Last week one of my most favorite events of the year took place: The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Everything about this runway show is fierce. The music, the designs, the makeup, the girls. I never miss it.

I’ve accepted the fact that I will never be a Victoria’s Secret Angel seeing as I don’t stand above 5’3 but during the hour the show airs I can pretend I’m there along with the girls.

My favorite performance during this year’s runway show was Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars (shown above.)

I pinned some Victoria’s Secret workouts that the models do on Pinterest and now that finals are over I intend on getting right on them.

I long for another adventure like the one that found me in the mountains of Tennessee last weekend. I was on a retreat with Campus Outreach and while there were some amazing talks and some wonderful worship I found God the most there while we were white water rafting the Ocoee River.

I was scared before we even set foot in the water. I didn’t think I would be able to keep up and I was convinced I was going to fall out of the raft but thanks to a great raft guide neither were true. At first I was so nervous that I wouldn’t let my focus shift from how I held my paddle and just how sharp the rocks around us looked but as I became more comfortable and sure of myself and our guide, I took a moment to look around and what I found was breath-taking.

Trees rose up on either side of the river and created a shield around us, the freezing cold water seemed to rush straight on to the mountain that towered almost in front of us, and the moving water created a calming mountain symphony. God was and is in all of it. The water would splash up and cover the right side of my body and before the cold of it could really set in the sun would warm and dry me.

When we returned to dry land and went back to our cabin we all changed into dry clothes and then, exhausted, everyone laid on the ground in the sun and just soaked it in. I could easily spend every day like that.

Knocked Up/Kings Of Leon

There’s just something about listening to absolutely anything that Kings of Leon does. Almost every song takes me to a night in a downtown where the sound of bands and people in bars can be heard by pedestrians. And in this daydream I am obviously married to any of the Kings of Leon.

I want this to be the first song I dance to with my husband at our wedding. Girls will be girls…

"He knew why he wanted to kiss her. Because she was beautiful. And before that, because she was kind. And before that, because she was smart and funny. Because she was exactly the right kind of smart and funny. Because he could imagine taking a long trip with her without ever getting bored. Because whenever he saw something new and interesting, or new and ridiculous, he always wondered what she’d have to say about it—how many stars she’d give it and why."

— Rainbow Rowell, Attachments

When I was in the 9th grade, I was given a book entitled The Perks of Being a Wallflower. One of the best friends I’ve ever had, Clark Davis, gave it to me. I remember going into the coffee shop he worked at and him handing me this book and a cd to go along with it. It was an early birthday present. I opened the book and found a note from Clark. He wrote about how much this particular book had helped him through a hard time and he hoped it would mean as much to me as it had to him.

Clark is still one of my best friends. This book had a big part in my life and I hope the movie can live up to it. I know Clark will be by my side on opening night.
