What I'm Loving Wednesdays!

So I'm linking up on What I'm Loving Wednesday!


I'm loving...

This beautiful weather!


My basketball team. They played against KY last night. Kept ahead all up until the last 4 minutes of the game. So sad that we lost, but they definately came to play last night. At they did amazing. We totally deserved to win.


My friends. I've met the most wonderful people at MSU. And I'm so thankful for them.



That I finally found a job!

Bloggers!! Reading some of other people's blogs have totally given me an extra boost of happiness today that I needed.

Weekend Update and Good Luck

So I've heard that ladybugs bring good luck, and I think this is true. Friday, I was on my way to an interview for a job. I've been looking for a job for like a month and half and I haven't had any luck at all. Well, when I get there I fill out an application and right after they put me in the system and got me started on training videos. I really needed a job, so I'm so grateful to finally have this one. Even though, I'm a little nervous, but hopefully I'll be alright.


But, then, the luck continued. I was checking my e-mail today and was given a promo code for a free large pizza and a 2-liter pepsi. I was so thankful for that too, cause I was wondering what I was going to eat today because I have to stop spending money right now, and here come a free delcious meal.

And what's so great is that the ladybug is one of my social organizations symbols, so I thought that was really cool. But whether it was the ladybug that brought me good luck or just so happened to happen around the time I saw the bug, I'm very thankful for all that luck I recieved.


But moving on from my recently found luck. Yesterday we had New Member Reception for my organization. We got so many great new members and really excited! We went bowling and it was fun. I got so many gutter balls it isn't even funny, but it was still fun to go and hang out with everyone. Here are a few pictures from the night.


Action shot of D & S, new members.


The clasic shot of shoes! Bowling shoes are the ugliest!


E & me at the bowling alley.


A & E!!



R & me!!


So all in all it was a fun trip to the Bowling Alley. The night continued on to eat mexican with T, L, K, A, D, and me. It's our go to place. Mexican is the best cause it's cheap and as soon as you sit down you get an appetizer. And it's usually pretty tasty. Then I went on to a Mardi Gras party with E & J, but didn't stay to long. There wasn't many people that I knew, but it was nice to hang out with them.


Today is suppose to be a productive day. I plan on studying for a few test I have this week as well as doing laundry and cleaning the apartment. :)

Amazing Hairstyles













I know I've already posted twice today, but I was looking at 100 Amazing Hairstyles and I came across the one directly above. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the top of this dress. It's so beautiful. I would so wear this for my wedding. And the hair matches beautifully. But aren't these hairstyles cool? I so want my hair to hurry up and grow out so I can do more with it. I really want to find out how people do this and come up with it.

Meet Captain Crunch (Cappie)

So I'm linking up with Cait from Fit, Fierce, and Fabulous for a Pet Link-Up, so....


Meet Captain Crunch, a.k.a. Cappie!!!


As you can tell from this picture he's a fluffy, all black, adorable little pomeranian. I want to say I got him back my senior year of high school, so that would make him about 2-3 years old. The picture above is when he we just a little bitty puppy. He's grown up so much, but he's still full of joy!!

I wish I could put more pictures up, but the only ones I have still show up to big even when I ask for them to be small and it's making a mess of my writing on my blog (If that makes any sense). But he has a Bulldogs jersey that we let him wear. He loves to chase squirrels and make new freinds with other puppies. He is NEVER camara ready. If you ever get a picture of him looking at the camera it is considered a miracle! He's ears are always alert and listening for any danger. He's territorial and does not like for random people to enter his home. He doesn't bite or anything, but he does have a loud bark.

He falls into a state of depresssion if my younger sister, Vanessa, is not in the same room as him. He follows her everywhere and if you come home without her, he will stare at the door anticipating her return. For some reason he ONLY likes to give kisses right on the mouth, so you always have to make sure your mouth is closed. All around he is a fun, entergetic, loving puppy dog, and I'm so thankful to have him as my pet!!

Valentine's Week Update

Monday the 13th
It was the first night of recruitment and in honor of Valentine's Day I made these cute little Jello cups. I tried to take a picture of them, but it did not turn out very well. I actually got a real positive response from the cups. I didn't think it was going to be a big deal considering it was just jello, but I did get lots of compliments saying they enjoyed it. They also thought the chocolate heart was really cute. If you click 'Jello cups', it will send you to the link with the recipe along with a video on how to create them. You'll also see how darling they look!

