Who's bright idea was it to give you power?

Spotted at work (OK, in my cubicle).

And no, I have no power. I'm an intern, remember?

Photo Update

Like I said, I'm pretty far overdue in updating people on my life. I suppose I can say I've been busy, but really, who hasn't been? So before I get back into the routine of blogging, I thought I'd do a quick photo update so you'd all know what's kept me away for so long...

Mom and Kaden

The OKC Marathon! I'm so proud of my brother, he ran the entire 5k! In all, almost 50 of my family and family friends walked the 5K in memory of my cousin, Blake.

Kaden Black Belt

Kaden got his black belt! Once again, I am SO PROUD of my brother!! (I'm proud of Kale too, I just don't have any pictures of him at the moment that I know of!)



My big and best friend, Caylee, graduated!! GO CAYLEE!!!!! I will be lost without you next year, but I am so excited for the opportunities you will have in the future. I hope your internship is going well and you get a super job afterward. If you must move to Alaska, at least it will mean good vacations for me! :)



Jared is now officially my coolest cousin :) haha. Katie Kennedy became Katie Voegeli on May 22! Congrats Jared and Katie!



LAKE SEASON IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This might be the most exciting picture of all (kidding, kidding!). After Amanda & Austin's wedding in Stillwater (congrats, you two!) I went to the lake to spend the rest of my long weekend. I drove onto the dam just in time to see this beautiful sunset. By the time I reached the other side (after stopping to stare since there were no other cars), it had completely gone down. Those of you who know me well will probably know sunsets are one of my favorite parts of God's Creation and I LOVE seeing them. I never get tired of watching sunsets, and driving from Stillwater to Ft. Cobb let me watch this one in its entirety!



I had surgery on my knee on June 10, and they put this bracelet on me. I should probably wear one of these all the time.



Mom got a little sick trying to take the wrap off my knee two days after surgery!! They were able to find some things to repair in my knee, thankfully. I will start PT soon so keep me in your prayers!



Patrick is my faithful blog reader and commenter, so I felt I should pay tribute to him by including him in the update. We've been friends since forever, and I beat him a few times in sheep showmanship at the county fairs :)

What would YOU, my faithful blog friends, like me to blog about? Any topics in particular?

Have a great week and be blessed!

So, dont tell anyone, but...

One thing I've noticed in my 21 years on earth is that people STINK at keeping secrets and promises. And, for some reason, some of the people you trust the most (your "best" friends) seem to be the people that break the promises.

One area I've noticed friends seem to have difficulty is with boys (Guys, sorry, this is from a girl's POV. Leave yours in the comments!).

I remember in 5th grade, one of my then-besties asked my "crush" to "go out" with me. In high school, another friend would never dream (yeah right!) of telling a guy I liked him! Maybe your bestie isn't telling the guy/his friends you like him, maybe she's telling everyone else. All your friends, all your enemies, all your family... Sound familiar?

Maybe it has nothing to do with a guy. Maybe we're telling other secrets about each other - who got the promotion, who hates their boss, who couldn't make it in the top house, who has an eating disorder, who had a fight with their parents or maybe "just" revealing details about a bad day.

No matter what it is, these things we're telling were told to us in confidence. Why, ladies, do we have to tell things our friends trust us not to? Even if she never said "don't say anything", many of these things were told in secret. Some things you might have discovered accidentally (or on purpose), and she didn't even want you to know.

Remember when we were first graders breaking pinky promises was the worst thing we could do? When did that change?

My challenge to you, ladies, is to keep secrets. Keep unspoken pinky promises just as well as you keep spoken ones. Be the girl your sister can confide in and know her secret is safe with you.

Love your sister. Love your friends. A true bestie is so hard to find.

Thank you to my bestie for being the best. You keep my secrets and love me no matter how difficult it might be.

New blog site :)

Hey, all!

This is the NEW Shae Suzanne blog! Because I have poured my heart into entries on the old blog, I will also be pulling them over here (slowly).

Why did I switch where my blog is hosted? I want to be able to update you more frequently! After waiting months for a mobile app from Weebly (where my portfolio is hosted - great for that use, by the way!), I finally decided I would just make the switch to Wordpress. It makes sense; I want to be connected 24/7, and the Wordpress app on my BlackBerry makes that possible.

Thanks for following me and being a part of my journey. As always, I love feedback (especially music suggestions)!
