I'm not going to lie.
Lately I've had no very little desire to blog.
I've been swamped lately with paper. It's just no fun.
But this weekend Logan finally had some free time, so I opened my schedule every now and then for him ;)
So here is some random, somewhat-of-an-update on my life.

Okay. Have y'all ever heard of Duck Dynasty?
Holy heck. This show is amazing. 
Logan introduced me to it on Friday night... (We watched hours of it!)
It's the funniest little show about this family that invented some sort of special duck call and now they are billionaires. I am in love with it. You should be too.

Logan and I went to a Smokies baseball game on Saturday night. 
I love being able to treat him to things he enjoys.
It was nice to have some time to ourselves after a busy week, but my goodness was it cold!
What is up with the weather?! My Papaw blames it on the end of the world. "Are you ready, Tori Grace?", he says :)

I'm getting super excited for a couple reasons.
1. Summer break is less than 10 days away. And I'm SO ready.
2.  Girl's Retreat is this weekend. A couple of friends and I are leaders and I just know that God is going to do some wonderful things in our hearts. I can't wait to be in a cabin in the beautiful mountains celebrating the greatness of being a daughter of the King!
3.  It's almost the 25th, and that means it's almost time for a new Julep box! I can't wait to share all the new treats with y'all. Are you a Julep Maven? You should be! Click {here} to take the quiz and find out {here} what all the rave is about. (If you take the quiz in the link above and decide to join-- use this coupon: APRILINTRO and you will get your box for ONE PENNY!)


Love y'all

you're a rare kind of wonder, created just right

Stumbled over the wonderful message of a song I used to listen to in middle school.
Hope you love it as much as I do.


Plain by ZOEgirl on Grooveshark

He made you feel plain
When he forgot your name
Well let me tell you something,
I have felt the same.
I know you're in pain
But there'll be another Boy along the way and
God he made you beautiful and
There's nothing about you thats plain.

You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky
You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
Theres nothing about you thats plain


You tell me you're not the type
The kind of girl that they like
And your a little insecure about
How you look in their eyes.
Well fashion will change,
Trends come and go everyday,
But God only made one of you and
There's nothing about you thats plain

You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky
You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
Theres nothing about you thats plain 

See your mind, it is precious
Though your heart may be restless
And your eyes they will see
All that you're meant to be
'Cause your spirit is strong
And your soul carries on
You'll keep your head up no matter the pain
There's nothing about you that's plain

You know I've had my days,
When I feel out of place....yea
I look at who I am,
Cover what I can ,
I wish it all would change. But...
Take the makeup away
You see the same girl still remains..
She may not feel that beautiful
But theres nothing about her thats plain.

You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky
You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
Theres nothing about you thats plain 

You may have felt plain,
But...God, He knows your name
Let me tell you something, yeah...
There's nothing about you that's plain

(Well technically, I don't have it yet...but it's on it's way!)

The new Demi Lovato song

Wanting:
Is it unreasonable to say these are more a need than a want?


What are you loving and craving this season?
