Queenies Little Kingdom

I’ve been waiting……for my awesome leopard print rainboots to arrive. It’s been raining and raining here everyday. Finally, they came last night! 🙂 Yay!

I was so excited! I planned to wear them to school with my cute new skinny jeans (ON JEANS DAY FRIDAY!). I put together a black shirt and cream ruffly sweater then slipped on my cute boots….and walked in the bathroom where my fashion consultants were busy prettying up to hear–“You’re cute, but don’t wear that today! It’s NOT raining!” Whaaaaa? All it has done, is rain! Heck, our state is still under flood warning! Today, the sun is shining!

Back to the drawing board! I changed jeans, shoes and kept the sweater/shirt combo and off to school I went. Sat in crazy traffic (RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY SCHOOL) forever! Finally made it in the building and guess what?

IT ISN’T JEANS DAY, YET!! 😉

Oops!

God
Thank you that it’s Friday! I know we say it all the time, but I’m really happy to have made it another week. I cherish the weekend’s that you give me time to rest and recoup! Let me be a blessing to the family I spend my time with.
Amen

Please go to Save Twenty-first Century Scholars on Facebook and LIKE! IU has put together a great amount of info on this very important issue!

Time is ticking for this program. If Rep. Tom Dermody has his way….Hoosier families will be out of the promise that they pledged to be a part of. In other words, THE DEAL IS OFF!

If you know how much college costs….then you realize that this could be a devastating blow to many who otherwise wouldn’t have a chance to afford college.

Right now, this is in the hands of folks that are sneaking it right on through legislature. Anyone can help. By calling the Indiana Representatives offices and voicing your concern.

If you’ve ever watched the Raven Symone movie College Road Trip, then you know how emotional searching for your daughter’s future college can be. I cry, every single time I watch it. Martin Lawrence plays the dad and he tries everything to force his little girl to attend the college HE CHOOSES! Sounds like a dad, huh?

That’s not how our trip played out. We have the choice narrowed down to two and they are in the same town, Bloomington! We took off towards B-town on Friday morning in search of answers. Both of us felt a little nervous about the whole situation (I hope that’s how everyone feels). Not only were we going to do a college tour….but Ally had a dinner date with her prospective roommates at 5pm. I can’t believe I just typed the words, roommates!?! Huh?

After our tour, we picked up Gavin from his apartment and headed for lunch. Mexican food! Yum! Then we did what everybody does on college visits….test drove Jeeps! We needed to kill time and this just happened to be what everyone wanted to do. In the rain! 🙁

We ditched the dude and headed to the roommate dateNoodles. God has such a cool way of blessing us if we just get out of the way. That’s how Ally and I felt after leaving the roommate date. All of the girls were awesome! {Thank you Lord} Now, we just wait as in wait for final details about schools.

We had a great day and met some terrific people. We even learned our way around B-town (right Ally?).

Here’s our picture before we left…..We took it ourselves, can you tell?
