3 Weeks and 3 Finals to Go...

In 21 days I will finally be married!! :) I can't wait!! There still a little bit of things to get done, but everything is coming together nicely and I am just getting so excited!!

However, Before any of that can even become my main priority... I must finish Finals!!
I have taken one and I have three more to go! I'm really stressed about them because its important for me to make good grades to keep my GPA up! I did not do so well on my Numerical Analysis (i know, it just sounds gross right, and I'm that math major lol) midterm, so I must BEAST my final!! So please, prayer is appreciated! My Differential Equations one I am not super scared about, but my professor loves to throw curve balls, so I have to be aware and ready for anything! lol. Oh and it's at 7:30 am x_x  And then there is my Educational Psychology final... that one is not going to be fun at all... I have to write a paper... I hate papers.... especially self-reflective-type ones. Yuk! lol. Most people would that that's easy, but it takes a lot of deep thinking and awareness and just.... stuff. lol It has six sections, where I have to pick something from each chapter we covered and talk about why I like it and how I will apply it in my future classroom, and most of it is brain stuff and such... cause it's psychology. Then on top of the paper I have to do a multiple choice online final as well. Yeah, that teacher loves piling on the work.

But then, when 10 am Wed morning rolls around, I will be DONE!!! And then there's Thurs to pack up the rest of my stuff, Friday I get to watch my friends graduate (and cry on the inside that even though this is my fourth year of school I am not graduating yet), and then Sat I GET TO GO BACK TO ARKANSAS!! :) Not saying I don't love Missouri, but this weather is killing me!! It can't make up its mind whether or not it wants to be hot or cold, sunshine or rainy. I'm ready for that warm, beautiful, spring/summer weather of Hot Springs! Maybe I'll even get to go to the lake! I'm so excited because I'm actually getting to have a little mini vacay! No work for three weeks for me!! :) I'll get to focus on getting ready for the wedding, and start running to look better in my bathing suit (yay! CRUISE!!) and just relax... hopefully :)

Ahh... everything is so close to being done and I'm getting so excited for the next chapter in my life!!

What's going on in your life? Finals? Summer plans? Vacations? Work?

29 Days and Counting....

It is true,
I am a TERRIBLE blogger. lol.
However, I REALLY am going to try to blog more often! Especially because as of right now since it's approximately 3:03 am as I write this I have roughly 29 days and 11 hours till I marry the love of my life!! It's funny because I started this blog to be able to blog about our time of engagement and planning the wedding and what not. It's just been so hard to do with school, life, and well... wedding planning. lol. But school will be over in two weeks and two weeks after that I will be getting MARRIED!! :) (Can you tell I'm a little excited?) So things should be a little more settled down and I will be able to write about being a newlywed! I just can't believe that it is so close now! I almost don't know if I should scream or cry with joy or panic or laugh. lol everything just feels so surreal. When me and Tyler get married we will have been engaged for 1,025 days!! That's A LOT of days to wait. So to think that now we are down to 29 days.... wow. I just can't believe it!! There is still a lot to get done for the big day, but I am so excited to wrap up all the planning and walk down the aisle to my best friend and say "I Do". In 29 short days, I will officially be an Ellsworth!! I'm so excited that I'm actually blogging from my new email chastyti.ellsworth@gmail.com so this blog post will say that it was posted by Chastyti Ellsworth. hehe. I just couldn't wait to start changing my names on certain websites and getting my new email so that as soon as I get married it's all done :) and YES i will be changing my name on facebook THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!! lol. It might even happen during the reception because I just can't wait to let everyone know that I am Chastyti Ellsworth! Just 29 more days!! It was kind of hard to be able to write on this account though because you cannot change your blog email account, I simply had to invite my new email persona to be an author on my blog. I wish they would change that because if I want to change any sort of settings on here I have to log out of my new account and log into my old one. haha.

Anyways... I have a sweet blogger friend named Breanne (you can check her blog out at http://restingonyourlove.blogspot.com/) who has gotten really into running. She inspires me to want to run (and I hate running!) and eat better to be a better me. She explained in one of her posts lately about how running has become a way to worship God for her and I just found that to be so awesome! I want grow in my relationship with Christ and maybe doing something like this would help! Maybe I would eventually begin to like running as Breanne did. Also, another plus to running would be to look better for my future husband!! ;)

There's just so much to get done in the next month, and I've got to make sure I stay focused as the days progress. I pray that I will be able to focus on God in such a way that He will lead me through this next month feeling at peace through a stressful time. I also pray that I can focus and finish off well in my classes and prepare myself for the next chapter in my life!! Marriage :)

I should definitely be writing more often from now on!!
Oh and I will post some of mine and Tyler's favorite engagement pictures soon! I wish I could post my Bridals, but that will have to wait!

What kinds of things do you have going on? What does your summer plans look like? Leave a comment and let me know :)
