God's little gift!

For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted a Jeep. Ask my parents, and they will tell you that as a child, my dream car was a hot pink Jeep Sahara. My dad quickly shot that dream down, by telling me in no uncertain terms that there was no way I would ever drive an open-air Jeep while I was living in his house. This did not kill my dream to drive a Jeep, though. Instead, I began to develop an obsession with Jeep Cherokees. I don't know what it is, but I have always loved these cars! Ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that given the choice between a Porsche and a Jeep Cherokee, I would definitely choose the Jeep. As I started work this summer, I worked with the goal of earning a car. I wanted so badly to buy myself a Jeep, but I just didn't know if I would have the funds (I only had about $3,500 tops to work with). But God provided, and I just bought my very first car-and yes it is a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I can't even begin to explain how excited, and grateful, I am! God, you are SO good!

You Can Stand Under My Umbrella


I just got back from the Rihanna/Kesha concert. Totally worth $10, not because it was amazing, but because I had so much fun. Yeah, the singing was terrible, and Kesha was high out of her mind. And yeah, Rihanna was really weird, and had terrible costumes, and bad songs (for the most part). But she closed the concert with the song "Umbrella". I forgot how much I love this song. Seriously. It's so cute! Every time I hear it, I smile. And I hadn't heard it in such a long time. So hearing it tonight as her closing song totally made the whole show worth it. So I'm sharing it here. Enjoy!
