These Three Things - Choose to Be Happy

It's time for my favorite day of the week in the blog world...another guest post in my "These Three Things" series! Hooray! Today the absolutely beautiful Chelsea is here from Choose to Be Happy to share the three things that define her. Chels is one of my favorite bloggers out there for SO many reasons...she's super sweet, laugh out loud hilarious, and a precious thing full of positive energy. She is stunningly beautiful...and she's just as pretty on the inside, too. Y'all definitely need to head over to her blog. It's a daily read for me! : )

ooo i am so very happy to be here today on meggie's
blog!
she's one of my virtual favorites.
even if her lsu,
beat my alabama... whatever.
so, 3 things that help define
me..
well, that's easy as
A. B. C:


1.) Alabama

sweet home alabama

the biggest leap of faith i have
ever taken was when I decided to attend the University of Alabama.
 

i grew up in Connecticut so Alabama
was a far, far way from home. and well, i didn't know one single soul
there.

 but i just had this feeling.
 i  was drawn to the south.

you see, i'm like a
plant. 
sometimes i think i need sunlight
more than i need food. this is no exaggeration.
 

the sun, it gives me happiness
superpowers.  
i'm kind of dependent on
it. 

So I applied. I enrolled. And I fell in
love. 

 In love with the the campus, the people, the weather. I was smitten with
every dot of it.

so i took that leap of faith, and i am
very happy i did.  

i
have such fun college memories with some very special people to look
back on and miss.

 {plus, i met my
boyfriend there, which leads me to number 2...}

2.) Baseball

ooo baseball.  i have such a
love/hate relationship with this sport
but, its a big part of my
life. 
my boyfriend plays it for a
living. 

In 2009 he was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies
organization.  
Baseball season carries him far up North from the very
beginning of March to mid or late September.  
half the year. 
it's not fun, this long distance
stuff. 

It has taught me that the baseball
lifestyle is not for the weak of heart, its a long
season. 
and it definitely continues
to challenge me.

so, for a couple of long months, our worlds do not
allow us to be in the same place.
but sometimes, your greatest weaknesses become your
greatest strengths. 
and that thought, it gives me comfort.
  
I am learning to deal with the curve balls and one day
i will win over baseball,
it might just take a few extra innings :)

3.) Celebrating

i love to celebrate!
especially birthdays... they are
kind of my specialty. 
but! not just whole
birthdays.... half birthdays too.
 half birthdays are extra great
since most over the ripe age of 7 don’t keep track.
{i am the exception}
this makes the element of surprise
so much better for the unsuspecting
i hope the kid in me will always
continue to love the joy in celebrating
whether its birthdays, half birthdays or just every day
little life things.
It’s my own special way of showing others just
how happy I am to have them in my life. 


so there you have it,
A, B, and C-- that was fun!
thanks so much for having me Megan!

Y'all, isn't she just THE cutest?! Chelsea, I totally love the way you did your three things. You're cute and creative...I guess we will keep you around. : ) But seriously, I can't imagine having a long distance relationship for so many months a year. You are amazing and that talented BF is lucky to have you!

Thanks so much for this sweet guest post!! : )

Love, love!
