly lost and desperately trying to backtrack my way to familiar h...

Hey, y'all! This is Elizabeth coming at you live from North Carolina! I have survived my first 2 weeks in the South (believe it or not).  Life here is a little bit different than at home.  I have came up with a list of new adventures to share with you that I have been able to experience during my time here. 1.   To start off, the HEAT.  None of you back home are allowed to complain about the heat anymore because it is literally insane here.  To make matters worse, the humidity.  I think that I have been in a constant state of sweat since I set foot in the South.  When I say my prayers at night I thank the Dear Lord for gracing this earth with air conditioning because I would have melted without it. Here is a pic of me drenched in sweat after attempting to run in 96 degree weather with 80 percent humidity. Yikes! 2.   The beauty of NC.  For those of you that have never been to North Carolina, it is breath taking. ...
