This Weekend I...

Hola amigos!

I figured I should try to start writing more regularly. So here's my weekend wrap-up. What did I do this weekend?

Other than an amazing Thursday night with TheyCallHerMeghan....Nothing.

But Thursday, I finally got to meet Meghan and after driving around for over an hour looking for a country bar that doesn't even exist anymore we found...Shotgun Bettys.

It was a fun little country bar. I got to have some AMAZING tasting drinks, not to mention sharing Meghan's first shot experience with her!

Seriously though, I love this girl. I was a little afraid of meeting her but as soon as we did, we just clicked. Just like we did online. She's seriously one of my best friends. 

Other than that I literally did nothing. Laid around in my apartment, laid by the pool. Was LAZY as all hell. This is how I am until school starts. Then, who knows?

Oh, except I did try a new church with my friend Nicole who is back in town. I really enjoyed it. The pastor was so real and down-to-earth. I liked it and may go back. But I also want to check out a few others. We'll see what happens. God is good. He'll figure it out.

Linking Up:

This is me. This is who I am.

Hello fellow bloggers.

Like many different areas of my life, I'm starting over; starting fresh. So, I feel I should introduce myself.

My name is Jayme. I'm 21 and a SENIOR at Drake University. I'm an education major and my dream job is teaching kindergarten in a poverish area.

I'm currently engaged to the love of my life. His name is Daniel and he's 22 years old. We met when I was only 13, him 14, and we had already been dating for 3 days. It's a crazy story, but that's how I like it. To quote Hunter Hayes, "I don't want easy. I want crazy." And that's exactly what I get with this man. We've finally set the date for June 28th, 2014 and I'm THRILLED to say the least.

I have a small group of friends (mostly due to the drama that caused me to create this new account) but I wouldn't trade them for the world. My best friends include 2 girls from elementary school, my college roommates, 2 amazing Christian women who live in the real world instead of in a bubble, and a girl I met online when I first started blogging.

I have 2 younger siblings. They are twins and seniors in high school. I'm not entirely sure how that's even possible! Along with that are my dog, my cat, my parents, grandparents, and an abundance of aunts/uncles/cousins. Not to mention the soon to be in-laws, with whom I'm extremely close. I love my family to death and I would do absolutely anything for them.

I have the best job ever at a day care, where I work with children from 6 months old to 5 years. I've spent the summer working full time with 3 year olds and it's been such an amazing experience. I love seeing them grow up and learn. Such a blessing. 

I'm a Christian and have been practicing my faith for just over 6 months now. I found a great group of friends (although they are the same ones with which there is now drama) that introduced me to Christ and as soon as I heard the word, I knew it was the truth. I was saved from my old life on February 2nd and on March 10th, I was baptized to show my love and obedience to the Lord.

Previously, I spent 9+ years of my life listening to the lies that I wasn't good enough. I struggled with self-injury for a long time, as well as from a variety of eating disorders. But through the love of my good friends and through my faith, I'm proud to say I'm almost 9 months into my recovery and I've never been happier.

I'm a very passionate reader. I read constantly, sometimes up to 7 or 8 books at a time. If I could have my way, I'd curl up with some coffee and a good book every day of the week. You can find me at http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/6782791-jayme-shelby

I'm a little bit of country and a little bit of rock and roll. I'm crazy. I'm outgoing. I'm lovable. And I'm passionate. 

This is my story. This is me. This is who I am.
