Love Like Crazy

So, I know this is a love song, but the words in the chorus are great words to live by:

Be a best friend,
Tell the truth,
And overuse I love you.
Go to work,
Do your best,
Don't outsmart your common sense.
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy,
And love like crazy!

YAY for the week almost being over! Happy Wednesday! Take a moment today and think about everything in your life that you are blessed to have- instead of all the things that you are without.

To all of those at camp- hope y'all are having fun and see you on Friday afternoon!

Last few days.....

The last few days have been a smidge busy. On Friday, I was supposed to be on an airplane flying to the beautiful North Carolina for my friend Danny's wedding. My flight was scheduled to leave at 5:15 am from Jacksonville and having an arrival time of 9:40 am in Greensboro. Let's just say NONE of the above happened. I arrived at Jacksonville International Airport at 4:00 am and didn't leave the airport until noon. But it wasn't on a Delta plane...oh no. It was in a car. And that car wasn't heading to North Carolina. I got bumped off of 5 flights. Needless to say, I never made it to the wedding. Danny and Jenna, I am extremely sad that I didn't get to attend your big day, but know that I was there in spirit!

Over the weekend, I saw Toy Story 3, and let me just say that it was so sad. Kelly was here this weekend packing up her things (insert tears here). She will be staying at my casa this evening and will be flying out tomorrow....

Yesterday, was the hottest day ever. Our office got struck by lightening therefore our air conditioning broke. Sad day. I think that the thermometer got up to 103 degrees. Can you say YUCK?

Anywho, its back to work now. Hope everyone has a great day! Cheers!!

OH Landon

SO, many a thing to report on today! First, let me congratulate Mr. Landon Donovan and the US Soccer team with a job well done today! I am so pumped that we are advancing and will be playing on Saturday!!!!

Yesterday was a hilarious day in my crazy life! Last Thursday I was sitting at my desk at work and my cell phone rang. It was a number that I did not recognize, so I decided to answer it. The lady on the other end of the phone said, "Hello, is this Jayme Scott" and I was like why yes it is. She told me her name and then said that she was calling from "The Bachelor." I started laughing. She said that they had received nominations for me to go on the show and they thought that I would be a great fit and they asked me to come audition for them on June 22nd (which was yesterday). I immediately asked if this was a joke and she laughed and said no. I then asked if they called everyone they received nominations for and she said no. She mentioned that I received a great deal of nominations for me (that made me feel a smudge like a loser bahaha). I said that I would come and audition...I mean what did I have to lose.

Yesterday came and went. I went to the audition with my good friend Shelley (she went for moral support but I secretly think she nominated me!). We went, we got free Bachelor pens, I was interviewed and the guy told me that I was small with a very big personality...he also told me I was funny! So now the waiting process begins!! I think it would be an absolute hoot if I got on the show, but either way, this was an experience to say the least.

I hope everyone has a happy Wednesday! Cheers!!!

GOOOOAAAALLLLL

So lately, thanks to various outside influences, have been tuning into the World Cup which is being held in South Africa this year. It is held every four years and is one of the biggest sporting events around the world. This guy has captured my attention...
His name is Landon Donovan and he is a member of the United States team. When he isn't playing for the US Team, he is a member of the LA Galaxy. He is a GREAT reason, among others, to cheer for the US in the World Cup. They are in action tomorrow against Algeria.

Today begins another work week. Mondays are just so difficult to get through. After two days off, you then have to begin another week doing the same ole, same ole. Thankfully, I will be traveling this Friday to one of my good friend's weddings, so this week won't be the same. Also, this week won't be the same because of something that I am doing tomorrow, but I will explain tomorrow about that adventure.

Anywho, Happy Monday everyone! It's summer, enjoy it!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, ALI?

Dear Ali,

Why oh why do you keep Krazy Kasey around? As if his awkward singing wasn't enough, he was insane enough to get a tattoo on his wrist for you! This guy is totally off his rocker and you need to not give him a rose. If you need anymore help, let me know!

Love,
Jayme

Exhausted!!

This weekend was sooo busy!

1. There was a fishing tournament in St. Augustine that we were participating in. I ended up driving down there everyday over the weekend; my parents were staying down there for a much needed vacation.
2. My friend Mandy was here! She was in town for a wedding on Saturday. She stayed with me and we shopped until we literally dropped and laid by the pool and got tan and rested yesterday!
3. The first two things combined made it exhausting!!!
4. The World Cup! I may have a new love, Landon Donavan of the United States team. He def held my interest during the game on Saturday!

It was so good to see a few people this weekend that I normally don't see. I am so thankful for all those people in my life that make it enjoyable!

Also, this week is FULL of birthdays!! They include, Matt, Matt, Daniel and Kevin! Love y'all and I am sad that I will not see you on your days!

I hope that everyone has a loverly Monday!!

Live Simply

This morning, I was thinking about the small things in life that make it enjoyable.

Here are a few:

1. A good cup of Starbucks on a FRIDAY morning!
2. Singing at the top if you lungs (where no one can hear you) on the way to work on a FRIDAY morning
3. Helping someone in need
4. Laughing
5. Seeing friends you haven't seen in a while.
6. Hearing good news!

This past Memorial Day weekend my good friend Ali was asked by her boyfriend Mat to marry him. I am so happy for her! She is an amazing Christian young woman, who stands up for what she believes and puts all of her faith in God, no matter what. She will be moving to Dallas, Texas at the end of this month to continue her education at a Christian school. I wish her all the best! Here are a couple of pictures from our college years:

This weekend I get to see one of my oldest friends, Daniel! He is in town and we are going to see a movie tonight. Then tomorrow, I get to go to a frist birthday party for precious Braiden! I am so excited to see Braiden and his family! Then a little wedding planning date with Ali :)

I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday and an amazing weekend! Remember to enjoy the simply and lovely things in life!

What a week....

Last week I was in the DC/ Virginia/ Maryland area. I can not stress how much I adore some parts of this area! Every time I travel up there, I just fall in love with different parts of it. I ate in Old Town Alexandria and also went to Annapolis on this trip. These places are so cute and have sooo much history in them. And may I mention the food was fabulous! I ate crab cakes every day I was up there!!!! I met up with an old friend of mine, the only night that I had free and we went to the Wharf in Old Town and had the most delicious crab cakes and calamari ever! It was so fun to catch up with an old friend and see his perspective of living up there. I can totally see myself living there one day (maybe soon?!).

This past weekend one of my best friends (I like to believe that I have 5 best friends) moved to Houston. I have good news to report! Kel got the job at a school there and Ms. McKinney will be teaching third grade! I am so happy for her and can not wait to visit!!!

If you know me then you know that I have a fear, a HUGE fear, of planes and flying. The more I travel, the better it gets. We flew out of BWI to come home this past trip and it was awful! It was just one thing after another! I did however, read this new book that I got before I left that Kel said that I should read. The name of it is Commencement. It is about this group of 4 girls who meet their freshman day at college and then stay best friends after college. They begin to grow apart, but they always found a way to come back together. Through heartbreak, moves, new jobs, love, and life in general, they keep in touch and still keep each other a part of their lives. I am almost done with it, and I can say that I loved this book! It reminded me of some of my friends from college and I can only hope that we remain close through life's journey.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday...well really Monday but just think....we only have a 4 day week this week! YIPPIE!!!!
