A Day to Celebrate!

Happy Friday, Y'all!

We've got two things to celebrate today at Cotton's Pickins!

First and foremost, I want to wish the happiest of birthdays to Little M, who turned 21 today! I wish I could be in Gainesville tonight to celebrate.

Second, today is acceptance day for The University of Florida, my alma mater! I cannot believe it has been four years since I officially became a Gator! I can't say I have ever been as happy as I was on that day and will ALWAYS be proud of be part of the Gator Nation!  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Today's Pickins:

1. DIY Valentine Bag Toppers

2. Loving the touches of Emerald

3. Love was made for Me and You

Happy NYE!

My BIG News!!

I've been waiting a little bit to share this news but....

I got my DREAM job!! 

I am going to be working in social media for an awesome national television network that just happens to be based out of my area! That should be a huge hint as to just who I am the newest employee of! 

With a degree in Agricultural Economics, I would've never thought I would have a chance to work in social media! I am just so humbled and blessed to have this great opportunity! Seriously, y'all. This road has been a bumpy one full of man tears and even potential plans to move to Texas. YUUP. 

Not to mention, I am off from now until my mid-January start date. A little PTO never hurt anyone...

So, I ask this of you, bloggers! I know quite a few of you work in social media/ digital marketing  and I would love any and all advice you are willing to give! Pleaseeeee!

Have a blessed Christmas Eve, everyone! 

Today's Pickins:

1.  Entry Level Resume Tips!

2.  Is your house on fire, Clark!?

3.  Check out my favorite Christmas Cocktails! 

Happy Birthday to Me!! + 100 Posts

Today is my birthday! It has been more than I could have ever dreamed of already and I look forward to all of the amazing things 22 holds for me! 

This special day has also caused my heart a little extra pain for those killed in last weeks tragedy. It is so sad to think of the children that will never make it to another birthday and the parents that will never get to see their sweet little angels grow. I feel extra blessed to be able to celebrate another year today.

Another reason to celebrate--this is POST 100!!

Thank you all so much for your kind words throughout this blogging experience-- I am so grateful for the many doors this has opened! You all have really made this facet of my life something that I look forward to each and every day! I look forward to sharing some FABULOUS news with you all soon! 

Have a wonderful day, friends!
