H54F-- Better Late Than Never Edition

 If you tend to side with the thought "better late than never," then we can definitely be friends. Because, this post is exactly that. This week there were some exciting things go one, so I had to share!

1. I finally made time to go pick up my cap, gown and hood for graduation. It was divine, even if my hood and tassel is an ugly tan. As long as it results in Master Brenna, then I am fine with it. Check out the tan tassel here. You won't be disappointed!

2. I got a question right in my jurisprudence class. So, I chalk that up was a win.

3. I have been sick since Tuesday, so I have been treating my cold and sore throat with Braum's chocolate shakes for each meal. I think I could really excel at an ice cream diet 24/7 or be a doctor. I can see either one being a hit.

4. It's SPRING BREAK! Hallelujah! Only 55 days until my time at SWOSU is over! :))

5. I started off spring break right with a little shopping in OKC with my BFF Karolyn! We are all set for our summer road trips with friends!

High Five For Friday!

This week highlights are rather exciting. Prepare yourself!

1. I finally got to go home last weekend for the first time in almost six weeks. Since I had missed Valentine's day, I got my card from my cute grandparents while I was there. My grandma told me to buy something good with my present. So, I did what any good granddaughter would do. I followed orders and purchased earrings. Thanks Pops and Grandma! If you are feeling adventurous you can see them here.

2. Monday morning at my weekly "start the week off right" coffee stop, the man in from of me purchased my coffee! I have never had that happen to me before! I was overwhelmed and flustered and didn't even think about paying for the person's coffee behind me! However, tomorrow on my way to the city, I am planning to stop for coffee and do the same. So excited about this!

3. My mom accidentally packed my brothers work keys in with my stuff this week when I was home. Therefore, brother bear came to visit me. And, he drove my jeep. Double win.

4. I visited my first laundry mat this week. It was rather exciting. You can see the photos from the inside here. It was fun.

5. I know I have been talking about this for a while, but today is finally the day! MIRANDA LAMBERT concert TONIGHT! I am so excited to spend some time with two of my favorite glitter pals and Miranda, of course. Oh, and Lee Brice and Dirks Bentley! Be prepared for an update next week!

 Hope you all had a wonderful week, too!

Don't Stop Believing

Sometimes you just need to believe and that is what this week was all about for me. Graduation is coming and I have no idea what I am going to be doing so thats where Mark 5:36 comes in. It pretty much says it all. So, I needed a friendly reminder of this verse so I decided to make a cover photo and iPhone background for myself and because I love sharing ... here they are! 

Peace and Love,

I am barely not going to make the "Friday" mark, but I am determined to finish this.

1. This week started out with two snow days from work and school. What more could a girl ask for? See {Snow Day Fun} for evidence of all the fun!

2. Because of all the snow, my night class was also canceled on Wednesday night. Hooray! However, I still had to take a test online (but, I made an A) and I got to go to church too! Win-Win. Wednesday night was the season premier for Duck Dynasty ... naturally everyone wore camo.  It was awesome.

3. Thursday night was the blood rivalry basketball game against NWOSU. We won. Enough said.

4. Today, I realized that its only one week until the MIRANDA LAMBERT concert with two of my very best friends. I am so excited I can barely contain all my excitement!

5. HOME! Today, I got to come home for the first time in almost a month and a half. Cant wait to sleep in and hang out with my familia for a couple of days and hopefully see some home town friends too!

Snow Day Fun!

I love snow. I know that some find it annoying and I am not saying that I don't at times... especially when it becomes ice and when I fall down and hurt my shoulder, bruise the palm of my hand and skin my knee... but that is another story! Anyways, toady my neighbor and I ventured out to get some sunshine and make snowmen and snow angels, of course!

However, the snow was quite wet, so we opted to not make snow angels. Maybe next time!

We even tried to sneak attack snowball our other neighbor, but he wouldn't even come outside! Not even the huge snowman could entice him to come out! Dang. 

I call the little snowman, Sammy and the big one is Ken! 

If you got a snow day, I hope you enjoyed a couple days of rest. I know I have put mine to good use! Keep Warm and Be Safe!

High Five for Friday

Another week has passed and honestly it went by pretty quickly!

1. My week started off pretty awesome with a trip to Oklahoma City for a little shopping with my best friend, Kadie. We had a lot of fun and I didn't even break the bank! Win on both accounts. And, I found a new addition to my pig collection, but more on that in an upcoming Turquoise Tuesday post!

2. SNOW! Enough said, especially when it cancels classes. Win!

3. The Living Room is a gathering of college students at the Baptist Church each week. I absolutely love it. Each week we are posed with challenges for the upcoming week and it is such a great mid-week restart for me. And, next week we are celebrating Duck Dynasty by wearing camo to the service. Overly excited for this!

4. After living in this town for almost two months, I have finally started to venture out to try a few local restaurants. Tonight, we tried Luigi's! It was delicious. And, bonus I had enough to bring home for lunch tomorrow and probably dinner tomorrow night too! Definitely recommend trying it if you are in the 580 area!

5. With the realization of graduation being a little under 80 days away, I started preparing for the big day. And, by that I don't mean the obvious of job searching, but better yet ... designing my graduation invitations! I checked out the ones the university sells and was less than impressed with the boringness of the designs. Definitely not my personality, so I am upping the ante an making my own again for this graduation. Can't wait to see the finished product! Expect an update on this very soon!

Jalapeños Grilled Cheese ... YUM!

This is not a sandwich for those of you that are faint at heart. Depending on the brand of jalapeños

 you use, this sandwich could bring quite the kick. But, delicious nevertheless. I found a similar recipe for this, but I adapted it because I am quite picky and didn't want mayo or anything crazy on my sandwich!

What you will need: 

Bread

Butter

Sliced Cheese

Cream Cheese

Jalapeños

Step 1:

Grab a pan and butter one side of both pieces of bread. 

Step 2:

Spread the cream cheese on the other side of one piece of bread. 

Step 3:

Add a few jalapeños on top of the cream cheese. (I only put about four on mine, because I don't like super spice, but do as your little heart desires.) Be brave, but not too brave! :)

Step 4:
Add the sliced cheese on top of the jalapeños. (Disclaimer: This tends to be messy if you are a rookie cook like me!) 

Step 5: 

Start cookin'. (Just like a normal grilled cheese!) 

Step 6: 

That is it! Enjoy!
