exciting day

Yesterday was quite the adventurous day. It started out with a kick butt morning workout (thanks Jillian Michaels) and ended with the most exciting news.

In between I....

1. Got two MRIs on my knees and realized that I am, in fact, claustrophobic. (Luckily I talked myself down after freaking out for a minute inside the MRI machine...)
2. Returned a million things and found great display items for my upcoming TRUNK SHOW at my sorority house in February (more on that later)
3. Bought lots of supplies for my jewelry biz

And...

4. MADE MY FIRST SALE ON ETSY!

I literally jumped for joy when I saw this:



... and cried a little bit.

I am so so so thankful for this and am so excited for this journey... (thanks, God!)

Also, I want to take this time to introduce a new item to SNCjewelry... a bracelet! It will be on Etsy later today!


Have a great Tuesday everyone!

happy birthday to a special dude

So today's my boyfriend's birthday and I just wanted to give a special little shout out to the most important man in my life!


These 5 things hardly do him justice. He simply rocks. Happy birthday, Spencer!

2013 & God's path


2013. My graduation year. From college. 

I remember thinking in high school how awesome 2009 was because it was "our year"... The year I had waited for so I could finally get away from the town that I had spent my whole life in. I was ready to move to Georgia and start college. I wanted to get away. 

Four years later, I'm not sure I'm feeling the same way. 

I'm really at a crossroads when it comes to my future. Everything is up in the air and, being a someone who loves planning, it's frightening. What am I going to do in May?

But recently, a phrase stopped me in my tracks: you weren't given this talent for nothing. ("this" being my ability to create movement when I hear music) Wow. Talk about God speaking to you... He didn't give me a passion for dance and teaching for no reason. He wants me to use it. I have to.

Then, Sunday at Church, we studied Nehemiah and our pastor told his story and stopped us on one phrase: I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Meaning that Nehemiah was so focused on his task that he was given that nothing else could distract him. I took this to heart when considering my career path and the development of my business. If this is what God has handed me, I will do it. I will continue. I will give it my full attention and not let anything distract me.


So here's to following the path I was given and hoping for the best!
