i did it! i did it!
you know when you're just sooo proud of yourself for doing something challenging and getting over the difficulty and accomplishing your goal? i totally feel like that right now! i feel like singing that song from my fair lady that goes, you did it, you did it, they said you couldn't do it but indeed you did! when colonel pickering was congratulating professor higgins on accomplishing their task of turning a common girl into a high society lady.
except my accomplishment was completely and totally nerdy! i'm doing another friend's invitations and the way i asked her to reformat the excel worksheet turned out to be incorrect. so i had to go through so much clean up of the data in excel so that i could get it to merge over to word the way it needs to be. so i was basically cleaning up data for like 1.5-2 hours, but when i imported it over, voila! it turned out exactly how i need it to be! no other modifications needed!!!! oh sooo beautiful! beautiful as in so perfectly functional!

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