Tuesday the 14th
So I didn't have a Valentine this year, but that's okay because I got to spend V-day with two great friends, A & K! We made tacos for dinner and watched What's Your Number?, which was pretty funny. A & I fell in love with the song at the end of the movie. It's Natasha Bedingfeild's "Neon Lights" and it's all I can listen to. If you haven't heard it, you should go check it out. By next week I'll probably be sick of it because I would have listened to it so much.

Wedensday the 15th
It was the second night of Recruitment and unfortunately I had a Earth Science Lab that I had to attend so I missed majority of Recruitment which was sad. Not to mention it was pouring down rain! On my way out of the building, I didn't know there was a step so close to the door and I tripped and sprained my ankle just a bit. I did recover quite quickly, however, and hurried my way to recruitment.

Thursday the 16th
Last night of recruitment and it was a blast! I got to stay the whole time. My friend, L, taught us the sticky note game, where everyone gets the amount of sticky notes there are in the circle. For example if there are 12 people in the circle, everyone gets 12 sticky notes. On the first sticky note you write either a sentence or a subject or whatever. Then you pass it to your right and the next person takes what you wrote and draws a picture. Then, they pass and the next person writes a description of the picture. And you keep going drawing a picture, writing a description, drawing a picture, until it gets back to the original sticky. Then you have this timeline ordeal and it creats some of the funniest things ever! We laughed soo hard at some of the things girls came up with. It's our new favorite game!
It was also our Dress up night and I wanted to take pictures but I forgot to put my Sim card in the camera so no pictures. But I'm so excited because we got some AWESOME girls!

This weekend...
I have a lot of fun things going on this weekend and this time I do have my Sim card in my camera so I will be sure to take as many pictures as I can. My camera is a little slow, so I may not take too many because I lose my patience with it trying to take pictures. Hope everyone's weekend is superb!

It's Ok...



...that I have not yet updated about my Valentine's Day yet (but I will)

...to be living off frozen chicken nuggets this week

...to get embarassed when you are singing and dancing your heart out in the middle of the day only to be interupted by a sweet girl selling donuts to raise money for her church knowing she heard you

...not to have bought the donuts from the sweet girl because you have no money



...to be single

...to get a bit bummed out that the flowers you planted are taking forever to grow roots in order to hold themselves in place


....to be completely pumped for the Hunger Games movie to come out


...to have crushes on fictional characters in books such as Peeta from the Hunger Games



Happy Thursday!!!!

More About Me!!



So my sister, Heather, blogs and I saw that she was doing a link up through Neely's site to get her blog out there and I thought I would do the same!!


Hello, I'm Tiffani!!


I am currently a sophomore at Mississippi State University (Go DAWGS!) studying Elementary Education. I have always wanted to be a teacher since like Kindergarten. There's no doubt in my mind that it's what I was born to do.


I was blessed with an amazing family; I'm so thankful to have them. I know many people weren't born into the best familes, so I definitely do NOT take mine for granted. They mean the world to me! I have a dad and a mom, along with two sisters. I'm the middle child. I'm so grateful to have real sisters, because even though you have friends who you think are 'like sisters', I've found that nothing really beats the real thing. They have always been there for me even at my worst, caring for me and watching out for me. So I wouldn't trade them in for anything. They are the best!



(I used the same picture off my sister's blog - it was easier, and I like the picture!)



A couple of my hobbies include: gardening, pilates and yoga, walking/running, cooking, and painting. My first post was about a few of these hobbies (go check it out!), so I won't go into them in so much detail considering this is only my third post! Lol. Painting is something I've enjoyed, I haven't really painted in a while. I should, but I haven't had any inspiration nor have I really been in the mood to drag all my paint stuff out.

I'm also a huge music buff. I pretty much like all types of music, but my all time favorite genre is country. Keith Urban, Montomery Gentry, and Lee Brice are a few of my favorite artist but that's just straching the surface.


I don't really know what else to share at the moment. If you want to know more, then just check out my blog. It's fairly new, but I'm quite excited about sharing my experience with the blogging world!! :0
