5 On Friday

Yay! This is my first 5 on Friday link up! I think it looks super fun, so I thought I'd try it.  

1.  Big Sexy Hair Spray

Good grief, this stuff will hold your hair during a category 5! It has kept my chignon in tip top shape every night of dress rehearsal and last night during the show! Let's hope it keeps it up! 

And for 17.95, you really can't beat it! 

2.  Let's Stay Together

This song has been on repeat lately! Don't know what it is about it, but seriously...so good.  

3. Organic Throat Coat Herbal Tea

For my overtired voice and my body that is trying to get sick during a show, this stuff has been a MAJOR lifesaver!  Thank you, Traditional Medicinals! Click here to get your own, or if you're in Franklin, visit

Room Full of Nuts, my favorite health food store in town!

4. Warm Days

I LOVE summer.  That is all. 

5.  When People Do Nice Things

When people do things for you without you having to ask, I am reminded that despite what is being flashed all over the media, there are still good people in the world!  And I have amazing friends and family! 

Happy Friday!

The Woman You Are Today

So, I saw this pin on Pinterest today, and it really made me think.  "Would the girl you were yesterday admire the woman you are today? If not, adjust for desired results."  

Wow...that's some pretty heavy stuff.    

I look back on my "yesterday" and there are DEFINITELY some things I'm not proud of.  However, those things I am not proud of have defined the adjustments that I wish to make in my life.   

I am not perfect by any means, but I feel as though I am becoming more like the woman I desire to be.  

Over the past year and a half, I've worked really hard to "adjust for desired results."  

I'm still Abigail, but in many ways I have grown; I am different, and I think the old me would be happy to see the differences in the new me.   

I haven't made these changes alone, that's for sure!  I've had lots of support from friends, family, and people I look up to.  I've also had many prayers sent up for me.  I know that prayer works, because without it, I wouldn't be where I am.  This being said, don't stop praying friends, because goodness knows, I still have a LONG way to go! 

I am learning to be happy with myself.  

I'm finally chasing my dream of becoming an educator.  

And I'm just trying to be more happy in general.  

My problems are minuscule compared to others!

Relay Weekend

This weekend was all about Relay for Life! 

For as long as I can remember, I've always been involved in Relay, but not as much as I was this year. 

I got the opportunity to be on the committee this year and it was a really good experience for me! 

Friday after work was spent setting up.  Then after that, I got a short repose and ate really yummy Little Caesar's Pizza and watched Revolutionary Road with Bekah, which, by the way, is an amazing movie (and it has Leonardo DiCaprio in it which is ALWAYS nice)!  

Saturday morning I got up bright and early and helped finish setting up, and from 10:00 til 10:00 had a great time with good friends.  Our chairperson kissed a pig, I ate a lot of good food, and walked it off! 

The Luminary service brought tears to my eyes.  Cancer is such a real thing and affects everyone in some way!  So thankful for a great turnout and all the hard work that everyone put in to make this Relay for Life a successful one!  

And now back to work...oh rainy, unproductive Mondays.

Friday Letters get real, real quick.

Today I'm linking up with Ashley @ The Sweet Season for some real Friday letters! 

dear friday:

I'm thankful you're here.  You have no idea.  

dear Relay for Life:

I'm so excited for you tomorrow and I know we're going to make a big difference in the fight against cancer!

dear funk i've been in lately:

Go away...you're ruining my mood.  I have so much going for me right now.  I have job interviews on the horizon, I've been praying about a mission trip, Cinderella at the end of this month, and some of the best friends and family ever! 

dear person that i can't write about in detail:

You drive me crazy...and I love every minute of it.  You're one of my best friends.  You make me laugh all the time and I love spending time with you.  Except sometimes, I'm very afraid you're like my kryptonite.  

dear married/engaged friends:  

I have to admit I'm jealous of you when I read/hear about your wonderful relationships and wedding plans...but at the same time I like being single.  What to do?! Nothing, I guess.  

dear teaching job:

I want and need you!  I would love some prayers for my interview on Wednesday at 10:45.  Thanks in advance! 

xoxo,

Abigail
