Relaxation

My largest project of the summer at work is done and I couldn't be more excited. I have been working on stuff non-stop for the past three weeks. It felt so surreal last night when the event was over and I didn't have to worry about it anymore. So now the rest of my summer will be one million times more relaxing.

But I am also still a little stressed because all my friends from college are coming to stay at my house this weekend. Trying to get everything ready for five people on top of everything else I need to do has been a little stressful.

Sorry I haven't posted more but I just don't have anything to say.

New Product

So I really needed to start having the motivation to clean my room. I do not have cable in my bedroom at home and the movies I have have gotten a little boring. So I was trying to find a way to be able to watch Netflix on my TV. I did a little online research and figured out the best thing for me was going to be Google Chromecast or a Roku Stick. I was originally thinking that I would go with the Google Chromecast because it was cheaper. I also looked at the Roku products and decided that for the things I wanted to do the Roku Stick would be fine. I was out running a few errands and decided to look at Walmart. They had both products set up right next to each other, which for me was super nice because I could read and look at both. So I sat there for a while trying to decide and then I asked one of the workers if he knew which one was better and he said the Roku. I also looked up some information in the store and there is a remote with the Roku but the Chromecast just uses your phone somehow. So I decided to take the leap and get the Roku and hope for the best.

I got it home and opened and took everything in my room. I started to read the instructions because I was terrified of messing it up. Normally, I get my brother to help me set up stuff like this but he could not so I was on my own. Thankfully, the instructions were super easy to follow and it walked me right through the process. It was all set up.

I started by getting my Netflix set up on it which was super easy I just had to put in my log in information and I was ready to go. So that made me super happy because that is the main reason I bought this product.

Next, I found out I can log in to YouTube and watch videos on the Roku. This made me super excited! I really like YouTube videos and watching them on my TV is amazing.

Finally, I also figured out through Radio or Pandora you can listen to music. Which is really good because the speakers on my computer suck so it is nice to actually be able to hear it.

Now I am just hoping when I move into college the Wifi there will be good enough so I can use it at school too. But if I can I still believe it is well worth the money.

Here is a link to get it on amazon (otherwise just go pick it up at your local Walmart): http://www.amazon.com/Roku-3500R-Streaming-Stick-HDMI/dp/B00INNP5VU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1436649793&sr=1-1&keywords=roku+stick

Dreaming

I have been spending most of my time working but I have also tried to spend time every day relaxing. I have been watching a lot of videos online about people getting new apartments and houses. Then of course I have also been watching decorating videos. This has made me so ready to have my own little place someday. Dorms just don't cut it and I am ready to not be living in my parents house. Except for the fact that I am not financially ready for that because I am also paying for school, so there is no way I could afford to live completely by myself if anything I would have to have a roommate. Which that wouldn't be horrible if I could find the right person. But I also really like having an area to myself and not having anyone interrupt. I know I need to have a full time job before I even think about getting my own little place. I guess until then I will just have to keep looking a videos of houses, apartments, and decorations.

Work

So I work with kids in the summer and let me just tell you it has been exhausting. These kids are from a lower income area and they just tend to always keep me on my toes. There is also a lot of drama that happens between the kids. Some days it is rough. I sometimes rethink my career choice even though I know that this is what I want to do with my life. This kids can be exhausting and rewarding all at the same time. Please just pray for me as I continue the summer because some days have been hard.

Sorry this is really short I do not know what else to say. I also do not know what to write about in posts so, if you have any ideas please comment them below.

Safe Harbor

I stumbled across this quote when I was on Pinterest earlier. This really made me think about the meaning behind the quote. Sometimes I think I try to stay safe in the harbor. I like knowing what is happening and being in control. My safe harbor is often the places, people, and things I am comfortable with. I feel safe around my family, friends, hometown. All these things allow me to know what to expect. 

This quote says that ships are not meant to sit in the harbor. They are meant to sail. The same thing applies to me as I think about it. God did not create me to stay in one little area where I can control life. God created me for an amazing purpose. I need to trust more that God will allow me to have new amazing experiences. I need to take the chance to explore new places and meet new people. 

I need to be willing to leave my harbor because I know that when I need to sail back my harbor will still be there for me.   

Ideas

So I am trying to think of ideas for blog posts because sometimes my life in just not exciting and I have nothing to tell you guys. I do not even know if the same people are always reading this or if you guys are just stumbling across it and read a post and then leave. Either option is fine! If you are a regular reader I would love you to comment, you could leave a question for me to answer or something you would like me to talk about. I love taking other people thoughts into consideration.

Anyways, I was thinking it may be fun to do some lifestyle type pieces with pictures. I do not know if anyone would like it. I was thinking I could do things like what is in my purse or what are my favorite apps. Let me know if you would like this. If no one comments I will probably do them anyway because I need ideas, but I would love to hear from you!

My New Baby

Now I know from the title that you guys are probably thinking man you never mentioned being pregnant and that is a pretty big thing to hide. Do not worry I did not have an actual human baby. But as I was saying in my last post that I had been looking to buy a car. Well I got a car and it is now my baby. I just finished cleaning it up a bit and putting new floor mats in. It is a 2004 Kia Spectra, so do not worry I did not go out and buy a brand new car and my parents did not buy me a brand new car. This car is my baby because I paid for it by myself. I am extremely proud of this fact. It is a little silver car with a hint of blue color. I am crazy excited and as everyone knows this makes my life so much easier. I can go babysit and go hang out with my friends without having to coordinate with my entire family. Do not worry I love my family but having four people driving two cars before was a little hard. Especially because I had been used to having my own car. I am very excited! But, now I need your help because I want to give this car a name because I love it so much but I need ideas. The car does look a little more girly so maybe it should have a girl name but I am open to any names. So tell me in the comments what should I name my car?
