New Puppy & Throw Back Thursdays!

First, I want to start by showing you the newest member of the Shaffer/Swank family [The Swanks are the people that my parents work for]. They have a Doberman named Thunder, a Pug named Cookie, & a kitty named Millard [I'm guessing that's how they spell it lol].

Meet Lightning :)

She was so sweet last night. When I picked her up, she was shaking because she was so cold. Cookie was showing her who was boss, though, by chasing her around lol

I'm also linking up with Monica for Throwback Thursday!

This goes way back to Junior Year [I know it's not that long ago lol]. We were at my friend Emily's house, helping her with a German project. For some reason we were running around [I can't remember why] & my friend Sara [the one in the purple jacket] fell & sprained her ankle. We had planned on going to Wal-mart, so we had her ride around on a motorized scooter. It was the funniest thing ever & no one even questioned us lol

It's ok...

That I am so relieved that I gave my demonstration speech this morning & I don't have to stress about it anymore.

That I waited till the last minute to prepare for this speech.

That I colored easter eggs with my friend on Tuesday -- kid at heart.

That after we colored easter eggs, we made friendship bracelets.

That I can't think of anything else to say lol :p

What's ok with you today?

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Today I'm linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday.

Here's what I'm loving this week...

I want these shoes so. freaking. bad. I was in Target & I saw a girl wearing them & I fell in love with them right away. Hopefully I'll be the owner of these bad boys soon :)

I am so happy that it's finally spring. This gives me a glimpse of hope that summer is just around the corner!

This swimsuit is so freaking cute! I hope to be the owner of this someday soon too ;) I just hate that Victoria's Secret swimsuits are so expensive :(


What are you loving this week? :)
