#30daybloggingchallenge day 3 Favorite quote


Happy Labor Day!

This is day 3 of my #30daybloggingchallenge, favorite quote.

My favorite quote is from Walt Disney, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible."

This quote sums up how I've dealt obstacles in life. Anything I really wanted took a while for me to achieve it. When I finished my GED, my dream was to go to my dream school; The University of Tulsa to study Mass Communication.

It turned out that I had the grades, I had a solid 3.0 average. The problem was socialization; admissions didn't think I would make it through even one semester at TU since I hadn't had traditional socialization. They recommended that I go to Tulsa Community College for a few years first and follow their transfer degree plan. Then, come back when I was ready to transfer. So, I enrolled at Tulsa Community College immediately after hearing that. I wasn't going to let anyone stop me from getting into my dream school.

It took three years to be able to transfer to The University of Tulsa. It was three of the best years of my life other than when I got married. I transferred to The University of Tulsa in 1999 and it was another three and a half years before I graduated with a Bachelor's in Mass Communication. I also earned a Minor in Marketing Communications and a Certificate in Visual Communications.

It was one of the happiest moments in my life when I graduated because I finally proved to myself and everyone else that I could do it. But soon after, I had to recuperate from a tragic accident which left me having to learn to walk all over again. I walked unaided in less than a year, much to the doctor's surprise.

I've also lived up to my favorite quote by traveling solo to Walt Disney World, something many said I couldn't do. I live by a simple rule; never tell me I can't do it or I'll break my neck to do it. I've traveled to Walt Disney World 10 times in the past 12 years. In those 10 times, 4 of them have been solo trips. I love solo trips because I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. If I want to hang out at the pool all morning, I am free to do so. If all I want to do is spend a day shopping at Disney springs; I can. I love the parks, don't get me wrong. My favorite is Epcot, but I just love getting away from the parks as well.

I'm looking forward to making many more so called impossible dreams come true. I'm ready to make changes in my life to make me happy which can in turn, help my family....and I'll get there. Because as Walt Disney said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible."

Things are looking up

Things are changing around here... My husband got a promotion to Assistant Manager at Wal Mart. We are waiting to find out where his job will be. It could be within driving distance of Tulsa, but we aren't for sure. We do know it should be in this area. He has to attend a four week class to be trained in his new job before he is moved. Which means that Japan is postponed until a later date. Another bit of good news...I'm going back to college. I'm attending Tulsa Community College and studying Strategic Communications, otherwise known as Public Relations. I will be finishing my Associates degree there and lack 6-8 classes! I am also being approved for financial aid. I will only be going part time since that is what my aid will cover due to my previous degree. This works out well for me anyway due to having seizures and being unable to take on a full schedule. Once I have completed this degree, I will be attending Oklahoma State University to finish my B.A. in Strate...

Hello there!

Hello! For those who don't know me, let me pour you a glass of sweet tea and let's chat. My name is Gabrielle Farringer and I am a Disney fanatic. I always have been ever since I was a little girl. A little about me: I am happily married to a man named Kenneth since 2006, but we've been together since 2000. Our 12th wedding anniversary comes up next month on June 17th. I have a spirited furbaby, Nando who is the light of my life. I love Disney, WWE, cooking, shopping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. My first trip to Walt Disney World was on June 18, 2006 when we stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter for four days, followed by a 3 day cruise on the Wonder. It was a fabulous time and one we still fondly remember! Since then, I have visited Walt Disney World 10+ times and Disneyland twice. My husband and I took another cruise on the Wonder in 2010 as well. I am looking forward to sharing more with you and hearing from you! Tata for now Gabrie...

My new "do"

So here it is! My new color! I went to Tulsa Style on a groupon and Lou Brewer was my stylist. She was amazing and helped me pick a great color that would suit my skin tone. We went with a rose gold look.  She used a bleach to lighten my hair and then a toner to create the color we wanted. While there, she told me how to further enhance the rose gold look. It's a "pink" shampoo from Sheer Brilliance that will enhance the rose gold. She gave me an all over trim and style. She curled my hair to create the look of the photo I showed her. I will be using her services again. She will be moving soon to a nearby location and when I get the details, I will pass them on.  Here is the website for more information on their services. http://www.tulsastyle.net/
