"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." - Corinthians 13:4-7This beautiful quote is just what I needed to remember right now... ♥

In the middle of watching the third episode of this season's Bachelor, and I gotta say, I think I may have just a teensy weensy crush on Mr. Sean Lowe...
| "Hey ladies, I'm perfect!" |
Last season, with Emily Maynard, was the first time I watched The Bachelor or, in that case, The Bachelorette. It's strange because the entire time I was voting for either Arie or Jef, Emily's second and first choices, respectively. (Maybe it's because I'm not normally attracted to men with really blonde hair? I don't know...)
The first time I actually even took notice of Sean was after she chose Jef and Arie over him. I remember being very impressed by his reaction to being rejected. He seemed genuinely hurt but never once said anything remotely negative about her. Instead, he only wished her the very best. I can't imagine it's very easy to be rejected and humiliated on national television, but I thought he handled it in the very best way possible, and I think the way someone handles being rejected speaks volumes about their character.
| I wonder if Emily regrets sending Sean home? I know I would... |
Now, watching Sean on this season's The Bachelor, he continues to grow on me more and more. I hope he picks one of the sweeter, more genuine girls, but I think no matter who he chooses, I'll be just a tiny bit jealous.
Kind of wishing I had applied to be on The Bachelor right now. And truth be told, I'm only slightly kidding here. XD
Edited @ 1:04 PM:
Okay, I just finished the third episode, and now one of the girls I am definitely rooting for is Ashlee F.! (I also like Robyn, Catherine and Leslie.)
I'm also really glad he sent Kacie B. home. He saw the drama with her. Now, I'm just hoping he sends Tierra and Amanda home soon. He spotted the drama with Kacie B., so he should be able to eventually spot it with Tierra and Amanda.
Sometimes, I can't help myself and I find myself lusting over things that someone in their twenties probably should not. Usually, it's something Disney, cute or girly, or in this case, all of the above. Behold, the new Disney princess bear from Build-a-Bear:

I will be staying here when my family visits the new Fantasyland expansion at Walt Disney World. It's already been decided in my head.
Beginning Sept. 15, 2012, guests can dive "under the sea" with Ariel and become part of her world when the resort's final phase opens with 864 standard hotel rooms.

I believe I've blogged before about how much I adore Miss Kika's incredibly cute artwork, but even if you aren't familiar with Miss Kika's style, I'm sure you will still enjoy watching the following video:
