Here are some pictures from the weekend...

Chillin' with my puppy...
Flowers for my Mommy cause she was stressed...
So, a lot of people think my life is exciting, full of adventures, hot men, and awesome things.
It's NOT.
Don't get me wrong, my life is awesome. But it's simple.
I don't need anything fancy or big.
Just my family and friends.
Just simply to be loved and thought of.
Sometimes, I feel like people are disappointed that my life isn't full of adventures, dashing young men, traveling the world, eating exotic food, riding elephants and other crazy things that exciting people do.
I'm just me, and that is just fine.
It's my life, and even though it's simple, it is good. Oh, so good.
Don't get me wrong, I wish my life was a little more exciting at times. It would be nice to have foreign hot men chasing me, wanting to paint my picture and take me on romantic gondola rides through Italy. But, truth be told, I would get bored really quickly with that. I don't want large romantic gestures, or fancy gifts. I just want a simple, happy life. I just want someone who will love me for me, be there when I'm sad, laugh at me when I'm silly, smile when I'm happy.
I don't need that now though.
I'm perfect happy with my boring, simple, slow paced life.
I'm sure the day will come quickly when life is hectic and crazy. I'll remember these days, when life was just simple, and think on them fondly. So why wish away these days when I can enjoy them?
I guess this post is just to remind myself how happy I am.
Also, that it's perfectly okay to be simply me.
Just because there are lots of people who think I should be married, or be starting a family, or be finished with school, doesn't mean that's what my life is suppose to be right now.
I'm perfectly happy.
I'm growing, improving, and hopefully preparing for all those things.
But, for now, I'm just little insecure Nichelle, trying to find her place in this world.
Trying to remember that not everyone will hurt me.
Trying to remember that as many painful days, there will be that many or more that are joyous and perfect.
One day, all the heartache, pain and worry will be worth it.
But, why not just enjoy the goodness of life now?
All these thoughts are brought to you because people tend to think I'm anti-marriage because I'm not married. That's not the case. I'm not married because that's not what I need right now, one day, when it's right, you bet your face I'll be married. I'll marry the crap out of that awesome guy. But until then, why can't I just enjoy the life I have now?
So, that's all.
Those are my thoughts.
I'm happy with my life.
Even if it's not as exciting, or as successful as people may want it to be.
But life, you are perfectly perfect in my eyes.
xoxo
Nichelle
P.S. Good love is on the way....

Nichelle, you are amazing. I promise. <3
you are a brilliant woman! too bad not all young women think the way you do, we could totally own the world. btw, lovely bones: great boook, sisters keeper: another great book, john mayer: YUM!
You are awesome - especially because you said "I'll marry the crap out of that awesome guy" ;) It's fine that you're not married - it's more important to marry someone totally worthy of your love. Probably sounds cheesy, but I've realized lately just how important that is. ~ Andi
So who the heck thinks your anti-marriage??! Because I'll beat some sense into them! Lol that's just so crazy. I have several friends who are my age,23, and not married yet, but they are trusting God during this time and serving Him in the meantime. It's pretty cool to see how content they are. :-) you just keep living your life for God, and He will bring your man right to you!!
My Sisters Keeper is such a great book! You won't be able to put it down!
I love this! :] Such good quotes and reminders for ALL of us. Also, I'm jealous of some of the good books you got! I absolutely LOVE Jodi Picoult books!
Your puppy is beautiful. What breed is he or she? :]
